�Once in his life, every man is entitled to fall madly in love with a gorgeous redhead�

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."

"The "seven social sins": Knowledge without character,
Science without humanity,
Wealth without work,
Commerce without morality,
Politics without principles,
Pleasure without conscience,
Worship without self-sacrifice."

We have borrowed it from our children."

Remember those weirdo hippy kids I met at my first Kucinich Meet Up? Well, they were extras in that movie! Very obvious extras, in full-on close-up. They played kids watching a movie of Bob Crane�s which was so boring they were practically falling asleep. It was strange to see them in the movie. They are really just very...odd children. Obviously very intelligent, but just...odd. And they seem inordinately close, too, if you ask me. Kind of like Angelina Jolie and her brother, ya know? Or those kids from Flowers in the Attic.
Eew.
And see? I told you they were weirdo hippy kids. They were even playing kids from the late-sixties/early-seventies as extras. And they were wearing like the same clothes as when I saw them at the Kucinich meeting.
I used to work with this gal who was constantly working as an extra. She just loved it. Anyway, one time I saw her on an early episode of Seinfeld (Jerry and George are in a Laundromat; there are two ladies folding laundry behind them and throwing looks back and forth as they overhear Jerry and George�s conversation. One of those ladies is my ex-coworker) I almost crapped my pants. This was a similar moment.

SPOTLIGHT: Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Takes On the Bush Environmental Record
Under the guidance of Republican pollster Frank Luntz, the Bush White House has actively hidden its anti-environmental program behind deceptive rhetoric, telegenic spokespeople, secrecy and the intimidation of scientists and bureaucrats. In a ferocious three-year attack, the Bush administration has initiated more than 200 major rollbacks of America's environmental laws, weakening the protection of our country's air, water, public lands and wildlife.
