I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.
Quote:Nope. More recent. Wanna play again, Frem? I'll give you a new deal. Sorry. I thought you knew the "New Deal" was FDR's.

Quote:Mr Chavez arrived on Wednesday and gave a speech at Moscow's People's Friendship University. Characteristically, it lasted two and a half hours and included a tirade against the United States as well as a singalong, with Mr Chavez on maracas.

Quote: Now you could have thought I was referring to FDR due to the fact that the Supreme Court did declare several of the agencies and projects he established to be unconstitutional, and because he tried to change the composition of the Court so he could pack it, but I never said anything about that, so that's obviously just supposition on your part.
Quote: I could have been talking about Pres. Clinton and is line-item veto legislation, which was also declared unconstitutional.
Quote: I could have been talking about Pres. But Bush and military tribunals.

Quote:Besides that perhaps the money spent on troops in Columbia, would be better spent on reducing the number of addicts inside the US.
