"What happened to Bin Laden? They used to talk about him all the time. Now they don't even mention … Bin Laden. Now, I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but I don't believe Bin Laden really existed … A seven-foot diabetic Muslim, lives in a cave like Dr. Evil, there is no electricity, yet his camcorder is fully charged? Bin Laden did more movies ... than [Samuel L.] Jackson."

Drug use and sexually transmitted diseases among American teenagers persist at alarming rates. And U.S. teens aren't the scholars some of their international peers are.
"We have to end adolescence as a social experiment," Newt Gingrich writes in BusinessWeek. "We tried it. It failed. It's time to move on … Children rapidly assuming the roles and responsibilities of adults would yield enormous benefit to society."
Students who finish high school a year or two early, the former House Speaker says, should qualify for a year or two of free college tuition.

"People started celebrating their birthdays by inviting friends out to dinner, typically at a moderately fancy restaurant [then splitting the tab and paying for the guest of honor]. Seems like a nice idea, the birthday dinner. It is not. It is a tedious, wretched affair. It is also an extravagantly expensive one. In these wintry economic times, we need to scale back. I hereby propose that the birthday dinner go the way of the $4 cup of coffee, the liar's mortgage, and the midsize banking institution."

“Whenever I stumble over my own feet, or blurt out a thought that makes no sense at all, or leave the house wearing one pattern too many, I always think, It’s okay, I’m from New Jersey. I love New Jersey, because it’s not just an all-purpose punch line, but probably a handy legal defense, as in, ‘Yes, I shot my wife because I thought she was Bigfoot, but I’m from New Jersey.’”

Men are such babies. When women get sick we have to get up and work but when men get sick they lay around all dayand whin for this and that.
Re: Wife saves men from housework. From a liberal university of course. Does the wife work or stay at home? What does the husband do not considered "housework?" Both my wife an I work. She cooks every night. "Aha," you say, but I do the dishes and that takes longer. I often wash clothes, vacuum etc. In addition, like most women she expects me to take care of the vehicles, fix whatever needs to be fixed, ( the pipe I just replaced under the sink ) mow the yard, paint the house, etc. Lib ****
