Whether or not your ancestors were among the people who commit the original
atrocities against the American natives is immaterial -- it certainly doesn't
make you any more qualified an American.  

Anyway, I think I'll stick around this country -- maybe pervert a few children,
indulge in a little homosexual sadomasochism in public, and whisper things
like "blacks are equal" and "the second amendment doesn't cover machine guns"
in the sweet, lily-white ear of your daughter.  Ooh, I can't wait!

	WHAT?!  You're just kidding, right?  Do you _actually_ believe
this?  I can't believe anyone can be this brain-dead.  Trickle-down
works?  Look at the economy over the last few years.  Does the word
'recession' mean anything to you?  Do you have any idea what caused
this recession?  Could it be, just maybe, a result of this
trickle-down policy you so dearly love?  According to the VAST
majority of economists, the answer to that question is 'yes.' 12 years
of trickle-down (sorry to tell you but Bush didn't make quite the
radical departure from it you think) has greatly widened the
socio-economic gap in this country to something analogous to the
Marianas Trech (look it up).

This piece was deemed inappropriate for the editorial page of the 
Daily Beacon here at the University of Tennessee, so you all get it.
Enjoy!


     Marbles are a funny thing. They're a symbol of childhood, yet my
experience with them has mostly been in my college years.
     One marble, lime green, UT orange and brown-eyed girl brown, showed up in
my car right after I bought it. I kept it, thinking that someone would come
looking for it, or that I'd give it to some kid.
No one ever claimed it, and I gradually came to see the marble as a part of the
car. The result is that I've had it five years now and wouldn't part with it.
If you're ever in my car I'll show it to you.
     A superstitious person might be led to believe that marble's lucky, too.
Since I've had the marble I've never needed major mechanical work, only been
rearended once, only had three flat tires, only gotten two or three speeding
tickets, only had one stone crack my windshield, only got broken into once, and
only ran out of gas once, and even then I practically coasted right to the
pumps. Lucky.
     I met another big person, an antique dealer in Crossville, who had a
special marble. I bought an old wooden Coca Cola crate from him to prop up my
computer monitor. I paid him, he handed back some bills, and turned his pocket
inside out, filling his cupped hand with coins, lint, and a single marble.
     He clearly didn't have enough change, so I told him to just give me
whatever he had. He dumped all of the coins and lint in my hand, but said I
couldn't have the marble.
     Like me, he had lucked into his marble. He had been visiting Washington,
D.C. on vacation with his wife. "It was hot," he said. "Real hot."
     While touring the White House with his wife, he saw a marble rolling down
the hall. He dawdled until the crowd thinned out, then slyly picked it up and
shoved it in his pocket, managing to pass White House security with this
treasure.
     "This is gonna be worth something one day," he said, holding the marble up
to eye level. "It's one a' Dan Quayle's marbles!"

I swear it's true.

I guess you have a lot of room to talk. I know when I think of progressive,
tolerant states with corruption-free political systems, Louisiana springs
instantly to mind. How about doing something about your own dirtbag
politicians? By the way, being an incumbent congresswoman doesn't give
someone much advantage in a senate race in California - we have 52 members
of Congress.

Actually, I read somewhere that Justice O'Connor might consider retirement
soon, because of her breast cancer.  Not an ideal situation, since she's in the
middle of this court, but it still would give Clinton another appointment.

Since trickle-down economics worked, until Bush screwed it up, that won't be
a problem.  Especially with his enterprise zones, which most people believe
in.  (Maybe even Clinton; we'll see what he does.)

Perot will not be a viable candidate by '96.  I think people are going to
be sick of him, and his silly metaphors, and his info-mercials, and his
Perot-noia.  If Clinton doesn't improve the economy, Kemp will smash him
like a bug.  (In a nice way, of course.  Kemp's a nice guy.)

No, only the vice president is specified to succeed the president by
the Constitution (you should read the Constitution which is also in
your handy dandy 1992 Information Please Almanac :-). The rest of the
succession is determined by a federal law that was passed in 1947.

I believe you're correct, in that anyone in the line of succession who
was ineligible to serve as president would have to be passed over. However,
as I wrote in another article, it's not clear that Nixon is ineligible
to serve as president since the constitution only limits the number
of times a person may be *elected* president. If Nixon were in the line
of succession and the presidency devolved on him, more than likely a
Supreme Court ruling would be necessary to determine his eligibilty.

Ever since the 25th amendment was ratified in 1967 the chances that
anyone besides the vice president will ever succeed to the presidency
have become extremely slim.

  Bill Clinton was linked with Gennifer Flowers, a woman who had "Playboy"

That the whole thing was exposed for political gain, I can't disagree.
However, the power structure in the House deserved to have the whistle blown on
them.  Foley is a class-A boob, in no uncertain terms.  Besides, 'taking
advantage' of a system is one thing, but the extent to which Boxer and others
'took advantage' of the system indicates behavior bordering on deliberate
intent to defraud.
