My cable system doesn't carry CNBC, and I seem to have trouble

She deserves her day in court.  Clinton deserves more, but first
things first.
Some Democrats are more conservative than others, just as some
Republicans are more liberal than others; and all politicians
choose their positions carefully.  While I've never lived in
Ohio, I wouldn't be surprised if: (1) Trafficant's district is
pretty evenly split along party lines; and (2) he manages to be
rather liberal when it comes to bringing home the pork.
Yep, he has a woman behind him -- best position for pulling the
strings! -- who has all of his liberal qualities *plus a
backbone*.  (He also apparently has more than one backbone-free
woman under his desk in the Oral Office.)

assistant: Every generation wants to make things easier for its offspring.
Sadly, many in our generation failed to learn the values of the
generation before us, which meant we were already at a
disadvantage when time came to pass along our values to the
generation that followed.
In addition, teenage rebellion is a fact of life...and kids are
entering that part of their lives, both physically and
emotionally, earlier than did previous generations.  If today's
parents include a large number of people who are afraid of guns
and won't even permit cap pistols in their homes, it follows that
their offspring will be interested in guns.  It also follows that
those offspring won't know diddly about the consequences of using
guns, since they never had a chance to learn.

As an alternative, perhaps we can get him a government post as a

Hmm...Daddy moves into Vince's old home.  Son presumably had some
opportunity to prowl around the house, possibly while helping
Daddy move some prized personal possessions that couldn't be
entrusted to some moving-and-storage company.  Whitewater-related
files were recently found in the attic of that house...attics,
of course, are common storage places for personal possessions you
no longer use regularly but don't want to throw away either.  Son
now dies under conditions that may or may not be suspicious, while
carrying a document that has been termed "suspicious".
Yep, another typical Arkancide.

Well, I do seem to recall he opposed gun control, and he supported

in the 'hoods, and others who would agree with him if they saw any

Write your reply.

assistant: Agreed Robert. Anytime you ban something the results is to make the
item more desired (law of supply and demand takes effect)
Come on Robert, this is the ole Bootleg Whiskey state. prohibition took
place in the 20's. Them thar hills of North Carolina was thriving in
liquor making well into the 60's. The revenewers chased the
bootlegggers into Stock car racing. North Wilksboro race track was
where a bunch of 'um started racing after leaving the bootleg circuit.
Junior Johnson being one of the most popular along with give 'um hell
Wendell (Wendell Scott). ABC stores was what shut down bootleg Whiskey.
Probably would be worth more and since it is illegal to have coke, and
the seizure of the tractor trailer if caught hauling such an item. Now
like you said previously, if the FDA bans nicotine the product would
increase in price dramtically. I think we are on the same wave length
but not being able to discuss the subject via land line means drags the
discussion out. To bring the discussion back onto topic if that is
possible, is the question of What is Slick Willie really up to? 'Bout
time for the next Limbaugh letter. Maybe there will be some
enlightnment on the subject since it has been in the news.
  Thanks for the come back Robert.

Interesting, that's one I've never heard about.  Surprizing that
my grandfather didn't use that method in the foot-hills of
Louisiana.  He rarely went anywhere except to church without his
hunting dogs along.  That could be connected to his decision.
Whenever we went into the hills we always spent time on the back
porch checking for tics when we got back.  Seems that I remember
my grandmother's favorite method for removing them was kerosene.

assistant: No, at this prsent time mostly non-europeans want to come here. I am saying
 end the "quota by country of origin", make it a "first come, first served,
 regardless of origin" type of thing. Because in the future it may be that
 _mostly_ europeans want to come here. I feel that this is fair. The various
 folks who have been replying to my answers are against having an
 immigration standard which _might_ tip the racial balance in this country. I
 say that this is a racist attitude. So far no one has been able to sway me
 with any logical argument in favor of the current system.

talent, be able to write a clever lyric, & set it to appropriate
music (BTW, I write songs -- Messianic, worship, children's and

taste, regardless of their generation!
