All you guys are so funny. After a long stressful day I come home and read your 1 liners. makes me smile, thanks.
Speaking of Los Angeles, an old talk show guy in LA named Joe Pine use to say, "California is downhill, all the fruits and nuts roll this way."
Enjoy the ride,

Mike: Right after reading your post above about the nuts in LA, I read a great example of your point. The article I read stated that the LA City Council proposed a 40 hour "ban" on homicide to commemorate the anniversary of Martin Luther King's assassination. Out here in America we wonder that if it is possible for these "nuts" to propose a ban on homicide and think it will work, why not "ban" it forever and not just 40 hours?

If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, then you will be afraid to cough.  :/

MOTTO TO LIVE BY:
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to park your 41 Chev and skid in sideways, plate of steak in one hand, Starbucks in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "WOO HOO, what a ride!"

Passer pour un idiot aux yeux d'un imbécile est une volupté de fin gourmet.
"To be seen as an idiot in the eyes of an imbecile is a pleasure worthy of a fine gourmet." - Georges Courteline
There is a story to the above quote, for me.. I was browsing a rather 'hostile' forum, and commented on a subject. Sure enough someone took offense to what I said, and called me an 'idiot'. I responded with the above quote, in french only.
He came back, lambasting me.. and as a snide cut, told me I needed to learn proper french. (Mind you, Georges Courteline is considered one of the great french dramatists and novelists of the early 20th century)
Course, it was fun when someone finally googled the quote and found out what it really said, then broke it to the guy.. :)

This could make for an interesting discussion well beyond a one-liner.
Idiot: an utterly foolish or senseless person.
Imbecile: a dull, stupid person. However, in the time of Courteline it meant: a person lacking the capacity to develop beyond a mental age of seven or eight years.
Being an idiot seems to be a personal choice, however, in the time of Courteline, being an imbecile was a mental problem beyond the control of the individual.

Since yesterday was Federal income tax filing day, I thought the following might make us feel a little better, or worse, as the case may be.
"I would like to electrocute everyone who uses the word "fair" in conncection with income tax policies."--William F. Buckley
"To tax the community for the advantage of a class is not protection; it is plunder."---Benjamin Disraeli
"A government which lays taxes on the people not required by urgent public necessity and sound public policy is not a protector of liberty, but an instrument of tyranny."---Calvin Coolidge
"The current tax code is a daily mugging." ---Ronald Reagan
"I'm proud to pay taxes in the United States; the only thing is, I would be just as proud for half the money." ---Arthur Godfrey
"Lord, the money we do spend on government and it's not one bit better a government then the one we got for 1/3 the money 20 years ago." ---Will Rogers
