I just found out that Dick Cheney….let me re-write that with emphasis, Dick Cheney made $82.9M last year. Eighty-frikkin-two-point-nine-m-i-l-l-i-o-n-dollars!!! On what, pray tell? How?? This is why the tax cuts for the rich were made….I wonder if he’s considered getting straight-shooter lessons with that money, you know, for next year’s hunting season. Ok, now I have to…

Thought I had forgotten, eh? Well, sometimes inspiration takes its time to come and well, here we are on the second week of February.

[DNC Banner] Although I’ve made no attempt at hiding my political views, in a case of pre-debate jitters, I report an article that appeared in the electronic version of The New Republic. I think it says it all. Hero Worship by Noam Scheiber Post date: 09.30.04 Issue date: 10.11.04 Paul O’Neill probably knew what to expect…

Posted on September 29, 2004March 10, 2022 by romanagiulia

I read this morning on The New York Observer that there are 17 year-olds getting Botox injections. Where are we going?????? Oh, and what about the “dermatologists” agreeing to give the procedure. I’m including a quote from the article, which I recommend to all: “Dr. Sobel isn’t the only doctor getting requests for forehead freezing by teenage girls. Dr. Adam…

We Live Underwater!

  As recently as this evening, I am completely convinced the world is coming to an end because of our continual stupidity! Following are excerpts from various news sources…have a look, see if you agree with me.

Tune In To a Debate Near You

Posted on September 22, 2004March 10, 2022 by romanagiulia

So the debates have been agreed upon. Unfortunately, they will only feature the two icons of the American political dichotomy: George W. Bush and John F. Kerry. Sad. True. Will Americans gain insight from the spectacle? Will these be informative programs? No. They will be pure entertainment. Most people will be tuning in for the…
