if you don't accuse me of trying to block my middle school records

Obama had dual US/Kenyan citizenship until the age of 21, at which point he automatically lost his Kenyan citizenship.

- paperclipgate

- the mileage log indictments

- Fashion Crimes of the Female Clintons

- the Great Economy scandal

and so many more

that would be the Bush dynasty

But I have citizenship, a passport, social security number etc.

Maybe that's because the short form gets all its info from the long form.

Do we really need to see what notes the doctor made about Obama's birth? No...it's none of our business, whether or not Obama is running for president.

Think of the chaos it would cause if every right-wing yahoo group in the US challenged the citizenship of every person they didn't like. Actually, you don't have to imagine it because all thse suits would be thrown out, just like the suit against Obama will be.

because the suit has no merit.

The frivolous citizenship suits against McCain were also dismissed.

but the position of the Obama legal team is that the suit has no merit

...and Obama obviously doesn't feel the need to comply with the random wishes of cranks on the internet

was very good...instead of remaking these SciFi classics, I with they would just re-release the originals at the theater.

but it just didn't work out

I want a science fiction head trip at the theater, not a video game

even if you're right I would like to think that there is still some hope left

Omaba made a $1.65 mil offer on a $1.95 mil house that was sitting on the market. His was the higher of two bids, and it was accepted.

Nobody "underpaid".

more concerned about Mr. Tennis than The Cheater.

Note, I really am not making allegations; I am just repeating what I read on ABC's web site.

I would suggest that the ABC story was biased in the direction of presenting impropriety where none existed. For example, "underpaid" is a biased term...there was no underpayment whatsoever. There was a low offer that was accepted by the seller.

Unless the web article didn't use the word "underpaid"...in which case the bias is yours.

Immediate, brilliant riposte. Personal anecdote revealing the writer's world-class experience with and knowledge of the subject matter. Touching aside. Warm and transparent attempt to curry favor with all. Tertiary issues destroyed and swept aside. Final, irrevocable demonstration that the writer, although sympathetic with the masses, is the sole holder of essential truths.

Sparkling final bon mot.

it's possible

I have a boring job that's secure with good benefits but I'm MISERABLE! I want to be CREATIVE, because creative people are COOL and SPECIAL and FLOAT ON A CLOUD above the conventional time/space continuum that ordinary people occupy.

So give me some advice...because clearly you know the answer to this problem.

it has the Videodrome signal

you have to take the drugs too

among those days in NYC, and SF, and LA, I hoped, no, prayed that the clock would move forward, slowly, but faster, as I edited copy with no meaning that I knew would never take me to that hoped-for place that I knew I could go to, if not for those trapped in their dental and penal and morals plans, yes, I write, and in that darkness I look out into the city and see trapped souls who crave for nothing but a lunch, although not like the worthy people hungering for lunch but rather just people eating lunch, ordinary in their lack of that other, hungered lunch.

the robot appears to be listening

are all women who use dildos "sociopaths"?

that's cutting-edge journalism on your part

so I'll probably take a pass on this one

whereas sex is often about feeling disconnected...not surprising that a lot of people would trade one for the other

well, she didn't say he wasn't...or maybe the mother told the son to tell the daughter not to have sex with the creepy roommate because the mother is in love with the creepy roommate

we just don't know

would you give up sex for ice cream? what about frozen yogurt?

and everyone knows that you don't need to keep your word with losers

yes, it helps

You don't respect your brother and yet you seem perfectly willing to use him for things you happen to need/want.

Since your brother seems to be a bit weird or possibly even crazy, then perhaps you both deserve each other...or could at least teach each other something.

the next killer metric

"drunk sex is the best sex"

no

I only read the letter about half the time

I used to work at a medical products company that had a side business in military components...missile electronics, I think. Morally dissimilar products, yes, but underneath it's all just bits and bytes.

it's coming

Fortunately, people are not normally required to possess credentials in order to make small talk with each other.

How does it work? Where does the money go? Is $850 billion 1.7 times more effective than $500 billion? Or is it 1.7% more effective? Or 170% better? Do we need a trillion just to break even?

Who knows.

Then you have guaranteed that those people who most need to hear your opinions, will not.

The Art of War influenced a wide range of individuals, including General Douglas MacArthur.

uh...let's see...I need a UHaul...an apartment across town...ok honey if you want to reach me just call this guy...yes that's right, he's a lawyer...

and some dynasties are worth preserving

that is all
