I agree there are going to be major financial repercussions. This is race week and there is another in September. The conservative estimates are about 20million generated just for the state by the race crowds - but Dover Downs must negotiate annually with NASCAR for the 2 sets of WINSTON Cup races.

ooh, ooh, I know teach, I know.(Waving hand maniacly)..I actually thought of this as a title for Daschle' book but thought I'd expand it a little to include WFTD.
Jolly Dems
In Washington the standards are double
Dems skate on charges that get Repubs in trouble
Thomas was flayed for talking dirty
Packwood went home for being too flirty
But Clinton was just a good ol'roisterer
With a pants load of love, if Hillary he could cloister her.
The tactic is simple it's really a pity
That repubs don't use it, it's so witty
The name of the game is just change the name
Of the crime that you face, that would others disgrace
As the name of the seed so golden and pure
Was changed to another,so that delicate ears need not endure
The name of a crime so hideous and vile.
With the press to assist them, the dems could just smile
And go on lying and spinning and eating granola
When a dem is involved its really not rape, its committing canola

I have to go deal with the BOE, so y'all stay out of trouble for a bit.
To: xsmommy
It's not on any more, but the entire collection is available on video. Cholerawife and choleraprincess watch it regularly along with "Friends."
To: CholeraJoe
i have never seen an episode of Friends in my life, never saw Beverly Hills 90210, nor Seinfeld either.
