Good Morning, riffraff!

Rummy was so funny yesterday on the news. The question was: (I'm paraphrasing) "Are we going to war with Iraq or not?"

His answer was: "Yes, we are going to war or not."

I almost fell off my chair.

[xsmommy]

i love that man to death!

Wow! That is so cool, Tiger.

Sushi Rules! You just need lats of beer, to comp for the mustard.

[xsmommy]

i was young in the 70s and always wore a bra. but no, i would not have imagined it.

[CholeraJoe]

Sushi - oh yeah. Squid, Octopus, tuna, sea urchin with a raw quail egg on top. Love it. I went to one sushi bar in Los Angeles and ended up being the only round-eye in the place. The chefs liked me and started pulling out stuff that was still wiggling.

[Slip18]

I never burned a bra, nor spit on a soldier. I have always been a conservative. I guess there's something inately wrong with me.

I didn't like the war in Viet Nam, though.
