"I agree, and I wish people would stop telling me that I am demanding cheap tomatoes and lettuce. If I can't afford something, I just won't buy it."
What gets to me is that no one bothers to tell you how much the cheap tomatoes and lettuce cost after you factor in the expenses of health care, school costs for the laborers kids etc that the taxpayers pick up!
The rest of the story is, I fell asleep at 9PM on the couch and when I woke up at midnight, I could not get back to sleep. Besides, the History Channel had a great show on very early military weapons. We could learn a few things from the Romans. [A sop to your Italian members, PTD.]

Did you TIVO This Week without David Brinkley?Jorge Snuffleupagus had a segment at the end. Bush was much funnier than Colbert.

Brian complains he doesn't get tomoatoe sin his garden until August. He'd be better off eating asparagus and peas from his garden during the Spring anyway.
Eating local food through the seasons is healthier. Just makes sense.

Colbert was completely obnoxious and not at all funny. Our President is able to laugh at himself and, I believe, is also able to laugh at a joke about him. But, Colbert's diatribe was sarcastic and hostile to the President....it was not in "good fun".
Some years ago, right after NAFTA passed, I went to the supermarket and they had tomatoes shipped in from Mexico. They were vine ripened and they were fabulous. A week later they were gone. American producers had complained and the shipments ended. Lots of those Mexicans could be growing and picking tomatoes in their own country but for actions like that.
"Agree .. but alot of parents don't strongly suggest their kids get a job .. or at least up my way they don't
Up my way they buy their kids cars and other things"
Makes you wonder if this isn't much of our problem today...my kids managed to have jobs in High School and College while still getting good grades! Also instilled in them the idea of a work ethic....what a concept!! Who knew!
Sorry for the hiccup.
Check out this link, above. It's a long read, but very interesting.

Catalog update, the sunglasses are in:
THANKS...very much...I've been looking for this!
Tony is on a "short vacation" and will report for duty on May 8th. Scott will be around for a couple of days, handing off the job, and then it's all Tony.
I don't know when he'll do his first presser.
OTOH, I never got an autographed photo and am wondering if I ever will.
I also wonder if there will be some way we can communicate with Tony.
Are you talking about the WH Correspondence Dinner??
My pleasure, pinz!
"AliVeritas has a depth and range of research that would make the NSA proud. Karl Rove should put her on the payroll."
Amen! I learn more from Ali's postings than I would in days of trying to watch the HBM! Thanks, Ali!
Your Welcome. I enjoyed it MUCH better without all the dorks.
He is ignorant... and that's being nice.
