an agrarian tall tale

He would have called it a LIE, but he wanted to stay alive.

[M-cubed]

[Red Badger]

...she learned about racism when she played soccer...

I guess that's why the balls are black & white...........

she is not fully in touch with reality

My dear friend,
In a country where 49.99% of the people allegedly voted for John Kerry, and Al Gore, "reality," is not a valid concept. A good candidate creates her own "reality."

It is a tribute to our system that Hillary, the child of a black, Jewish sharecropper family from Oak Park IL, could climb Mt. Everest with her namesake, attend Wellesley, marry the Governor of Arkansas, become First Lady, then a Senatrix, and now become a contender for President of The US!

Oy vey! Pass the chitlins and turn up Oprah.

BTW, I have not heard Hillary speaking Spanish, I would have thought that during those harsh years in the fields and vineyards, organizing with Cesar Chavez, she would have picked up at least a smattering of America's other language. ¿Ilaria, mi amor, que pasó?

So where was it, Mrs. Clinton, that you saw Elvis last week?

She is the first bilingual candidate - only she speaks southern.

I assume you mean that you are stunned (maybe stoned?).

No, I meant "I'm stuned". Never assume.

I find it surprising that you've been a member since Dec 11, 2004, and you've never run across that particular FReeperism. Its quite common. Did a moose bite your sister or something?

Check your beeber and make sure it is set to "Hugh." Seriesly.

“up from Mexico, through Texas, following the harvest, all the way up through Illinois and Michigan,”

Someone told me that the harvest generally moves from North to south as the weather cools. True, farmers?

[Kenny Bunk]

Thrusher, stuning the old beeber, and correct deployment of the tin (and other) foil chapeaux is something we really ought to handle for Neo on an outpatient basis.

As you doubtless recall, the first time this is tried at home can be quite dangerous to the inexperienced.

Is there any Federal Funding available for this vital service?
