Barry O just gave "a major speech" on income inequality and middle class opportunity.  I can't find the text.  Timmy, chop chop.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

That's a lot of sturm and drang for a speech that ends up proposing more spending on education, infrastructure, and R&D.  :huh:

The European crisis has hit Metallica hard. They have to postpone their European touring schedule because they can't sell enough tickets to fill the venues. It's all due to the sovereign debt crisis. Or the fact that they are no longer a good band.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017
