Pulp Fiction is a masterpiece..... check out "Dusk to


Dawn" and "Kill Bill"

1& 2 as well!!!! You'll love them!

CM



Lisa will NOT love Kill Bill one or two....I thought two


was better

than one BTW....



No, I saw a review today. She said no Pulp fiction ,

either.
I guess it will be another 'romantic comedy'. Oh

Depends, Max. In days of yore captains would hold some

of their crews pay
while they went ashore, so that when they got back to

the ship they
wouldn't be broke.


(Good point, John.)

Never mind, Mooron. Go for the big refund.



Some people are not smart enough to save their own money.
So, I guess for them a big refund is a good thing.

But if you give them a refund, they won't save it so why give it back in the
first place?

It's safe with the government holding onto it.

Even better why don't they take what they want and just hold onto it until
one reaches retirement age. They can give it back interest free. For your

Mr. Crantz had an even better idea--the gummint could just keep each year's
refund until retirement age. Then folks like Mooron could have one hell of
a big refund then. Interest-free, of course. And if the gummint would
consider "retirement age" to be, oh, say, um, 94 . . .

We've seen the result of retirement investment accounts as opposed to

Do you know Goldwater also said:

"I haven't really got a first class brain"

His brilliance was that he relied on principles to guide him and was
remarkably consistent in applying them, especially in the world of politics.
Reagan, too, was guided by principles, also lacking "a first class brain".

Men with first class brains, such as Bill Clinton, John Kerry and Hillary
Clinton are completely devoid of consistent principles and lack the tools
necessary for true leadership. They rely on cunning to get them to the next
step.


Goldwater was the greatest. I have two autographed photos of him here at my
desk as well as other memorabilia. I even have a "Goldwater for President"
bumper sticker on my truck.

I wish another one like him would come along.


Upon receiving a can of "Goldwater" from an ardent supporter, he tasted it
and said:

"This tastes like ****. I wouldn't drink it with gin!"

It's nice that you're getting your money back, less interest of
course, but you probably shouldn't be bragging about it. Basically,
you didn't do the math right to begin with, thus giving your gov't a
free ride on your money... not exactly good accounting or particulary
smart unless that's what you intended. Since you said that you "just

Quayle was another victim of the liberal smear. His Senate colleagues, some
on the left side of the aisle, were known to praise him for being consistent
and true to his principles. He was a very poor speaker--hesitating,
mispronouncing words, using occasional words inappropriately--but he was a
pragmatic conservative who never wavered from his beliefs in order to please
anyone. It's tragic that a young man of principle should be discarded,
while the slick politician with no detectable principles pleases the

You're a good man. I owe you a few beers.

I like Dan Quayle and wished he ran for President, I would have easily
voted for him. When Clinton was elected, he actually said that if
Clinton would do what he said he would do, things wouldn't be so bad. To
actually think for himself and not toe party line shows he has guts.


Quayle was another victim of the liberal smear. His Senate colleagues,
some on the left side of the aisle, were known to praise him for being
consistent and true to his principles. He was a very poor
speaker--hesitating, mispronouncing words, using occasional words
inappropriately--but he was a pragmatic conservative who never wavered
from his beliefs in order to please anyone. It's tragic that a young man
of principle should be discarded, while the slick politician with no
detectable principles pleases the electorate sufficiently to be elected.
I guess we get what we deserve.

You don't owe me any beer, but I'd enjoy sitting down with you and
drinking a few.

Here's a toast to Dan Quayle.

It's funny, those most ill suited to be politicians are generally the best
fit to hold elected office.

Ever hear of Ron Paul of Texas? Even Joe has never heard of him.

Not before now, but I signed up. Looks like interesting reading.

We both liked that.

Great movie--especially the payoff scene. How refreshing

to see a character
do the right thing, as opposed to the politically correct

thing.

And there was even a sailing scene in it, although the
''sailor'' showed all the ineptness of a Boobspit.


As a sailor, I found that scene embarrassing.

The most embarrassing sailing scene ever was in that chick flick
"message in a bottle" (I think that's the title, trying to foreget
that movie). Guy is supposed to be a pro yet makes every mistake in
the book. At the end, wife is all teary eyed and I'm thinking who
wrote this pap.

Maybe we should grade all the movies with gratuitous sailing
scenes...like the Hunter in Bruce Willis' The Jackal...or the
Harrison Ford movie that featured JFK's daysailor? (can't remember
the name of the film...)

Nicholas Sparks, the resident author of New Bern, NC. He also wrote
Bridges of Madison County and other similar pap....

I forgot that one for my list of chick fliks. That boat was lovely, though,
wasn't it.
