    Hey, you're just not thinking Madison Ave enough. If we say it's 100% natural, but in actuality it's 20% preservatives, emulsifiers, stabilizers and artificial colors, you're still getting a 4/5 truth. That's way more truthiness than a half truth.

          This was a nod to his good friends in the Military Industrial Complex, who, in turn, supported him comfortably for the rest of his life, are still supporting Nancy, and are continually refurbishing his "Library" and reburnishing his image. Fear makes a lot of money for some folks.

                    That would be splitting an infinitive. It's actually more proper to say "...boldly to go where no one has gone before..."

                      Tea party is a whiney minority that has gotten more press than it deserved. The true middle class would include people of all political leanings.

                              Weed, in his day, was tobacco. He wrote "Three Men in a Boat." And it should be a K.
