If you wanted to keep our troops at the safest possible level, why, when you were a vice presidential candidate, were you not in support of bringing them home immediately?

If she believed in a totally FREE market, she would never have accepted money from the state of Alaska to produce her reality show. Lousy socialist welfare queen.

Camembert is round, not square, when I'm if France, I'll eat it there. Mozzarella from the land of Tarantella. Feta from the land of Greece, gee, I'd love to munch a piece. Some might think England far better, to let us munch a hunk of cheddar. Holey cheese is really bliss, thank you for that all you Swiss. Gouda's yummy in my hands, thank you for that Netherlands. At my next wine & cheese party, I'll serve Danish Cream Havarti.

He may have shattered the framework of jazz in 1969, but the younger Miles Davis played his share of ballads. Witness: (link)
