No longer live there, will never go back there and HOPE a fate worse then Katrina will forever CHANGE the lanscape there. Wish I could CHANGE my name on here. HOPE someone will tell me how to. ---

Apparently, the two “guests” for her FOX debut show are denying that they have ever been contacted by FOX for an interview for this show, and have no idea what sort of material will be shown on the program. LL Cool J made them take down his material. ---

Lost my job selling no-interest loans to speculators in the Bush recession, but I landed a job interview with McDonalds in Riverside. I **HOPE** they don’t ask me to figure the **CHANGE** in my head. We didn’t have to do math at the mortgage company. ---

It’s always nice to be reminded that there are people out there WAAAAY more deluded than Sarah Palin fans. Pink unicorns and hippos wearing tutus will roam the halls of the White House before a Libertarian ever does as president. > [@Voyager](#): > > You don’t have to hope. You can head for Somalia and enjoy a truly libertarian society right now! Yeah, it’s weird. Libertarians and right-wingers want this country to be like Somalia (and India, where millions of poor live in shanty towns and scavenge mounds of garbage piles) but they never come right out and say so. ---
