You can get pretty close by reading it to your kids. BTW, I was in eighth grade the first time I read it too. My (very Catholic) mother worried that fantasy (I also played D&D) would lead to my personal and moral destruction. Many years later after she watched the movies she read the books and apologized profusely for her apprehension--she finally "got" it.

San Fran Nan sure took care of that "culture of corruption" didn't she?

What a sick joke.

I think getting to replace him will be VERY special.

If it comes to war will Obambi be smart enough and brave enough to help Columbia? Or will he buckle under as he has on so many other fronts? I am afraid I know the answer.

The only thing definitively, physically permanent is death. We cannot know today whether the change is permanent because the answer to that question lies in the future. To say today that something is (or isn't) permanent is to say that the future is known and that just ain't so.

Global warming is the biggest faith-based initiative since Islamic jihad.

You know, if a million people (or scientists) say something stupid, it is still stupid.

Won't somebody please think about the children!?!

OK, really now, isn't three years in prison probably more of a reward than a punishment for this guy?

You know, if it were a male horse this would be a non-issue.
