<p>Twas the night before elections</p>
<p>And all through the town</p>
<p>Tempers were flaring</p>
<p>Emotions all up and down!</p>
<br />
<p>I, in my bathrobe</p>
<p>With a cat in my lap</p>
<p>Had cut off the TV</p>
<p>Tired of political crap.</p>
<br />
<p>When all of a sudden</p>
<p>There arose such a noise</p>
<p>I peered out of my window</p>
<p>Saw Obama and his boys</p>
<br />
<p>They had come for my wallet</p>
<p>They wanted my pay</p>
<p>To give to the others</p>
<p>Who had not worked a day!</p>
<br />
<p>He snatched up my money</p>
<p>And quick as a wink</p>
<p>Jumped back on his bandwagon</p>
<p>As I gagged from the stink</p>
<br />
<p>He then rallied his henchmen</p>
<p>Who were pulling his cart</p>
<p>I could tell they were out</p>
<p>To tear my country apart!</p>
<br />
<p>' On Fannie, on Freddie,</p>
<p>On Biden and Ayers!</p>
<p>On Acorn, On Pelosi'</p>
<p>He screamed at the pairs!</p>
<br />
<p>They took off for his cause</p>
<p>And as he flew out of sight</p>
<p>I heard him laugh at the nation</p>
<p>Who wouldn't stand up and fight!</p>
<br />
<p>So I leave you to think</p>
<p>On this one final note-</p>
<p><strong>IF YOU DONT WANT SOCIALISM</strong></p>
<p><strong>GET OUT AND VOTE!!!! </strong></p>

&lt;p&gt;I, in my bathrobe&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With a cat in my lap&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Had cut off the TV&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tired of political crap.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When all of a sudden&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There arose such a noise&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I peered out of my window&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Saw Obama and his boys&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They had come for my wallet&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They wanted my pay&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To give to the others&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Who had not worked a day!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He snatched up my money&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And quick as a wink&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jumped back on his bandwagon&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As I gagged from the stink&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He then rallied his henchmen&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Who were pulling his cart&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I could tell they were out&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To tear my country apart!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;' On Fannie, on Freddie,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On Biden and Ayers!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On Acorn, On Pelosi'&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He screamed at the pairs!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They took off for his cause&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And as he flew out of sight&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I heard him laugh at the nation&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Who wouldn't stand up and fight!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So I leave you to think&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On this one final note-&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IF YOU DONT WANT SOCIALISM&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GET OUT AND VOTE!!!! &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</media:description>

'Of course, madam,' replied the sales clerk, 'exactly what type and color are you looking for?' The bride to be said: 'A long frilly white dress with a veil.' The sales clerk hesitated a bit, then said, 'Please don't take this the wrong way, but gowns of that nature are considered more appropriate for brides who are being married the first time - for those who are a bit more innocent, if you know what I mean? Perhaps ivory or sky blue would be nice?' 'Well,' replied the customer, a little peeved at the clerk's directness, 'I can assure you that a white gown would be quite appropriate. Believe it or not, despite all my marriages, I remain as innocent as a first-time bride. You see, my first husband was so excited about our wedding, he died as we were checking into our hotel. My second husband and I got into such a terrible fight in the limo on our way to our honeymoon that we had that wedding annulled immediately and never spoke to each other again.' What about your third husband?' asked the s ales clerk. 'That one was a Democrat,' said the woman, 'and every night for four years, he just sat on the edge of the bed and told me how good it was going to be, but nothing ever happened.' </span></p>						</td>

I have contacted </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">the Department of Homeland Security in an effort to determine the </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">process for becoming an illegal alien and they referred me to you.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">My primary reason for wishing to change my status from U.S. Citizen </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">to illegal alien stems from the bill which was recently passed by </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">the Senate and for which </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">you voted. If my understanding of this </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">bill's provisions is accurate, as an illegal alien who has been in the </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">United States for five years, all I need to do to become a citizen is </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">to pay a $2,000 fine and income taxes for three of the last five<br /></span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">years. I know a good deal when I see one and I am anxious to get the </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">process started before everyone figures it out.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Simply put, those of us who have been here legally have had to pay </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">taxes every year so I'm excited about the prospect of avoiding two y</span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">ears of taxes in return for paying a $2,000 fine. Is there any way </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">that I can apply to be illegal retroactively? This would yield an </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">excellent result for me and my family because we paid heavy taxes in </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">2004 and 2005. </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Additionally, as an illegal alien I could begin using the local </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">emergency room as my primary health care </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">provider. Once I have </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">stopped paying premiums for medical insurance, my accountant figures </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I could save almost $10,000 a year.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Another benefit in gaining illegal status would be that my daughter </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">would receive preferential treatment relative to her law school </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">applications, as well as 'in-state' tuition rates for many colleges </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">throughout the United States for my son.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Lastly, I understand that illegal status would relieve me of the </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">burden of renewing my driver's license and making those burdensome </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">car insurance premiums. This is very important to me given that I </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">still have college age children driving my car.</span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span></p>

I know a good deal when I see one and I am anxious to get the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;process started before everyone figures it out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;Simply put, those of us who have been here legally have had to pay &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;taxes every year so I'm excited about the prospect of avoiding two y&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;ears of taxes in return for paying a $2,000 fine. Is there any way &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;that I can apply to be illegal retroactively? This would yield an &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;excellent result for me and my family because we paid heavy taxes in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;2004 and 2005. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;Additionally, as an illegal alien I could begin using the local &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;emergency room as my primary health care &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;provider. Once I have &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;stopped paying premiums for medical insurance, my accountant figures &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;I could save almost $10,000 a year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;Another benefit in gaining illegal status would be that my daughter &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;would receive preferential treatment relative to her law school &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;applications, as well as 'in-state' tuition rates for many colleges &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;throughout the United States for my son.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;Lastly, I understand that illegal status would relieve me of the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;burden of renewing my driver's license and making those burdensome &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;car insurance premiums. This is very important to me given that I &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;still have college age children driving my car.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small; font-family: Courier New;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed 'special' food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being 'mishandled,' you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts: I don't care. </span><br /></div>

<div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled 'Koran' and other times 'Quran.' Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and-you guessed it-I don't care!! </span></div>
<span style="font-size: 10pt;"></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The only people worst than Muslim terrorists are the so called left wing Americans that worry about the rights of Muslims.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I know "not all Muslims are terrorists"&nbsp; but guess what "ALL TERRORISTS ARE MUSLIM!"</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Now all you left wing kids are going to start with the name calling.&nbsp; Well first of all I DO NOT CARE!&nbsp; </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">But if you want to fight for what you believe in then discuss facts and give your point.</span></div>

&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for chopping off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;I'll care when the cowardly so-called 'insurgents' in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-left: 9pt; margin-right: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-left: 9pt; margin-right: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide . &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-left: 9pt; margin-right: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-left: 9pt; margin-right: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-left: 9pt; margin-right: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-left: 9pt; margin-right: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-left: 9pt; margin-right: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-left: 9pt; margin-right: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college-hazing incident, rest assured: I don't care. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-left: 9pt; margin-right: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-left: 9pt; margin-right: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank: I don't care. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-left: 9pt; margin-right: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-left: 9pt; margin-right: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed 'special' food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being 'mishandled,' you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts: I don't care. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-left: 9pt; margin-right: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-left: 9pt; margin-right: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled 'Koran' and other times 'Quran.' Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and-you guessed it-I don't care!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;The only people worst than Muslim terrorists are the so called left wing Americans that worry about the rights of Muslims.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;I know &quot;not all Muslims are terrorists&quot;&amp;nbsp; but guess what &quot;ALL TERRORISTS ARE MUSLIM!&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;Now all you left wing kids are going to start with the name calling.&amp;nbsp; Well first of all I DO NOT CARE!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;But if you want to fight for what you believe in then discuss facts and give your point.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

<p>Actually this is just a place for my stuff, ya know? That's all, a little place for my stuff. That's all I want, that's all you need in life, is a little place for your stuff, ya know? I can see it on your table, everybody's got a little place for their stuff. This is my stuff, that's your stuff, that'll be his stuff over there.<br />That's all you need in life, a little place for your stuff. That's all your house is: a place to keep your stuff. If you didn't have so much stuff, you wouldn't need a house. You could just walk around all the time. A house is just a pile of stuff with a cover on it. You can see that when you're taking off in an airplane. You look down, you see everybody's got a little pile of stuff. All the little piles of stuff.</p>
<p>And when you leave your house, you gotta lock it up. Wouldn't want somebody to come by and take some of your stuff. They always take the good stuff. They never bother with that crap you're saving. All they want is the shiny stuff. That's what your house is, a place to keep your stuff while you go out and get...more stuff! Sometimes you gotta move, gotta get a bigger house. Why? No room for your stuff anymore.</p>
<p>Did you ever notice when you go to somebody else's house, you never quite feel a hundred percent at home? You know why? No room for your stuff. Somebody else's stuff is all over the goddamn place! And if you stay overnight, unexpectedly, they give you a little bedroom to sleep in. Bedroom they haven't used in about eleven years. Someone died in it, eleven years ago. And they haven't moved any of his stuff! Right next to the bed there's usually a dresser or a bureau of some kind, and there's NO ROOM for your stuff on it. Somebody else's s--- is on the dresser. Have you noticed that their stuff is s--- and your s--- is stuff? God! And you say, "Get that s--- offa there and let me put my stuff down!"</p>
<p>Sometimes you leave your house to go on vacation. And you gotta take some of your stuff with you. Gotta take about two big suitcases full of stuff, when you go on vacation. You gotta take a smaller version of your house. It's the second version of your stuff. And you're gonna fly all the way to Honolulu. Gonna go across the continent, across half an ocean to Honolulu. You get down to the hotel room in Honolulu and you open up your suitcase and you put away all your stuff. "Here's a place here, put a little bit of stuff there, put some stuff here, put some stuff--you put your stuff there, I'll put some stuff--here's another place for stuff, look at this, I'll put some stuff here..." And even though you're far away from home, you start to get used to it, you start to feel okay, because after all, you do have some of your stuff with you.</p>
<p>That's when your friend calls up from Maui, and says, "Hey, why don'tchya come over to Maui for the weekend and spend a couple of nights over here." Oh, no! Now what do I pack? Right, you've gotta pack an even SMALLER version of your stuff. The third version of your house. Just enough stuff to take to Maui for a coupla days. You get over to Maui--I mean you're really getting extended now, when you think about it. You got stuff ALL the way back on the mainland, you got stuff on another island, you got stuff on this island. I mean, supply lines are getting longer and harder to maintain.</p>
<p>You get over to your friend's house on Maui and he gives you a little place to sleep, a little bed right next to his windowsill or something. You put some of your stuff up there. You put your stuff up there. You got your Visine, you got your nail clippers, and you put everything up. It takes about an hour and a half, but after a while you finally feel okay, say, "All right, I got my nail clippers, I must be okay." That's when your friend says, "Aaaaay, I think tonight we'll go over the other side of the island, visit a pal of mine and maybe stay over." Aww, no. NOW what do you pack? Right--you gotta pack an even SMALLER version of your stuff. The fourth version of your house. Only the stuff you know you're gonna need. Money, keys, comb, wallet, lighter, hanky, pen, smokes, rubber and change. Well, only the stuff you HOPE you're gonna need.</p>

Phillip Randolph, organized the 1963 March&nbsp;by Dr. King on Washington. </span></span></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">The 1964 Civil Rights Act Roll Call Vote: In the House, only 64 percent of the Democrats, but 80 percent of the Republicans, voted for it. In the Senate, while only 68 percent of the Democrats endorsed the bill, 82 percent of the Republicans voted to enact it.<br /><br />Thaddeus Stevens, a Radical Republican that introduced legislation to give African Americans the so-called 40 acres and a mule and Democrats overwhelmingly voted against the bill.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">During the Senate debates on the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, it was revealed that members of the Democratic Party formed many terrorist organizations like the Ku Klux Klan to murder and intimidate African Americans voters. The Ku Klux Klan Act was a bill introduced by a Republican Congress to stop Klan Activities.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">History reveals that Democrats lynched, burned, mutilated and murdered thousands of blacks and completely destroyed entire towns and communities occupied by middle class Blacks, including Rosewood, Florida, the Greenwood District in Tulsa Oklahoma, and Wilmington, North Carolina to name a few.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">&nbsp;</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">History reveals that it was Abolitionists and Radical Republicans such as Henry L. Morehouse and General Oliver Howard that started many of the traditional Black colleges, while Democrats fought to keep them closed. Many of our traditional Black colleges are named after white Republicans.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">After exclusively giving the Democrats their votes for the past 25 years, the average African American cannot point to one piece of civil rights legislation sponsored solely by the Democratic Party that was specifically designed to eradicate the unique problems that African Americans face today.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">&nbsp;</span></span></span></p>

In the Senate, while only 68 percent of the Democrats endorsed the bill, 82 percent of the Republicans voted to enact it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thaddeus Stevens, a Radical Republican that introduced legislation to give African Americans the so-called 40 acres and a mule and Democrats overwhelmingly voted against the bill.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The Ku Klux Klan Act was a bill introduced by a Republican Congress to stop Klan Activities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

							<p>I just want to thank all of you for your educational emails over the past year. <br /><br />Thanks to you, I no longer open a public bathroom door without using a paper towel. <br /><br />I can't use the remote in a hotel room because I don't know what the last person was doing while flipping through the adult movie channels. <br /><br />I can't sit down on the hotel bedspread because I can only imagine what has happened on it since it was last washed. <br /><br />I can't enjoy lemon slices in my tea or on my seafood anymore because lemon peels have been found to contain all kinds of nasty germs including feces. <br /><br />I have trouble shaking hands with someone who has been driving because the number one pass-time while driving alone is picking your nose (Although cell phone usage may be taking the number one spot) <br /><br />Eating a Little Debbie sends me on a guilt trip because I can only imagine how many gallons of trans fats I have consumed over the years. <br /><br />I can't touch any woman's purse for fear she has placed it on the floor of a public bathroom. Yuck! <br /><br />I must send my special thanks to whoever sent me the one about poop in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet sponge with every envelope that needs sealing. <br /><br />Also, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason. <br /><br />I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl (Penny Brown) who is about to die in the hospital for the 1,387,258th time. <br /><br />I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program. <br /><br />I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me, and St. Theresa's novena has granted my every wish. <br /><br />I no longer eat KFC because their chickens are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers. <br /><br />I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day. <br /><br />Thanks to you, I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward an email to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes. <br /><br />Because of your concern I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains. <br /><br />I no longer can buy gasoline without taking someone along to watch the car so a serial killer won't crawl in my back seat when I'm pumping gas. <br /><br />I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr Pepper since the people who make these products are atheists who refuse to put 'Under God' on their cans. <br /><br />I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer. <br /><br />And thanks for letting me know I can't boil a cup of water in the microwave anymore because it will blow up in my face...disfiguring me for life. <br /><br />I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS. <br /><br />I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me. <br /><br />I no longer receive packages from UPS or FedEx since they are actually Al Qaeda in disguise. <br /><br />I no longer shop at Target since they are French and don't support our American troops or the Salvation Army. <br /><br />I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number for or which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore and Uzbekistan . <br /><br />I no longer buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I now have their recipe. <br /><br />Thanks to you, I can't use anyone's toilet but mine because a big brown African spider is lurking under the seat to cause me instant death when it bites my butt. <br /><br />And thanks to your great advice, I can't ever pick up $5.00 dropped in the parking lot because it probably was placed there by a sex molester waiting underneath my car to grab my leg. <br /><br />I can no longer drive my car because I can't buy gas from certain gas companies! <br /><br />If you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 70 minutes, a large dove with diarrhea will land on your head at 5:00 PM this afternoon and the fleas from 12 camels will infest your back, causing you to grow a hairy hump. I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbor's ex-mother-in-law's second husband's cousin's beautician... <br /><br />Have a wonderful day... <br /><br />Oh, by the way..... <br /><br />A German scientist from Argentina , after a lengthy study, has discovered that people with insufficient brain activity read their e-mail with their hand on the mouse. <br /><br />Don't bother taking it off now, it's too late.</p>						</td>

							<p>How quickly can you find out what is unusual about this paragraph? It looks so ordinary that you would think that nothing was wrong with it at all, and in fact, nothing is. But it is unusual. Why? If you study it and think about it you may find out, but I am not going to assist you in any way. You must do it without coaching. No doubt if you work at it for long, it will dawn on you. I don't know. Now, go to work and try your luck.</p>						</td>

							<p>At New York's Kennedy airport today, an individual, later discovered to be a public school teacher, was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a setsquare, a slide rule, and a calculator.</p>
<p>At a morning press conference, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-Gebra movement. He is being charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction.</p>
<p>"Al-gebra is a fearsome cult, "Gonzales said. They desire average solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a search of absolute value.</p>
<p>They use secret code names like 'x' and 'y' and refer to themselves as unknowns, but we have determined they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."</p>

							<p>Jehovas Witnesses - Answer the door naked and invite them in for a cocktail, they will avoid your house in the future.</p>
<p>Telemarketers - Ask them their name and start ranting about how you might be related.&nbsp; Then tell them they need to talk to your sister and leave the phone off the hook for 10 minutes.&nbsp; They will take youu off of their list.</p>
<p>People in line that take too long - Start mumbling about having to puke and that you are about to toss your cookies.&nbsp; They will move!</p>
<p>Door to Door Salesmen - Invite them in, but tell them they will have to join you in prayer over your piece of toast with the image of Jesus on it.</p>
<p>Aggraving kids that play in your yard - Ask their parents where the local newspaper office is so you place one of those convicted sex offender ad thingies.</p>
<p>The aggravating girl or guy that will not take no for an answer - Tell them you really want to get serious, but they will have to take these little pills the doctor gave you so they will not get those damn fever blisters like you get all the time.</p>
<p>Spam - Forward your other spam to them.</p>						</td>
