retirement idea

street legal

join me in helping the Republicans end US involvement in war

I just submitted the following idea at http://republicanwhip.house.gov/YouCut/YourIdea.htm

Stop funding weapons of mass destruction and other weapons that kill humans. The US Government should not be in the business of taking lives overseas. This would save 100's of billions of dollars and allow most Americans to sleep better at night knowing they were not responsible for the death of people who have never set foot on the soil of the USA.

If enough of us submit the same idea, maybe they will feature it on their web site (yeah right)
Worth a shot - working with the enemy ;~}
Well, it made me feel better.

Feel free to submit any other billion dollar saving idea there.

He made his first big splash as a graduate student when he invented Verlinde Algebra and the Verlinde formula, which are important in string theory, the so-called theory of everything, which posits that the world is made of tiny wriggling strings.

why we cried when Jerry Garcia died

When Jerry Garcia died, he woke up and found himself on a stage on which a number of instruments were set up.
A door offstage opened and in walked Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Brian Jones, John Lennon, Otis Redding and Buddy Holly.

Each musician picked up his favorite instrument and began tuning up.

Jerry walked up to Jimi and said, "Man, so this is what heaven is like."

Jimi looked at him and said, "Heaven? You think this is heaven?"

At that moment, Karen Carpenter walked in, took her seat behind the drums, and called out,
"Okay guys, 'Close to You.' One, two, three, four!"
