Uh, excuse me all to hell, but---
why have today's Republicans turned on St. Ronnie?

They don't want to pay for unemployment benefits or Social Security or universal health care because these, without tax increases, would increase the national deficit. But, but----http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A26402-2004Jun8?language=printer DEFICITS DON'T MATTER!

I thought they worshipped this guy.

Or, was Cheney totally wrong?

If I didn't know these guys were Republicans, I'd say they were being hypocrites.

5. Beautifully put.
And there are ever so many people that love and believe in Santa who are well over the age of 60.
