Just remember that the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Not a chance taxing the rich could bring the budget into line.
It would be like trying to fill Lake Michigan with pebbles.
Wouldn't even be noticeable
Further, Kerry would likely create enough new government projects to consume any new tax revenues, and then some.

Nope, we're not going to have a balanced budget for another ten to 15 years, at best.
Truthfully, any way, "We're farked."

AS? This is a non-political thread, mostly. But it is a moderated thread. Jorj rules with a light hand and ovrlooks much in he name of fun. But if you push, he WILL ban you. Guaranteed. Run along now.
