Cheney is out and about blasting Obama and Bush is giving sophomoric motivational speeches at $4.95 a person. Why doesn't that surprise me?

Money Talks, Taliban Walks?

There is a well-known saying in Afghanistan: "You can rent an Afghan, but you can't buy him."

Lisa, I wish you the best, you truly are deserving. I love your sense of humor. Whatever motivates you? I sent you a little via paypal.

I hope your medical leave went well. Let us know.

Thanks so much for writing Jessie and Bob. And thank you for your support.

Hey, I'm just your everyday truth seeker with an odd sense of humor, that's my motivation.

During my CAT scan an English speaking recording came on and instructed me what to do. I liked that. My CAT scan appointment was at 8am, I was out at 9:30am and caught the bus back home at 12:30pm. Socialized medicine in action.

I'll find out all my test results on the 5th when I see my oncologist.
