[Saint Phlip]

They'll steal anything not nailed down- and sometimes stuff that's bolted
down. You guys remember this one?

Only President Obama could double the stock market, cut the deficit by
2/3, bring
gas down under $3, get bin Laden, end 2 wars, bring unemployment down under
6%,  while fighting a government that is trying to destroy him, and still
be told he's failing as President.


Heat it up
Hit it hard
Repent as necessary.

Priorities:

It's the smith who makes the tools, not the tools which make the smith.

have read with pleasure. -Clarence Darrow
