"He complimented me on my bathroom downstairs and mentioned he liked the poster of Hemingway hung behind the toilet,"
"My wife groaned, but I was proud that my toilet had served such an historic purpose. ... "
"I am going to get a little rope like you see in museums and drape it in front of my bathroom door. Instead of 'George Washington Slept Here,' the sign will say, 'Bill Clinton Used This Toilet.'
"Don't tell my wife."
"The total cost for illegal immigrants to County taxpayers far exceeds $1 billion a year not including the millions of dollars for education,"

Score 13 of 50, something that you'd probably watch for 15 minutes on IFC and then move on. Wish I hadn't watched anything more than the first piece.
For hundreds of years in the whaling community off Cape Cod Massachusetts being dragged by a whale was the fastest form of transportation. Only problem was that the whale was the one that decided where you were going, at least till he tired out. Sperm whales were known to drag whaling boats up to 23 miles per hour.
Well, on this day 90 years ago, all that changed. On May 15, 1918 a ban was lifted by, allowing automobiles onto the island. The ban had been in place for 12 years in order to maintain the pristine rural environment of the island that was already becoming a tourist attraction.
Today the ferry cost for bringing your car to the island is over $300.00, a profitable deterrent.In a little more than a month we are going to spend some time there with family.
Back in August Georgia Tech by order of the Federal District Court repealed a policy on allowable speech. Two students filed suit with representation by Alliance Defense Fund, the complaint being that school rules outlawed speech considered to be intolerant.
In the case Sklar v. Clough Georgia Tech was putting the squeeze on hate speech....
Officials at Georgia Tech had been enforcing draconian speech codes that prohibited any kind of student speech they deemed to be ‘intolerant'.
The ruling of U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia prohibits the university from changing its new student speech policy without court approval for the next five years.
Now it looks like Tech did not agree with the spirit of the court's decision because last Wednesday the same court ruled additionally that provisions of the school’s “Safe Space” program discriminate against religion and are therefore unconstitutional.
Alliance Defense Fund Senior Counsel Nate Kellum said....
A public university should not be openly disparaging the beliefs of students who hold to a biblical view of homosexual behavior while endorsing other views. The university’s ‘Safe Space’ program had no business siding with certain religious beliefs while viciously attacking others. The program openly ridiculed the faith of many students while declaring that people in other religious groups have the ‘correct’ beliefs. The court was right to declare that portion of the program unconstitutional.
This is the second part of a federal civil rights lawsuit was filed against university officials on behalf of students Orit Sklar and Ruth Malhotra in March 2006. The ruling was again against the school administration, ending discriminatory provisions of the “Safe Space” training program, in which officials supported religious positions favoring homosexual behavior while disparaging those in opposition. The court ordered the removal of discriminatory religious information from the program’s training manual, finding that officials had “violated the Establishment Clause by favoring one religion over another in the state-associated Safe Space Program.”

It is courteous turn off cell phone and PDA' so that they will no interrupt meetings. At the White House meetings they take it a step further by asking members to leave such devices on a table outside of the meeting room. After a recent meeting between White House and Mexican diplomats, departing members found that the devices were gone. Hotel security included surveillance tapes and this captured the culprit Rafael Quintero Curiel stealing the equipment. Secret Service agents caught up with Quintero who had already reached the airport for a flight home. When confronted the thief initially denied taking the devices, then claimed the possession to be accidental, after confiscation Quintero asserted diplomatic immunity and boarded the plane home.
The news reached Mexico before the person, on arrival in Mexico City Quintero was asked to submit his resignation.
Mexican Embassy spokesman Ricardo Alday said...
Mr. Quintero will be responsible for explaining his actions to the American authorities conducting an investigation. The Mexican government deeply regrets this incident.
Whether the theft was for the purpose of financial gain or intelligence, being fired seems like a minor price to pay for the infraction. If it were me that grabbed the devices, jail would certainly be in my future. If the theft was for spying purposes, which I think unlikely for the devices would have been better protected, in days of old, an act punishable by hanging.
Knowing the current administration's penchant for weakness in dealing with the Mexican government, I expect that President Bush will issue Quintero a commendation for the safe return of the stolen items. After all we wouldn't want to ALIENATE our fine southern neighbors.
