      Hello Bob,              >BB>Later modified to "I owe, I owe, so it's off to work I go..."              >LL>Are you kiddin' me? When was the last time undocumented       >LL>workers ever owed anything to Uncle Sam?              BK>Do you have evidence Bob Breed is an illegal immigrant?              Paleface is all evidence needed.              BK>Are you going to turn him in?              Tonto like Paleface.              BK>Is there a reward?              Only for scalp.              >LL>We are becoming more and more like Mexico, with only two       >LL>groups of people - a handful of folks being the wealthy       >LL>class and a huge number of folks being the poverty class,       >LL>with no middle class at all. With that in mind, maybe we       >LL>should quit dreaming The American Dream and start dreaming              BK>Well... you got that right. That's pretty much the description       BK>of a third world country.              That's the way it was, for most Southerners, until recently.       And now Mexicans are invading, taking the jobs Southerners used       to do. But since those Mexicans have been here for so long,       they are no longer Mexicans. That is why there are so few       undocumented workers in Louisiana and other Southern states.       Which explains why Newt Gingrich promised never to send the       children of Mexicans back to Mexico. Or was that Rick Perry?              >LL>The Mexican Dream. Or is that too horrible a thought to       >LL>even contemplate?              BK>Yes.              I have a more horrible thought - Newt Gingrich as President       of the United States of America.              Do you know why that is perhaps the most horrible thought       imagineable? During a recent Republican debate, the candidates       were asked to describe themselves by using one word. Newt Gingrich       described himself as "cheerful." That is what gave himself away,       as to who he really is.              Newt Gingrich is a former history professor, having earned       his B.A. in history from Emory University in Atlanta (1965),       M.A. (1968) and Ph.D. (1971) from Tulane University in New       Orleans.              During the time period when Newt was studying for his M.A.       and Ph.D. at Tulane University, a certain student by the name       of John Kennedy O'Toole was attending Loyola University, which       is located almost right next to Tulane University.              John Kennedy O'Toole is famous for having written the novel       "The Confederacy of Dunces", for which he was posthumonously       awarded the Pulitzer Prize.              All of the characters in the novel are people O'Toole had       met or knew on campus. The main character in the novel is       Ignatius J. Reilly, who in real life is Newt Gingrich.              There is a statue in front of Loyola University.       It is supposedly a statue of St. Ignatius.       However, if you look really closely, you will       find that it is a statue of a young Newt Gingrich.              I found out about this some years ago when taking a class       in creative writing, the English professor (having taught at       Loyola University during that time) telling us about O'Toole       and his novel. The professor found it humorous that O'Toole       had turned him into a character, along with others he knew.              If you read the novel, it will remove all doubt.       The always cantankerous Newt Gingrich *is* Ignatius J. Reilly.              Can you say it now? President Ignatius J. Reilly. :)              --Lee                      * SLMR 2.1a * "I am the lizard king!
