- CHRIST! You've shown me the light here, Ted. Blame it
- on my upbringing. I agree wholeheartedly. We should concentrate
- on boosting the economy and worry about the deficit after every-
- thing's running right.
-
- In fact, I'm sending a letter to Clinton's e-mail address
- and his snail address, urging him to concentrate on his economic
- plan. I'll forward a copy to this newsgroup.
-
- Here's a joke which changed my life. Maybe you'll appreciate
- it...
-
-
- Poor man - " Preacher, preacher, I got really big problems! "
-
- Preacher - " What kind of problems? "
-
- Poor man - " I owe the bank $10,000 dollars! "
-
- Preacher - " Well, I don't see the problem here "
-
- Poor man - " But it's DUE TOMORROW! "
-
- Preacher - " Son, son. Don't worry. It's not YOU that has
- the problem. It's the bank! "
-
-
- I need to keep the gravy train going for another 3 or 4 years.
-
- I can't believe I'm worried about convincing anyone to fix
- it! It's not *me* that's got the problem. I don't have any
- children!
