So I "Read" The DaVinci Code On Tape(MP3).....

Let's get it out in the open. I'm Catholic o.k. but this book was great! I don't want to give the story away if you have been living in a cave somewhere for the past 6 months, but....
Basically, Dan Brown researched for years a theory on what the holy grail actually is and why we haven't found it yet. He weaves this theory into a fictional story which has many compelling points. I suppose at the very core of it, I'm not doing Catholicism a service by recommending this book, but it's a great fictional book! It didn't change my belief's, but had me looking forward to my commute to and from work every day!

I Know Enron Is Passe But......

INVESTING FOR YOUR RETIREMENT:

If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it
would now be worth $49.00.

With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1,000.00.

With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 left.

But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of Beer one year ago, drank all
the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you
would have had $214.00.

Based on the above, current investment advice is to drink heavily and
recycle.

It's called the 401 Keg Plan

Road Rage Over Bush/Cheney Bumper Sticker

Come on folks, let's get over it already. Can you seriously imagine yourself getting so upset over who someone voted for a candidate that you'd want to run them off the road? People have officially lost their marbles. Sure, I voted for George Bush, but could you consider hating me for it? If you are on the other side of the aisle, you can question me, and not identify with any of the reasons I voted for him, but getting that angry is crazy. People in both parties, have stooped to low levels. Keying cars, removing lawn signs. Ugggg. Let's grow up and have some intelligent discourse.

My Family Tells Me I Have A Problem

They think that I am obsessed with Walt Disney World (Don't tell them, but they're right). Now, I guess I'm a different type of Disney addict. My house isn't full of Disney "stuff". My addiction is to the little things.

- I can listen to Disney park music all day long, everyday.
- We some times listen to it during dinner.
- My PDA has "Grim Grinning Ghosts" as my alarm reminder.
- I belong to a bulletin board group for other addicts like myself.
- I buy planning videos for years that we are not visiting WDW.
- I can watch old trip video tapes almost endlessly.
- My goal is to be able to travel to WDW at least once per year with my family.

I have issues. I know. See, I said it. There's a lot worse problems to have, isn't there?

The Cato Institute's Recommendation To Our Middle East Problems

Their document talks about Iraq and our approach to the middle east overall.I agree with most of this. Take a look and see what you think.

Understand The Filibuster

Senator Kennedy, Byrd and others in the Senate are going to filibuster the up or down vote on President Bush's judge nominations. Now understand, the filibuster is used to stall the debate of legislation. In the past, this consisted of a Senator taking the floor and speaking until there was no more time to debate and vote on a particular issue.

Keep in mind, if the filibuster is not used, that allows normal debate and voting on legislation. It does not mean instant approval or denial of said legislation.

So if the minority Senators chose not to filibuster, the only thing that would happen is that they would be able to vote up or down on the nominees. This same tactic was used to block civil rights legislation for many years. It wasn't right then, and it's not right now.
