Taxes On....Suspend Tax Rules That....Accelerate The Tax
Write-Off For....Reduce Capital Gains Taxes For....Eliminate
Taxes On....', et cetera. So here's what I'd like to know. Given
the fact that the national debt of the U. S. now exceeds
$10 trillion and the budget deficit for the fiscal year just passed
was almost $500 billion, isn't talk of more tax cuts rather, shall

"I believe, Charlie, that the best of America is in small
towns that I get to visit, and in those wonderful little
pockets of what I call the real America, being
there with all of those hard working, very patri-
otic, um, very, um, pro-America areas of this
great nation. That's why I can hardly wait to enter
New York City, that hotbed of anti-Americanism,
and appear on Saturday Night Live. And, thanks

Students of body language are of two minds regarding
John McCain's propensity for sticking out his tongue.

Cindy's outfits.
