    U.S. to Demand Canadians' Passports

    I've read accounts of cross border incursions by Mexican army patrols too and their firing at our border patrol. They laid it off to the border being poorly marked. So far, from what I've seen, the minutemen are doing a good job of peacful surveylance and notifying INS when they spot illegals...

    US Postal Service Proposes 2 Cent Stamp Increase

    Judging by recent first class service, they are riding shetlands! Actually back then, runners were sent on foot from city to city. That is how we came up with the Marathon. When they carried odd packages, you had the triathelon! :whistle:

    Man Breaks Down at Trial, Says Jackson Groped Him

    Nah, I would guess that if he were convicted he will get a light sentence in a "club fed" like Martha did. Just my opinion. Tyson got the light sentence, but not in a country club.

    Would you do that?

    My thoughts exactly. But you have to admit he is having fun doing it! I did it the right way. In court. My ex hung herself with the judge. I didn't have to say much at all or even present the piles of pictures and affadavits I had. She ratted herself out. She got her debts, our 24 year old...

    Debts, Who wants them?

    Then on the other hand, a lot of rich people got that way by investing and not borrowing money at high interest rates. I don't fault the rich for people being poor or middle class. Wise spending, saving, and investing put many poor people in better conditions. Why blame them because their...
