"Le secret des grandes fortunes sans cause apparente est un crime oublié, parce qu’il a été proprement fait." -- Honoré de Balzac

"I look at the roster of teabagger politicians and check how many of them inherited their money."
I look at who <a href="http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20020913052026\/http:\/\/www.usteaparty.com\/" target="_blank"><i>created</i></a> the fucking Tea Party. (90% of brain-dead teabaggers don&#039;t know it, or don&#039;t want to know it.)

I always had a suspicion that Lanza not having guns might have helped, somehow. Can&#039;t really prove it; just a feeing I have.
Yeah . . . why can&#039;t we have one to play with every now and then? Just because we&#039;ll leave it dead and mangled on your doorstep?
