My theory is that much of the population, and a majority of the government, is essentially operating on credit cards.

You are correct, sir.

Yep! Also, did you know that the Fed. Govt. could not operate without the rev. from Cig. tax alone

Then I, puff, puff, am clearly shouldering more than my fair share of the burden.

Do share some of your sources for this trivia. Sparky is intrigued.

Oh why NOT --

Martha: I swear to GOD George, if you even EXISTED I'd divorce you.

Honey: I dance like the wind.

Martha: Look, sweetheart, I can drink you under any goddamn table you want, so don't worry about me.

Honey: Oh, I don't know, a little brandy maybe. "Never mix, never worry!"
George: Martha? Rubbing alcohol for you?
Martha: Sure! "Never mix, never worry!"

[Martha has changed into an embarrassingly tight and revealing outfit]
George: Why Martha! Your Sunday chapel dress!

Martha: I hope that was an empty bottle, George! You can't afford to waste good liquor, not on YOUR salary!

George: All I said was that our son, the apple of our three eyes, Martha being a cyclops, our son is a beanbag, and you get testy!

Honey: They dance like they've danced before.
George: It's a familiar dance, monkey nipples, they both know it.

Martha: You make me puke.
George: That wasn't a very nice thing to say, Martha.

George: Martha, in my mind you're buried in cement right up to the neck. No, up to the nose, it's much quieter.

Nick: To you, everybody's a flop. Your husband's a flop, I'm a flop.
Martha: You're all flops. I am the Earth Mother, and you are all flops.

Nick: I'm tired, I've been drinking since nine o'clock, my wife is vomiting, there's been a lot of screaming going on around here!

George: So you get testy, naturally, don't worry about it! Anybody who comes here ends up getting testy, it's expected. Don't be upset.
Nick: I'm not upset.
George: You're testy.
Nick: Yes.

George: Martha is 108...years old. She weighs somewhat more than that.

Nick: Who did the painting?
George: Some Greek with a moustache that Martha attacked one night.

George: Martha, will you show her where we keep the, uh, euphemism?

George: Vanish!

Martha: I disgust me. You know, there's only been one man in my whole life who's ever made me happy. Do you know that?
[pause]
Martha: George, my husband ...George, who is out somewhere there in the dark, who is good to me - whom I revile, who can keep learning the games we play as quickly as I can change them. Who can make me happy and I do not wish to be happy. Yes, I do wish to be happy. George and Martha: Sad, sad, sad. Whom I will not forgive for having come to rest; for having seen me and having said: yes, this will do.

I read it somewhere awhile back. I cannot remember where.

But, here are two fairly cool sites:

http://www.rjrt.com/legal/taxQuickFacts.aspx

http://www.senate.michigan.gov/sfa/P...L/FEDERAL.html

Plus, almost all states have considered raising the cig. tax as a means of balancing their budgets.

I saw him on another show, too. So sure of himself. He pretty much said that autopsies (is that the correct plural spelling?) don't tell you anything because you can't figure out anything after the person's already dead. Really? Someone tell the people who write for C.S.I., okay?

And about her being blind, he said something along the lines of 'What, does that mean we should start killing all the blind people?'

And I loved it when he said that it's a tragedy that it's illegal to starve a dog but legal to starve a human to death.

I didn't know you had the stomach for Greta. I didn't know anyone did, for that matter. She drives me ****ing nuts by only talking out of one side of her mouth. And she's on Faux, so that's an automatic points deduction.

Hard to take, but somewhat easier to take than crazy Nancy Grace. Though I must admit that after Jackson was acquitted her visible disgust was amusing.

She used to be better than she is now. I like her enough though and the surgery was a def + for her. Also, she gives IMO good concise legal analysis in the sea of B.O's and Hannity's who spin it

I love that crazy wench. She has the intelligence of the chair I'm sitting in and more egg on her face than an IHOP chef, but she's incredibly entertaining. I loved when news of Jackson broke in November of '03 and she was going ape**** on Larry King. Her and Dian Dimond had me in hysterics.

Good God I watched him the other day and I thought I'd vomit. He just said the same senseless **** over and over again. Not that y'all don't already know that.
