The line I'm waiting for a candidate to utter is:
"If we can find well in excess of a half trillion dollars for a bullshit war of choice, we can afford single payer universal health care."

3. Aaaand to forever take care of those less fortunate than ourselves. . .
Hub2 I'm so-o-o pleased to see you back here and hope and pray you're feeling far better.

We'd be totally lost without our stinky the clown spunk or all those scandalous photos' in the cooking forum.

Welcome home and do take care.

4. Glad you're up and about! Welcome back.
Quit smoking. I smoked for 20 years and quit 9 months ago. Things are good and now I can't imagine how I smoked that long. Cold turkey is best. 2 weeks out of your system and the misery of quitting will be over, trust me.

6. Hey H2S
"Can I bum a smoke?"

The only two responses that you should have to that request is as follows:

Eff you smart-ass!

or

Sorry man, I quit.

I quit myself this weekend when I read Sparklys posts about your setback.

Get well Stinky!

Here's a heart.
Both of ours need all the help they can get.

Take care!

8. That's the H2S we know and love, lol
Right on as usual!

Hey make sure you watch some concert videos or something in between watching the news, OK? Can't have you getting all worked up constantly for the next few weeks, and the news will do it to ya.

9. Welcome back, H2S. I mean "Stinky" (blame Sparkly for that one)
And yes, a great line there. I'd be happy if you had a picture of a clown who looked less stressed out, tho. :)

12. Does Sparkly know you're posting already??
Tee-hee. Welcome home and welcome back H2S. I'm glad you're home and doing better. My hubby had a heart attack almost 2 years ago and we both quit smoking when that happened. I know I'll get in trouble for this, but try this for negotitating with Sparkly. Tell her you'll quit smoking and in return you get to keep watching teevee.

16. Even with the war we can afford it
It is the one item on the progressive agenda that requires NO EXTRA MONEY!
