The ABC Evening News ran a piece on the brothers for their "Person of the Week" segment this past Friday. Which caused their servers to be flooded and inaccessible. Thanks for the reminder. Funniest thing I've seen on the Web in several years. Too bad the clip must be viewed from their site. I'd love to have a copy I can view offline.

Yeah I sure wouldnt want to return to those comfortable times when my biggest concern was whether the prez lied about getting some on the side.

Between Bush and Arnold my life is MUCH more "interesting" on a daily basis now.

Well Kerry has been boasting about providing healthcare for every citizen in America. That screams economic nightmare because the cost will be enormous....... and guess who's going to pay for it.

Yes, healthcare costs a lot, but it costs a lot regardless of whether the government collects taxes to pay for it, or the people pay for it individually. There's also the fact that national healthcare systems such as the Canadian one provide the same services for 57% of the cost.

I'm not fond of the idea of paying healthcare and medication costs for the lazy people in the USA which just don't want to work or earn money decently. Government controlling our entire healthcare would do this.
Giving government even more power/control is not the answer.

If you don't have a moral problem with not providing health care to everyone, and hence allowing them to suffer and die from preventable causes, then there's not much I could ever say to convince you otherwise.
