"...idiots, imbeciles, aliens, the insane and women..."
- A law standing in Texas until 1918 regulating who could not vote.
-Adolf Hitler's mother seriously considered having an abortion but was talked
out of it by her doctor.
-All US Presidents have worn glasses. Some just didn't like being seen wearing

- 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
- 8 have been arrested for shoplifting
- 21 are current defendants in lawsuits
- In 1998 alone, 84 were stopped for drunk driving
Can you guess which organization this is? Give up?

Somebody sent me this and I thought it was a fitting sign of the times.
Let's see if I understand how America works lately...
If a woman burns her thighs on the hot coffee she was holding in her lap while
driving, she blames the restaurant.
If your teen-age son kills himself, you blame the rock 'n' roll music or musician
he liked.
If you smoke three packs a day for 40 years and die of lungcancer, your family
blames the tobacco company.
If your daughter gets pregnant by the football captain you blame the school
for poor sex education.
If your neighbor crashes into a tree while driving home drunk,you blame the
bartender.
If your cousin gets AIDS because the needle he used to shoot heroin was dirty,
you blame the government or not providing clean ones.
If your grandchildren are brats without manners, you blame television.
If your friend is shot by a deranged madman, you blame the gun manufacturer.
And if a crazed person breaks into the cockpit and tries to kill the pilots
at 35,000 feet, and the passengers kill him instead,the mother of the deceased
blames the airline.
I must have lived too long to understand the world as it is anymore. So if
I die while my old, wrinkled ass is parked in front of this computer, I want
you to blame Bill Gates, OK?
A man who shoveled snow for an hour to clear a space for his car during a
blizzard in Chicago returned with his vehicle to find a woman had taken the
space. Understandably, he shot her dead.
