Via Political Realm:
New Mexico Republican Senator Pete Domenici has announced his retirement, ending speculation over his political future after being implicated in a Justice Department scandal earlier this year. The 75-year old veteran lawmaker becomes the fourth Republican to opt against re-election, joining Wayne Allard of Colorado, John Warner of Virginia, and Chuck Hagel of Nebraska. As with those open seats, New Mexico is sure to become a prime target for Democrats looking to build on their narrow majority.

Domenici suggested health concerns were the primary reason for his decision, revealing he has a form of dementia...
(read on...)
At the risk of sounding a little callous here, Senator (i.e. assuming you're not bullshitting the American public about the real reason for your retirement) - do you happen to know what scientific/medical horizon offers the most promise for battling (and possibly curing) degenerative brain diseases like the one you claim to be suffering from?

Stem cell research.

Unfortunately, you voted against federally-funded expansion of said research.

But hey, let's look on the bright side. At least you have full, socialized taxpayer-funded health care coverage to help you in your time of need...

The rest of us should be so lucky.

You've gotta actually be a Jew (and be married to one for the last twenty fucking years) to truly appeciate the attribute. ☺

Don't get me wrong, tho'. I'll be the first to admit that I'm genuinely blessed, i.e. if it weren't for the Madame, well...

Seriously.

Completely understood. In fact, the person who stood up for me regarding the new utilities company? A very heavily tattooed Jewish woman. Seriously. If she wasn't a heavy smoker (and some 2,000 miles away)...

Hats off to Henny Youngman:

My wife is an earth sign. I'm a water sign. Together we make mud.

My wife and I have the secret to making a marriage last. Two times a week, we go to a nice restaurant, a little wine, good food. She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays.

Someone stole all my credit cards, but I'm not reporting it. The thief spends less than my wife.

I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps finding her way back.

I asked my wife, "Where do you want to go for our anniversary?" She said, "Somewhere I have never been!" I told her, "How about the kitchen?"

My wife & I always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.

My wife will buy anything marked down. Last year she bought an escalator.

She has an electric blender, electric toaster, electric bread maker. Then she said, "There are too many gadgets, and no place to sit down! So what did I do? Bought her an electric chair.

My wife and I went back to the hotel where we spent our wedding night. Only this time, I stayed in the bathroom and cried.

My wife and I went to a hotel where we got a waterbed. She called it the Dead Sea.

My wife was at the beauty shop for two hours today.... and that was only for the estimate.

My wife got a mudpack face treatment and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off.

My wife ran after the garbage truck, yelling, "Am I too late for the garbage?" The garbage man says, "No, jump in!"

I'm still waiting for some multi-billionaire to say "fuck the federal government, here's some money for stem-cell research".

He's got the money, for sure... and he's anti-Bush enough that I'm a little surprised he hasn't done it already. Maybe he's convinced that a Democrat will win the election in 2008 and will sign legislation for federally funded stem-cell research.
