Have you read about Denny Hastert's curious land deals?

one thing about when my date has bacon is I'm always excited about her giving me a rasher, but if you're mixing those 2 up, then I probably wouldn't want any of your bacon, which could really ruin things for me.

Tucker Carlson's Triple Gainer

I remember in the early 90s it was quite a shock to some Republicans in Texas when the evangelicals took over the party. The prayer breakfast became a staple for the party, and a lot of people had trouble with the adjustment.

I mean, Jesus has always been important in Texas, but not in government and politics. I think that there were a lot of Republicans, especially in the cities, that were pretty pissed off that they got so easily ousted because they didn't know how to talk the Jesus talk.

I'm not sure I follow.

The ugliness I'm anticipating has to do with GOP Congressmen getting indicted in the Abramoff thing, etc., after the election.

I personally don't think that just joining up and making videos merits the death penalty --although this case is surely of the utmost importance to our national security.

I don't care if he is rehabilitated. He'll have the chance to practice his faith in prison with his Black Muslim brothers.

Any particular reason you're looking to pick a fight?

Oddly enough, I think this is the same AP reporter who wrote about Reid taking tickets to a Vegas fight (but forgot to mention that Reid subsequently voted against the interests of the group that gave him the tickets). What is it with this guy?
