KallehOh, we so agree with that!
I was thinking that I'd like us to take health care benefits away from all three branches of government, the executive, legislative and judicial branches. Let them fend for themselves as 40 million other do in the U.S. I am not too sure, for example, if Dick Cheney would be going forward with that heart transplant!
Let them see what many Americans experience, and I think their minds would change.

bethree5Hear, hear!
[wiki on 'hear, hear', late 18th c: The overuse of the phrase by an eager member of the House of Commons led Richard Brinsley Sheridan, in one speech, to deviate from his planned text and say "Where, oh where, shall we find a more foolish knave or a more knavish fool than this?". The lone MP said "hear, hear."]

When the US's most famous illegal alien, Cesar Milan's wife divorced him, was he
disIlusioned?

OK. I give up. What's the explanation? I have no idea who he is.
Nor had I. Wikipedia
to the rescue, though. He's a "dog whisperer", apparently.

bethree5One of my favorite television personalities. I love his series. Judging from the wiki report on the divorce settlement, he was not only disIlusioned but dispursed (dispenced?). However he was no longer an illegal alien at he time...

>sigh< guess I'm the only one who finds the Stitch family droll. Miss Stitch was 'an accident' according to her mom Ida Droptit. Cousin Popcorn the dot-com millionaire (imdb).. sister Cross (so fussy, so irritable)... Ember Oydery Stitch, related to the Knotts, has a large clan (it's whispered their progenitor was the fabled Native American, Running Stitch)..

<Proofreader>My knowledge of stitches is only sew-sew, thus it would prove unseamly were I to latch onto this thread. This is no fabrication and you shouldn't upbraid me if I try a different tack. Sorry if I twist and turn or imply I know more than I do. Do what you have to do to suture self.
Thank you, bethree5, for your comments from the
