henry kissinger

A former Secretary of State who, despite having won the Nobel Peace Prize -- a slap in the face to those who TRULY have spent their lives supporting human rights and working for the betterment of humankind -- should be sitting in an international prison as a war criminal. Among his many (mis)deeds were sabotaging the 1968 Paris Peace Talks (thus tacking on another five years of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam conflict), and his key role in orchestrating the 1973 coup in Chile which put murderous Pinochet into power.

He reportedly no longer travels abroad without first consulting his lawyers about the possibility of his being arrested.

Henry Kissinger is the antichrist.

Emmylou Harris

If Emmylou Harris' song "Boulder to Birmingham" doesn't make you cry, I suggest you see your physician to ensure your tearducts are working properly.

lucy

Nickname for the queen of television comedy, Lucille Ball who, along with her husband Desi Arnaz, virtually invented the concept of the sitcom. May also refer to any of Ball's hit TV shows: "I Love Lucy" (1951-60), "The Lucy Show" (1962-68), "Here's Lucy" (1968-74), or possibly her embarrasingly bad attemopt a comback in 1985, "Life With Lucy".

Lucy was always funnier when she was in black and white.

lucy

Sarcastic, malicious dark haired girl from the Peanuts comic strip and animated TV specials who was an absolute bitch to Charlie Brown. Frequently offered to hold a football for him to kick, but would always pull it away at the last second, resulting in his flying through the air and landing flat on his ass. Was madly in love with musical prodigy Schroeder, though he barely noticed her. Occasionally ran a psychiatric booth (with a copay of five cents), though Snoopy was her only patient.

Charlie Brown should have put anthrax in Lucy's Hawaiian Punch.

red states

States in which large segments of its citizens walk around with their heads up their asses, pulling them out only long enough to burn a cross or make a bigoted statement. Usually vote Republican, even though their populations are comprised largely of individuals living near or below the poverty line and thus unlikely to be favored by Republican tax and fiscal policies.

It would be wonderful if we could get from New York to California without having to cross through any red states.
