Summer Vacation

The time of year from June to August when you have a lot of weddings, college kids go home to their summer job and the kids go to summer camp. And for the dumber kids, they have to go to summer school.

Summer vacation was the best time of the year for me when I was a kid.

Milwaukee

The largest city in Wisconsin (580,000), situated on Lake Michigan, 90-miles north of its big brother of Chicago, Illinois. Although the city proper population has fallen, the metro area is actually more hip than places like St. Louis, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and Detroit, and is easily a smaller version of Chicago. It has a decent nightlife with its bars and stuff. The Milwaukee area is home to much beer production and Harley Davidsons, the most obnoxiuos monstrocity God created. Milwaukee--in many respects--is a very decent metro area of 1.6 million to live in, due to its proximity to Chicago and cheaper cost of living. It's even a good alternative to living in Chicago.

Milwaukee was the setting for Laverne and Shirley and Happy Days.

Milwaukee may not have the urban sophistication of New York, Boston, Phil, San Fran, Seattle and L.A., but it is decent and owes its decency to its proximity to Chicago. Milwaukee owes Chicago a whole lot of gratitude.

Watergate

The most infamous political scandal in US history that resulted in the resignation of President Richard Nixon and his VP Spiro Agnew in 1974. It centered around a burglery at the Watergate hotel in Washington by the president's operatives to dig up information on his political enemies. The scandal later used a political enemies hit list, firings in the executive branch, wiretapping, threats, the IRS, and intimidation directed toward Nixon's enemies. During Nixon's endictment he refused to surrender tapes to the FBI that he knew would have resulted in his prosecution. Once Nixon knew there were enough votes in the House to impeach him and enough in the Senate to convict him, he resigned in disgrace--the only President to do so. A few months afterward, the new President Gerald Ford gave him a total pardon, allowing him to keep retain his law license. For the rest of his life he continued to deny any involvement in the scandal--at least directly.

Watergate was one of the saddest chapters in American politics in the 20th century. If it weren't for the Watergate scandal, Nixon would go down in history as being a very good President or average at worst.

Atlanta

The Peachtree City. The Athens of the South. Hotlanta. These are just a few of the nicknames for Atlanta, the largest city in Georgia with about 450,000 in the city limits and and additional 4 million or so in the metro area and growing almost exponentially. It is now among the fastest growing metro areas in the U.S. It is quickly emerging as a major international city and amajor media center thanks to CNN and Ted Turner being in the city. It hosted the Summer Olympic in 1996 and is becoming a major cultural center. It has the CNN Center, the Georgia Aquarium which is the largest in the U.S., the Coca Cola Museum, and a place called underground Atlanta.

The Atlanta area is nice to live BUT I wouldnt want to live in the city proper. It is among the most crime-ridden cities in the country. Alpharetta or Sandy Springs is more appealing to me.

moron

90% of the American society. People are getting dumber and dumber. I am often amazed at the lack of common sense and rationality in our society. For example, I used to work as a checker during high school. A woman came up to the register and said "Do I pay for this here?" No. You pay for it in the isle you got it.

dumbass

A moron is something I see everyday. A passenger got on a plane I was on recently and said "Which way do I go?" Your'e up at the very front so that means you only go one way toward the back. Moron.
