Sometime in the Spring of 1996, Bill and Hillary
“slipped the chain” of Secret Service watchfulness, donned big sunglasses and baseball caps, rented a Chrysler Sebring convertible and took a Road Trip from DC to her family home in Wheaton, IL.

On the outskirts of Wheaton they needed fuel and pulled into a local service station. One with a real, live Attendant.

After putting the nozzle in the tank, the Attendant loks at them and says, “Well, Hillary Rodham, long time no see! How ya been?”

To Bubba’s amazement, she replies, “Real good Wally. And yourself?”

A few desultory exchanges occur and, as Wally walks to remove the nozzle Bubba asks: “Where do you know that guy from?”

She says, “I went to high school with Wally. In fact, he took me to my Senior Prom.”

Bill considers that for a moment and replies: “Well, you’re doing REAL good, aren’t you? He’s working in a gas station and you’re married to the President of the United States!”

She pokes a finger into the Presidential breastbone and informs him:

“Listen, Cracker. If I’d married HIM, HE’D be President of the United States!!!”

Perfectly quiet like you were inside a studio....I have a studio and i could make this shit up all day long .NO PROBLEM. digital studio's allow ANYONE with a sliver of a brain to do anything sound wise and that doesn't even take into account the newest technology of VOICE MORPHING that allows computers to hear 10 minutes of someone's speech pattern and can from then on imitate it from then on. Maybe OBL is dead and his voice is computer generated? we wouldn't be able to tell. Kinda freighting that now days you can't believe what you hear or see. technology has passed overtaken our ethics.

Being the father of a woman who is an engineer and a career military officer may color my thinking somewhat, but there it is. Still, one principle must always apply: EQUAL RIGHTS MEANS EQUAL WRONGS! Now, personally, I am tired of carrying all the load, so I am delighted for women to pick up some of the burden while I spend more time with Bonnevilles and Cutthroats, my rocking chair and a decent cigar on Sunday afternoons. Women are not, in my opinion, likely to screw it up any worse than men have... and some fresh thinking just might improve our governance.

He pays 125 euro's a month and every person by law must have it.. If you are unemployed they deduct it from your unemployment, which is a couple thousand euro's a month, so really if you are out of work you still can survive ok..Not rich but you can get by till you find another job. He say's the system works pretty good for them. We just need to revamp the whole mess we call health care and start all over and get it right. My Friend in the Netherlands has Universal Health care..
