    Given the Bush twins' penchant for throwing up indoors, I can see why you might mistake them for pets.

    I'm dizzy from following the moving goalposts. ;)

    I was discussing substance, as I thought you were. Now, it turns out you were addressing politics. :D

    I just don't get how someone can cast a vote for the president based on their like or dislike of the candidates wife, which is subsequently based on a stupid comment by said spouse.

    When she married a U.S. citizen, twice.

    That doesn't get you automatic citizenship.

    But the question of her citizenship is irrelevant since she's not running for public office.

    Don't you just have to apply after that, and you get it automatically? That was my understanding.

    You get permanent residency automatically. Citizenship takes time. (3 years?)

    It was a stupid thing for her to say knowing the election is two weeks away and a dead heat. But what is even weirder is the anger conservatives have towards her.

    Imagine if Howard Dean was the Dem candidate. The vitriol conservatives would be spewing at Judith Steinberg for wanting to continue working rather than being a traditional first lady would be scary.

    That, and Jenna's annoying habit of humping your leg. ;)

    Someone earlier brought up Laura Bush's possible smoking. I don't know if she currently smokes, but she definitely did for some time. If you watch her talk, she has those vertical wrinkles over her lip. You only get those from years of drawing on a butt. It is usually more pronounced in women than men. Also, listen to her voice. There is a definite rasp to it.

    Oh well, I just did a Google on "Laura Bush smoking" and there is plenty out there that she definitely smoked for years, claimed to have quit, but is rumored to sneak a ****** when out of view.

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&contentId=A99788-2001May30&notFound=true

    "• Does Laura Bush sneak cigarettes? We've heard that the first lady, who admits to a smoking habit in her youth, is said to take a puff out of public view. When we put the question yesterday to Mrs. Bush's press secretary, Noelia Rodriguez, she told us: "I'm not aware of that. I can't confirm or deny this."

    At this site, there is some good "dope" on the smoking habits of the Bush twins, as well as Laura's former/current habit:

    Women!

    Can't live with them. Can't shoot them! :D
    Ever hear women talk about women? Oh, that bitch!
    Women killed the ERA movement and as reported here before, women killed chivalry.

    If you read anything about Peruvian politics, President Toledo's wife Elaine Karp, a Belgian-born Jewish American anthropologist causes much more trouble for him than THK ever could. I don't mind an evolution in the position of 1st Lady, but she is a loose cannon, even after adjusting for the more male chauvinistic society of Latino America.

    THK ain't half bad but if she is (and is on the record of saying this) as against having a husband who wants to be president, then why not stay out of the way and allow her husband to do his job? In fact, when asked if she liked that Kerry was running or something to that effect, she responded that if she would have known he had these goals, she would not have married him. :eek:

    She can't have it both ways.

    She reminds me of a "star" who likes to fight the paparazzi because she can't live a normal life. Then years later, she wonders why nobody pays attention to her as she does her own make-up before hitting the set of Hollywood Squares.

    I don't give a ******** if Laura Bush smokes. Why on earth would anyone give a ******** if Laura Bush smokes? As long as she's not running around hypocritically railing against the dangers of smoking, which I'm pretty sure she's not, it's none of our ********ing business.

    Jesus H.W. Christ, but this kind of thing annoys the living crap out of me.

    Automaticly is a tricky word.

    You automaticly gain the right to enter the process of temp/conditional residency, then after two years you can apply for perm residency, then if you apply for citizenship within the 90 days before you complete your three years of total residency, you need to pass the knowledge/language test and complete the process where you actually take the oath.

    It is a process and you need to do the work and pay the fees. If you don't apply for citizenship in those 90 days, you will have to wait until after you complete five years of total residency.

    The conditional residency is make sure people live together those two years and you need to be re-interviewed at that time, also in the 90 period before you complete two years.

    If your spouse lives outside the USA, they will not be allowed to come until the immigrant Visa is awarded, so add at least half a year before they could even come to the USA. The immigrant visa process is another set of fees and hoops to jump through!

    Well, I'd guess that certain Saudis have an easier time.

    Tell me you never people watch?

    There are even times, and I know this sounds really wierd but I can't be alone, when you see the most beautiful movie star and wonder...I wonder if they take dumps, like me? This is a way to humanize the person. Laura Bush probably even farts in bed. :D

    People watching, like at the mall or a sidewalk restaurant, is one thing. Pondering the bathroom habits of celebrities is something else entirely and no, I never do.

    Frankly, I'm sick of "celebrities" and I don't care about their lives or their marriages or their problems with constipation or flatulence or male pattern baldness or heroin or plastic surgery disasters. At least as it relates to my life, they aren't really people. They are a product. I don't know the person, no matter how many times I see them on E. If I respond to any of them emotionally, it's their work I'm responding to, not them as individuals.

    Someone asked me once if I was upset that Orlando Bloom is getting married (because it's widely known that I think that OB done up as Legolas is incredibly hot). Why on earth should I care if Orlando Bloom is getting married? I don't know him. He's not a real person in my life. It's not like Legolas was gonna show up at my front door and sweep me away and now, darn the luck, someone got to him first. Am I supposed to be jealous? Please.

    I liked this one.


    "Laura is revealed as a woman who enjoys a cocktail, smokes in private, doesn't share the political views of her conservative Republican husband and sometimes treats him as a mischievous kid.", "She smokes in private, drinks margaritas with Mexican food and wine at cocktail time and dinner and out of public view.", Globe (US), Jan. 20, '04, p. 16-17

    My kind of woman!

    But then they go off and say she and husband smoked weed and Laura was the go to girl for dime bags in college! :eek:

    I guess this is silly after all.

    Food for thought

    HEINZ PRODUCTS (from a California source)

    Check your Heinz bottles

    I checked and my bottle of Heinz catsup says "Product of Canada"

    Guess I'll be checking out all the Heinz products at the store!
    Shortly after reading the following e-mail content, I happened to look at the label of a jar of Heinz sandwich slice pickles.
    Yep...."Made in Mexico."

    Check some of your Heinz products Sen. John Kerry keeps talking about U.S. corporations leaving this country and setting up shop in foreign countries, taking thousands of jobs with ! them. He is right, because that has happened. However, he is trying to blame it on George W. Bush. As far as I know, Bush has not moved one factory out of this country
    because he is not the owner of a single factory. That cannot be
    said about Kerry and his wife, Teresa Heinz-Kerry. According to the Wall Street Journal, the Kerrys own 32 factories in Europe and 18 in Asia and the Pacific.

    In addition, their company, the Heinz Company, leases four
    factories in Europe and four in Asia. Also, they own 27 factories
    in North America, some
    of which are in Mexico and the Caribbean.

    I wonder how many hundreds of American workers lost their jobs when their plants relocated in foreign countries?

    I also wonder if the workers in Mexico and Asia are paid the same
    wages and benefits as workers in the United States. Of course
    they're not. However, Kerry demands that other companies that relocate should pay the
    same benefits they did in the U.S.

    Why does he not demand this of the Heinz Company, since he is
    married to the owner?

    If Kerry is elected, will he and his wife close all those foreign
    factories and bring all those jobs back to America?
    Of course they won't.

    They're making millions off that cheap labor. The labels don't lie, Does Kerry?

    My brother in law worked for Heinz in Pittsburgh. Heinz sold the factory to Del Monte an bought one overseas. He still works for Del Monte but many lost their jobs.

    Does THK have any sort of controlling interest in Heinz?
