'They've a temper, some of them — particularly verbs: they're the proudest — adjectives you can do anything with, but not verbs — however, I can manage the whole lot of them! Impenetrability! That's what I say!' <br /><br />'Would you tell me please,' said Alice, 'what that means?' <br /><br />'Now you talk like a reasonable child,' said Humpty Dumpty, looking very much pleased. 'I meant by "impenetrability" that we've had enough of that subject, and it would be just as well if you'd mention what you mean to do next, as I suppose you don't mean to stop here all the rest of your life.' <br /><br />'That's a great deal to make one word mean,' Alice said in a thoughtful tone. <br /><br />'When I make a word do a lot of work like that,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'I always pay it extra.' <br /><br />'Oh!' said Alice. She was too much puzzled to make any other remark.<br /><br />The word "fair" means whatever anyone wants it to mean.

When he says it Romney should ask if it's fair to have a US President more worried about his golf handicap than the economy; if it's fair for the US to have a President who cares more about renewable energy than allowing more fossil fuels to lower prices and help unemployment. One could go on and on. Hopefully Romney uses this angle.

It would allow the IRS to seize peoples' passports and ban travel if they owe $50K or more in back taxes. Is this really true or more a rumor. If its true, its scary, and you can bet that given the incompetence of the IRS that tons of people will get wrongfully caught up in something like this.<br /><a href="http://www.greenworldbvi.com/about-socially-responsible-global-green-real-asset-investments" rel="nofollow">real asset investment</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12829375621188204129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-15873749380330747612012-04-23T14:35:44.805-07:002012-04-23T14:35:44.805-07:00A peaceful revolution to restore the American Repu...A peaceful revolution to restore the American Republic to its former glory?<br /><br />From your lips to God's ear.Ronbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02767498198886077632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-12131108548366580762012-04-23T14:12:34.062-07:002012-04-23T14:12:34.062-07:00Great article Alan.
