When my family arrived in this country four months ago, we spoke no English and had no money in our pockets. Today, we own a nationwide chain of wheel-balancing centers. Where else but in America-- or possibly Canada-- could our family find such opportunity?
That's why, whenever I see the Stars and Stripes, I will always be reminded of that wonderful word: flag!

The future of wheel balancing is in China.

Now do the one where Lisa talks about Washington being built on a garbage dump, or something similar. "It stunk then, and it stinks now!" |

Cesspool on the Potomac:
The city of Washington was built on a stagnant swamp some 200 years ago, and very little has changed. It stank then, and it stinks now! Only today, it is the fetid stench of corruption that hangs in the air!
Who did I see taking a bribe but the "Honorable'' Bob Arnold! Don't worry, Congressman, I'm sure you can buy all the votes you need with your dirty money! And this will be one nation, under the dollar, with liberty and justice for none...

It helps to have the DVD right next to me.
My favorite is Nelson's speech on flag burning:
So burn that flag if you must! But before you do, you'd better burn a few other things! You'd better burn your shirt and your pants, too! Be sure to burn your TV and car! Oh yeah, and don't forget to burn your house!
Because none of those things would exist without six white stripes, seven red stripes, and a helluva lot of stars!!

Yeah, Nelson's ruled. And I love Homer's reaction: "Damn right!"

I love it when a politician wheels out "flag burning." It's like them saying to us, "Look! The Winged Victory of Samothrace!" And while we are focused on that, they sneak around to our backside and pick our pocket. Works every time!

No, seriously. 1.5 billion people x 4 tires = a whole lotta shakin' goin' on.
