Spain used the peseta, not the peso.

Government by urim and thummim--hilarious. You may as well flip a coin with its sides labeled "guilty" and "innocent", rather than having a jury and lawyers. Better yet, get a monkey and a typewriter, "consecrate" them, and let the monkey type the laws. That would be some serious trust in God.

That was Caspar Weinberger, not Weinberg.

There is a Texas phenomenon named Kinky Friedman who closes his act with the line, 'may the God of your choice bless you real good.' The question is not which God you believe in (within the Abrahamic tradition) but rather which guy(s) actually spoke for Him. Strangely, God cannot speak for Herself.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
How about we rename ISIS the Combined Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, thereby giving it the acronym CISSI?
