oliver cromwells body was actually dug up when charles the second returned to rule--his head was put on london bridge and stayed for years.

oh, and did i mention i had chili for dinner. yum yum.

Let's see...
I'll give Arizona the left leg, Florida the right one, Maine gets the right arm, and Washinton gets the left.
Good bye Dubbya, Dicky C, Rummy. More later.
Scatter you guys.
Bye!

I am hoping the Dems get control of both. They can then fry Bush and this will kill any chance of Hillary Clinton becoming president. This country will never give control of everything to one party, especially a liberal from San Francisco, and a President from liberal new york.
