Billy was talking to his friend at the bar, and said: "I don't know what to get my wife for her birthday - she has everything - and besides, she can afford to buy anything she wants, so I'm stuck."

His friend Jim Jnr., said, "I have an idea! Why don't you make up a certificate saying she can have 60 minutes of great s*x, any way she wants it. She'll probably be thrilled."

Billy decided to take Jim's advice.

The next day at the bar, Jim said: "Well? Did you take my suggestion?"

"Yes, I did," Billy replied.

"Did she like it?" said Jim.

"Oh yes! She jumped up, thanked me, kissed me on the forehead and ran out the door, yelling: I'll be back in an hour!!"

I want to point out , i dont want any girlfiriend having to be subservient to me at all . The reason why i mentioned the Afgani woman on the cover of life magazine is there were post on what an exotic woman would look like . I repeat this has nothing to do with personalty or dominace or subservience but if you wanted to know what an exotic and beautiful woman looked like- look at that picture .

I dont pay attention to eyes that much but hers pierced my soul 15 to 20 years ago .

This clown puts an emergency center in the WTC AFTER the 1993 bombing, communications systems WERE NOT upgraded, even though Islamic terrrorists had made it known New York City was a target and needlessly cuased respiratory illnesses with a rushed clean up of the WTC site.

Guiliani is nothing but a dirtbag giving photo ops AFTER 9/11, shamelessly exploiting 3000 deaths for his benefit and to cover up his incompetence of allowing and causing death, illness and injury.

but here's hoping Guiliani is the Republican nominee, the record he runs on is the record which deserves to be attacked.

I have a relative who has been using my name, address and social security number to try to set up loans in my name to pay some debt that she owes. The bank got my phone number and told me about it. How can I report her? I already have a fraud alert on my credit report with the 3 reporting agencies. Is there anything else I can do?

I've had this point driven home to me an awful lot lately. I'm being totally serious asking this, btw. I can only judge things from my perspective of admittedly biased experience, so I'm curious what other's opinions are.

My husband & I split 11 months ago & have recently been talking about reconciliation. We've been going over our history & have been trying to get to the "friends" level. He's admitted he wasn't a great husband - emotionally abused me, cheated on me when we were trying to work things out, took me for granted when I was at home. He's alienated me from my friends by telling them lies & now they don't talk to me anymore.

This morning, I found out that he has recently struck up something with my former best friend. My 4 year old son was telling me about a sleep over his dad had with his auntie (he's always called her auntie because we were so close) under the same covers. I have evidence to back it up. She has recently left her husband. This is the ultimate betrayal. I'm already hurting over OUR break ups - both of my friend of 20 years & my 10 year marriage. I'm seriously considering telling her husband on Facebook b/c he's still trying to work things out with her. Am I bad?

Blue-State Employment Blues
As long as the Red states let Americans keep more of what they earn, jobs will unevenly flow their way.

By Greg Kaza


Bears and partisans are exuberant about the August employment report, which recorded a loss of 4,000 jobs in a labor market that employs 138 million. Employment, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, was “essentially unchanged,” with losses concentrated in the manufacturing (-46,000) and government (-28,000) sectors. This was no surprise: Manufacturing has contracted in August in eight of the last ten years, dating back to the Clinton era.

Employment is a broad economic indicator, and last Friday’s less-than-stellar report deserves attention. But another monthly BLS report on regional and state employment offers a view of the jobs market through an alternative lens. In particular, this report allows one to compare employment growth between the so-called Blue and Red states.

Political pundits identify 18 bona-fide Blue states, which backed Democrats Al Gore in 2000 and John Kerry in 2004, and 29 clear-cut Red states, which supported Republican President George W. Bush both times out. Blue states are said to be “liberal,” and Red states “conservative.” But there might be another reason to term certain states “blue”: weak employment growth in a period of expansion.

Total Blue-state employment growth has been only 3.3 percent during the current expansion, which began in November 2001, compared with the U.S. rate of 5.5 percent. Meanwhile, total Red-state employment growth has been 7.5 percent, more than double that of the Blue states.

In baseball terms, one might say the Blue team is hitting only 5-for-13 for a mere .277 average, while the Red team is slugging 18-for-29 for a league-leading .621.

Here’s a closer look at the stats:

Job growth has trailed the U.S. average in 13 Blue states. California, the largest Blue-state labor market, fell behind by the narrow margin of less than a half-percent, while growth has been slower in Rhode Island (5%), Minnesota (4.1%), Wisconsin (3.1%), New York (2.8%), New Jersey (2.7%), Pennsylvania (2.7%), Vermont (2.3%), Maine (2.1%), Connecticut (1.5%), Illinois (1.1%), Massachusetts (-0.2%), and Michigan (-5%). The job losses in Michigan and Massachusetts have been the most severe, falling below 2001 levels.

Regionally speaking, this blue-streak continues. The Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, and New England regions, all predominantly Blue, have trailed the U.S. jobs-growth average. The only Blue region to beat the average has been the West, fueled by above-average jobs gains in Hawaii (15.2%), Washington (9.5%), and Oregon (9%). Two other Blue states — Delaware (5.8%) and Maryland (6.1%) — also have bested the U.S. average.

Now for the Red team:

Of 29 certified Red states, a full 18 have topped the U.S. jobs-growth rate. And here an interesting trend appears: Red states with no income taxes — Nevada (25.7%), Wyoming (15.2%), Florida (13.9%), Alaska (10.2%), Texas (9.1%), South Dakota (8.3%), and Tennessee (5.5%) — have all witnessed above-average job growth.

Not surprisingly, three of four Red regions have led the U.S. in job growth: Red states in the West have expanded 15.9 percent followed by the Plains (7.7%) and the Southeast (7.5%). The only Red region to trail the U.S. jobs-growth average has been the Midwest (1%).

This trend is not new. It has merely been overlooked by the mainstream media. Labor is colorblind in the political context of Red and Blue states. And as long as the Red states let Americans keep more of what they earn, jobs will unevenly flow their way.
