    "I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil." - Alan Greenspan

    "They say that hard work never killed anybody ... but why take a chance?" - President Ronald W. Reagan

    "We're going out Marge. If we don't come back, avenge our deaths." - Homer Simpson


Bio

Since I was a kid, I've always favored dogs and more especially, underdogs. Career in the arts by way of biology/pharmaceuticals. Currently trying to make my way in the world by tying balloon animals, although the competition is fierce now that the official unemployment rate has topped 10%.
