		<description>&quot;Cubans interviewed on state-run media Friday said they would fight to the death against any invaders from the north...&quot;
What if we swung around and came at &#039;em from the Dominican, would they fight to the death then?  Y&#039;know, get them on a technicality, &quot;Hey, we came at you from the Southeast, you didn&#039;t say anything about fighting to the death against invaders from the Southeast&quot;.  It could work.

		<description>We will miss the girl. She was a wonderful friend. So many fond memories of her over the years. She was a part of our family too.

		<description>the problem is that the Democrats, Move-on, and liberal media, etc exploit Cindy Sheehan.  they USE her for their own political agenda - without caring that:
a)  she is a grieving mother
b)  she is a grieving mother who, because of her loss, seems mentally unstable
c)  she is actually behaving in a way that Casey Sheehan would be embarassed about and disapprove of.
shame of the left.  shame.  and i aqctually feel bad for Cindy Sheehan.

		<description>There&#039;s a BMW commercial (you have to sit through all of it to find out what it&#039;s for) in which couples are making out -- we&#039;re talking serious smooching here, not chaste pecks on the cheek -- and then the camera pans up on one couple and he&#039;s holding a BMW key over her head, like mistletoe. ... well yeah, for a Beamer, maybe ...

		<description>&quot;Most whores do not request diamonds in exchange for kisses. Indeed, kisses are the last things they are likely to offer, with or without diamonds. The analogy fails on all counts.&quot;
That&#039;s just silly.  The point isn&#039;t that someone is literally a hooker.  The point is an extreme materialism; jewelers and diamond companies selling the idea that love requires, at a minimum, the purchase of diamonds and the suggestion that such a purchase is actually equivalent to love. Further,  the concomitant creation of expectation in some women that love does, indeed, require expensive gifts of diamonds on a regular basis.  This may certainly be said to be whore-like.  You may disagree that there is anything wrong with such an expectation.  However, the analogy is quite clearly there.

		<description>The most important thing for me (and one I have pointed out to my wife) is that the diamond cartel has built an empire out of illusion. Diamonds rare? No. Diamonds valuable? False reality. If a diamond&#039;s value was related to its scarcity instead of its ingenious link to ultimate romance then I would have less problem overpaying for one. Give me (her) a nice ruby or emerald or something, anything that is valued on reality. K stands for &quot;kiss mine&quot; for carrying the water of the Africans and the Belgians and the New Yorkers.
