"I was in my mother's belly as she sat in the waiting room of the abortionist's office. Dr. Sunshine was his code name. I was fifty feet from the drainpipe, and she saw a painting on the wall that reminded her of her mother, who had recently died. She took that as a sign to have the baby. That's what I call luck." -- from an Esquire "What I've Learned" piece by George Carlin, edited/reported by Larry Getlen and posted (or re-posted) on 6.23.08.

Thanks for sharing kidkosmic and UnChien. Brilliant stuff, Carlin could really make you think - and I consider myself an environmentalist.

Cute, but I'd apply the label "zombie" to anyone who blindly tows a party line. The inanity of your original remark really had nothing to do with "Democrat" or "Republican."
