overspending

Here’s some stuff that I read in the Star Tribune:

American Debt

Average Household Debt: $19,400
(that includes credit cards, auto loans, and other consumer debt)
Average Household credit card debt: $8,700.
40% of households pay bills in full each month.
Subtract those who pay in full and the average credit card debt is $14,400.
The national savings rate is 0.2%.
Most debt is due to overspending.

Has anybody read the Left Behind series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins? I started to read the first book in college but I got pissed off and quit. Jesus comes to earth for the second time and starts killing infidels.

"No Christ, please don't kill me."

"Die infidel. Die and go to hell where there will be much anguish and gnashing of teeth and the stench of sulfur."

"Jesus Christ, why are you so angry."

"Go to hell, homo."

Hey, don’t be mad, it’s the truth.

In other news, Robert Service (great name) wrote “Stalin: A Biography,” which shows the more human side of Stalin.

Everybody is having a good time talking about airport searches for breast bombs. Just wait until a terrorist sticks a bomb in his anus and blows up a plane with his anal bomb. Let the searching begin.

By the way, I urinated all over the hood of a car in 2002. Besides, where in the Bible does it say not to do that.

I have evidence to the contrary, Bane. One eye witness was at the scene in 2004 and will swear under oath that a certain car wash was operating after hours.

i know it's a little like "i did not have sexual relations with that woman," but in my legal defense, it was the bumper, not the hood. however, i could man been distracted from details by the man walking briskly around the parking lot scenting multiple cars.
