What a great talent you are Karla. I'll cut calories elsewhere but when it comes to Coca Cola I want the real thing. The same goes for the guys in Washington but I'm beginning to wonder if there's a real one amongst them.

Clever, as always, Karla.

there was a young lady named Karla
who served diet Coke to her friends in the parla,
until that unhappy day, she sighed,
when a friend sipped his cola and died...
and rode up to heaven on a funicular-la

With apologies, gene.

You're right Karla and it's been this way much, much too long. I believe the government has viewed seniors as a burden and veterans as disposable commodities.
