#2 The Pharaohs of Egypt spent the entire GDP of a nation in seeking immortality. Now we all are little pharaohs. To paraphrase someone else - we had a choice of bankrupting future generations or death, we've chosen bankruptcy and will still die.

Nancy's succession of facelifts has assured her that part of her anatomy will outlive the process of natural decay. But I resist using the term "mummy" in association with her, given that her disposition seems inimical with a term which invokes notions of nurture and self sacrifice.

#5 Reid didn't promise to eliminate death, only the fear of it. Last time I checked, there are plenty of drugs which, given at the right time & in the right amounts, eliminate fear entirely. Some of these drugs then go on to cause death. I think he is referring to government-mandated euthanasia rather than government-supported immortality.

#6 I think Senator Reid was going for the soaring rhetoric rather than giving any thought to the meaning of the words whatsoever -- in the 'baffle them with bullshit' mode, since brilliance has never been his forte'.

#9 Moron of the Week? Why stop with one week. Americans are saddled with his "successes" [Sarc} for generations to come.
