    I know that my Cox was patched a while ago and it wasn't a violation of the DMCA. Of course, now that it's 12 inches long, it violates plenty of young virgins. I don't know what Alan's problem is.

    The economy is fine. The stock market is in the crapper. And that's not Bush's fault. The NYSE was deflating when Bill Clit-on was in orafice.

    That, and Bush probably got better grades than you ever will. Went to a tougher school I'll be too.
