You think life is like a movie Where it all works out in the end I think life is like a desert Where does it go Where does it begin.

I found this category to be sorely lacking. As one who tends to be a cynic myself, I was dissapointed at the lack of straightforwardness, cruel truths and blunt. Surely someone has said something more cynical than THAT. Stray beyond the world of those more famous than yourself! Ask those who live the same life as you and be amazed at the cynics in your everyday world. With regrets, Alias

I have just finished watching a wonderful public television presentation on Humber H. Humphery sponsored by the University of Minnesota and National Public Radio. Obviously Hubert Humphrey was a dynamic political figure - arguably one of the greatest of the 20th century. What are your thoughts on the man? On his politics? On how politics is practiced today vs. in the Humphrey era 1946 - 1977?

I like to shove carrots and dill pickles up my ass and then eat 'em. I also shove frankfurters up my ass and then let my dog lick my butt. Sometimes I'll hide in a corner and rub creamed corn all over my genitals while sticking lima beans and cheese-whiz in my nose and humming the theme from "I Dream Of Jeannie". Bye, I love you ALL!

"The Man Who Sold the Moon" By Dennis Piszkiewicz Praeger Trade. Westport, Conn. 1998. LC 98-14481. ISBN 0-275-96217-2.

Perhaps no one in history has played the role of scientist as celebrity with as much skill--and as much deception--as WERNER VON BRAUN. America's leading rocket expert and most enthusiastic advocate of space travel, he had a closet full of secrets that would have shocked his colleagues and millions of admirers if they had been told during his lifetime. WERNER VON BRAUN:The Man Who Sold the Moon is the first critical biography of the young German aristocrat who created Hitler's most advanced terror weapon, the V-2 rocket, and who came to the U.S. under the Army's Project Paperclip to develop missiles as a central weapon of the Cold War. The book reveals that factions of the U.S. Army, in their zeal to have VON BRAUN's team of scientists working for American interests, covered up what they knew about his complicity in Nazi causes and abetted him in the perpetuation of the myth he carefully created about his past.

Declassified Army documents and war crime transcripts, as well as the discovery of Europe of Dora concentration camp survivors' accounts, and von Braun's published writings and personal papers, have enabled biographer Dennis Piszkiewicz to document von Braun's career more fully than any previous historian. The man who tirelessly promoted space travel, worked with NASA to collaborate with Walt Disney creating television programs and the Tomorrowland section of Disneyland, and put the first astronauts on the moon, was actually a member of the Nazi party, held a rank in the SS equivalent to that of Major, and was an accomplice in the use of slave labor from the Dora concentration camp to produce his V-2 rocket. When the Third Reich collapsed, von Braun unashamedly switched his allegiance to the victor, and adroitly distanced himself from his Nazi partners. By going on to promote NASA and "sell" the American people on his dreams of space exploration, he became th...

If I were to quote Mr. Glasgow in an article I'm writing, how would I describe him (ie: Mark Twain, American author; Will Rogers, American humorist; Helmut Kohl, German statesman; etc., etc.)?

I am not trying to be smart with this line of enquiry but I'd like to get to know what is it about men that women become most annoyed about. Being in my early twenties I continue to assume that I have cracked the female mentality. Unfortunately I cannot even come up with a sterotypical profile for a woman. So answer me, are all women so complicated or are there just a few simple common needs that men just never seem to pick up on.
