Things that aren't allowed but would make life easier
You're also a victim of not having a supermodel girlfriend. To be independent, you need to at least have a job. Don't you think? One thing students do is go in together a rent a place. If you do need to stay with you parents, try to make lemonade of the situation. Help out with laundry, etc. as if you are working for the rent. I think the American's culture of stressing that kids leave the nest will need to be modified. Kids can be independent while living with their parents. Parents don't have to wait for kids to leave before changing the relationship between them. Doing this will also help if/when the parent becomes dependent on the child in later years.

Has the Republican party lost its collective mind?
Well, here's one from the Left. I don't think there's any island theory from the left feeding this though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNZczIgVXjg&feature=player_embedded#!

Political Humor
Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and George Washington are on a sinking ship. As the boat sinks, George Washington heroically shouts, "Save the women!" George W. Bush hysterically hollers, "Screw the women!" Bill Clinton asks excitedly, "Do we have time?"

Cool Facts
One is being built in Dubai and another is planned for Moscow. More interesting is the building will actually create power. I am skeptical of that claim, but at least there is the attempt to go green. http://www.inhabitat.com/2008/06/09/rotating-wind-powered-tower-to-begin-construction-in-dubai/

Liberals Proving Intelligence-Liberalism Connection (like conservatives proving god)
http://dericbownds.net/uploaded_images/Amodio.pdf and a blog http://neurocritic.blogspot.com/2007/09/david-amodio-responds.html I still see nothing about the age of the participants, but there were 36 liberals of varying degrees(as self-described) and only 7 conservatives. There seems to be a correlation, but does it mean anything?

The Official JOKES SECTION :)
Hey, I was thinking: Bush said he had political capital to spend and intended to spend it. Well, as with the taxpayer's capital, he has already spent it in his first year and is running a deficit!!
