If A Tax Hike Makes It To

George Burns . . . The Only Man I Know Who Does Fool Mother Nature.

Today, We're Taking A Break From The Concerns And The Bustle Of The Work-a-day World. But We're Also Making A New Beginning... Let Us Renew Our Faith That As Free Men And Women We Still Have The Power To Better Our Lives, And Let Us Resolve To Face The Challenges Of The New Year Holding That Conviction Firmly In Our Hearts. That, After All, Is Our Greatest Strength And Our Greatest Gift As Americans.

There Is No Foundation Like The Rock Of Honesty And Fairness, And When You Begin To Build Your Life On That Rock, With The Cement Of The Faith In God That You Have, Then You Have A Real Start.
