That's more or less what I thought it was originally, and why I was looking at it figure out if it was Holland or Honduras or Honeywell or something. Thus my surprise when I pulled up closer in order to see what it was. Nope. "H" - Hillary for President
And then, my mind wandering in the heat, I wondered if we were somehow going into the netherworld where all adults were to be addressed by their given names in an effort to be chummy, linking to a memory of my Mummy being asked by her friends what she wanted her 'grandchildren' to call her. Grandma? Nona? Gammy? She replied she would expect to be called Mrs. GWPDA....

The gay bomb project is facing a series of reverse engineered field testings. The plan is to attach this to the Star Wars boondoggl- star wars defense missile program(the initial version, episode four trillion).
We can then establish a hetero defense field to protect American lifestyles. It also can go into conventional design along our borders.
There is a double blind test for the project placed on Ken Mehlman's new White House capacity to keep him safe from others who could be a threat to his bodily fluids...

Alan Greenspan was paid a reported $8.5 million advance for his forthcoming book--second highest advance ever for a non-fiction book (Bill Clinton got $10 million).
Greenspan promised to deliver some "shocking surprises" in his 640-page memoir due out in September.
* Greenspan wrote all 640 pages in his bathtub.
* He deliberately obfuscated his remarks before congressional committees, calling it "Fedspeak." He didn’t want to "spook Wall Street".
* Greenspan panicked after 9-11 and slashed interest rates sharply in 2002, and cut rates time and time again, all the way down to 1%.
* He realized that he had overreacted to the crisis by cutting interest rates too much, and in 2005-06, he rapidly raised rates.
* But more importantly, he raised a warning flag. "The biggest surprise to me is that real interest rates all over the world are at near historical lows!"
* Ben Bernanke, the current Fed chairman, has set up a "crisis center" to anticipate potential global problems, including a currency crisis, a housing collapse, another terrorist attack, or a sharp rise in inflation.

"Aykroyd gained fame on the American late-night comedy show Saturday Night Live, where he was a writer and cast member for its first four seasons, from 1975 to 1979. Aykroyd brought a unique sensibility to the show, combining youth, unusual interests, talent as an impersonator and an almost lunatic intensity. (Eric Idle, of Monty Python, once said that Aykroyd's ability to write and act out characters flawlessly made him the only member of the SNL cast capable of having been a Python.)" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Aykroyd
