5) "Nothing is more important in the face of a war than cutting taxes." –Tom DeLay, March 12, 2003 (Source)

7) "A woman can take care of the family. It takes a man to provide structure. To provide stability. Not that a woman can't provide stability, I'm not saying that... It does take a father, though." -Tom DeLay, in a radio interview, Feb. 10, 2004 (Source)

10) "I am not a federal employee. I am a constitutional officer. My job is the Constitution of the United States, I am not a government employee. I am in the Constitution." –Tom DeLay, in a CNN interview, Dec. 19, 1995 (Source)

I guess the difference between "Super Duper Power" and "Rogue State" is in the eye of the beholder.

#9 is the one that disturbs me most... what does he think the minimum wage is for, anyways?

Through his wisdom I now know that many of my friends and family in 1996 did not exist. I will check myself into a hospital immediately to get treatment for my delusions.

Totally unrelated to the topic at hand...although, I was proud to find out that even my conservative-leaning father thinks DeLay is head idiot...protein powder recommendations:
I'm using Biotest LowCarb Grow, buyable at www.t-nation.com , I've tried chocolate, vanilla and banana. All good, although the banana is more of a banana candy than actual banana flavor.
I've also greatly enjoyed Micell Edge by Iron Tek, I got the cafe mocha. http://www.advantagesupplements.com/irmicmil25.html
This one is easily findable, and you can probably buy it at whatever nutrition stores are around that aren't GNC, but the linked site seems to be cheapest. The Grow isn't so easy to find, you almost have to use that site.
I've only heard good things about Muscle Milk, but haven't tried it.
