"Sweet Child O' Mine"
She's got a smile that it seems to me Reminds me of childhood memories Where everything Was as fresh as the bright blue sky Now and then when I see her face She takes me away to that special place And if I stared too long I'd probably break down and cry
Sweet child o' mine Sweet love of mine

"Only Women Bleed"
Man's got his woman to take his seed He's got the power - oh She's got the need She spends her life through pleasing up her man She feeds him dinner or anything she can She cries alone at night too often He smokes and drinks and don't come home at all
Only women bleed Only women bleed Only women bleed
Man makes your hair gray He's your life's mistake All you're really lookin' for is an even break He lies right at you You know you hate this game He slaps you once in a while and you live and love in pain She cries alone at night too often He smokes and drinks and don't come home at all

Boss, to four of his employees: "I'm really sorry, but I'm going to have to let one of you go."
Black employee: "I'm a protected minority."
Female employee: "And I'm a woman."
Oldest employee: "Fire me, buster, and I'll hit you with an age discrimination suit so fast it'll make your head spin."
They all turn to look at the helpless young, white, male employee, who thinks a moment, then responds: "I think I might be gay..."

An executive was in quandary. He had to get rid of one of his staff. He had narrowed it down to one of two people, either Debra or Jack. It would be a hard decision to make, as they were both equally qualified and both did excellent work. He finally decided that in the morning whichever one used the water cooler first would have to go. Debra came in the next morning, hugely hung-over after partying all night. She went to the cooler to get some water to take a couple of aspirins and the executive approached her and said, "Debra, I've never done this before, but I have to lay you or Jack off."
Debra replied, "Could you please jack off? I have a terrible headache."

The ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel includes language about “easing passage for movement of people and goods through the crossings”. Gisha expresses hope that any new arrangement will take into consideration and respect the rights of Palestinians to travel between Gaza and the West Bank, subject only to individual security checks. Here are 10 facts about the connection between the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and Israel.

Every month, Israel allows about 4,000 entries by Palestinians from Gaza to the West Bank and Israel via the Erez crossing. By way of comparison, in September 2000, there were more than half a million entries.

The Gaza Strip and the West Bank were recognized as forming a single territorial unit in the Oslo Accords, signed by Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), with the United States and Russia serving as witnesses. International human rights law protects the right of Palestinian residents to travel inside the Palestinian territory and to choose their place of residence within this territory.

Palestinian residents of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank are registered in the population registry, which is administered by Israel. When a Palestinian child is born, whether in Gaza City or in Ramallah, the Palestinian Authority informs the Israeli army, which approves the issuing of new identification numbers.

Ever since Hamas took control of the Gaza Strip in June 2007, there have been two Palestinian governments – one in Ramallah in the West Bank and the other in Gaza. Coordination for the movement of people and goods between Gaza, Israel and the West Bank is carried out by the Ramallah government, which still employs staff in the Gaza Strip.

More than five million Palestinians live between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River. They have family connections in Israel, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Israel allows family visits between Gaza, Israel and the West Bank in exceptional humanitarian cases. Additionally, Israeli citizens who marry residents of the Gaza Strip are permitted to live with their spouses in Gaza. With few exceptions, Israel does not allow Gaza residents to unite with their spouses in Israel or in the West Bank.

In 1998, before students from Gaza were banned from studying in the West Bank, some 1,000 students from Gaza studied in universities in the West Bank, including in study programs not available in the Gaza Strip. Israel prevents students who are residents of Gaza from traveling to the West Bank in order to enroll in universities as part of the “separation policy” but, under some circumstances, permits the same individuals to travel for short-term training and seminars.

The name of the movement is derived from the Boston Tea Party of 1773, an iconic event in American history.Anti-tax protesters in the United States have often referred to the original Boston Tea Party for inspiration.References to the Boston Tea Party were part of Tax Day protests held throughout the 1990s and earlier.By 2001, a custom had developed among some conservative activists of mailing tea bags to legislators and other officials as a symbolic act.

The Tea Party movement is not easily defined, primarily because it comprises hundreds of groups at the grassroots level, of varying size, influence and priorities. It is highly factionalized, with no clear leadership or centralized structure. This is highlighted by the fact that it is not uncommon for different groups affiliating themselves with the movement to adopt disparate stances with respect to a given issue. Nonetheless, the generally consistent recourse to the Constitution across the movement with respect to various issues has helped facilitate scholarly examination of the movement.

While not uniformly so, the Tea Party movement tends to be anti-government, anti-spending, anti-Obama, anti-tax, nationalistic, in favor of strict immigration legislation and against compromise politics. Since the 2012 elections, many local Tea Party factions have shifted their focus to state nullification of the health care law, and protesting the United Nations The Tea Party is skeptical towards the courts, shows a commitment to individualism and takes an originalist view in constitutional interpretation. The Tea Party is opposed to the bailouts, stimulus packages, and has expressed an interest in repealing the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Amendments. It is also in favor of amending the Constitution to grant states the right to veto federal laws. It is known as the Repeal Amendment.

Contract from America
The Contract from America was the idea of Houston-based lawyer Ryan Hecker. He stated that he developed the concept of creating a grassroots call for reform prior to the April 15, 2009, Tax Day Tea Party rallies. To promote his idea, he launched a website, ContractFromAmerica.com, which encouraged people to offer possible planks for the contract. The top ten planks were decided by online voting at Hecker's website
