LONDON (AP) - A set of Beatles lyrics handwritten by John Lennon on the back of a phone bill failed to sell at auction Wednesday.
The 17-line draft of "I'm Only Sleeping" had been expected to sell for at least $350,000, but failed to reach its reserve price at Christie's auction house. The song was featured on the band's 1966 album, "Revolver."

Plus, DeLay was indicted, too.
Was that political? Well, a crook's a crook, politics notwithstanding.

What a happy, happy day! It makes me want to sing my Protestant Work Ethic Song (all rights reserved):
"Wake up, you stupid s***head,
Put on a f***in' tie,
Jump in the g*****n squirrel-cage,
And work 'til the day you die...
And spread bulls**t all over the place,
And put on a happy face!"
plink...plink..plink....Bwahhhh
Try it during your next commute...it works!

Yes every once in a while the world turns as it should. Almost makes me a believer in humanity when that happens.
Dane send me the chords. We can make a hit out of that one.

Dane,
I believe that he had been involved in filming "How I Won the War" during this time so it is likely that he was somewhat conflicted as a result. Still it would be fun to see who he was calling.
