Nine. I just spent some time with that Liam out there in California. That Erin that I mentioned, she is going to be the first lady President, because she was born on the 200th anniversary of this House, the U.S. Senate, the Supreme Court, and the Presidency. I am never going to let little Erin forget that. Madam Speaker, I have an article by one of my favorites, Paul Johnson, a great English writer and philosopher. Paul Johnson wrote that great book ``Modern Times.'' When people say, how can I catch up on the history of the last half century, I say read ``Modern Times.'' I say read his book ``Intellectuals'', in which he mentions the Marx and the Freud and all the fraudulent anti-Judeo-Christian garbage that has been fed our self-indulgent society. His title is ``Crime: The People Want Revenge.'' Revenge is not very Judeo-Christian, but he grabs your eye with that.
