bonnie and clyde? >> nobody left the notoriety more than that bonnie and clyde. they wanted to be famous to give the the of the stories written about them had no basis in reality and they were still pleased. the only thing they were good at and this was quite was stealing cars. they would steal a car every few days and they would abandon it, the police would find it and in the car they would always find the latest newspapers and true crime magazines with stories of their gang. they try to encourage the right perception of themselves. bonnie was applied to the coke appalled people thought she smoked cigars. clyde sent a threatening letter to the publisher of the fort worth star-telegram saying if you ever print another story that says that lie under will meet smokes cigars and i know where do we and your reporters live and the telegram until after the bodies were certified as did in the louisianan never printed another mention of bonnie with a cigar.

clyde on the independent line from detroit, michigan. caller: good morning to you. thank you for taking my call i watched -- the thing with this health care debate. i am an independent. i did not vote for obama but what little measures he was trying to get through -- i was for universal health care. i know he was able to get people like kucinich on board, more of the left-leaning democrat on board. but these tax provisions, i still feel the tax cuts were so unbalanced in this country. while my mom, who is a senior, would take the $260 graciously and can find a whole lot to do with it, it is just so much injustice in our tax system and i just really, really would like to see poor working class people start thinking about putting more pressure on democrats and republicans to make things more balanced. for example, with a high taxes and people losing their homes. tax the oil companies to fund a jobs bill would directorate profits. thank you for taking my call and let me comment. have a wonderful day. host: bill, democrats line. new mexico. caller: i have two comments.
