Can I vote twice for ProFormell?

The rise of the Teabagger Palinites closely parallels the rise of the Know-Nothing (American) Party of the 1850s, particularly in its lack of organizational structure and coherent philosophy and its use of virulent nativism and fearmongering as its principal political tools. I suspect there will alw...

For the record, I never minded the Zs or the other idiosyncracies of Loca's writing style. Like I said before, it's just part of who she is, and you always know it's her talking. She's a good storyteller with a keen eye and rhythmic sense both in language and structure. No need for a corral, maybe j...

Yes, but I'll thank you to leave my private life out of this.

Since I heard a radio interview 2 weeks ago with some guy who wrote a book about Iggy, Lou and Bowie:

Look out honey, I'm using technology!

Worth it for the moustaches alone!

Home opener is April 30.

I thought your people were from the Land of Pleasant Living?

Beer truck hadn't yet arrived when I registered. I had to make do with a half-empty bottle of Kettle One I found in the kitchen cupboard.

At least the label said Kettle One.

Although now that I think about it, it might as well be, as it's pretty much my concluding thought on everything these days.

Better now?


ETA: Oh, and I see it's retroactive, too.

(I see you've already found the beer!)

Where can we see samples?

If you live on a damp, chilly, mold-encrusted island in the North Atlantic, yeah, I could see why you'd drink warm beer. Those of us who actually have summer know the joys of a cold brew on a hot sunny day.

Especially at the ball park.

The last time gasoline was averaging $1/US gal or less (on the US East Coast) was early 1999. On the West Coast, it never got below $1, and was hovering around $1.02-$1.03 in the same period.

So, I fear, did H.L. Mencken.

Yeah, I didn't see Strine there either.

Well then, what exactly is prayer? If you say it is supplication or petition for a deity's intercession, or it is praise or glorification of a deity -- which I think it is safe to say are the most commonly understood meanings -- then it is by definition a religious exercise. If you charcterize it as...

Carp? You sure it's not salmon?

My commute is just over 1 mile. Every day is dress-down day for me (usually "business casual"), except if I have to go to court or a dep. On those days I put on the law suit and take the car.

While I opersonally agree with that opinion, the courts are all over the board about prayer if no particular religion is favored/endorsed. As a legal matter I don't think that is accurate. The Supremes have been pretty clear that government action that appears to endorse religion over non-religion ...
