  1. Vampirical Conservatotaliberaziism.
  2. Actually, you're a communist.
  3. Point of clarification: I'm not joking about a camp injury. I'm joking about Our Lord And Savior Bruschi. Which may anger the football gods as well...since Bruschi is, by definition, a Football Deity.
  4. Just so they show one of those amazing plays that only Bruchi can do, when he gets blocked low, falls to the ground, and crawls on his hands and knees into the backfield where he reaches the QB three seconds after he releases the ball. Because I just can't get enough of ESPN showing highlights of Bruschi unsuccessfully defending a play and not getting a sack or tackle.
  5. At this point...I have no more advice. None. Aside from "drink early and often." And maybe sue Citi for the extra incurred costs. Your bid was accepted May 10th...and Citi might have your mortgage application done three months later? That's all kinds of !@#$ed.
  6. Well...having a big iron spike driven through your wrist will tend to break it. But no worries...he'll be up and about in three days.
  7. Good advice for anyone, really...
  8. That would carry more weight if Newt weren't condemned to be a presidential hopeful for all eternity. Really, what are you trying to demonstrate? That Newt Gingrich is nuts? We've known that for ten years.
  9. You got taken. Biggest window unit in the world (which I think you probably have) isn't going to cool a whole house. Even if your house is only 1000 sq. ft. (which is about the footage 24k btu is fit for - a good rule of thumb is 24 btu per square foot, do the metric conversion yourself, Canada-boy), you won't get the air flow through the house to distribute the cool air. The problem isn't that he underestimated the AC you need. The problem is he took you for a ride and sold you a window unit when you need central air.
  10. Two tons of AC isn't cooling your room? You live in a warehouse or something?
  11. Actually, over Japan. The US at least maintained the image of "aiming" at industrial targets in Germany throughout the war (though with the technology of the day, aiming at anything larger than a city with a bomber at 25k feet was wishful thinking). In Japan, though...though the purpose was still to dislocate Japanese manufacturing, given the "cottage industry" nature of much of Japanese industry in 1945 (people were making aircraft parts in their homes, for example), Lemay changed the doctrine of the XX Bomber Command to night firebombing of the most flammable residential suburbs of Japanese cities.
  12. Probably with chemical weapons, too. Syria maintains healthy CW stocks to balance the strategic threat of Israel's nukes (and vice-versa). But I wouldn't necessarily trust the Syrians NOT to use chemical weapons if they were attacked, even if such an attack were not a strategic threat to their existence. Then watch the fun begin. Plus...Syria maintains significant air defenses (they have to, their air force would last about ninety seconds against the Israelis). Regardless of the performance of the Syrian air force, the Israelis would have a difficult time penetrating the Syrian SAM belts.
  13. The problem is, hearing about other people's generally sets a really poor tone...
  14. "Hello, central? Get me Alpine-5412. Hello? Central? <tap><tap><tap> Is this thing on?"
  15. If you don't mind a guy that subtracts two strokes from every hole.
  16. Very interesting analogy...particularly since what we see is very dependent on us putting Iraq under the microscope to begin with. If you ditch the microscope and take a macro view, though...nope, still pretty much !@#$ed.
  17. Because they're Africans. It's only bad when Europeans do it in places like Bosnia. Don't even get me started on Rwanda. "Genocide-like activities."
  18. My wife's actually rather well acquainted through with some of the government bigwigs (I think it was Dennis Hastert who called us last week asking if we wanted to adopt a kitten). They're really not all that interesting as people, I think. Only one I ever would have had dinner with was Ari Fleischer.
  19. I'm satisfied with any Catwoman that sucks, frankly...
  20. Good man. Choosing his responsibilities over a BS photo op.
  21. Actually, that's less "civil war" than it is "ethnic cleansing".
  22. Be warned, though: it's as campy as the series, if not more so. "Let's go, but, inconspicuously, through the window. We'll use our Batropes. Our job is finished."
  23. Plus, I'll bet you don't have seven hands or seven penises. "At once." Boy's five hands and six - hell, maybe even seven, he did buy a Fit -men too short
  24. Actually, he said "at once".
