Yeah, I can. But I won't. I gave it careful consideration, and decided to not even indulge your lunacy this time around.

What age is he supposed to be before I'm allowed to pick on him?

You weren't even gone. You went to Argentina, and posted just as usual. What kind of loser does that?

I was kidding. Please tell me you are, too.

Sharpton should be ecstatic, nappy-headed ho that he is.

I tried...I just couldn't get a good handle to make a funny joke out of. I thought of going with your joke...but then, I was trying to be amusing, not totally bug-!@#$ insane.

So !@#$ing what? Stick to relevancies. Well, then, that would be kidnapping, wouldn't it?

Hey, Newt, remember when you did the same? Not that I dislike Newt all that much...but it is pretty ironic...

I'd call it a completely different situation. From all accounts, the Iranians entered Iraqi waters to detain the British sailors. At worst, there's a dispute as to exactly where the sailors were. There's no dispute that Iranians were detained in Iraq. Had US forces actually crossed the border into Iran and "detained" five Iranians...yeah, that would be kidnapping. Detaining them in Baghdad...not so much.

That actually makes the most sense of any tale I've heard so far. It's completely unsupported, of course - but then, so are most of the rest I've heard. And if you think about it, "Bush was pushing for indictments for political gain" is far more worrisome than "Bush was firing attorneys for political reasons".

Actually, I suspect Sawyer didn't have much choice in the matter. I'm sure she wasn't "made" to wear it...but I'm equally sure it wasn't "pretty please with sugar on top, respect our customs when you're here?" It was probably "We require, by Islamic law, women be covered. If you don't respect Islamic law...no story," and Sawyer chose the story and the scarf. And the head scarf isn't intended as something demeaning...not originally, at least. It's original intent was...well, rather complicated, actually. Too much so for this crowd, now that I think of it.

She's a member of the Buffalo Teachers Federation. This isn't exactly an example to engender pro-union feelings.

The kid's liability cover should cover EVERYTHING (depending on state laws, but I doubt CA's any less protective of car accident victims than VA). Your medical bills, therapy bills, lost income, cost to repair or replace the car. Everything. That's what liability coverage is for. You shouldn't be out a damned cent. Neither, for that matter, should your insurance company.

Yeah...can you see me at McHolcomb's? "D'you want fries with that?" "No, thank you..." "Why not? What kind of a moron are you?" I think I'm going for a service job more like, oh, I don't know, maybe pharmaceutical manufacturing...
