Dru, I never realized just how little you swear until you do it.

Are we going to have dwarf tossing?

Oh, well, my bad. It's not really alpine being so close to the road.

When you think about it, there is almost nothing you could say that would inflame more passions than what he said. I don't think he was talking off the cuff. It baffles the mind how anyone could be so foolish. I can see how he might figure that 99% of blacks are anti-administration already, so what is there to lose, but bringing abortion into it is pissing off his own base.

Groundhog Day on Tumwater Buttress, Tumwater Canyon.

This iffy weather may work out in favor of newbies. I'm thinking I might not want to go too far from the road. Maybe I'll offer to take some new folks up some easy multipitch.

I haven't read the book but I've read many of his interviews and he really digs business. It's an interesting model.

Who was it once said, "give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."?

Fair warning, he won't talk much about climbing. This talk is about business.

Fairweather, did you also mention that over the same period (1980-2000) the prison population increased by four-fold?

Hey man, don't call it looting. It was an "unauthorized expropriation for personal use". I swear we need to start a "Euphemism Thread".

Political impedus? Political impedence? Political impetus? Political iambic pentameter? Quite different meanings.

Dru, I hate to tell you this but antibacterial means it kills bacteria, not that it kills viruses. The most common antibacterial ingredient is Triclosan. Triclosan has a semi-specific mechanism for bacteria. It being a phenolic compound, one would expect it to denature proteins too, but they only use it at a fairly low concentration.

Is that Glacier with his pants hiked halfway up his chest?

Ah, there it is: it's FEELINGS that matter, not reality. Of course demo-liberals will capitalize on these FEELINGS in their class-warfare politics. I'm so glad that you finally understand. Feelings are important. It's feelings that drive crime. Feelings are why we had a Watts Riot. Feelings are what determines social stability. Don't discount it.

I doubt he remembers what it was he was trying to say. It's spelled "entendre", by the way. Interestingly, "entender" is a word too.

Oh, if if only wishes were fishes...

I really liked your post. You totally hit the nail on the head and I couldn't have said it better. What it comes down to is A) it doesn't matter what the cause of the income disparity is. B) it doesn't matter if the poor are not worse off than they were. All that matters is the disparity itself and the PERCEIVED injustice.

Here's a more precise forecast. 14% chance of precip on Saturday.

Scalia certainly WAS an anomaly.

We don't need another cat thread. Go reread the existing one.

The name of Fejas creates a quick, analytical, and clever mind; you are creative, versatile, original, and independent. You have large ambitions, and it is difficult for you to be tolerant and understanding of those who desire less in life or who are more slow and methodical by nature. Patience is not your forte. You do, however, have leadership ability and would never be happy in a subservient position. You are ambitious and aggressive by nature. You would be happiest in positions where you are free to express individually and creatively and where opportunities are not restricted; you desire freedom, and do not tolerate being possessed by others. You appreciate change and travel, and the opportunity to meet and mix with others, and to influence them with your creative ideas.

Even though it pains me, I'll have to back up AlpineK on that sentiment. Quit whining and show up, dude!
