I bet there's an even better correlation between obesity rate and pants size. It must mean people get fatter to fill those bigger pants!

Orwell would be proud. "Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. No question, now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which." Animal Farm, George Orwell, 1946

Most of the women in my family live very long lives, and most of the men die early, probably to get away from the women. The largest factor to my demise according to the website: gender.

Another Prophet of Disaster Who says the ship is lost, Another Prophet of Disaster Leaving you to count the cost Taunting us with Visions, Afflicting us with fear, Predicting War for millions, In the hope that one appears. No point asking when it is, No point asking who's to go, No point asking what's the game, No point asking who's to blame, 'Cos if you're gonna die, if you're gonna die, 'Cos if you're gonna die, if you're gonna die, If you're gonna die, die with your boots on, If you're gonna try, just stick around, Gonna cry, just move along, If you're gonna die, if you're gonna die. In 13 the Beast is Rising, The Frenchman did surmise, Through earthquakes and starvation, The Warlord will arise, Terror, Death, Destruction, Pour from the Eastern sands, But the truth of all predictions, Is always in your hands. If you're gonna die, die with your boots on, If you're gonna try, just stick around, Gonna cry, just move along, If you're gonna die, if you're gonna die. Iron Maiden

Trapped in purgatory A lifeless object, alive Awaiting reprisal Death will be their acquisition The sky is turning red Return to power draws near Fall into me, the sky's crimson tears Abolish the rules made of stone Pierced from below, souls of my treacherous past Betrayed by many, now ornaments dripping above Awaiting the hour of reprisal Your time slips away Raining blood From a lacerated sky Bleeding its horror Creating my structure Now I shall reign in blood!

My dream is to not need a job.

You just descibed the entire western half of Texas. I put in a vote for the entire state of Kansas.

My vote goes to Sarasota.

I lived in Plano for 3 years. There's multiple reasons why I moved away from Texas, and you just named several.

He presided on the DC-area court of appeals (don't remember the circuit number) for 2 years. If Alito has the judicial philosophy to impartially interpret the Constitution, then I'll support him even if his personal beliefs are counter to mine. I supported John Roberts for this reason. Keep the idealogues out of the judiciary. I have not studied Alito's views yet, so I can't throw my support either way.
