What people seem not to understand, is that by having a disproportionate percentage of the population uninsured, not only are "we" (the insured population) paying for the inevitable costs of caring for the uninsured, but are paying much more when they show up at the ER with advanced diseases that could have been treated cheaper and yielded better outcomes had they had access to basic medical services to begin with. That's a big part of why the US pays more as percent GDP than any other country for poorer results. I'd like to see how the righties come up with the figures which they're trying to terrorize the Tea-tards with now which describes this a giant huge new tax burden on ordinary 'Muricans. I call BS. It's not like they aren't pathological liars already.

Classic spray is back! In-your-face personal attacks, Boner's ineffable logic, calling out the libtards as jackbooted thugs... You gotta love it.

Ryder Hesjedal!

Not that I really care, but from what I hear they DO suck......

I doubt it has anything to do with risk and is just about cutting "students" slack. Would you be happy if they offered a senior citizen discount too? :-) Nanny State!

And cat lovers.

You've checked the weather forecast?

Yes, I read that too. And the kid's dad was active in local SAR. Yikers.

Here is a link to the Seattle Mountain Rescue January '74 report. SMR January '74 No mention of fresh snow, but creaking, tottering seracs seem to be on the menu. As I suspected, WS, the owner of the suspicious sling was no other than Bill Summner. I wonder what kind of shennagins ol' Bill was up to.

Is Mick going to audition for the California Raisins anytime soon?

Just kidding, don't really give a rat's patooty.

I'm not too happy about the 2012 Mariners.

So true. And where will the next generation of 5.8 leader go to tick a 5.10a? Exit 38?

This kind of BS wouldn't be happening if Herman Cain were Prez.

We've gotta get some spraymasters on this ASAP! 'Bone.... JayB.... j_b..... KKK....Tvashie.....let's get on the ball guys! How we going to fix the deficit if you'all don't figure this out?

I think it's not so much a matter of footwear as "technique." When you put your foot on a hold and it sticks, relatively little polishing action occurs. Put a newb on something that they can't reasonably climb, and watch their feet scuffle, scrape, and slide around. That's how you buff granite. Anyone been on Flying Circus lately? Those hoser guided groups hang a TR on it all effing day long and let their clients thrutch themselves to exhaustion on something they have no good reason to be on. They've ground all that Squamish crystalline goodness down to snot. I've been wanting to rant about that for a while now.

Much as it surprises me, I have to halfway agree w/ Serenity here. (There's a first time for nearly everything, apparently.) Having a draft, one that young Georgie W or Darth Cheny types couldn't so easily duck out of would probably make the old white guys in DC less likely to unleash the dogs of war. It would certainly change the dynamic of opposition within the general population. One of the biggest reasons we saw tens of thousands of young people (and others) protesting the police action in Vietnam (not a "Declared War" BTW) was that most young men at the time knew that they stood a fair chance of being sent over. 'Kinda riled up the parents of said young men too. SSG Bales is a sad case. If he's guilty, it's a horrific crime, but I see him more as a tragic figure than a monster.

Gonna' make me sell these on eBay (?) bump.

Instead of telling me why my candidate is wrong....why dont you tell me who to vote for that will do something different than the status quo. Rick Santorum's your man then. He'll ban contraception, close down the public education system, and eliminate any science-based approach to environmental regulations.

Ron Paul effectively wants to euthanize the patient, and people like Bill and Kevin stand behind him saying, "at least it's different!" At least it might give Bill some more freakish, disturbing images to add to his collection.

Make me an offer bump.

The Canadians always ask about weapons when I'm entering the country. "I say, do you have any guns in the car?" I always thought it was 'cause they figured all us 'Muricans were a bit crazy, and likely armed. Maybe it's just me.

Ya'll heading to Alaska this year? Buy these, and don't loose any toes. [/img] [/img] Size medium. Tasteful and thermally efficient black on black color scheme. !00% excellent condition.
