Good point. No, it's not a good point. If you define marriage as "between a man and a woman" both gay marriage and polygamy are equally wrong. Personally I'd like to see the state *out* of religious marriage, and religion *out* of civil unions. A church should not need a "marriage license" to wed a couple (or whatever) and the state should only define the legal contract bound between individuals (or groups thereof).

+1 I've noticed it too.

well don't feel too bad. the weather this w/e is gonna suck ass, so the only ones suffering will be those in the icicle, not in the cubicle.

Really? Gonna go with the intellect argument here? You realize Stephen Hawking isn't the president right? Patty Murray makes W look like Albert Einstein.

Summary: climbing Rainier is too hard, dangerous and unpleasant. Stay home. (less people means more fun for the rest of us... )

Man, you are dense.

Her "handlers" prepared whatever statement/teleprompter she read from. but then how did those handlers know it would be a debacle??? they were rooting for failure. Or they studied Cheney's speech from 1995...... Mo Rocca should have studied Cheney's past jokes, 'cos Cheney smoked him last night.

Good question. I don't know. I'd be willing to guess however that whatever "rescue" RuMR needed his partner would be able to handle and vice versa.

Not really. I'm sure quite a few people don't bother to learn this stuff. And calling it rinky dink is insulting to those teaching the classes. Many of them with experience that may actually surpass your own (GASP). DON'TCHA THINK? Montana Dude: quit while you are behind. This is painful to watch. RuMR: why do you torment everyone so?

is this a fancier way of saying bullshit? i was not immediately making the connection between me and members of the artiodactyla order... no, it's just a fancier way of (jokingly) accusing you of having predilections similar to those of Dru and his countrymen.

especially in the lower GI-tract of even-toed ungulates of the Ovis genus.

you should have been a lawyer

the woman running for office doesn't look like she's gonna be in it much longer. damn, though, she can throw back a shot of whiskey!

"Vote for me and I'll give you sum free shit*" rocks. I wouldn't vote for Grampa McCain if he were the last politician on earth. Umm, I thought you didn't vote period.

how can you tell... with your head so far up your...

we spend more capita on students with worse results compared to most of the industrialized nations of the world. there's something real to complain about here.

thanks for the heads-up FF. have a nice weekend - and hope your weather is not as bad as forecast. (it was soooo nice last w/e).

You and me. 6 am this Sat. Tiger Mtn TH.

Fuck.

Is that before or after the turnout for Eldorado, do you know off hand?

I am curious how teachers fighting for more pay makes the school system worse or un-good? I work for an increase every year, and I do not see a connection between that and the organization I work for needing to be "fixed". Archie: please get back to work so you can help pay for my kid's school. The teachers need a pay increase next year, so if you could do some overtime, or moonlight, that would be great. Thanks.

Not quite. Many people who bitch about public schools have moved to a place where they think the schools are good. The problem is that overall public schools are not doing a good job, even though they could be if they were fixed. This will never happen due to political realities, greed, and our wonderful teacher unions.

Funny, I paid taxes which educated "other people's" kids before I had kids in school, and will be paying for "other people's" kids in just a few years. Ditto for medical care of others. And I'm sure I've kicked in more than my fair share over the years, since I've always paid income and payroll deduction taxes. And I'm coughing up at least $1000 a month for insurance, but hey, keep pretending that YOU pay for MY kids.
