Firstly, this is not covert, it's very public and overt. Secondly, it doesnt include incitement of discontent.

You saw the ruling on the WA primaries, no? We need to do this nationwide. The top two candidates regardless of political party affiliation should be able to run. We need to break up the two-party oligarchy in this country.

Biking is better aerobic training for alpine climbing, IMO. YMMV (pun intended)

Was a crime committed? If not, you can do nothing legally. Ethically, yeah it sucks ass.

OK, googled it... 5' 7". that is short for a president, and compared to a 6'5" giant, of course.

Never seen it. I have heard from multiple sources that it really sucks as a film... so I'm surprised by the recommendation here.

I don't know. This would probably be a bestseller in France too.

Good point. One thing I have to say though: if she showed a fake ID that said she was 18, and the ID looked legit, I say tough crap to her. Ditto for people who have fake ID's in bars and then try to sue because they get in an accident or end up in the hosipital with alcohol poisoning.

why is this not surprising...

If Hillary gets the nomination, she will be crushed in the general election - not because of her being a weak candidate, but because of the split in the Democratic side. I think there is a chance this could happen if the delegate count is still very close going into the convention. Dumb question here... Do you mean to say that if Clinton gets the nomination that she wouldn't win b/c some Dems would vote for McCain rather than her? Or is it due to the delegate count? I don't know the process as well as I should, so I don't know if delegate counts change, get transferred, or what. People are motivated by Obama. They are putting their hearts and souls and emotions into his campaign. If he somehow loses - especially if he has a majority of delegates and/or popular vote, but Hillary seals the deal via "superdelegates" or some other nefarious scenario, I think it will piss off enough people to cause low voter turnout on the D side. And yes, some independents will go to McCain rather than Billary. This is all Spray-Speculation of course.

Of course you're gonna say that. You're a fanatic anti-R.

Funny how little attention these accidents get in comparison to climbers on Hood/Rainier with the concomitant outrage vis a vis MLUs, rescue costs, etc.

I'm also transferring some funds from Nigeria today. Woot!

No, it's: STFU, nOOb!

It was not the main branch of Scouting, but Plast (http://www.plastusa.org/). Secondly, we are talking here about going backpacking with kids. There shouldn't need to be ground rules of the short like "no playing with knives". Period. I'm not gonna spell out a hundred things in advance with people that are common sense.

I like to Thai One On

guilt by association - nothing new.

It must be hilarious when you guys introduce yourselves in realspace as a cc.com'er: "what's your Avatar"? "jay bee" Ohh....

BTW I led a group of 30 or so scouts and parents up to Pilchuck a couple of years ago. No problems whatsoever. And we had no ground rules in advance.

The only rule I see is to take my own car, so if some kids/parents are being jackasses, I can hightail it out of there.
