"U R" = Ultra-Reprehensible

How strange, a motorcycle with a kick-stand on the seat.

There's word the Miami Herald knew of the electronic communiques near a year ago, but took no action for fear of the appearance of "gay-bashing". I haven't read the transcripts of the communications between the two parties, but again, "there's word", the sixteen-year-old page was playing along or baiting Foley. When I was sixteen, I hung out with various crowds: I was active in school government, I held a State record in competitive swimming, a school record for strike-outs pitching baseball, co-captain as the starting mid-fielder for the State championship soccer team, and youngest active member of the Detroit Foreign Film Association. It was in gatherings of the DFFA that I was informed numerous times by gay members that I could "make a million bucks" as a consort out in the Bay area and was offered expenses-paid travel and accomodations. I was tempted to make the "big switch" to homosexuality to advance my own wealth and social power. All this to say, I can readily see how a sixteen-year-old cavorting in the halls of power might play along with advances from those in power in order to advance his own cause. I make no excuse for Foley's behavior, and I believe he should be prosecuted if proven he's broken the law, but I sincerely doubt this is the first time a congressman or congresswoman has flirted or made hetero- or homosexual advances toward a comely page.

I'm sure there are distinct similarities

Wire is the shiz.

gee, factor in wind chill and that might make it unbearable.

yeah, I've got "The Singularity is Near"; pretty interesting reading.

"The new summit registers have quickly become very popular."

are you implying KK is hawkish? or that a certain part of his anatomy is a battleground?

What you gonna adorn yo'self wit dis year? My wife thinks I should do the Gandalf thing. Although, having to play a gig with all that garb could prove too hot and cumbersome. A good friend (the local brewery owner) went as a tampon last year: white cotton batting from chin to ankles, white knit hat with a long white cord attached to the top... ...and red slippers.

An irony appears in the "slippery slope getting steeper", or more slippery, as the presence of oil decreases.

That you know enough to recognize the similarities between the two is disturbing.

Nah, more a: "3 1/2 months have transpired since the event, it took place in Yemen (who we're trying to keep on civil terms), and just like the people who were in power when it happened, we aren't sure just what the fuck to do about it."

...and the rest of the world, seeing our self-imposed lack of liberty, will like us.
