Yeah, GINI data supports the OWS complaints in spades. I looked into that a few weeks ago. You can feel the history in there. Good stuff.

"But, I'm married! With children!" LOL

It's the inner, finger pointing librarian. Very J. Edgar-like. Dead giveaway. Repressed gay man fo sho.

Friendship and love are tough for some folks. Repression only makes things worse. You got one guy who's made a bunch of friends here, and one who hasn't. That's the way things go in the herd.

Just an observation. Any value judgement is yours, of course. Hell, I'd be testy about it too, after all these years.

"J. Edgar" is an ambiguous love story of repressed homosexuality. I'd recommend it highly for certain particular posters, even if the overall cinematic experience wasn't the best.

The unrequited kind, in this case.

You know I genuinely think you've got some intriguing and truly relevant points, FW.

Just saw "J. Edgar" last night. I'd give it a miss, the oldmanmakeup sucked, but the GF thought it alright.

hey here is a novel idea, why not just let the occupiers just stay there? Why is it so important that protests disburse? Taking the protesters away only feeds the message that they are making. Maybe I am wrong, but it seems like the protesters are picking parks and public areas and are a problem to very few people. Not like they are sitting down on a highway. -How would you feel if it were right wing Christians using the same tactics to restrict access to Planned Parenthood? The only difference between the above and the "Occupy" is a set of subjective value judgments. Wow. How many minutes a day do they let you out? The Kristians have been long term-blocking access to Planned Parenthood for decades. They've also added death threats, shootings, and bombings, with fatal results, to the party. Otherwise, JUST THE SAME, right? In addition, the Kristian goal is to deny equal rights to fully half the population based on a kooky idea that an embryo = a fully grown woman, which was invented by Nixon to get re-elected (yes, his administration recruited Falwell, and the rest is history, as they say. A phony idea invented to play partisan... ...much like the systemic wealth imbalance that has put one out of every 3 people in this country under or near the poverty line. Otherwise, SHEEEIT, I kin hardly reckon any difference at all.

Cain "Ron Pauled" his website - heavy on the Constitutional motif. No more mention of the ladies. Plenty on "Family and Religion" though - mostly re: "In God We Trust" - and other Burning Issues of The Day. Historic stuff, you can feel the history when you are there. Good stuff. _________________________

FW's in this to win this.

This could be an AM radio game-changer.

Wow. When did you decide to become such a tool?

FW could sprinkle in a little missplaced Kant to plant "smartest guy in the room" into the brain stems of his invertebrate audience, while Kevbone could rock back and forth, repeating "Ron Paul" over and over in Matt-Damon-voce.

FW and the Bone oughtta start a Truth Club. They could become the Gingrich/Perry of the conspiracy theory world.

So...we were about to put our 19 lb bird (smallest we could find the night before) in the oven, with T minus 5 hours to go until our 2 guests arrived, when... Discovery: "Hey, is this frozen?" Denial: "No. Couldn't be. It was fresh when we bought it...wasn't it?" Anger: "SHIT. How could it be frozen? You put it in the fridge, not the freezer, right?" Bargaining: "Maybe we can microwave it." Depression: "One of us might have go to QFC to get a roast or something" Acceptance: "I'll go, you clean the house." Things coulda been worse. My brother's turkey caught fire. It had to be put out with a fire extinguisher. Then there was the year the dog dragged the turkey off the counter and ate the ass end off of it....

Aw, an anti-soshulist Thanksgiving message. How sweet.

Also, when spiders evolved, there was more oxygen in the atmosphere than there is today. Maybe. I didn't check. Sounds good, anyway.

Reduce, Recycle, Re-use. I'm fixing a heating element on a 1941 Toastmaster toaster I picked up for a buck ninety nine last week. Airstream design, brown deco bakelite trim/handles. Asbestos insulation on the wires, mica sheet insulation. The kinda toaster that could burn your house down if you left it plugged in, or give you fibrosis even if you don't. The toast lever feels like your closing the door to a Packard. It always burns the toast, too (fix for that in process as well). A real man toaster.

They're they guys who came up with the bright idea of re-fighting the Vietnam War to bring the message to the world that America is BACK! Basically, they're the political equivalent of a post-got-dumped stalker.

Copper's less efficient than iron at transferring oxygen, but hey, evolution is kind of like Windows....

That's what happens when you shop the night before, you get stuck with what is essentially an ostrich carcass.

We have a 19 lb bird for 4 people. LOL.
