Gee...the abuse (and every other documented measure of family dysfunction- teen pregs, divorce, etc.) is highly concentrated in the Bible Belt, where the practices of beating children and absolute male authority over the family, and early marriage are staunchly defended by evangelical fundamentalism. Must be lack of caseworkers.

Actually, the 'Founding Fathers' (Oh God, whoever coined that phrase was a propaganda genius) envisioned the landed elite as rulers, regardless of any minor quibbling between them about the length of that tenure. You might take the time to read some actual history rather than the frontier regions of the blogosphere, Boner. You'd be (unpleasantly) surprised at what kind of men the 'Founding Fathers' actually were.

My thoughts exactly, but perhaps they were tasty. This is an early example where fast and light not only won the day but allowed the victors to come home alive. Scott's journal excerpts are powerful, but my hat's off to Amundson. Apparently Amundson's crew found sled dog to be tasty, too.

You know, the one you keep on your nightstand next to the KY and your signed copy of 'Capitalism and Freedom'.

Also, there's not a state in the union with a pop. small enough for sample size variation to make any meaningful difference. I'd suggest reviewing your stats 101 text before posting next time.

I recommend "Scott of the Antarctic" (Huxley) for a more complete view of the man and his explorations. One should begin to worry any time "pony" appears on the equipment list.

It's so much more satisfying to torture them.

Very cool slide show

Our ancestors made stony tools so that some of us could become them.

I'm loughing.

Nope.

I was addressing somebody else, actually. Not really paying attention to your stuff.

Didn't vote for Palin = Moron. There's a reality TV show in there somewhere. Oh, wait...Jersey Shore.

If I decide not to stab myself in the eye with a fork, but wind up tripping over a butter knife later and get the fork in my eye anyway, was I 'a moron' for not stabbing myself in the first place? Look, I know GOP logic isn't the...er...most logical, but still. Seriously. Period. Cheers.

In every election many vote against the "other". We've covered this ground before. It's one thing to vote against the "other" - totally another to buy into bullshit sloganeering about "change". The most ironic part of it all are the morons here who referred to McCain as McSame - since BO has proven to be about as McSame as you can get. Door # 1 or Door # 2, eh? Well, I guess the world's a simpler place that way. Weren't all those morons still right about McSame, though? Does Obama's failures make that somehow not true? Do you actually do software for a living? Guess it must be some of the more grunt shit, cuz the folks I know in the biz get this stuff straight in about a nanosecond.

So, if everyone who voted for Obama saw him as the New Messiah, what did everyone who voted for Grumps and Sarah see them as? Enlightening a straw man requires only a match.

I have it on good authority that Kakster keeps ferrets.

This fuckin fucker is fucked.

I like little things hitting other little things.

Can ya hear the Googling? Can ya hear it?

Actually, I've already found the OWS agenda, the original one, anyway, which consists of single demand.

The Arabs said "Leave MFKR" (one specific person)...not plural. Makes it a bit clearer for all involved.

Rob is one quarter Fugawi.

I'm trying to find the political agenda for the Occupy Wall Street movement. So far, nothing on the website. I know it's leaderless, but...it might be helpful to have some specific demands that can be acted upon by somebody somewhere...at least at some point. The Arab Spring, in contrast, had one very specific demand: Leave, MFKR. Hence, it had specific goal that, once achieved, marked the end of the festivities.

Why don't we ask our resident Russians about that?
