Um, last time I checked nations are allowed to extend the rights enumerated in their constitutions through a variety of means. And, what do you know? All of them already have regarding the right to health care except us. I think it's called something like progress. Except Zambia, Cameroon, Somalia, and a host of other 3rd world nations that we now emulate with our health care system, of course.

Get real. We're the last civilized, and I use that term very loosely, nation on earth to allow health insurance companies to be for profit. It's a fundamental conflict of interest regarding a fundamental right to equal access to health care; something every other first world nation save our own decided was necessary years ago. In addition, America suffers from a two problems: Excessive litigation, (oh, we won't cover that), and a general and increasing syndrome of being pussies. "I'm hesitant to rock climb or (or other activity that actually makes life worth living) because some corporation will sanction me for doing so." Go to Australia, Europe, South Africa, or New Zealand and the difference in attitudes towards participating in activities that involve some risk is stark. We suck. The public option and eliminating for profit health insurance companies addresses both issues. Oh, and you suck corporate cock, too.

You suck at jokes

but not hunting, McDonalds hopping, drunk driving.... Fucking ridiculous. We need to eliminate private health insurance from this country. Are consumer protections so weak that the insured is required to inform their insurer when they take up a new sport to avoid denial of coverage? If not, just say no.

Insurance companies lie as a matter of course about all kinds of things to their customers...promising to actually cover things they have absolutely not intention of coming through one comes to mind. The guys at Honest Abe Cameras are more up front. Return the favor. The fact that they even ask that kind of question should be a crime. Thanks to the uniquely American love of sucking corporate cock, supported by our now much cherished conservative movement, it is not.

No public option!

Plus, NPR sucks ballz

can't turn radio dial too entertaining

Close

use bolts instead of nails

Anybody know of a generic for Lagavulin?

Send the dog home. You won't need him.

Fill a 55 gallon drum full of nails, then empty a 5 gallon propane tank into it. Blow your duck call, lighter in hand.

You just need a bigger gun

Movie reference people? No Googling. Anyone?

I am GOD in here.

then I shot 100 more.

The last time I killed a bird was in high school. I fired a twelve gauge into a flock of starlings. Six fluttered to the ground, where they lay, helpless tufts of dying dinosaur DNA, twitching. I cried and cried, then wrote a poem about it.

It was a traverse...of the spirit. I think I saw James Mason frozen at the bottom of that kettle.

Special kudos to Marc Leclerc's first post. I'm still laughing over that one.

I've got a hawt trucker's tan goin on right now.

How long would a kettle like the one shown typically last before it filled in? Is there anyway to tell whether or not the melt is still happening?

Yeah, well, unless somebody shows up with a samurai sword, that is. Count me in. I loves me some defoliation.

Just kidding on that. Actual diameter, with grip tape, is about 1.25", although 1.5" would probably work fine, too.
