His rights are our rights. Probably worth giving a shit about, IMO.

Spray is word sculpture. Or word accident, as the term is applied to babies, old folks, and dogs, depending on the OP.

Nice find!

The pubie. I hate this car, and it hates me back, but hate can be channeled to perform useful work:

Well, I reckon we'll see who was up to bat in Boston eventually. Until then we can continue bending the coat hanger over each other.

What do you have against turnips? It'll take time, but eventually, somebody will likely slip up and brag to the wrong party. People are terrible at keeping secrets.

This was an example of knee jerk law enforcement, not effective law enforcement. Such shotgunning is a classic waste of limited investigative resources - which makes the case move slower, not faster. National origin is just another form of racial profiling. If law enforcement had a credible tip to look out for a Saudi national, they might question some. There was no such tip, and tearing this persons apartment apart and terrorizing his roommate for 5 hours went a little beyond that. Investigators have plenty of evidence to wade through right now. Misguided crap like this only delays the process. It may be who we are, but its not who we should be. The details of the incident so far indicates a small group or loan wolf, and probably a domestic one, according to law enforcement. It's early, of course, but I'm going to take their lead on that rather than recycle the trainwreck that was our post 911 response.

I don't pray, but when I do, it's just a 'thanks', not a 'gimme'. Not really sure what your '8 year old yuppy' point is, Pink, but then, you're probably not either. You don't seem to get much these days. Bombing targets are sometimes deliberately chosen to make a statement. They can have meaning. Perhaps Boston was a carefully chosen demographic, perhaps the perps just wanted a big crowd, any crowd. I do hope it was an American - I really don't want to watch us invade another shithole for another 10 years, and a yank would be easier to catch. Regarding the perps race - well, that was telling, but not anything we didn't know already.

bombs in Boston on tax day targeting yuppies. Hmmm. Must be Al Qaeda.

it's in one finger joint (R and L) - so no imbalances (no muscles in there) possible, I don't think.

cold/hot + immobilize at night + vitamin I recommended by the Dr. Innernutz. Any experiences/treatments to share?

Heavy but consistently skiable. T shirt sun breaks late afternoon between squalls. Awesome clouds. Colleen kvetched until the last few hundred feet, when she started getting the hang of the conditions. She is, after all, taking the short course.

+ goggles n gloves. They're at the Steven's Pass lost and found.

A statement made by one detainee during a rare, unmonitored phone conversation with his attorney: Gitmo is killing me Our resident Freedom Fiterz might think about sticking to dead kids and Who Dat? videos. History is hard.

Holy Indefinite Detention, Batman!!!! That's one for the away team.

Looks to me like an ultra short design/build cycle.

Why it's a cone hone meetin'!

I just logged onto this contentious thread to make it more so. I couldn't get through 10 pages of '3 cups'. What a fawning, aggrandizing piece of shit. That alone is enough for me to hate Mort. K's books, on the other hand - great reads, every single one.

Timely thread! My Speed sucks as a ski pack!

NICE. I was fantasizing about hot waxing my skins somehow on the way up yesterday. Thanks for the link.

I'm also in the market. RE: the Revelation: I assume the shovel goes in the back pocket, no? Also - the velcro side straps. Any probs that them coming undone with skis+boots or no?

Never been to Pakistan, but the missing cash in Iraq was front page news for weeks. You may have missed that, however.

Globstopper's what I've been using, but it failed in these particular conditions.

Yup, finally gonna get that back hair taken care of. Oh, and I need some backup for the purple stuff - the snow had an affinity for it, yesterday. I used to use maxiglide. Any recommendations?

What Stewart said.
