I'm not sure what you are trying to say there. Energy - sales of coal, oil & natural gas - has funded Russia's resurgence. Putin has worked hard to place control over energy in the hands of the state, both through market methods and by using the police to force others out of business (see Mikhail Khodorkovsky and other Oligarchs). Once he secured energy into the control of the state he's used that as a weapon - against Europe, the Ukraine, and Bylorussia. His economic blackmail of Bylorussia may result in his directly staying in power. So, if you believe fascism is the placement of power into the corporations, he's a fascist alright.

whats a true finn - drunk, solitary and cantankerous?

Actually, Hitler was man of the year.

Sheldon has yet to come to grips with the internal combustion engine. please, the retrogrouchs frown upon him as retrograde

Curious about this one. Could you elaborate? Do you mean the cars that are hanging behind a bike waiting for a safe place to pass? If so, WTF are the cars supposed to do? Take an alternate route? Just pull over and wait for bike to get out of the way? Go home, skip work? Perhaps plow right through, endangering/killing the biker? Or do you mean more specifically, cars that follow too closely for your comfort? I'm curious as well. One of the "I don't need lights" bicyclists insists on biking in the middle of the road.

Why are you singling out the Atheists? Huh? Why pick on them?! Are they that much worse than the Hindus, Muslims and yes, even a few jews, who give Christmas presents?

I've had that happen so many times at the Flagship store. I say Arc'teryx to the MILF, she says Patagonia. I say Petzl, she says Black Diamond. The stranger needs to give us a guide to outdoor MILF.

hope he's happy

I was hoping for pictures of the Baltoro

No, I don't. The change machine shuts down at midnight and I can't stock up enough coins to power the binoculars until they reopen at 8am

dear, you need to get out to Enumclaw more often. Would you please stop beating that dead horse? are you still worried the cops will find out about your equine love nest?

they may suck, but they don't suck me

Ironic headline on the "Bend Business Review": "Breaking Point Is Powdr Corp killing bill Healy's dream for Mt. Bachelor?" Interesting to note in the same article Bachy visits are up just 3% over 2001 and have actually fallen .77% on the 10 year time scale. Compared to a 14% increase over 2001 and 44% increase over 10 years for Meadows.

I want whatever she's smoking I thought you wanted pinks pole?

I've always thought a perfect epitaph for the life and death of one of those tools would be "hoodornament"

STOP THE LYING! STOP IT! JUST QUIT! WE ARE THE SOLE REASON ANYONE COMES TO CC.COM. OUR HUMOUR, WIT, WISDOM AND INSITE DRIVES JIHADS, PRODUCES VIRGIN BIRTH, AND SPLITS THE ATOM. PEOPLE CARE WHAT WE THINK. PEOPLE WANT TO JOIN IN OUR TOMFOOLERY

this is spray. spray. spray I tell you. there's more spray here than when micclitrop squirts.

I think delhi diarhea brown was a special run color....

Yeah, and all the god freaks are pretty much the same because they say "He's there" Oh - can someone explain to me why non-proselytzing religions were used as a counterexample? Hindus and Jews aren't going to spread the gospel on the mountain because they, as a rule, don't try and convert others.

"almost no"? not sure I'd agree. I noticed small slab behavior at several Stevens spots sunday (open and closed terrain) None of the accumulation since the rain even 2 weeks ago has bonded well to ice/rain crust. On Saturday noticed several larger slabs at baker. How cohesive the slab above that is a function of wind/snow loading but I'd be careful anywhere until that layer disappears - especially with the increased accumulation forecast over the next couple days.

yet oddly still depending on others to survive.

Happy B-Day!

yeah, because life on the roads with no standards for motor vehicles and driving is fucking peachy. I suggest trying to drive in India or Indonesia sometime.
