Not much sun in the icicle these days.

Does anyone have a report on 11worth ice conditions? I'm too lazy to drive up the road and have a look myself.

What a great trip, Dan! Such a good crew. I dig that pic of everyone scoping out Spider.

There's been an Occupy Camp 4 in Yos for 40 years.

Nice. I love that place. What's up with the tent city though? I remember staying at Miguel's - pretty laid back and fun.

Heil!

I don't see how this legislation passes even the basic sniff test of holding up to due process scrutiny.

Wow. Who's got asbergers now?

Or so Kevbone can claim its a government rice conspiracy. Sorry, please continue with important free speach discussion.

Stop bothering me. I'm busy counting the number of grains that come in a 50 lb bag of rice.

Yes, busy making "valuable contributions."

Well, since your question was apparently asked to recent immigrants I would think its important to phrase your question in a way that doesn't imply that the job of the Supreme Court is to make policy. However, arranging fingernail clipping jars is a pretty good analogy for most legal analysis.

Your original question is inherently flawed. Supreme Court Justices don't allow or disallow anything they affirm, remand, or vacate lower judgements; or just refuse to grant certiorari.

Right on!

Great. I want to get all my medical advice from Rock and Ice magazine.

I'd have a hard time voting for someone named Newt.

Definitly Thermogenesis.

I think most people, especially in Seattle, respect others' right to utilize their freedom of speach and protest in a reasonable manner. Even if it includes occupying public space for a while. And I think a lot of people believe most protest movements have valid things to say. But after an extended period of time a protest gets unreasonbable. After a while, a protest movement is joined by criminals, anarchists, and hooligans. Seattle CC wants the protesters off its campus because "protesters" are leaving hypodermic needles and garbage everwhere, and generally trashing the place. I can't help but think the purple-haired mohawk guy I see at the Occupy movement doesn't represent most people's (even the 99%'s)values or concerns and, perhaps, is part of the movement because he really has nothing better to do. Moreover, what exactly are the protesters seeking to compel the City of Seattle to do? Its one thing to protest Congress in D.C. or protest the President, but the City of Seattle has no control over federal policy like bailing out banks. Meanwhile, occupiers are costing the City millions of dollars it doesn't have. I really don't see how that is having a positive effect on public policy.

I was talking with a friend of my dad's the other day who is a retired Seattle cop. He worked downtown and he's seen everything. In general, I'm no fan of cops but this guy is a very nice man, a real gentleman - the kind of guy you would want to be a cop. He said it used to be that protesters would protest and the police would show up and let them protest for a while and make their point and then the cops would arrest them and usher them off into the Paddy wagon or whatever. Noone got hurt and everybody's happy. Then the protesters started sitting down and when it was time to be arrested they wanted to be carried off to make a big scene and everything. So the cops would carry a few off, the media would get some good pictures, and then the rest would get up and go be arrested. Noone got hurt and everybody's happy. Then after a while the protesters decided no one would get up and they all wanted to be a carried off to be arrested. So the cops did that. But sure enough, people started suing the city saying cops hurt them and dislocated their shoulders and what not and whining about it. So now the cops just pepper spray the cocksuckers.

Clearly she was a member of the Occupy Safeway youth movement.

Well, kid's probably never going to shoplift again.

Nooooo. Wenatchee is too far. 11worth!

Ron Paul is the answer to all your questions.

Kev do you even know what a Neocon is?

Neat. Thanks. I like the bar at the top of the climb. There needs to be more of that in the US.
