There's quite a discussion going on at Americablog regarding her claims. Any way to check them out?

I was watching CSPAN-3 this morning. During the break between groups testifying, CSPAN showed the above with Bush. The cats and I burst out laughing at that one. That's right, the American voters 'spoke' and George 'listened' as he pointed. Now, he can't help it if what the voters 'said' is something different than what he heard.

Re: “Blue-collar” vs. ???

It's an attitude that comes from not investigating, not scratching the below the surface or just simply thinking corporate is better. Though from Idaho originally and here again, I've lived other places. The best of 'other places' is describing what you described - places that make that place what it is - unique and its own place.

It's also a way to continually separate us - blue collar vs white collar. Bruce Springsteen STILL considers himself blue collar! Class, IOW.

Somehow kind of connected - please go here and read about this and see if you can help add something or make suggestions. Or if the url doesn't show up in my comment, please check above.

Ya know! There are books I will NEVER read given the genre and my own interests. [Yep, anything sports-related is in that category.] :)

However, I would by no means advocate for their removal because they, say, take up too much space, contribute to setting off testosterone meters, and ultimately lead to increased wife beating and kid spanking.

But wait - aren't those good family values?

Just wrote to the librarian in question. ;)

You have to watch out for those librarians. They're rabble rousers of the worst sort. Have you been ot the national website. Especially when the Patriot Act was first passed!

Okay - well, I'm up for removing romance novels!

Well, Jackson's wasn't much better - although coherent - it was pretty frickin' dismissive.

I always thought their coffee tasted burnt and not very good anyway.

From the first cup of coffee I tried. Even in a pinch I don't drink it.

I happen to like Dunkin Donuts coffee - or did, we don't have them here. I either make coffee at home or go to a place nearby that's owned locally.

Only other counties actually educate their youth about alcohol. People wonder why we have so many problems with drinking in this country, the solution doesn’t lie with stricter regulations, it lies with education, understanding and reasoning.

'other countries' vs counties - huh?

I was stationed in Germany for a couple of years and of course traveled throughout Europe and around. Alcohol wasn't that big of a deal. One commenter on the Idaho Statesman commented that it also ties into religion.

Let me see if I can be succinct enough for Mr. Skaug. Liar!

“I was mad and I fired off a sarcastic remark,” Skaug said. “It was a stupid remark on my part where I stooped to a sophomoric-level comment on a blog.”

Big-time liar!

Because the man is supposedly a 'professional' - an attorney, and he acted like a dick - plus the banning of books - ANY frickin' book - notwithstanding the STUPID, STOOPID comments left by some commenters here last night/yesterday that I was reading. As of now, Jan Hammer is the reigning patron of idiots.

So what's the etiquette for approaching a taco truck anyway? Love tacos, just haven't yet stopped at one of these trucks.

Though I don't read the comments ('cuz most of them are truly ignorant), some of them today were downright hilarious.

As for the video - one I'm using shows that when the dude is confronted by the police a little firmly, he drops to his knees. You can see them both (Brandi & Dimwit) 'walking' on their knees for a bit. They either get up OR are pulled up by the Chinese police.
