OK, I feel better. I'd have really been cheesed off if he wasn't driving a hybrid vehicle.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jul 4, 2007 -> 03:17 PM) As governor of Texas, Bush oversaw 152 executions. Not once did he find the sentence "too harsh." Even when the defendants were mentally handicapped, which, btw, was the sort of important fact that was often conveniently kept from Texas jurors during George's time as governor. As was any mention of religious conversion on death row, e.g., Karla Faye Tucker. It was a lot easier for Bush to smirk and mock somebody's petition for a stay of execution (from the Tucker Carlson interview: "Please," Bush whimpers, his lips pursed in mock desperation, "don't kill me.") than to actually consider that anybody but he could experience religious awakening and redemption worthy of forgiveness or mercy. A class act all around, that Mr. Bush.

Who's the big fat glutton now, huh, Japan?!?

QUOTE(Mplssoxfan @ Jun 30, 2007 -> 09:01 AM) You're close enough to Kalamazoo that you should be able to enjoy some of the products of Bell's. Tasty stuff. And if you're that close to K-Zoo, then hit up Zeke's in Dowagiac and try about a dozen different gorgeous Belgians. Sometimes their beers taste like they have been manhandled somewhere along the way (oxidized, lightstruck, etc.), but still an impressive bottled beer selection for SW Michigan.

I love the Canon EOS 5D I use at work. It's down to about $2,500 now. If you don't want any lenses that is. Well, you did say "fancy digital."

Damn good stuff the Chimay!! Brother Theodore does indeed know how to make good beer. And other than the monks who work in commercial operations these guys are the real deal right down to the vow of silence. Then again, they get a daily allotment of four quarts of beere or so, so who has time to talk with all that drinking and an occasional prayer here and there? My favorite of the three is actually the Cinq Cents (white), but then again in general I gravitate toward the tripels when it comes to the Trappist brews. They are such a deceptively light beer and are an amazing balancing act of body, flavor, and strength. Kid is at least as gonzo for the Trappist stuff as I am, I'm sure he'd also approve of your noble quest for better brew.

Get a room.

Hurt!!

Hooray for the county I work in!

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 08:30 AM) I hope you're not talking about most of us here... most of us aren't advocating that, but we are advocating that they not get amnesty. Big difference. No, not most of us. Only the extreme fringe Minutemen contingent. QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 09:13 AM) So when Americans waive the flag and want to defend our country, that's being jingoistic, and therefor bad. Not at all. When patriotism is allowed to grow into belligerence, xenophobia and fear-mongering, that's being jingoistic. 12 million illegals didn't show up here overnight. It's the product of decades of a system that allowed it to happen and a consumerist society that enjoys the benefits of cheap labor but didn't want to worry about the source of the cheap labor. In a gross miscalculation as to the chances of moving forward on workable solutions, this long-standing situation has now become a front-and-center issue and a distraction from more pressing national needs.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jun 26, 2007 -> 06:57 PM) I'm not doubting there are Americans who would work in that position, but I wouldn't call this person a "dirtbag border-crossing illegal." Yeah, I figured using green would have been overkill what with all the hyperbole and mock outrage in there. I was pretending to be an enraged jingoistic close-the-borders-and-kick-em-all-out policy advocate for a minute. It didn't take.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jun 26, 2007 -> 10:47 PM) I cant decide if I like "Inner City pressure". Counting coins on the counter of the 7-11, from a quarter past six ‘til a quarter to seven. The manager Bevan starts to abuse me. "Hey man, I just want some Muesli!" What's not to like??

I want to try to see them get "Bowie Song" or into the show.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jun 26, 2007 -> 05:28 PM) Why? Because of one case involving a Canadian who was already here legally on a visa? Yes, in that one case I'd wager there were plenty of American Whitebreads willing and able to do the work. That is unlike all of the other menial jobs immigrant laborers are supposedly stealing from Americans.

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Jun 26, 2007 -> 02:44 PM) We prefer realistic solutions. But if you don't...more power to you and the unicorn you ride into work. I now know how to respond to my supervisor when she sets deadlines that fly in the face of all physical reality. Of course, I may not be employed for very long after that conversation.

Hmmm, maybe this is why we have an illegal immigration problem. Let's just make sure we hold the employer responsible for hiring these dirtbag border-crossing illegals, right? And for once here, I'll buy the argument that these dirtbag border-crossing illegals actually are taking jobs that Whitebread America would be willing to do.
