No less a philosopher than Kurt Cobain sang that “it’s ok to eat fish, cause they don’t have any feelings.”

And, Jackie Treehorn treats objects like women, man.

Only the puppy.

It is an extremely sad commentary on our society that people this cockamamie aren’t laughed out of society, or committed.

There was a piece in Salon SALUTING gansler for his handling of the situation. that it was LAUDABLE that he didn’t intervene, that the parents had chaperones there and had written up RULES for the party, beer, not hard liquor, no getting girls alone in bedrooms etc. so this was an UPSTANDING well managed underaged drinking party!

i’m sure he takes advice from tweets ; ) I just don’t see him doing it. it’s prob not a good tactic, bc people are sick to death of the bickering. no idea what will work. McAuliffe will prob win and that scumbag Gansler will prob win in MD.

We lived near Punctilio, Idaho while I was working at the Idaho National Engineering Lab doing reactor training out in the desert. But Russel was born 5 weeks late, and St Ronnie definitely wished he was more Punctilial in choosing a birthday out there!

A faulty filter at the water treatment plant at Beaver Run.

Looks like Monday would be the earliest the advisory could be lifted. They need two days of “clean tests” to lift it.

Not so much taking advice per se, but let him know, that it’s bad to go CCRepub, and let lies stand. lohta tore up DeBlasio in the NYC mayoral debate, when the latter tried to go ahole.

Voters like dominance. And the liar always loses that contest. It is that simple.
