Look, I know you love veterans more than most people, but it's just absolutely not relevant. Would it be normal for a headline to read "Left-handed Asian plumber with flat feet mauled by pit bull?" Not every fact is relevant.

There was a recent thread about flooding in the Dakotas and thereabouts. I can't find it. Going through the cheese, Minnesota, and into Fargo; what's the story on flooding up there?

'ZACKLY! That's what you get when you go with a big company.

That there is no enmity between faith and science is my view, also, and the view of some refreshing voices in creationist circles, like Ken Ham. There was a time, of course, that Christians disbelieved the existence of dinosaurs, but after science forced them to look at evidence, reasoned that...

Unfortunately, being a college town probably helps the statists. College kids don't seem to value freedom and privacy much. 180° from when I was young.

I have yet to hear anything, aside from your post, that jokes about the Flintstones being a documentary (there was that comedy starring Tim Allen as a Shatner-esque former sci-fi actor who makes a living attending SF conventions, where some geeky guys glom onto him; he thinks they want him to...

You can't SERIOUSLY be something other than a creationist. You're smarter than that.

I'm betting they have more rules than Carter has pills. Big outfit like that, they'd probably even want to put a satellite dome on the top. Screw that.

I forget the vote I read about, something preliminary. The article I read said it wasn't the final vote, but something preliminary at which the result was the same: 6-1. That's when the recall talk should have started. Maybe if it had, this result wouldn't have happened. Have you read what the...

Ellsberg calls Bradley Manning a hero who was only doing what was necessary.

Why aren't their six recall petitions being circulated in town by now? Are the townspeople that tame? Maybe there was a previous law requiring all men to be castrated. Any citizen that doesn't raise hell over this has nothing in his trousers but his car keys.

I notice neither photo gives any idea of the cargo area. If there isn't room for 3 skids and then a couple feet for the driver to lay down behind the seats, then it's too short.

High temps forecast to be close to 110°F for the next 10 days. Hope you have some serious AC. I think most engines will overheat, idling in that weather.

When I was in the military, I wore a POW bracelet. There was a buck sergeant in our section who was a real piece of work, an arrogant SOB. Even though everybody else seemed to know that POW bracelets were allowed in uniform, this jackball didn't get the memo and tried to jack me up over it. When...

The Old Testament has much to say about justice and compensation in the event someone's dangerous animal gets loose and hurts someone, then goes on to address what should happen if an animal was known to have attacked in the past but the owner didn't take necessary measures to see to it it never...

Well you don't know my killer mini-dachshund. What she lacks in braun, she compensates for in brains. Her M.O. is to go after your shoe laces. Then you trip. Once you're on the ground, she goes for the jugular. Hey, why is it important to the story and the headline to point out that the guy's a...

The assumption I find ridiculous is that the entire smartphone industry is going to keep growing. I think the global economy is going to slow drastically and people are going to be more worried about a roof over their head and food in their bellies. I'd love to be wrong. I don't think too many...

Hard to believe... Windows Phone 7 to overtake Apple iOS: Report Jun 13, 2011, 12.14pm IST Agencies SAN FRANCISCO: Look out Apple, Microsoft has got the iPhone's number. Research firm IDC predicted that Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 will outpace sales of Apple's iPhone by 2015. Both will...

Well, it's only going to be "us," right? It's not discoverable by the public, and the whole concept is that we all put the parking places we find into it. Having one or two guys edit it just isn't realistic.

Editable by anybody but the URL is only known here. Having a select few able to edit didn't seem feasible.
