Beef is when the workin' folks can't find jobs.

Well, Ethiopia has completely pulled out of Somalia, and Islamic hardliners have taken Baidoa, which was basically the only place left where the provisional government had any control. The 2006 US backed Ethiopian invasion is looking stupider and stupider by the day.

It's not a magical nonexistent CBO report like the Marvster's, but it's the best I could do... http://www.mcclatchydc.com/251/story/60822.html

You have argued so eloquently and effectively for it in the past!

Turbo Lion, the actual experts on this stuff are in pretty broad agreement that: a) the earth is warming b) the roots of said warming are anthropogenic

Eric, you're talking about Uighur Chinese Muslims from Xinjiang in western China.

I had fun watching perched on the WW2 Memorial. But goddamn it was cold. I couldn't feel my toes during the speech.

ROUND ONE Omar Little VERSUS Anton Chigurh

No, actually Hamas provides social services that people desperately need. They weren't "the government" until very recently, and it's not like life for Palestinians has suddenly become desperate in the last couple of years.

If this was an ugly contest, it'd be pretty damn close. Kinetic.

E-Mac, there's no such thing as too much argyle in my book. I just bought these shoes and I'm enjoying sporting them with my new grown up clothing. I'll be 26 soon, and I've decided to start dressing more like I'm 30 and less like I'm 20.

Nigga, is you taking notes on a criminal fucking conspiracy?

I can get plenty of decent sushi in central Kentucky. It looks like there's at least three restaurants in Fort Wayne where you could get sushi: http://www.eatsushi.com/regional/searchsus...ty=FORT%20WAYNE And you could also probably get plenty of it in Indianapolis, South Bend or Columbus or Dayton in Ohio.

Yeah, I'm thinking of starting an uprising.

Have any of you ne'er-do-wells ever eaten this?

I have joined Czech as an acolyte of the red planet, mostly due to Mars & Milky Way bars. I do like Heath Bars (especially Heath Bar Blizzards from DQ!). And Nestle has a couple of studs in Butterfinger and 100 Grand. But ultimately, I think I have to go Mars.

I'm gonna jump in with SpiderPoet and say that, as a former user of an SSRI and the current user of tricyclic antidepressant, they have been very beneficial. The only side effect that I experience with the tricyclic antidepressant is drowsiness, but I had trouble sleeping anyway so I just take it at night. The only side effect I experienced with the SSRI was being able to bone for many hours straight.

More DJ Khaled asshattery. See especially after the 2:15 mark.

Agent-Really like both of these fine posters, but I voted against Special Agent in the last round and can't bear the thought of voting against such a board maven twice in a row. Kinetic-C'mon.
