Because, Dave, some people just don't do well when someone holds a belief contrary to their own.

Wish they'd do a cat, a giraffe for novelty, and a human.

Republicans are trolls now? I'm sure all this vitriol is certainly going to change my opinion one way or the other.

Having kept abreast of MEMRI for months, I find it to be a valuable repository of translated work from the middle east. I wonder what this Saudi cleric would think of Farfour.

For a moment, I thought women horribly outnumbered the guys in El Paso, and I began to get depressed. Then my dumb brain figured out how to use the slider, and I feel a little better. But I think eHarmony may be a good thing to try. It's so hard to find anyone down here.

A good question is how much time do we have to devote to learning these other skills that we don't use often?

Heck, can't be worse than some of the mayors I've ever seen. If nothing else, it'll be an interesting term.

Putting it towards my repaired transmission. And appreciating it coming back, which is more than most politicians would do for me.

A story about a mother with cancer praying for a little more time with her children, and we're focusing on a child's cosmetic appearance?
