Manpace, cash benefits are rare these days. Most government welfare comes in the form of food stamps and Medicaid. The article you linked says that plenty of people in these counties USE these programs, but they don't commit FRAUD by lying about eligibility. Unmarried women who can't work because they have young children are eligible for benefits. That's not fraud, but whether it's RIGHT fuels the argument.

Skipweasel, page two contains some really explicit art.

Neato! And I see mental floss was named under "trivia"!

postal, that was LDS, not FLDS. This group wouldn't touch the issue because it would bring too much attention to them.

According to the linked article, yes.

Looks like we broke it. Maybe it will come back up soon.

Don't forget? Those things are in the linked article.

What are you talking about?

Be warned that if you go to the actual auction page, it will take FOREVER to load. The "link" is to an article about it.

It's pretty common knowledge inside the US, too.

Obviously an instrument of torture.

Tacky, yes, but with people marrying older these days, you have a yard sale when you get married and need a shower when you split. It's only tacky when you ask for stuff. I've been married more times than I care to admit, but I've never had a wedding shower. We really did have a wedding yard sale last summer!

I wondered about the narration. For a minute I assumed it was Cantonese, then thought I recognized some Mandarin words, so I used the word "language" instead of either.

That's it, in the picture.

Thanks, Windell, fixed. I should have referred to the Alan, Allan, or Allen quiz!
