Until society quits treating renters like second class citizens, it is going to remain a hard sell.

but I believe the pictures at the head of articles are generally not selected by the author of the article itself.

These people sound like they took lessons in lobbying strategies from the NRA!

Bachmann was running in a district she no longer resided in. I wonder if there's a suitable district out there that would be appropriate for Jim Graves to look at?

I hope the federal inspectors are cranking up their melamine analysis equipment as adding melamine (and other potentially toxic substances meant to artificially boost the apparent protein levels in foodstuffs) has been a fairly regular practice in China, with incidents continuing to hit the news as new transgressions are discovered.

The Chinese don't exactly have a stellar record where food safety is concerned. Can't say I'm particularly thrilled to hear about this acquisition.

Thanks for properly using the term "polygyny" in this context rather than the more broadly (mis)used term "polygamy".

(For those who are unaware of the difference, "polygyny" refers to a man having more than one wife. "Polygamy" refers to having more than one spouse without specifying gender.)

Terminology - PROPER terminology - matters.

Once you get that straight, it is easier understand that ALL weather anomalies count - not just the ones on the "high temperature" end of the spectrum.
