See, that's the problem with lettting ones' self get so emotionally wrapped up in obsessive hatred. Berg provided a link to the source material, as did Fox. I didn't quote either Fox or Berg...I used them as a conveinent vehicle to that source.

You may have had a shot at discrediting the information, personally I don't think you're up to it, but we'll never know because you've used it as a launchng pad for a personal diatribe instead of a debate.

The logical path to a credible...

"Pull the bus over, call the police, isolate the kid, have the police remove him from the bus, and let the parents come and pick up the little bugger from the police station."

And allow the little snot to disrupt 30+ kids and their teachers, occupy a few hours of time for the police and other invested parties....sure, that's one way of handling it, I guess.

...if anyone ever sees one of my kids spitting on people, *please* give them a smack.

You, of course are free to rely on lawyers...it's pretty clear from the behavior of many kids these days that you're not alone.

Unfortunately, on the other side of the debate in the case of SSM we have folks that would have us believe a union of two men, or two women is equal in every way to that which nature provided us biologically and emotionally.

In other words, your reasoned argument is unassailable using logic, but fails to convince when assailed by unreasonable sociopaths.

It's a new world, Matt.

Minneapolis now sports the highest hospitality tax *in-the-country*, I really wonder how much extra spending RT will be able to do.

Given the green light to include the cornucopia of government subisidies available, I'm surprised Obama isn't calling a "Mission Accomplished" on the war on poverty.

On the other hand, crowing of such accomplishments might force the media to open the books again on Obama's gutting of the 1996 welfare overhaul, which would in turn open the books on the faithlessness of the left's favorite "fact checkers".

And no good would come of that.

The 3M news caught my eye, because for the past 20 years "Mother M" has been divesting itself of it's Minnesota manufacturing facilities and relocating them to the Southern US and offshore. They also built an R&D campus in Austin Texas to which they transferred many of their technical staff. To hear of a major expansion in MN was quite a surprise; I wondered what had precipitated this apparent sea change.

And so; to the Google!

Turns out that it is a replacement of existing...

Merely remove yourself from the phone book. Problem solved. In fact, who *doesn't* do that these days?

Every time Kluwe picks up his game boy, he comforts hockey parents wracked with worry that their kids will be saddled with that dumb jock athlete stereotype.
