Mac the Knife has damnall on these bastards. You know, the Rio Bravo is wadeable down there, the fucking wall down is breachable with minimal amount of effort, and if the Narco-talibanistas decide to invade El Paso , the guns at Fort Bliss are locked in arms rooms and by the time Rick "Nice-haircut"...

"My neighbor, a high school teacher living about an hour outside New York City, wants to torture a terrorist. He's worried because he believes that Osama—excuse me, Obama—cares more about terrorists than he does about us. He's never heard of the Spanish Inquisition. Another neighbor...

You have to be tough and work hurt because when it's real, you probably can't complain about nicks and cuts and sprains and aches and keep yourself and others alive. That said, except for profess...

  Smart: The Gas Can Blues Video sent by hourigan   I've been trying to figure out if the Chrysler pitch for the gas guarantee price is a come-on, a shill of some sort (I drive about 18K a year) or worth considering. However, the news that the auto industry is cratering due to tight credit...
