Ergo post #51. Or maybe alter-ego thereto. Whatever. Anyhow, stop being logical.

We'd probably just reduce endemic American obesity. Win-win. Besides, this isn't about eliminating fertilizer, it's about banning it.

If we banned fertilizer then everyone would have to grow organic which would be healthier and better for the environment but that's pinko so never mind.

Ban rabbits!

Wake up and smell the coffee.

Give it up. This is the official thread of idiotic analogies.

And...here's your answer. Google is your friend. Took about 15 seconds. http://www.gallup.com/poll/101872/how-does-gallup-polling-work.aspx

The guy's full name is Paul Kevin Curtis. Right there that's automatically suspect. And he's pale as the day is long - another obvious clue. Next time there's a bombing, I say we scoop up all the injured people who are pasty-faced and have Christian names, question them for hours at the hospital, and search their homes.

Unless you're good at the fine points of taxation yourself, you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't consult some manner of tax professional. For example, the IRS and/or your state's taxation department may have a different idea of the difference between a 1099 contractor and a W-2 employee than you and your DZO do. Make a mistake, and you poke The Bear in the nose; and The Bear usually pokes back. A good tax professional can guide you in the best way to "walk the line" that fits YOUR specific situation.

Your post is far too mature to gain any traction here.

As much as it gives you a boner to mindlessly use the word "liberal" as a pejorative, you'd be surprised how many people are moderates, and how many moderates think a compromise measure is reasonable. (For example: the 91% of the people who want enhanced background checks.) Those people are appalled at the simplistic politics of "do nothing". Those same people are disgusted at being summarily demonized and lumped-into some "enemy camp", as though they're a bunch of fools. Those same people tend to be the swing votes that carry close elections; and if you haven't noticed, a lot of elections are pretty close. Want to see more, and more, and more, Democrats elected, some of them pretty liberal, enacting policies you don't like? Keep doing what you're doing. In the long run, you're not rallying the troops, you're alienating a huge cohort of swing voters, and increasing your losses at the polls.

That kind of thinking is paranoid and irrational.

OK, so cutting thru all the blather, you summarily dismiss the Gallup Poll. Got it.

Gallup poll. That neutral enough for you? 91% want background checks. http://www.gallup.com/poll/160085/americans-back-obama-proposals-address-gun-violence.aspx

People shouldn't smoke. It's a nasty habit.

Got what?

+10 for missing the point. That's ok, maybe it was subtle.

Brilliant! No matter how many times this cute little canard is regurgitated, it just never gets old.

I like blueberries in my muffins, but prefer strawberries in my Pop Tarts. Did you know that technically both bananas and watermelons berries? It's true. Cherries, however, are not berries, though I like them in Pop Tarts, too.

Speaking of which, he's attending The Witch's corpse disposal. Apt.

Sighhh. Fine: Asians. There. I said it.

I have no problem with trucks. My wife drives a pickup, and they don't pick up our trash here, either. It's the giant trucks with chrome and "No Fat Chicks" stickers (drivers generally a fat unwashed male), or the Escalade sized SUVs with soccer stickers and stick figure families (driver invariably an overdone, middle-aged woman on the cell phone) that have to go 1mph over parking lot speed bumps that drive me crazy. When I taught my kids how to drive, I told taught them to recognize patterns and use visual cues to anticipate who'd be more likely than average to drive like an aggressive asshole: pickup trucks, taxicabs, delivery/contractors' vans, red subcompact cars with white wheel treatments, and any vehicle with a young male at the wheel (especially with other young male passengers). I stand by that advice.

or tomorrow at Thatcher's funeral... Pfft. Just throw a bucket of water on her stiff. Done.

Contractor special. I actually considered one before buying my last Tundra. If I remember correctly it had the capacity to power our house during an outage (minus AC), would just require some monkeying with the electrical system in the garage. Blues, Dave Would those be the evolutionary monkeys or the intelligent design monkeys? Careful now, this is a trick question.
