Admin Mod to Trolls: “Drop Dead”

WASHINGTON, May 31 — After vowing to steer a greater share of antiterrorism money to the highest-risk communities, Department of Homeland Security officials on Wednesday announced 2006 grants that slashed money for New York and Washington 40 percent, while other cities including Omaha and Louisville, Ky., got a surge of new dollars.

Homeland security officials said the grants were a result of a more sophisticated evaluation process

OK, I'm back.

I found my dog on the computer again and had to remove him.

I had reservations about subjecting myself to a diatribe against evolution. Evolution doesn't explain the beginning of life, but it shouldn't be trashed for the wrong reasons, like the fact that Liberals think highly of it.

Coulter devotes a few chapters to evolution. Her main argument is not simply that the Left is still ga-ga over it--that certainly does come out, as it ought to--but she raises the typical philosophical objections to Darwinian evolution. The philosophy portions are admittedly better than the science portions, which merely recite things that one can find in any pro-Intelligent Design book.

However, "Godless" is more than just a diatribe against the theory of evolution. It is, as the others were, keen psychological insight into the liberal mind--which is highly appreciated by this former liberal.

He just wants to post!

I suppose it all depends on perspective. I don't find strip clubs "sexy."

Yes, but there is certainly no Grotesque Tax (but if so Helen Thomas is way overdue!), so I had to improvise. ;)

[tuliptree76]

LOL!

Maybe there ought to be--just for folks like her...

Oh wait, I'd be covered too. Damn. 8^)

[A CA Guy]

He just wants to post!

Sure does, he's been taunting Star Jones on her website and gone to several local Italian restaurants to attempt home delivery of meatball sandwiches.

[rzeznikj at stout]

Oh boy...

...not again 8^)

[Das Outsider]

But you get my point, right? Strip clubs are grotesque, cliche, and predictable--kinda like Helen Thomas. Whoops, did it again!

[tuliptree76]

Don't give him your credit card number then. He'll be buying a lot of meatball-related products. :-)

Oh wait, I'd be covered too. Damn. 8^)

There may be an exemption for the "clinically ugly." Check with your local preparer.

"There isn't a sexy tax, is there?"

There could be. Perhaps there should be.

It would have to be alluring and attractive, without necessarily being anti-business.

A sexy tax would be one that combines the function of taxation and something like the lottery into a single economic function. For example, at random intervals, every ten-thousandth puchaser of a gallon of milk is rewarded with a negative tax of a thousand times his taxable amount.

Here in Maryland, at about three dollars for milk, and five percent tax, the reward would be a hundred and fifty dollars, minus the cost of the milk.

(Notice that the State takes in fifteen hundred dollars for every one hundred fifty it pays out.)

The breed is persistent.

[tuliptree76]

Yeah, I got it. LOL!

I had to stop myself from typing - I started overanalyzing taxes on such businesses, and various other "sin taxes." My mind has been on tax overload lately.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Just fine, sweetie. I hope you can at least get some vacation time this summer.

[rzeznikj at stout]

Already did. I don't qualify...

Drat.

[A CA Guy]

He already had chicken for dinner, fresh water and took a nap on top of several covers in air conditioning. Why he was on Star Jones website calling her a beard for marrying her husband I don't get yet.
He then asked her when she will be hosting some shows on the Animal Planet.

[rzeznikj at stout]

Predictability...

[stephenjohnbanker]

I think anyone posting her picture should do 30 days!!

[tuliptree76]

A random refund... Interesting concept.
