Alright dude, well, I think we just need to leave it then. You ain't changing my mind, and I'm not changing yours. You can have the last word. For my part it's much more of a stretch to suggest that Obama was addressing the post-trauma political atmosphere. There would be no reason to do so, and...

See second paragraph, above. That was the part that the media picked up, and if you can give me a valid reason why it was included, then I will reconsider my stance. Nothing in a presidential speech is there by chance. You tell me what Loughner's actions had to do with our supposedly sharply...

Heh, I thought the same thing when I saw it. Really the only similarity is guy, walking around with camera, being weird. But maybe that was enough similarity. I don't know how many more ways I can say it. He advanced the idea that the shooting in Tuscon "said something" about America. He...

He played this tragedy as if it were some sort of canary in our civil coalmine. It's outrageous, insulting, and deserving of nothing but scorn. When I need someone to heap calumny on my country I can get George Soros, and Mahmood Ahmadimwit for free. I don't even have to pay for a big house for...

I've been p/o'd about this whole thing, but I haven't written about it or discussed it with anyone until now. 46er, I don't mean to pick on you, but there are two things about this that get me, beyond the obvious loss of life and outrage to civilization, and you touched on one of them. This...

Great story, Jerseyman. Thanks for posting it. The first thing that caught my eye was the quote from the Rubaiyat. I assume it's one of those texts that was popular among the leisure classes during the era of Victorian fascination with mysticism and the occult. The story about "Double...

I've been following this since it popped. Really an amazing find for that young fellow, and a reminder that for every talented artist who gains fame and recognition there are probably several more equally talented that the world will never know about.

Maybe another inch or so all day yesterday up here in the great white north.

It's a difficult question. They can't preserve everything, so they establish museums and preserve some locations, like Batsto and Atsion mansion, and the rest of what happens to be out there is left to moulder. It makes me sad, but it is so much more the rule than the exception, over history...

Also agreed, and in fact it seems quite likely that the yote was already used to getting handouts, and he was upset that none were forthcoming. Otherwise he'd have to be a lot skinnier and more desperate to want to get and stay that close.

Haha, indeed. Did you like the part where he sticks his hand out? Here little yote, bite my fingers off!

I got a kick out of this video, just because the Coyote was so close to the camera for such an extended period. Thought you guys would like it. Language is NSFW. He talks like a Canadian who lives in the woods. http://www.fazed.net/video/view/?id=917

Ah, I see what you're getting at. I carry a small saw with me, but if I run into a large tree I usually back out. I admit, though, that if there is an established go-around I'll use it.

Yeah I have a hard time believing that one. Funny story, but as far as I know troops don't travel on commercial flights carrying weapons. Unloaded weapons can be carried on commercial flights, but for obvious reasons they have to be declared and carried in checked baggage. Under no circumstances...

For what it's worth, I've traversed pretty much the deepest sand I'm ever likely to encounter (North Carolina beaches) with stock tires, no lift, and without ever needing to lock the rear in a 2007 FJ Cruiser. My take... Tires: a good set of all-terrains will do you fine. I run 275 70/R17...

This is a puzzling statement. How would people who don't want to chance a deep hole get into the woods? For the most part, we wouldn't have go-arounds if off-road types didn't tear holes in the roads. I'm not saying there are no natural obstacles, but many or most of the holes are created and...

We've already basically got a shooting war along the southwestern border. Perfect opportunity for the Canadians to hit us from the north. We know they have long coveted Detroit and our side of the Falls.

Well, the animatronic version of him at Disneyworld did, that's all I know.

We'll be France.

Still closer to the pines I think. You might be able to make Columbia at the gap on 80 from Princeton in an hour, but I think it will take longer most times, and anyway all the nice parts are well north of there, so add another 30 minutes. Not a bad deal, though, to be in the middle on a line...
