    The teabaggers are aware that Project Mayhem was a network of domestic terrorists hellbent on crippling this country, right? Not a bunch of wholesome country folk who believe that grandma is going to get put down with the dog?

    I just want to know why we can't ever have a biscuit and gravy club? I'm thinking the only casualty would be extreme bloat, some digestive sluggishness, and perhaps a few lumps that certainly can be whipped out with a little elbow grease and milk. Great for extra soppage, right? Right. Clearly no fatalities. Just need strong arteries. Win for us all.

    Beating on the short-busers...that's no trend we can believe in. Gravy....always.

    @GuidedbyVices: When I was in high school out there on that lonesome prairie, I thought, the vast gene pool of shallow ignorance of our elders must in time be selected out. Then I went back after some years to a reunion.

    The schools of Texas manage each year to inculcate the valueless themes of the society unto such of their offspring which are unable to think, which is most. That's why it's a terminally red state. They seem very proud of that, so I leave them to it.

    I'm really torn about the boozy Starbucks idea. On one hand, maybe it'll keep the annoying kids out, but I like that I can meet up with people at a place that doesn't serve alcohol.

    How cool. Lucky he didn't kill or maim an innocent person. Hey, I get a rash every time I pass a Starbuck, I only patronize them for the loo. But bombs are tricky creatures, and you never know you're you're going to hurt. His age, I guess, is an extenuating circumstance. I have more mercy and pity for kids his age who have to WORK in Starbucks.
