Yes Frank, I was a bit worried about you not seeing it earlier. I hope no harm has come to you in the meantime. In any case, now you are properly warned and I hope you will henceforth act with due caution.
all retire to the group hug thread
Let's see know....
...rabbit stew.
Hummmm....
...first item...
..."when butchering the rabbit, it is best to place the carcass on its back on a cutting board and cut it in half lengthwise. Then, using a cleaver, chop each half into three approximately equal pieces."
Doesn't sound too difficult.
Oh, by the way...the last dozen posts in this thread have been very, very civil and edifying. I don't want anyone to think they were the reason I barfed all over my keyboard.
Frank, Just as long as you didn't barf on that wabbit stew!
ok all sing-a-long with the Omaha Aquarium Choir "Blinded by the Light"
All conservatives are selfish, pin-headed, witless sycophants, sucking up to the plutocracy which robs them on a daily basis.
Now, does that relieve all the tension and embarrassment?
This one's specially for Frank.

Here is a little funny for you:
One day an Irishman, who has been stranded on a desert island for over ten years, sees an unusual speck on the horizon. "It's certainly not a ship", he thinks to himself. As the speck gets closer and closer, he begins to rule out the possibilities of a small boat, then even a raft.
Suddenly, emerging from the surf comes a drop dead gorgeous blonde wearing a wet suit and scuba gear. She approaches the stunned man and says to him, "Tell me how long has it been since you've had a cigarette?" "Ten years," replies the Irishman.
With that, she reaches over and unzips a waterproof pocket on her left sleeve and pulls out a pack of fresh cigarettes. He takes one, lights it, takes a long drag and says, "Faith and begorah! Is that good!"
And how long has it been since you've had a sip of whisky?" she asks him. Trembling, the castaway replies, "Ten years." She reaches over, unzips her right sleeve, pulls out a flask and hands it to him. He opens the flask, takes a long swig and says, "'Tis absolutely fantastic!"
At this point she starts slowly unzipping the long zipper that runs down the front of her wet suit, looks at the man and asks, "And how long has it been since you've played around?"
With tears in his eyes, the man falls to his knees and sobs,
"Oh, sweet Jesus, don't tell me you've got golf clubs in there too!"
harmony Joe, we gotta have harmony.
Getting back to the topic of the thread: in view of the most recent revelations, Shrub wacking not only does not bother me, i am beginning to think we should nominate it as the new national passtime . . .
C'mon, bern...spit it out.
(As an aside, visualizing you traversing the SF Bay wearing a Dubya mask, I thought I would share a photo of a fellow we met in Crawford at the Iraq War protest last weekend...)
PD
Actually, it was just a photo which didn't link correctly.
I will assume, from Scrat's silence, that I have satisfactorily met the challenge to provide at least one case where Justice Scalia did not rely on original intent.
Not in the least.
I had to deal with 8 years of rabid Clinton bashing that targeted everything from his daughter's looks, Limbaugh described her as the "White House dog," to charges his mother was a prostitute, and that the Clinton's had Ron Brown's plane shot down so the "secrets" of Whitewater would die with him.
Turn about in politics is fair play and George "aWol" Bush provides a rich font from which to draw.

Or you might assume that I have a life and haven't seen your citation. :wink: Let me take a look back and see what you offered and I'll give you my honest, if unqualified, opinion.

That's more like it, Set! :wink:
Funny -- but old joke, ci.
But funny!!!

Okay, I've read your comments now. First, you clearly have a better knowledge of legal issues than I. That said, I'll concede that I can't reasonably argue that Scalia never gets it wrong. Of course, that also precludes the notion that Rhenquist never gets it wrong as well...
(Of course, I'd like to think that no justice would deviate from original intent
by design.)
