This like your previous silly slanders is absent reasoned rebuttals, and comprises significant evidence that your perception of the real world doesn't exist.
By the way, I call a spade a shovel.

I guess you missed the sarcasm.
I know what it means, but "spade" used to be used as a racial term.I dont kow if it still is or not.
And there are some people here on A2K that look at everything anybody says to see if its racial or not, if it could be racial or not, or even if the person MIGHT have been making a racial remark or not.

A shovel is a very different thing from a spade. Well, quite different, anyway.

The attack was a pointed reminder of the danger still posed by Sunni Arab militants despite a nationwide decline in violence.

McTag, what do you think is the difference between a spade and a shovel?
I use my shovel as the spade too! Our soil here is almost like cement-clay, and I use a pick ax to dig when the soil is dry.

My wife just bought a thing that attaches to the end of a power drill, and is great for breaking up the soil and works like a small tiller for flower gardens and small areas.
I dont know what its called, she works in the garden and I take care of the rest of the yard.

I will stick to the topic instead of engaging in personal life.
"As long as war is a parade with flags and bands and bumper stickers, it doesn't seem so bad. On the field of battle, strewn with body parts, excrement, blood and the smell of burnt flesh, it becomes a pretty hard sell for the military public-relations types.
The human species being what it is, pacifism is suicide, but every single American should be against war except as the last extreme resort. Getting rid of Saddam Hussein was not worth 4,000 American dead and another 29,000 wounded. He had no weapons of mass destruction, and he was definitely not an imminent threat to the United States. The Iraq War is one for which George W. Bush and Dick Cheney should not be forgiven. There was no excuse for ordering it. The American troops didn't die for freedom; they died because Bush didn't like Saddam or because the American Establishment wants permanent military bases on a big pool of oil.
I've noticed one thing about all the dead bodies I've seen: It's obvious the person who once inhabited the body is no longer there. It's a good argument that there is such a thing as a soul. Whatever the mystery of life is, you can tell when it departs by the change in the appearance of what's left behind. "
------------ Charley Reese------------------
Journalist Ron Suskind's revelation that Saddam Hussein's intelligence chief was a prewar intelligence source reporting to the British that Saddam had no weapons of mass destruction (WMD) adds yet another dimension to the systematic effort by then Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director George Tenet to quash any evidence - no matter how credible - that conflicted with the George W. Bush administration's propaganda line that Saddam was actively pursuing a nuclear weapons program.
Tenet - who was a political operator rather than an intelligence professional - had betrayed the CIA's mission of providing objective analysis, instead choosing to serve the interests of the Bush administration in preparing the way for war. It is not difficult to imagine how he would have meekly carried out whatever was asked of him by the White House - even forging a document and leaking it to the media, to buttress the administration's case for war.

Yea, she got it off of TV.
But surprisingly, it actually does what it advertises.
I wouldnt use it to plow a field, but for turning over or weeding a flower garden it works great.
