Denmark...meh. She's OK but the bad skin ruins it

:huh: "Bad skin"?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

So inexplicable!

I just assume it's connected with some deep-seated association and British dislike for the Irish/Scottish.

QuoteAlaska Rep. Don Young: Wolves could solve your 'homeless problem'

Come again, congressman?

Alaska Republican Rep. Don Young – who made headlines in July for twisting the arm of a staffer on Capitol Hill – suggested during a hearing Thursday in Washington, D.C. that wolves could solve an area's "homeless problem," the Associated Press reported. "I'd introduce 'em in your district, you wouldn't have a homeless problem anymore," Young said, responding to those fighting to protect the gray wolf in the continental U.S. Young claimed the wolf's advocates don't live in areas populated by the predatory carnivore.
Of course, Young's spokesperson Matt Shuckerow insisted Young didn't mean his comment literally. Rather, he said Young used hyperbole to emphasize the threat gray wolves pose to wildlife and communities alike.

Young's unfiltered remarks have landed him in hot water before. In March 2013, Young referred to Latino farm workers as "wetbacks."

It has long been known our beauty standards (discounting general xenophillia) are fairly opposite :boobs:

Two colleagues of mine explained this week to me that while microwaving food is convenient, it's also very harmful to the food, because radiation. And one should wait at least a minute before opening a finished microwave to allow the worst radiation to dissipate.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Do you ask them if they contain the food in a lead lined chamber while the radiation dissipates?

I certainly hope they take the same concerns into account with vegetables grown outdoors. What with the sun and all.
