Offal is unfit for human consumption.  But I'm glad they put it on the traditional Argentine asado-- I can go for the good cuts of steak while others are distracted by the sweetbread and that nasty braided small intestine.

Ugh, Foreigners.   :yuk:

My only slip-up is when I've had too much wine & I go for a blood sausage thinking it's a chorizo :yuk:

Go back to 2006 and ask Obama!  :yeah:

To see what reaction I'd get.

And who said I don't respect Obama?

No, I was talking to Viking about Respect.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Nah, I like Spicy.  He's an honest sparring partner.  I am curious though, would he be good with the President dropping most of the gun stuff in exchange for concessions in the spending fight coming up?

No. It's not like Obama has leverage on guns unless he can peel off enough GOP House members and get his blue dogs to toe the line.

But out of curiosity, but what GOP spending concessions would you like to see?

Most of the blue dogs got replaced by Republicans.  It's like back in 1994 where the Republicans wiped out the Boll Weevils.  Well, mostly I'd like to see spending to be cut in Republican districts first.  Like I said before, if they really believe in spending cuts why not gore their own ox?

:lol:  Awesome.  And I guess we'd have all the assurances from your guys that they'd promptly follow suit and vote for cuts in their districts?  Pinkie-swear?

Why, you are the guys who don't believe in government.  We won't touch your guns and you can go all Mad Max.  I suppose my point is, I want to know if you guys really believe in cutting spending and limited government or you just use that as a truncheon to attack programs you aren't keen and cut spending on people you don't care about.  If we accept cuts in government services in your areas it would seem like a win, after all, less government is better.  If you really believe that.

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.

Neither article nor source says, really.  :hmm: Similar for this graph:

Yeah if that is just Federal Taxes that is very misleading.
