Also sounds like she skipped her warm-up.

I've noticed a sort of a trend with that sort of thing. In my own community, there was a guy- He ended up getting arrested for kiddie porn, and almost immediately everybody had a story to tell about how he creeped them out or said something inappropriate or hit on them or something.

But it's perfectly acceptable for the Bush twins to be such a drunken mess that they're actually asked to leave the country.

I'm assuming that there's an odds game at work- X% of moms will respond this way, Y% will respond that way...

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. This is exactly what I've been wanting to see.

There's just a general trend of public opinion being harder on Israel than on other countries doing similarly awful stuff.

The idea is that there needs to be a Jewish homeland since Jews have been systematically persecuted for thousands of years.

In my experience, there are never two sides to a story. If there's anything more than the sole objective truth, there are at least a dozen sides, if not hundreds.

I have said it many times before: Those who are entrusted with the public welfare, and then use that power to victimize people, are the only humans lower than child molesters. There is no punishment too severe for that kind of betrayal.

Almost as punk as Quincy ME.

I was blown away by the Segway. Yeah, it's kind of a stupid application, but I remember looking at the actual tech and thinking "damn- This is going to be all over the aerospace industry in 20 years..."

I honestly don't have enough experience with Rigid to answer that. I do have one piece- an oscillating spindle sander- which was given to me used. It works, seems very sturdy with metal parts in some spots where they could have used plastic, but has a couple design features I'm not totally impressed with, like…

Absolutely- I'm a wood guy. If I need to buy an automotive tool, I go cheap because it's probably going to get used once. A bandsaw or router, I think of as an *investment*.

True, no reason to pay Monster Cable prices for that. I'd argue there's probably a noticeable difference between the $.99 one from the dollar store and the $5 one from Radio Shack, but yeah, anything above that is just wasted.

I mean, there's "cheap", and there's cheap.

Especially with small dogs- Mine eats only around a cup of food a day, so 10lb bag is good for almost 3 weeks. The difference between $7 a month and $12 a month just isn't that big a deal, especially if it means she's happy and healthy.

Yes and no. Proper shielding *is* important- gold plated connectors and exotic materials, not so much.

See, I think it's entirely dependent on *what* you do with those tools. For me, hand tools- chisels, spokeshave, Japanese pullsaw- are where I will always buy the best quality I can get. I use them constantly, and have high standards.

I think you should be less pissed about the video than about the fact that the entry point for being middle class is now $100k a year.

This was always my one-step answer to how rich or poor you are:
What percentage of your income could you lose without affecting your standard of living?

I'm not talking "switching from brand-name to store-brand cereal" or "buy a car every three years instead of two", but major things like needing to take out loans or…

Here's the thing about edgy humor: It's hard. I'm saying this as a guy who worked in comedy clubs all over the northeast.
