Truly, Gary IN and Atlantic City are the classiest places in the US.

The Browns are on the national broadcast once, only because it’s required by the NFL. That pretty much sums it up. Good thing I married a Packers fan.

As a young officer in the Navy, I had 3 of my sailors test positive for cocaine. 2 had levels in their urine that indicated they were probably snorting it off the dashboard on their way to work. The third barely popped positive. I called him in and asked for an explanation. He informed me that his girlfriend liked to…

#2 on my list after FAGE, only because I like the texture of it better. It has a different set of bacteria, so I eat it often. The orange ginger flavor is amazing. Their kefir product is really good, has less sugar than Lifeway (except the vanilla flavor that I find too sweet).

Counerpoint: They’ve really committed to cutting costs to save the magazine.

I live where it is flat, salty, and sandy, causing me a lot of grief in keeping the family’s bicycles maintained and relatively rust free. If you aren’t big on bike maintenance and don’t need a lot of different gears, try out a belt drive bike. The belt is toothed plastic (good for 10k miles), so no grease or stains…

You aren’t missing out. The tax breaks don’t come close to covering the costs of raising a child.

The capitalist behemoth WalMart squeezes its suppliers (and its employees) at every opportunity. The suppliers still make money, just not what they would like. It keeps its prices lower than the competition. If that supplier can’t make an item for what WalMart is willing to pay, they may go out of business. That’s…

If you believe the private market is so good and so much more efficient, this shouldn’t possibly be the case.

The cost of providing fire and police services to rural areas is borne by the government, even though it’s not as cost effective (on a people served per fireman or policeman basis). Part of the responsibility of government is to provide necessary services, especially where the private market fails.

I worked on defense/intelligence projects for a number of years. What you are saying is absolutely true, management gets caught up in numbers without context. It gives them something to do, and hopefully, it’s measuring something useful. Unfortunately, useful often means something like, “intercept Bin Laden’s email…

Because you’d rather have a private insurance company that makes more money when it denies you care?

It’s Wisconsin. They might have just left it unlocked. Where I lived, not too far from Green Bay, people left their keys in the car “in case someone needs to move it”

Do they have to share a cell with Sandusky?

I’d argue that they were considered successful because we won a lot more medals than normal with the USSR boycotting the games. For example, the US won a lot of gymnastics medals: we got Mary Lou Retton out of it, but no way does she win gold (or maybe any medal at all) with all of the Soviet Bloc there.

Because you don’t want all of your life’s activities recorded by your bank. Personally, I don’t want my wife to know how often I eat at 5 Guys.

My family makes the “slicks” kind, which seems to be the preferred version where I grew up in Ohio’s Amish country. I asked my mom for the recipe, and it’s basically pie dough, boiled in broth.

Yes, you can still be charged with DUI if you are impared by prescription drugs. Failing a field sobriety test and having detectable drugs in your system is generally enough to be charged. Some states have two separate charges like DUI (meaning alcohol) or DWAI (driving while ability impared, kind of a catch-all for…

God, I love me some cliffhanger. I white-knuckle it when someone only has 4 dollars to spare on their last guess. Nothing, not even spinning 2 consecutive $1.00, or the mystical within $100 of your showcase showdown, is as awesome as someone winning cliffhanger with that dude on the last number.

Fuck Baylor. That is all.
