I think they denature or poison the commercial seeds, so you gotta grow your own.

Yeah,. It's kind of a pain in the ass, but then again it's a pain in the ass for everybody, and as a result we collectively reduce our chances of getting crispy during fire season.

And what would that good excuse be?

A waste of a pigs head by the pig headed. Kind of ironic and a whole lot of stupid.

What are these inspections of which you write?

I'm not saying you're mistaken, just that his "doctorate" seems "fishy" (that's a xtian joke) to me.

I do not think it means what they think it means . . .

Dust Bowl

While I may be from Texas, I have strong roots in Oklahoma. I graduated from OK State and still have family in the state. Part of Oklahoma's issue is that they have the casinos which alienates communities not near the reservation. They have also suffered the boom-bust economy of the oil and natural gas industry and the unpredictability of farming several times in my life. Right now it's a boom with fracking.

The larger problem is a lot of Oklahoma is like Texas post LB Johnson for older folks. I remember my dad (from Bartlesville) tell me that the GOP was the Party of the Bankers and Democrats was the Party of the N-word. I still remember my Mom telling me that was wrong as a young child. To this day, even in liberal bastion Austin, I still here these words. When will we let this go?

If it helps you, I feel your pain.

So, in most disciplines, to successfully achieve a Ph.D., you are expected to produce some original work in your field of study. The amount of originality may not be very large (it could be, for instance, a <i>different</i> proof of something that is already known to be true), but it is crucial.

How the hell do you get a "Doctorate" in the Old Testament?

Oh, you tractorettes. I only have an acre, so a tractor would be a (highly desirable) extravagance.

You know, Wonkette did just have a meet-up in Michigan....that simply CAN'T be a coincidence.

Oh man, I saw her with Pink Martini at the Kennedy Center a while back. She was filling in for their female lead singer who was out with vocal cord problems. She has serious pipes! And she came out in a slinky Hollywood starlet gown that, well, just . . . wow . . .

Okay, now I am not Neilist (by a long shot *badoink*) , but if my metric conversions are correct, a .40 cal Glock is, in fact, a 10 mm Glock, which is the kind of thing you take hiking if you're worried about encountering wild boars, not rampaging air-conditioning ducts.

Also, to have an "accidental discharge" with any pistol, you pretty much have to have it cocked, and you certainly must have a round in the chamber.

Actually, this is a feel-good story, because the fucking moron didn't hurt or kill somebody else. Yay.
