What kind of a country is that--no military, gay marriage, bath-temperature water at its palm-fringed beaches, a quarter of the land set aside for parks and nature reserves.

Oh yeah: the good kind. <i>¡Pura Vida!</i>

Oh good grief, I think I saw that movie. Except for Vladi.

I'd like to see him kicked where it starts.

No, I'm not sure what that means either.

Kokesh / Koresh -- just coincidence?

Yeah, because David Koresh could get followers.

Makes sense, except for the "we". Who's the imaginary, equally-imbecilic friend?

That guy is in serious need of getting laid.

HEY! He didn't say "with votes".

Secession is just another way of being an America-hating traitor. Maybe he'd rather live in Cuba with Bette Midler.

This should work about as well as Osama Bin Laden's plan to persuade the West to renounce religious freedom and capitalism by blowing up shit and slaughtering innocent people.

Not much tolerance for wingnut foolishness today. I have serious need of Friday Nice Time, being as how I slept only a few hours after traveling for 25 or so hours back from Italy, where Mrs Lot_49 remains and I am desolate. "Seatback entertainment" is all but oxymoronic, the sole exception being three available episodes of "Californication."

Not that much fun, I can tell ya from experience. Terrifically underpowered, clunky Powerglide-like automatic transmissions, and not enough flat space to lie down for a nap.

The Founding Fathers had been through an armed revolution and didn't want another. So they made revolution part of the Constitution: The entire House of Representatives stands for election every two years. Sometimes that works: For better or worse (it's worse), 2010 was a vivid reminder of that.

it’s a tale told by a winger, full of Revolution and Wolverines, signifying nothing.

Or a Moscow airport lounge w/you-know-who. I'll bet it's possible to get tired of vodka at some point. This is why gin is better.

Yeah I'd recommend yoga classes. They can teach him some nice breathing techniques, too.

I wish these people would go back to setting the lawn at General Mills on fire with flaming cheerios. They were onto something good there.

Thanks for the good wishes. It's a regular thing; the Mrs has family'n'stuff over there. Luckily there are Paz Vega <a href="http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0254455\/" target="_blank">movies </a>on Netflix to tide me over.
