Rand is so proud of himself when he makes a legislation in his pants

New product line! GOPampers, extra strong leg bands to contain their "Legislation", it even includes a deodorizer insert for those really smelly "Legislative Proposals" they keep trying to pass but don't seem to be able to get out.

Just when I begin to look and compare and start to think maybe Ayn Rand Paul might not be so bad, he goes and does a double back flip into a pile of bullshit.

There's a legislator who repeatedly puts for legislation containing his wife's name, Lu. SAFETY=LU is the one I know. Some transportation bill. The "LU" stands for "a Legacy of Use". WTF? I forget the rest.I think it's something that they make the interns do, personally. But I'm with you on FUCKOFF.

Indeed. But maybe what we need is a squad of barbers, in a van, ready to give haircuts to anyone who needs it like these fellows do. Once they no longer carry the burden of "crazy hair" they wont feel the need to do something to releave the pressure. Plus, a good heart-to-heart with a good practitioner of headology will help, also, to.

She was so lovely. I whipped up a caftan - similar to her wedding dress - to dazzle my then boyfriend. He was no Pierre - and pretty much told me I'd better get changed. I also remember when he was caught mouthing, "Fuck off" to a couple of MPs, then when pressed on it, asked, "What are they, a couple of lip readers, or something?"

You could be a Conservative in those days and not be ashamed of it. Robert Stanfield and Flora McDonald were both great Canadians and would have been great leaders. The War Measures Act was a nightmare. I was in residence in first year at UBC by then and there was a crisis on campus that almost mirrored, in a small way, what was going on in Quebec. Pierre was the last Liberal I voted for.

What grade do you teach? Both of my kids went to Lester. B. Pearson (there must be a couple of them in Canada), but I don't remember them learning about Pierre or the War Measures Act in school.

Grade 10. I spend a couple of weeks on post-1967. Mind you, I appear to be an exception among history teachers, since although they are supposed to get to 2000 or so, they get bogged down in the wars and never make it to the end of the curriculum. It's called planning, people!

Flora was all kinds of awesome. And when she died Stephen Harper could barely be bothered to acknowledge her passing or career. October 19 was a wonderful night.

I had excellent English and history teachers in high school. They made me a life-long learner. Grade 10 is such an important year. It was then that my son decided he'd spent enough of his time playing video games in his friend's basement and that he wanted to do something with his life.

I find that for males, they start grade 10 as boys and emerge at the end of June as young men.
