You have someone squirt a lime in your eye, you snort salt, and then you drink the shot of tequila.
What happened to snorting Hot Damn?

What happened to snorting Hot Damn?
Weather experts -- are the Santa Ana winds characteristically hot? Last week, the winds were scalding. And then the fires came. Now they're much cooler, but strong enough to knock you around.
Infamous for it, which is why they're known to bring the crazy along with the fires.
So these are either not Santa Ana winds, or weird ones, then.
No. Once you're done you have someone kick you in the ass really hard.
Then disinfect the wounds with the remaining lime and salt.
All Things Considered, October 4, 2005 · A federal court in New York has ruled that the Salvation Army may hire and fire employees according to their religious beliefs -- even though it receives most of its money for social services from the government. The ruling earlier this week is considered a major court victory for the Bush administration.
Can someone explain to me how this is even remotely legal?
Probably because the Salvation Army is a church. It's not what it is best known for, but it is a church first and foremost, with an emphasis on social work. How are they receiving the bulk of their money from the government? Is that the faith-based initiative stuff? I'd like to know which employees it means, and where the money goes.

George Bush says so. This is part of his faith-based initiative stuff - to give religious groups the right to discriminate in hiring even though they receive federal funds.

...to provide government services.
Gah. I got lots of work to do so I don't have time to look into this:
Politicians in West Midlands banned the display of toy pigs and other pig-related items in municipal offices as a result of a single complaint from a Muslim. Among the banned items were piggy banks, novelty pig calendars and a tissue box featuring Winnie the Pooh and Piglet.
...
This latest incident is just part of an ongoing initiative by some Muslims to force British society to conform to Islamic standards. Declaring the images of pigs to be offensive and anti-Muslim is the tactic of the day - and it appears to be coming along very well.
Previous U.K. successes include banning a 100 year old statue of a wild boar, police seizure of porcelain pigs displayed in the window of a private home, and the removal of a sign referring to "pork" at a British pub frequented by butchers.
Along with Winnie the Pooh, some British schools have also removed or restricted the following "anti-Muslim" children's books...
The Three Little Pigs
Charlottes Web
Babe - The Sheep-pig
Cars and Trucks and Things That Go
Olivia Saves the Circus
Animal Farm
Huh.
I can't find any news or info on the salvation army case anywhere, but it could be based on the right to expressive association.
