Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
But the pure venom about illegals takin' our jobs...in New Hampshire? Really? NEW HAMPSHIRE?
Theodosia beat me to it, but yeah, unless you're talking Franco-Americans (and, really, these days I don't think they are running across the border like they used to), NSM. I know Maine used to have a very large KKK contingent back in the day, but it was the French they were against, for the most part.
World's calmest coinslot (via Mischa Barton).
Then I think a whale tail and coinslot would be mutually exclusive.

Yeah. Unless the whale tail was made of some translucent/sheer material. Or was misaligned.
Shit, I just killed a tick in the house. Now I have to go do a tick check on the kids. *shudder*
I fucking hate ticks.
The fact that Ashcroft was one of the few voices of sanity is disturbing....
Tommyrot, that was a HUGE scandal here in DC. After the acting AG refused to sign, Gonzalez and Card went to Ashcroft's hospital room and tried to get him to sign off on it after he'd had surgery. He also refused, and apparently was quite elegant in his refusal. It got so bad that memfault!in the FBI ordered agents to be sent to Ashcroft's room to make sure that he was not coerced into signing something when he was not lucid.
Thanks, Vortex - I was just thinking I'd heard something about that a few months back, but I wasn't sure if it was the same story or not.
oh, yes, it was made of awesome. Despite the fact that Ashcroft ended up looking kind of heroic (and Tommyrot is totally right in saying that if Ashcroft thinks that your shit is shady, it is sha-day.), it really underscored the level of sleaze in the White House.

Yeah, I remember that part of the story, but I think the allegation that Ashcroft was ultimately forced out over this issue is new. I think.
Yes, you're right, Tommy. I just wanted to rehash it because I revel in the administration getting busted in such a way that no one could really argue.
Here's a Post article about it: [link]
