Last night, I found a gift certificate for $100 from LiveLob.com that I had forgotten about winning (from WGN radio last fall), and when I looked at it, I found out it had expired yesterday! Arghh! So, I just called them to see if they'd still let me cash it in, and the operator said "No problem." I ordered two lobster tails from Tristan da Cunha, two pounds of snow crab claws, and two crab cakes for delivery after Thanksgiving. NOM NOM NOM!! (I did end up spending some of my own cash for that order--$100 doesn't go too far with seafood!)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Was the state he was born in a state yet when he was born?
He was born in the Canal Zone. The question is whether or not territories count as natural-born, because there's never been a case that actually defines what exactly "natural-born" means.
Dude! Beaten by Kat's lightning-fast strike-through!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
did Kerry win the popular vote as well as Gore?
Nope.

Really? Where was Andrew Jackson born?
Nevermind. i really should google before I ask.
He was born before the US was the US (1767). There must be someone from that time who was born in a territory before it became a state that went on to be president?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Was the state he was born in a state yet when he was born?
It's even more complicated. He was born in the Panama Canal Zone, which was a U.S. possession at the time but was never a State. And isn't even a U.S. possession any more.

Where was Andrew Jackson born?
He wasn't born in the United States. At the very least, because the United States didn't exist when he was born.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But he was actually born on US military property, right? (Edit: McCain, not Andrew Jackson.) And to two US citizens, so. Moot point, anyway.
Or, of course, a moo point. Like a cow would make!!
I don't think my free coffee was decaf like I asked for.....

Where was Andrew Jackson born?
The OTHER Carolina. I'm sure of it.
(Srsly. Somewhere right near the NC-SC border, but the surveys weren't exactly good at the time, so nobody knows. So I will very generously allow SC to have him.)

Too much caffeine and sugar? WOOOOOOOO!!!!
Of course, what I really need to be doing is my self-evaluation. Or the many things on my to-do list, so that my self-evaluation is better. But whatever.
