I like a mix of butter and shortening, but I'm pending final judgment until I've tried CI's vodka crust.
Oh! My aunt used that for her pies this Thanksgiving. SO GOOD!
One of you is gonna fall and die, and I'm not cleaning it up!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
In my more paranoid moments I suspect that the reason we're still "debating" is that there's a bunch of folks who just want to believe that global warming doesn't matter because God will rapture them all off to heaven and leave the rest of us to suffer through the hell on earth we created.

Global warming produces fucked up weather not necessarily just hot weather, no?
I believe that's why many people use "global climate change" these days.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm not sure that's so paranoid, Burrell -- that particular crazy isn't all of climate change denial, but it's a part of it.
(edited because megan is wise on climate change vs. warming)

Perhaps I should clarify. In my more paranoid moments I suspect that such people currently occupy the White House.

I wonder how many people are going to start dismissing global warming because it snowed in NOLA.
OH, yeah, they'll say, "But hte earth's gone through ice ages before, and really, how long have we had good weather data? It's nothing."

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Fortunately, the new people in charge don't seem to be bullshitty about such things.
I don't know how you folks with little ones resist the urge to scream, sometimes. All I have is my niece and nephew, and Grace and Noah for wee ones who I love to pieces, and when I let myself think about the steaming pile of shit they're inheriting, my rage is not unlike the sun in its nuclear hot fury.

I don't like it when I find out that I may have to do even more Christmas shopping on top of all the Christmas shopping I haven't done.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

why is it that in the area of screwing up the world Bush decided to become an overachiever?
