Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I was also a make-believe herbalist. I spent a lot of time pretending I was a pioneer, when I wasn't playing Tarzan and Jane or Flash Gordon.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Cash, I did not mean to be dismissive at all.
I didn't think YOU were dismissive, Ab! I just happen to have picked up a few articles that were discussing her books critically and wanted a buffista perspective. I figured someone would have read her stuff and could give me an idea before I went off and bought the books.
The biggest criticism seems to be that her generalities can lead to stereotyping and "blaming the victim" type of behavior. The idea that we can "fix" poor people is more attractive that, oh, say, fixing the classist system that penalizes people for being poor.
I don't want to delve too deeply into the psychology of the subject but just get a quick read of some theory of the cycle of poverty.

Ball-peen hammers are actually very common as household death implements...I read this book called "What Cops Know" and they featured quite prominently. I know you needed to know that.

I suspect erika's reading list would scare the shit out of me.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I would think claw hammers were much more common.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I forget the type of hammer featured in this week's Dexter, but it was neither ball-peen nor claw, to my recollection.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The problem with the claw hammer is that the claw will get stuck in the skull.
You don't want penetration on a traumatic head blow. You want a peen.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Latest swine flu rumor I heard on the internet: Donald Rumsfeld is invested in the companies making the vaccine, and he's stirring up fear of the flu so that he can make a profit on the vaccine. Also, in Canada, the population being hit most severely by the flu is First Nations, so it must be some sort of genocide conspiracy.
