On a train. But it only killed two people. Ah for the nostalgia of rail travel.

Amazing how 5 dozen bus bombings in an equally historic city aka Jerusalem doesn't eek out a paen or two.
Boo Hiss. Boycott, etc etc ...
Do you watch Larry Kudlow? Not only aren't we in a recession but things have never been better. And they could be better still if only we did away with all taxes and regulations completely. I for one would be happy to listen to someone make a cogent argument in favor of reinstating slavery, or indentured servitude in the least.
It's just media heads screaming to do what they are paid to do.
Consumer prices are where they were 6 months ago, or higher. Rents are higher, food is higher, clothing is higher, health care is higher. The only thing that's not higher is fuel, nat gas, heating oil.
So if all the retailers want to piss and moan then they should consider lowering their prices. This is precisely why Wal*Mart is doing well now. This is precisely why Starbucks stock is in the toilet. People need bargains.
If it does then she'll be the darling of the retarded rubber chicken speaking circuit. She'll have Bishop Voodoo on one hand and a gaggle of pregnant teens praising Jayzus on the other.
It will be classic Robert Altman.
Seriously, so?
But under ninny nanner parental law 41-510-1B sec Q it is a felony to ever let your child play let alone be out of your site. Did you know there are 1 million child rapists per 5 year old in America today? And some of them are cannibals.
It's not the people who commit these acts. It's the US, the west, capitalism, the Jews, and just about everything else accomplished in the last 90 years or so. THAT's the root of all evil. In fact I would hope to see people in the US doing mass violence like this as the only sane act of resistance against The Man. As long as you have a flag, a manifesto and Christiane Amanpour on speed dial, you're not a terrorist, you're a freakin PEACE movement.
There's a clear difference between refusal and being free to nag you. If nagging worked you wouldn't have gotten knocked up in the first place. But now of course it's a crime against humanity.
Oh the irony.
Obambots sat home drunk and sated after November and couldn't be bothered to come out in droves. Oh well, rhetorical wins count for something I guess. Who needs real progress, that's a lot of work.
Unless you plan on being very ill you are screwed. What is all this nonsensical bullshit about retirement? How long do you plan on being retired? 25 years? You think you can fund 25 years? Well you can't. So people aren't going to cash out at 60 like their parents generation, buy that house in Florida and go fishing and play golf for another quarter century. Not unless you're a multimillionaire today. If you are 50 now you should expect to work full time through 70 and part time for another 5 years health permitting.
Why? Because the readers here in their 20's and 30's now are expecting you to take care of them at least that long. They're too busy writing to Cary Tennis about whether they should take 5 years off to stare at coral reefs in the south Pacific or whether they should get that MFA from Smith.
You WILL remain working. Or you WILL be eating dogfood. Or you WILL die early.
Dylan is a terrible interview.
Your pet needs a pet.
There there, don't be a sulking pirate. We'll bake some brownies and have a trust and team building exercise.
Shoulda just conceded way back when, is what you're saying.
Freely, no questions asked, no medical checks at all? I would be fine with that.
Indentured Servitude is an idea that needs to be freshened up for the new millennium. The liberals will love it because it will put everyone to work. The conservatives will love it because it's low cost.
When you're lower middle class the proper tag for this illness is habitual criminal.
Is made out of recycled trash. Then I hang it with little yellow stars.
No one complained when they were making too much money on their homes, two years ago.
I tried to walk to the north pole.
Pull the MacBooks in a circle and protect the women and children. Zombie Apocalypse gonna get ugly.
Stop blaming the people who voted for him and start blaming the lack of people who didn't. Everyone who's ever had a pulse knows the basic rubric that low voter turnout favors the GOP. You guys really pissed this one away.
The state that can't add two ballots together and get 2? Be still my heart. What are the odds of a truly inspired wobbler that winds up in a razor thin recount. And as we know, all ties go to the Republican.
My 2009 'benefits' cost rose 15% for the 9th year in a row.
You better do it for me and everyone else.
Not because she knows they need it but because she feels that IF they do, when they do, there won't be anything left.
In the secret moonbase where JFK and Tupac live.
A cookbook.
Imagine the screedoriffic columns here had he won the election.
