you'd better be sure there are no skeletons in your OWN closet first

Limbaugh can't live up to that standard, he's just trying to intimidate people from publishing the indelicate truths about him that they find. "We'll find out where your kids go to school"? That's not digging dirt, that's threatening his children with the implication of physical harm. That's what the mob does. That's what terrorists do.

The "man" is a coward and a bully who has so many skeletons he's had to rent an entire storage warehouse 'cause his closets were overflowing. He's been casting stones his entire career, real ones, twisted ones and ones he's simply made up and now he insists that if anyone dares throw one back, even factual ones, they'd best be without sin themselves? This is hypocracy on a multitude of levels, though Rush being a hypocrite is hardly surprising.

Look, if people using bluetooth headsets annoy you, or people talking into their cellphones loudly do the same, there's something you can do that will annoy them back and amuse you at the same time. I've done this with people that use that annoying cell-speakerphone, beeping, walkie-talkie thing. That worst-idea-of-the-century phone by Nextel.

Insert yourself into their conversation. They've declared that the whole world needs to hear them, they're implicitly inviting you to take part. If they ask a question, answer it! If they make a statement, follow it up! At worst, they argue with you and you can tell them what you think of their behavior. At best, they leave or hang up.

This is what the good parts of globalization are supposed to do! The other parts of the world are in theory supposed to start catching up and the motivations for outsourcing are supposed to dwindle. If India is finally starting to become a truly prosperous nation it'll be good for both the USA and India.

Of course he can't remember what he was doing back then. At the time he was either drunk off his ass or coked up.

I don't know where you've been staying, but the hotels I stay at regularly leave my towels alone if I hang them up after use. In fact, on my recent trip to Japan, we were offered a discount coupon for a resturant in the hotel if we agreed to not have our room made up one day, so we did save money.

As far as all the brochures, I agree they're silly, but I don't think I've ever had them get in the way. Most are flat or sitting on surfaces I'm not going to use, like the top of the TV.

In 2000: 2,883,105

Tenn went for Bush by 300,000 and NC by 400,000. That's in 2004

In 2000, TN only went for Bush by 80,000.

If conservative voters split off or are upset the candidate, the state could indeed swing blue, though it'd likely be close. And that's not taking into consideration a recession.

I was fortunate enough to find my cat as a stray in a motel parking lot when she was a tiny kitten. I hate the thought of dealing with people like this, many of whom seem to be in the position because they like the power and enjoy being judgemental rather than because they love animals. They are just another branch of the "conservative" idiots who want to tell you how to live your life while trying to claim Republicans want government out of your life.

Even your descriptions of your animals belie your insanity

And your previous posts belie your insanity. I guess it is a wash there.

Who said they wanted to make money? They want to tell you how to live. That's the "Values" branch of the conservatives. You haven't been paying much attention these last few decades, have you?

Probably explains why PETA

PETA is a different version of the same group of whackjobs.

Why should we complain or give him props? He's explicity stated he doesn't give a shit if we like his topics or how he writes about them. In fact, he gets all giddy like a schoolgirl if we do get upset or want him to write about something else or treat this column like he's a professional instead of like any other blogger out there. At this point I read the letters column to see how many times in a row W.E.S. can post or to see what some other letter writers might say. I glance at his column now and again, I just don't care as much about what he says. At this point in his career he's just recycling anyway.

If he can't manage to get those two names straight, how the hell can he be qualified to be president? Oh no! I vetoed that bill? I meant to sign it! Nooooooo!

But that a company can not only survive but thrive without buying into the Redmond model of development, that's now obvious. These numbers prove it.

They prove it? You mean Apple's sales of computers increasing after they begin to be able to run Windows proves they can "thrive without buying into the Redmond model of development"? That's an odd conclusion. Especially as they sold 2.2 million and just the two largest Windows Machine sellers sold 9.3 million over the same period.

So as a (very) conservative estimate Mac sold 1/5th the number of PCs after changing so they could run Windows and this is seen as proof they can go their own way?
