(sorry my insulting namecalling shit talking skills are low today)

Other than dawdling on who gets to do business with Iran, wondering aloud which parts of Serbia to break off and declare a state, which rules to drop on Moldava for possible EU membership, and a general malaise about creeping fundamentalist violence, what is it again, sMack that your forceful brave wonderous Eurocrats have actually accomplished recently.

Extra points for not using "You suck" in your answer, thanks.

Our 'moral betters' in Europe seem all over the lot, drunk and disorderly too, right now. The whole set stage seemed, well, pointless.

And at this point the quality of the food is less important than the quality of the service. Don't make me wait, don't call everyone in my party "You Guys", don't hover, don't talk too fast, don't ignore me, don't mess up the order, don't chatter.

My dick is a Harley

You kick it to start

Do they mean a USB A/B or mini A/B connector port type on the phone? Do they mean any connector port that attaches to a cable with the custom port on one end and a USB port on the other? Do they mean only a USB electrical interface that carries current?

Seems to me that best thing they could do is simply stipulate a standard pole type power connector into the phone regardless. Because even a mini A/B port on a phone might be too large for some phones. Samsung today has phones that have a custom port that's used for a Samsung charger or a data cable, and, a standard pole type power connector for any other kind of pole type charger. The pole type power connector still can't be used as a data port so all those phone companies are free to use custom data ports. Of course 99% of the phones out there don't have software that actually exists and rarer still is a cable you can buy which is why bluetooth will become the defacto data interface standard so perhaps it won't matter, as long as you have a PC with a bluetooth adapter.

In the movie Being There the retarded gardiner, Chance, was treated as a genius for his sphinx zen cryptic nonsense. People projected into his utterances whatever they liked. And since it was always a reflection of their own ego it was always brilliant.

David Chase did precisely the same thing to you.

He is killing the sport. One way or another Super Nanny Bike Helmet in the bathtub David Stern is going to kill the NBA.

You need the eye holes to keep from bumping your head.

About the quaint and interesting customs of far off indigenous peoples. After all this is Salon.com. America sucks, Israel sucks. Viva La Revolucion!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was slowly degrading to near unusability the past 2 weeks but as of today Salon.com is actually unusable.

Just like the founding fathers intended. A ruling class of wealthy gentry to guide with a firm hand, the lives of we great unwashed.

Rich people can afford to have morals. Good one, Smurf. I'll mention that to my wife's cousin who wrote a $40 million dollar check to the State of New York as a penalty for securities fraud.

I could make bamboo bicycles and sell a few of them, I guess. I'm not sure what the point of it would be though.

She could have a weekly column @ Salon.com.

He's simply in thrall to his own autocratic love of himself. Gee if I wanted to live in Venezuela I'd move there.

That's pretty much what Mike Bloomberg will be remembered for other than the man the who paid $88/vote of his own money to rule over the serfs of New Yawk.

That's hawt.

I did, but I figured that it would be a car crash, OD, shot by 'lover'. Didn't count on jail house suicide.

Viva La Revolucion !!!

Because musicians are better at cross media marketing plug ins, 'acting', game shows and blubbering about the 'state' of rock than they are at actually producing anything. Rap and R+B understands this in that they don't bother to produce 'music' at all. It's just a vehicle for product endorsement, E!, and those hysterically rare 'acting' endeavors like DMX's Oscar worthy performances. Fact is, no one wants to see 50 year old white guys endorsing beer, condoms or aftershave.

Is that that banner ad is THE most resource hungry ad Salon has ever hosted. And given the fluky IE centric and slow nature of Salon, that's saying a lot.

And then pontificates about how he is smarter than anyone else on Earth.

"Are We Rome?" And now this? Just go to Italy already, Gary.

And that's what I gather you folks mean, because the eastern Empire lasted until 1204 and Constantinople the city survived another 250 years. But if you mean the Western Roman Empire, factors such as plague and famines played a huge roll. Italy is a sub tropical place and malaria, smallpox and yellow fever were big and long term problems. The fact that Rome was one of the largest urban concentrations in the world at that time only accelerated that long slide. In fact one of the reasons that the Emperor moved the administrative capital from Rome to Milan in 293 and then to Ravenna in 402 was for public health reasons to escape the fetid disease that plagued metropolitan Rome.

The Marines are a department of the Navy. So are the SEALs.
