The hilly swaths of highway around Scranton, Pennsylvania, run thick with Wal-Mart trucks.
...
I started visiting Scranton on weekends in September. My wife had gone there on a day trip from New York, to volunteer for John Kerry, and decided to stay and do whatever needed to be done, which pretty soon meant that she was helping to run the Lackawanna County Democrats' office for six weeks.
Having a family member who had coronary bypass surgery a week before Christmas one year, I can readily believe this.
That coupled with the fact that people are put under more and more stress in the month leading up to the holidays, and then are more likely to engage in unhealthy activities right around the holidays.
"If bloggers are powerful enough to take down a TV news anchor, I'd imagine that a concerted effort to choke off distribution sources would be successful as well."
I’m starting to regard unmaintained comment areas as the online equivalent of letting old automobile tires lie around in your back yard, collecting stagnant water where mosquitoes breed.
The very notion that you ought to be even tempted to send a message to Susan Sontag by voting for Bush. (Really, this is crude telecommunication technique. Just putting on your tinfoil hat to amplify your thoughtwaves would be comparatively sensible.)
"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention puts out its first study of holiday decorating injuries. Americans fall off chairs while trimming trees. They tumble off roofs while hanging lights. Side effects of holiday cheer send about 5,800 people to the emergency room each year."
I know this method of meeting single women seems a little silly, but try it. It works like a charm for my friend and it can work for you too.
Or, it could make you look like the biggest dork on earth. It could go either way, I think it's important to stress that risk. heh.
And I say this even though I'm kinda inta puppets.
This so reminds me of playing The Sims. For The Sims it does seem as if using hand puppets is an intregal part of courtship. hah.
1) If the driver so wishes, he/she may institute the Survival Of The Fittest Rules on the process of calling Shotgun. In this case all rules, excepting 1.8, are suspended and the passenger seat is occupied by whoever can take it by force.
I've seen my friends who are sisters institute this.
If the passenger with shotgun is caught forgetting their duties and makes the car listen to commercials and/or bad music, then his privilege can be lost.
"Because this commercial touches on the exclusion of gay couples and other minority groups by other individuals and organizations," reads an explanation from CBS, "and the fact the Executive Branch has recently proposed a Constitutional Amendment to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman, this spot is unacceptable for broadcast on the [CBS and UPN] networks."
So proposed discrimination against gays regarding marital laws by 'the Executive Branch' means that CBS feels it must oppose any non-discrimination against anyone by religious organizations.
