A high-school buddy of mine does bomb disposal for a PD down in Georgia and he has plenty of stories about real bombs that look like a someone spun a pitchfork in the bargain bin at a local electronics shop and covered the thing in hot glue.
I picked up a book, closed my eyes, and listened as hard as I could, I could hear neither the table of contents nor the index. Random House owes me big-time...
Rollins doesn't even have any political conviction, left or right, he just likes to talk shit about people.
Not having any political convictions could also mean that he actually thinks about the issues instead of blindly parroting what a particular party claims to believe. And you find something wrong with that. Personally, I'd rather discusses issues someone of that sort than with someone who copies all the latest sound bites from whichever political party he favors.

Last year I was sent by my companyr to Connecticut to help repair a Navy sub.
1: As I was going to be there for at least six months, I bought a one-way ticket.
2: I bought it with cash (my company reimbursed me for it on my very next paycheck).
3: I didn't bring any luggage because all work clothing is provided by my employer, and someone who was already there told me that there were a couple of cheap clothing stores nearby (work 16+ hours/day, 7 days/week = doing laundry ain't a happening thing).
In your "RATIONAL" world I'm a prime candidate for a strip-search, deep cavity inspection, and not even a reach-around to show for it. Thanks, but no thanks.
Here's the set-up: A family of astronauts (father, mother, two teenage girls, and boy) get sent out to, let's say, Alpha Centauri for colonization. Just so that their little gene pool has some chance for diversity, let's go ahead and include a strapping young military astronaut. We can even throw in a robot for various domestic chores.
Now, just to stir the pot up a bit, we can have a scientist sneak aboard the ship and reprogram the robot to destroy it while the colonists are in suspended animation, blissfully unaware of their impending doom. What he doesn't know is that while he's busy with the robot, we'll lock the ship's hatch and launch, trapping him aboard with the family. And even if he's able to undo his sabotage, we can be make sure that something on board the ship blows up anyway, leaving them stranded in deep space, fighting for their survival.
The ultimate reality programming, and it's a perfect fit for the NASA channel. Will they survive, or will they be lost in space forever? I'm telling you, it'll be a hit...

And war stories are never exaggerated...
So those evil abortionists are also guilty of making french fries? Those bastards!
(There is supposed to be a Sacmark® here, but my $1.99 check hasn't cleared, yet...)
McAfee has just announced their latest product, Sino-Cyber Protection Suite...
"...Life...Liberty...Pursuit of Happiness..." Nope, can't find it.
Why not? Congress did it...

Dan Glickman, is that you?
And that's a bad thing?
Wooden Nickelback?
JK Rowling wrote the first Harry Potter book in desperation on welfare.
No, she quit her job and wend on the dole so she could write. No desperation involved.
*cough* war on drugs.
Nasty little cough you got there...maybe you should lay off the pot.

Has ANYBODY noticed that these are fairly creepy and somewhat racist images?
Just curious--if they were white Europeans, would you be asking the same question?
Just one drug dealer ratting out another. Move along, nothing to see here...
Anyone who doubts the importance of napster isn't old enough to remember the internet before it came about.
Funny, we always considered Napster to be the AOL of file-sharing, catering to the lowest common denominator.
Unless they're both using iMacs.
He said computers .
Wow, Apple stating on their website that they support human rights. All that proves is that they talk the talk, no more.
No, it's because the spell-checkers on government computers keep replacing "the People" with "Terrorism."

this is the downside to the ban on clubbing
Also, it forced all the douchebags out of the clubs and into public places...

Perhaps you're just a hypochondriac
Heh, my next-door neighbor is a hypochondriac (at least, he thinks he is...)
I'm not saying he doesn't deserve to rot, but come on, just WTF does the TSA, or anyone think they're fooling here?
The general public...and they're buying into it.
