There are civilian border patrols in Texas and Arizona. I think Arizona is more serious about it because they seem to have the worst of the drug problems. Most of the people who cross the border here in Texas are just looking for labor jobs. Most people here have no problem with that. Do you...

The explanation was from my own information and resources, but thanks anyway. I only breezed through what Spike posted and it seemed to support what I had tried to explain. I don't expect anyone to take my word for the explanation. I expect them to do their own research to see that I am...

It's gone... and dispersed... and some of it has moved to the marshes.

Ah, the trolling continues. Carry on, trolls. :roll2:

I spent yesterday morning (actually until 1:30 PM) weeding the garden and laying down new compost and mulch. I only got to the asparagus and pepper beds. I always forget that I use muscles I don't normally use when I weed and now the back of my thighs hurt as well as my butt muscles. It's like I...

Heh... I found out that Ford increased the base price for the Ford Escape Hybrid. I paid $23K for mine in 2007. Now it's $30K, but that might be a negotiable price.

Congrats! With all the driving you seem to do you should be able to save some money on gasoline. I hope you enjoy the hybrid. I like my Ford Escape Hybrid.

(I thought we had a thread already but I couldn't find it.) As The Drug War Rages On, Will Mexico Surrender? This was an excellent story I heard this morning on NPR. On the one hand, I understand the strategy to give up The War On Drugs in Mexico. I am torn as to whether this is the right...

Radio personality endorsement is a common marketing strategy. This is a good example: Personal endorsement spot radio is an effective way to reach consumers Goldline picked Glenn Beck and threw money at him. This has been a profitable arrangement for both. Did anyone know who Glenn Beck was...

Thanks! I've added it to my Netflix queue. I could "Watch Instantly" if I can find some time this weekend. Nice! That is a common misconception and I would not fault you for the mistake. I've read books that explain this in excellent details. The Nazi's used Nationalsozialist in their party...

This would be because Americans are superior to the British. I believe this was proven when we handed them their ass during the Revolution, and when we rescued them in WWII. 'Nuff said. Of course, there are exceptions to that rule... 0_o ... which is evident in your continued failure to...

OK... let me explain this scenario in as few and simple words as possible. You have been given 50 cents by your mom to spend. You want to buy a candy bar (priced at 50 cents) at the corner store. You give your mom 25 cents. You now have 25 cents left to spend, but the candy bar is still 50...

Oh, sweet... a thread just for the trolls. :moon:

I have posted this before and here it is if you want to know what the US deficit was at any particular date (to the day)... Debt to the Penny Total public debt outstanding on January 19, 2009: $ 10,628,881,485,510.23 This is what was inherited on January 20, 2009 by the current...

How many kids of which sex did your wife have?

Not to mention race mixin'! Keep them dirty nigra boys away from the white women!

Crikey! I hope you're joking! That's a hellofa lot of soda in one day. I'm sure there's no HFCS in the diet coke. It's used as a sweetener but would definitely not qualify as "diet." Food, Inc had a good section on corn. I wish I could remember all the different names the refined corn products...

I fully support your choice to slowly defile your health and the health of your offspring with unhealthy food. It is not my business, nor the business of our shared government, to make that choice for you. Here, enjoy this 2 liter bucket of HFCS laden soda and a bag of HFCS laden candy. If...

This IS good news. This is exactly what the Founding Fathers had intended: no majority to impose laws restricting the rights of a minority.

The tax rebate was implemented by Bush (as a political ploy). Then he handed out a big dump truck load of cash (no strings attached) to the banks.
