They should ship refrigerators with a drawer marked "Lobsters". The best way to cook lobsters in a kitchen is to heat a flat iron pan. Butter it. Then quickly insert a knife behind the head and cut through the head cutting it in two. Then quickly turn the knife 180 degrees and cut the lobster in two along the same lines. Then put both pieces on the grill and cook. Quickly pull off the claws and set them next to the lobster to cook them at the same time.

Window washers tie in hard to the rope and descend from the roof using a rap rack on the same rope They also typically use a prussik below that as a backup and have a second prussik chord they can use if they need to lock off and rerig the rack. The ultimate safety point is the hard tie in on the same rope. The rope is supposed to be set up so the guy can't deck. In this case that worked.

Instead of tax cuts they might have put some of that money aside to even out revenue streams during the next downturn. When you rely on sales tax for revenues, you really need to come up with a strategy for dealing with the business cycel.

It's at least quite goat-like.

Could just be that there are so many homosexual priests that a) it's not a predictor of likelihood to abuse, b) the vast majority of abuses cases are against boys, and c) the vast majority of abusers were homosexuals.

A modest proposal: mandate that it is illegal for insurance companies to fully cover treatments for chronic diseases that affect over x% of the population. Force insurers to charge significant copays for Statins and high blood pressure meds. Stop forcing the rest of us to pay for what is more or less a routine living expense by virtue of living in a country where health coverage is provided through nearly unregulated local monopolies.

I'd be fine with that provided the Chinese can come up with a way to serve them deep fried and alive.

Nov 17 kinaidos commented on The Quotable Sarah Palin.

She's obviously an avid reader of David Hume. "Suppose that there is a natural, universal, invariable language, common to every individual of human race; and that books are natural productions, which perpetuate themselves in the same manner with animals and vegetables, by descent and propagation."
