Slam state employees for not wanting to get entirely screwed (again) by Gregoire, check.
Slam grocery worker voting, yeah they're just like good communists, check
Slam a state agency for wanting to hire an American to a US government job, check.
@ 3 -- I wasn't sure you were a troll until you defended dismissing the Canadian stem cell guy.
@ 5 -- It's by Jon Ronson, right? I do like his work. His piece on ICP earlier this fall was hilarious.
@ 7 -- Shh, they don't like you to question orthodoxy.
@ Canuck -- My pleasure! I hope to be a Canadian some day, too.
Why, I bet that almost all of those arrested were "People of Color"!!!!
Dominic will be outraged!!!!!

Police crack down on drug dealers in sweep of Pike-Pine corridor
Seattle police launched "Operation Grinch" in October, an undercover effort to get gang members and drug dealers off downtown streets in anticipation of the holiday shopping season.
"Thirteen of 27 targets identified as part of "Operation Grinch" are confirmed gang members, mostly from Rainier Valley, the Central Area and West Seattle"
But disqualifying a Canadian for a job here in the US (outside of US president as dictated by the Constitution) is wrong. They're good people, their schools are excellent, and personally, I admire the balance they keep (or seem to keep) with their work/family.
As Carl Sagan said, "they also laughed at Bozo the Clown."
Maybe an American-only requirement is a bit harsh, how's about just copying what they do?
@ 14 -- When was the last time you went to Canada? Go to Granville Street in Vancouver on a Saturday night and tell me they are boring.
@ Fox -- If you'd done anything substantive to "prove" me wrong, you might have a point. You are still soooo butthurt that I won't just take my medicine and admit that the Democrat caucus of the Imperialism and Death Party has a monopoly on truth. Get over it.
@ Canuck -- Indeed. Everything I've read indicates that it's not easy on either side of the border. And the mobility of labor provisions in NAFTA are a sad joke.
@ Roma -- Amen!
Indeed, Unpaid Intern, Granville Street is rockin' on a Saturday night. Had the unparalleled experience of seeing Spandy Andy's street show last time I was there, although my preferred place to stay is on Davie Street, quite "neighbourhoody" and a little quieter for hotel residents than Granville. And @14, if you do go to Vancouver, as Intern Matt suggests, you might see my son doing magic tricks on Granville Island in his platform shoes and bowler hat (in his off hours), he has red hair and multiple tattoos, and in those shoes is about 6' 7"...I can assure you, he's not boring, although there are times his mother wishes he were...
In my opinion, you can make a case for allowing three people, say, to all get married to each other. There still should be laws against one person getting separate marriages to multiple people.
venomlash, you mean "separate" as in the people not knowing about each other? In a polygamous arrangement where, say, three people were married, I'd assume they wouldn't all get married at the same time, that there would be an initial marriage with a second, "separate" marriage once another person was found.
Sure, why not. Horses and sheep too (including GLBT horses and sheep.)
I see some commenters are starting to pity you. Congratulations, for whatever pity is worth.
Canhag.
I believe Venomlash is speaking of situations where one man marries ten women and has twenty-six children.
This is outlawed for a reason. Non of the children and wives receive proper attention or money and when the man dies there is always a section of the folks who are left out in the cold.
Your asking me a question with no answer.
There is always children involved in theses situations. That is the main argument for keeping it illegal. You cannot prohibit people from breeding because that breaks our constitutional rights. When you see someone in the news who is being arrested for polygamy it's usually because all of their wives are collecting government support as single mothers.
It's a giant clusterfuck and the best solution is to make it illegal.
Can you show me an example of your polygamist situation that was successful? If you haven't noticed, marriage is a failing norm that young people are leaving behind.
They're right that you ned to constrict what you put into a morning post. I, like many other people, have a very short attention span before my morning cup of coffee.
Good eye on the Starbucks thing. Good eye! You sure figured that out good, didn't you?
Have you seen Martin Scorsese's doc on HBO about Fran, Public Speaking? She's still hilarious, and I adore listening to her riff on everything...even smoking. Don't know if it's showing on HBO Canada and because of international copyright blah blah blah you might not be able to watch the clips, but here is the website:

And speaking of New York, Elaine Kaufman died yesterday. Wow...she was 81. I'm getting old.
And it was pretty shocking, the whole immigration thing, I had no idea it would be like that. He had been offered a teaching job, and was working the whole time we were trying to sort it out, and I'm a US citizen by birth, so we thought it would be a slam dunk, but no. And yeah, I think the tiny corner of Wyoming where we lived housed the state's 7 democrats. Alas, as it was my last US place of residence, it's where I'm registered to vote, and you can bet those 3 electoral college votes are always republican! And thanks for the invite, right about now I start wistfully thinking of warmer places a little further south...sigh (it's only a balmy -5c right now, so I guess I shouldn't complain... :)
There is this thing in the heart of the TARDIS that I dropped there a few centuries ago. Could you climb down there and get it? I would, but it would kill me but I think your libertarian ideals will protect you........
