So now, after years of confiscating all of Libya's oil money, the Jews are paying Gadhafi? Has Calypso Louie been informed of this recent change?

She uses "oeuvre" more than once! That means she's smart!

I don't think I've heard that word in over 20 years. I think my high school freshman English teacher used it once.

I believe that light rail exists because the elitist snobs won't lower themselves to ride the bus with the riff-raff. Both San Jose and Phoenix put most of their track on existing roads that could have been served by buses without the expensive installation of rails.

If you're writing about Olbermann, you should assign a keyboard macro to "Olbermann was wrong about" to save time. He's worse than a stopped clock.
Does anyone wonder how profitable his show is? I realize NBC has made "low production costs and few viewers" a cornerstone of their broadcast schedule, but there are limits.

I live in Arizona and the weekend Masses I attend are typically at the hottest times of the day. Despite the pastor's reminders to dress appropriately, during the summer, I frequently wear a t-shirt, shorts and sandals to Mass.

Contrast this to a Mass I attended in my east coast home parish Church. The young mother sitting in front of me wore a top that didn't go all the way down to her waist, and hip-hugger bottoms. As we knelt and bowed our heads to pray, I had to avert my eyes to avoid staring at the "tramp stamp" tattoo on her lower back.

I remembered that Houston was interested in hosting an Olympics, and I found this: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/ archive/2002/09/03/BA159604.DTL

Houston wanted to bid for the 2012 Olympics, but in 2002, failed to make the U.S.O.C.'s short list for selection to be the U.S. candidate. (New York was the eventual U.S. candidate and lost to London.) I'm sure then-President Bush supported the Houston bid.

If the earth were really getting warmer, wouldn't that mean that there wouldn't be any snow to built a den that could collapse? Wouldn't the mother bear find something else with which to protect her young instead of something as unstable as snow?

I think it's a northeast-liberal, Boston-to-DC thing, but people there seem to worship at the feet of Ivy League graduates. They think Harvard and Yale grads can walk on water. That's a lot of respect for people who, if you think about it, were really good high school students and could afford to pay tuition for those schools. What they do once they get into those schools and leave don't matter.
