...that isn't "silly" hair, dude. Your hair is more silly than that.
Hugz!
Seriously, there are so many better silly Cage hairstyles. Raising Arizona? Hello?
Or Zandalee, or Peggy Sue Got Married...
Stephen L. Johnson should be drawn and quartered. It's ironic that "state's rights" is turning into a liberal issue, not a racist one. And ironic that agencies charged with various tasks like protecting the environment, protecting consumers, regulating the airwaves, and developing a coherent energy policy should be instead working AGAINST all of those things.
I wonder if Schwarzenegger's going to change parties.
In other news, I just looked out the window and there is FIRE IN THE SKY!! What is that thing?!
No! Bernie Utz MUST STAY! It's the only retail establishment worth a shit left downtown! Those cases! That storefront!
Bush News: Duh Duh DUMB FUCK! God, I'm so fucking sick of that idiot! Am I the only one who wants to spit on him?
UGH! Over that retard. I guess even the presidency is an equal opportunity job. Why can't we have a woman or black president? We already have a special needs president!
Is Russell the spokesman for the Lakota tribe? Is hard to figure him out sometimes. Sometimes he is a Reagan supporter, others he is AIM., others he is a wife beating drunk. Hell,last time I saw him he was playing "wandering bear" on Curb your Enthusiasm giving Larry tips on how to cure his wife's vagina.
It would help if you had a link. It would be fascinating for the Lakotas to do this. So Im assuming is including all the territories in the black hills?
Hey! Can we have a link to the Sitting Bull/Crazy Horse story????
Sorry SeMe and gong. I forgot the link. It's up there now.
Bernie Utz: if they do move, i hope they take the cases, and that they stay downtown but do not end up in westlake.
Washington state did one step better than vow, they're investing millions in cameras to ensure prisons are monitored. This helps protect prisoners from abuse and guards from false accusations.
Too bad SPOG is opposed to cameras at their precincts and Simms/Holgeerts are opposed to cameras at the KCCF.
Thanks! :D
My guess is that Bernie Utz will stay.
The Vance Building has gone, in about ten years, from ground floor shoe repair places, to ground floor investment banking offices, back to shoe repair places again. And now the DOL has left and opened up half the street for retail.
They're not really filling the places they have too well.
Uppity natives. Weren't the Lakota the same tribe that occupied the BIA offices in DC in the 70s?
Leonard Peltier is Lakotan too.
Good for them.
By law, gift cards in Washington State don't expire or have "maintenance" fees, so you're not throwing your money away, you're just saving it for a rainy day.
NOt if you throw them in the trash, which is what I do with all the Starbucks cards people give me.
The BIA occupation was done by AIM and included folks from all over the country, but there was a healthy contingent from Pine Ridge and Rosebud.
@15, actually Leonard is Chippewa, from the Turtle Mountain Res in N. Dakota.
FNARF! Give them to MEEEeeee!!!
@17 - they also make neat coasters. Admittedly, since they got rid of the Mexican Drinking Chocolate, I haven't had a reason to be in a Starbucks, but ... I have a son who could use them when he goes out on dates with girls ...
Come and get 'em, subwlf. They're in my pocket here. No, that one. Deeper.
fnarf with a capital F = Mr. Poe
