why does one need to use a silicone spatula?

You don’t necessarily have to be in the Senate to understand, you know, how it shapes the country. … the Internet is aware of John McCain.

Hansen, echoing work by other scientists, said that in five to 10 years, the Arctic will be free of sea ice in the summer.

yikes! keep buying that seafront land in florida, you repug doucheboats. serves you right.

Lesbians: The group hit hardest by “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”

Which suddenly makes it important to Erica.

@4 -- Why are we kicking the Lebanese out of our Army? First gays...now this. It's not like we have a lot of sold....

Huh?

What?

Oh.

Carry on.

The article doesn't mention it, but the Coast Guard has the same policy.

Ams @ 1: Hmm, good question. I blame Big Silicone?

Dang, I was hoping for a couscous recipe.

I’ve said before, and I’ll say it again: Support Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, and you’ll save gay and lesbian lives.

Our military has absolutely nothing to do with protecting our nation or making us safer, quite the opposite. The US military carries out wars for political propaganda and war/oil industry profits.

If you oppose our nation’s psychopathic wars and militarism, then supporting the ban makes perfect sense. Some unconventional methods are required to deprive the military of the troops they need to carry out these wars, and one of those methods is DADT. I’ve read that as many as 40,000 gay men and lesbians would join the armed forces if the ban were lifted. Keeping DADT in place saves their lives and prevents them from becoming accomplices to our country’s insane lies and war crimes.

@ 1 & 7. I think it's because silicone (unlike metals) doesn't react to the acids in the vinaigrette and (unlike wood or plastic) won't absorb the ethereal oil released by the basil leaves. ECB - thx a ton for this recipe - I know what I'm making tonight!

Heh, you'll be checked now and then for citizenship these days when you drive across the border *out* of the US too.

ICE likes doing this on I-5 south into Tijuana a lot recently--they stop all traffic and ask for papers for everyone, and will haul out anyone who's papers aren't in order.

Wouldn't surprise me if they're doing this at the Peace Arch crossing too.

LOLez, women

@11 - I always give them my best Russian salute when they do that.
