This is also an actual headline about an American city:
"Pennsylvania's Capital City Files for Bankruptcy".

That would be Harrisburg.

I love how the ad preceding the pooper video begins with "is your milk safe?"

They had field trips there from Texas, Will? You did say you grew up in Texas, you know.

@7 - Texas was a lot closer to Pennsylvania back then. Eventually, Pangaea broke up and Harrisburg drifted to its present location. Texas is and always will be stuck fast to its Precambrian spot.

So he's going to break out the Surtax on Millionaires into it's own bill?

Let's start taking bets on the voting for that one!

Several of my Peace Corps colleagues would be greeted with big, steaming piles of shit on their doorsteps at least once during their service. It was a friendly, Central American way of saying, "I'd really like to murder or rape you, but I lack the wherewithal. So here's what I think of you, gringa!"

And by the way, RIM really did screw the pooch this time. I haven't been able to send or receive an e-mail all day.

It's kind of . . . refreshing. Very peaceful and quiet.

@11, I dunno, it had some kind of bread on it. I think it was called "the Banality of Evil".
