Palpatine in '08

Thank you, Pete, for the concise and clear write-up. I will be sharing that summary with a number of people up here who have expressed confusion over 'the way things work' south of the border. B)

Well

The Mexican food sucks north of here, anyway.

Ten points for the reference without use of google.

To Pete: About the FAF

The Ninth and Tenth are still in force, last I checked, unless the Constitution has been amended since then.

I suggest a good, hard look at the divide I have been commenting on for about eight years, which is almost perfectly embodied by the map NBC news developed to portray the results of the recent election.

The break isn't north/south, but it has been growing slowly in this direction for about forty years.

Now that IED's have become as common as houseplants, I expect that we will see a sustained series of McVeigh like events. Most of the countermeasures against them are far too annoying to the American public to be implemented. (We do need to talk, in the flesh.) Pessimist, I know, but I welcome being wrong in this case. I really hope I am wrong. Really.
