Eventually we got the charges dismissed, but I suspect that waking up to an M-16 in your face and confronting a threat of 100 years in prison because the charge is being part of a massive drug conspiracy can ruin your week. |

Quote of the Day
Quote:
I registered for the draft on my eighteenth birthday, and would have gone if called. Was recruited by the airforce and was all set to go (they wanted me because of my great eyesight - vision and distance that is) but when they discovered I was color blind, they didn't want me so bad anymore. |
Border - what purpose does it serve?
When I was sixteen I was working in a Mexican restaurant as a busboy (you have to be eighteen to be a waiter). I was the only anglo busboy. One day these guys in suits showed up and all of a sudden, I was the only employee left in the restaurant.
I got promoted to waiter on the spot and the owner and his wife took over the kitchen. There were twenty tables, so needless to say it was a complete disaster. In the sweep two older gentlemen who were my favorite waiters (because they tipped out well) got caught up in the net and sent home. In addition, all the busboys got nabbed (leaving me with a hell of a lot of work). This experience really put the Feds low on my list, but then the owner told me - don't worry - they will be back in a week. Sure enough - one week later they were all back. Ever since then I have wondered why we have a border. |
Religion and Maps
I've always thought maps were cool, and have wondered on occasion about the distribution of religious adherents across America.
Via Andrew Sullivan, someone named Geitner Simmons has accumulated a whole bunch of maps showing the breakdown of affiliations, by county, based on 2000 Census data. Ranging from overall religious adherents: http://www.valpo.edu/geomet/pics/geo.../adherents.gif To breakdowns of the most prevalent denominations in a given county: http://www.valpo.edu/geomet/pics/geo...rch_bodies.gif There are breakdowns of most of the major denominations, including Methodists: http://www.valpo.edu/geomet/pics/geo.../methodist.gif Mormons, with an unsurprising concentration: http://www.valpo.edu/geomet/pics/geo...ion/mormon.gif Jews, who seem to congregate in LA, NY, Seattle, South Florida, and various spa locations around the country. (Who knew?) http://www.valpo.edu/geomet/pics/geo...ion/jewish.gif The site has a breakdown and explanation of most other denominations. Check it out. Gattigap |

even the pro-war Economist calls Bush and Blair "Eager Deceivers" because they overstated the "evidence" of WMD, falsely portraying as conclusive that which their administrations, if not they personally, knew was anything but. |
