10/11   According to a UK paper, the US consumes 58 billion hamburgers per
        year.  58,000 million / 300 million pop = 193 per capita!  No wonder
        we are a nation of gigantic fat asses ...
        \_ Um, I've had a grand total of maybe about 5 hamburgers in the last
           year....  Not doing my share?  --PM
        \_ I wonder who is eating my share? -vegetarian
           \_ I'm also a vegetarian, 193/person is "only" one every other day
              ... obviously for some this the default meal - op
              \_ Suckling infants need to start making up for their deficit.  I
                 call this number crap.
        \_ Hamburgers at McDonald's are pretty small and you need two for one
           meal.  That may have skewed the statistics.
           \_ I think you have pointed out part of the problem

        Kudos.
        \_ I knew before even clicking on the link that he was a Gurkha. It is
           rumored that during WWII the Italians would desert if they
           discovered that they were facing Gurkhas.

8/14    How California's Lock-Em-Up Mentality actually makes crime worse:
        http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=111843426
        \_ Sounds nice, but the stats say the crime rate is better since
           we started locking them up.
           \_ You should look up "correlation and causation."

11/26   Media lavishes attention on bogus Zogby poll showing Hillary trailing
        while ignoring reputable Gallup poll
        http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/horsesmouth/2007/11/media_lavishes.php
        \_ More proof of liberal media bias.
           \_ I think you're being sarcastic, but one could make that argument
              since Hillary is probably the farthest right of the Dem

10/17   What are some examples of successful & sustainable colonies?
        \_ Israel
           \_ A colony of what country, USA? You're funny.
           \_ We do give them a few billion a year.  Same with Egypt.
              I doubt Egypt or Israel would exist in its present state
              without our aid.  You could argue that they'd be better off
