    That AP report doesn't tell the whole story. The real story is how corrupt the PDC is.

    No, I was just telling you that because nice people are harder to burn. We'll need to bring extra gasoline and maybe some charcoal briquettes.

    Re: WTF?

    Gas makes them cook more quickly. Shouldn't it be more slow and agonizing? More briquettes and firelogs, less gas?

    I like it. Think how ironic it will be that in order to kill him properly we'll have to increase his carbon footprint to the size of a fleet of Hummers.

    I think we'll be increasing our carbon footprint, while reducing his two footprints to nothing, no?

    I love Trader Joe's. I'm pretty sure Flint, MI would KILL to get a Trader Joe's, particularly on a lot that's long been vacant (i.e., basically anywhere in Flint). But apparently that doesn't hold in Portland:

    I guess the notion of gentrification is so foreign to me, living as I do in the rust belt, that I have a hard time getting this, especially if the lot was vacant. Thoughts?
