Dear Caliber, Why does Analogman have issues? Sincerely, N

what kind of magic does this corn perform? I can't speak for that other dude.

I know it was mentioned in the article, but I cannot imagine how there is not a statute of limitations defense available to the knack. Typically the only way to toll a statute of limitations is by some specific tolling statute or by showing that you weren't or should not have been (reasonable person standard) aware of the acts giving rise to the cause of action. That is hardly the case here...

because it's funny and it elicits responses such as yours... if it'll make you feel better, here are his actual words: "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system."

I'm sure plenty of businesses would be fine with paying the tax and simply passing the cost onto the consumer...

As an emitter of carbon dioxide, this plan concerns me.

this may be the beginning of a wonderful friendship...

crap. this can't be good news...

As a graduate of Vanderbilt and SMU, you have my sympathies. "winning season" is a phrase with which I am almost wholly unfamiliar...

I applaud your open-minded statement. you've got to think that on a certain level Bush is just terrified out of his freaking mind. I wonder how any of us would react had 9/11 occurred while we were President--including how it would make us feel about torture, wiretaps, surveillance and all the other relevant issues... In my mind he's not only made a big mistake but blown a big potential political score by failing to round up high-ranking members of all parties in order to have a more public and "non-partisan" roundtable on "what the fuck do we do now, 5 years later?" "stay the cours

I enjoyed the ramble. Great points, and nice job putting your kid first.

Preach on brother Caliber! (you know just how to reach a former English major's heart) Dear Caliber, What is the best way to appear busy at work while corresponding with others on one's favorite band's message board site? Sincerely, Neil

well he DID invent the internet, so...

Stan: "Dude, don't say 'pigfucker' in front of Jesus." (from The Spirit of Christmas)

I'm always the same way. I've got 2 books in the car at all times (right now it's "Fiasco" and some Parker mystery fluff novel) and one at home...

Hands down one of my favorite reads...

the wife and I are considering venturing out of the house and seeing a movie. any suggestions?

Here it is if anyone wants to download it... Revelator

you know, I think these "rolling stones" might be on to something. I was a little over six months old when the concert I'm listening to was performed. and it's groovy. It's nice to be smiling for a change.

listening to the rolling stones 1972.07.24 in Fort Worth for the first time ever (I love you with all my might mighty torrents) and smiling. How's everyone?

Further evidence of my "pass" theory: You and me We come from different worlds You like to laugh at me When I look at other girls Sometimes you're crazy And you wonder why I'm such a baby Cause the Dolphins make me cry Well there's nothing I can do I've been looking for a girl like you You look at me You've got nothing left to say I'll only pout at you until I get my way I won't dance You won't sing I just want to love you but you want to wear my ring. Chorus: Well there's nothing I can do I only wanna be with you You can call me your fool Only wanna be with you Put on a little Dyl

Doesn't he get a pass for Hootie and the Blowfish though? That's kind of like John Grisham borrowing from Hemingway.
