I don't understand the "latino" separation from white and african american... latinos are black, white, brown, yellow, and everything else inbetween. If a 3rd generation Peruvian family had descended from Japanese immigrants, and speak only spanish, are they "latinos" when they immigrate to the US?

I saw none @ the RNC. You have a point though, some Americans continue to work for the Black minorities exclusively. Hispanics remain the largest minority group at 44.3 million, but somehow overlooked by our politicians. White folks like me are dropping in #'s. We seem to be aging but not producing as many babies. This will certainly change politics in our childrens future.I'm bored with the black-white racial dynamics, and nothing else.

Some hispanics ARE white folks like you.

Scotland is a little more expensive but haggis does is awful things to your in an intestinal tract.

fixed it for you.

You guys already get your own holiday - what else do you want?

E-11

dammit.

lay out "my side" as you see it and i'll try to defend it.

What is this, Battleship?

I just caught the NHL channel for the first time last weekend, while visiting my sister. My Sig.O. immediately stated "you CANNOT get this channel"

Great googly moogly. I'm more excited for this season than ever, and can't wait to get the Center Ice package for the first time.

My favorite AC/DC album is The Cult's Electric.

Mine is by Wing

And there's more - let's take a look at some of Palin's pastor's opinions, and lets just hope Palin does not share them, even a little bit:

Isn't this something you'd criticize the other side for doing - bringing up the content of the candidate's pastor's sermons?

Why lower yourself to their level?

The one I tend to pull out most often is the 1978 live If you want blood you got it.

Besides including "Riff Raff" and "Whole Lotta Rosie" I've just always dug that ridiculous campy-ass cover of Angus impaled by an SG.

That album cover used to scare the hell out of me as a kid.

Why is Obama doing his speech in a football stadium?

because he's a celebrity. haven't you been McCainwashed yet?

tainted

neither ballsed nor assed?

Definitely make sure the house wasn't build over an Indian burial ground.

You should also make sure the house doesn't smell like farts. Nasty farts.

anyway, time will tell. i'm just putting my two-pennies worth in now to predict a real lack of unchange when he gets in.

yes, I'm hoping for a lack of unchange!

I walked out on Lucinda Williams a year and a half ago. I haven't enjoyed her output since Car Wheels on a Gravel Road, and she started late, and it was a weeknight, and we were bored, so we left around 11:00pm.

i'm quite a big hater of the idea that saying how shit someone else is must therefore mean that you'd do a better job by contrast. it only leads to disappointment. so i'd say that was a bad ad.

But it's not saying that. It's saying "Your approval rating of Bush has likely diminished over time. McCain's approval of Bush has increased. Don't you think you should consider that fact when you vote?"

Best Use of an Accordion on a Rock Album -

REM: You Are The Everything

I'll follow up on this tangent...

REM's got to overcome a whole lotta David Hidalgo's squeezebox playing with Los Lobos to claim this title...

Auda's "River to my people" speech in Lawrence of Arabia.

The "Danny Boy" assassination attempt in Miller's Crossing.

The moment of silence in Band of Outsiders.

Can we have more time to obtain the book? Takes a while for the library to track a book down if it's not at my neighborhood library.

Maybe push off the discussion for another week?

With that said, it could be argued that members of the church share a small amount of responsibility for the behavior of the church as a whole.

Not very strongly or convincingly, but have at it...

Tim Kaine.

Molly Hatchet.

Best album covers / Poorest reflection of what's actually on the vinyl of ALL TIME.

Plymouth MN is #1? Wow.

I just moved from there 2 years ago. If one's idea of a great small city is suburban sprawl, this place is heaven.

I got mine from the Rolling Stones Rock n Roll Circus.

she's not a saint (yet), she's merely beatified. She's still a miracle away... and card tricks don't count.
