    And affirmative action is a very nice term for racial discrimination against better-qualified white people in jobs, employment, promotions and scholarships, and college admittance.

    I don't see how they can do anything but wait.  They keep saying that at that height the temperature is more than likely below freezing.

    I'm a horrible person but I my initial reaction was one of a  :lol: nature.

    HOW DID HE GET ACCESS TO THIS JIFFY POP LOOKING THING?

    I blame this:




    Just consider myself being crass and insensitive as a way of coping.  


    GOD DAMNIT I'M AN ASSHOLE.

    Apparently the kid might have fallen out.  Damn.
