First of all, it is a fact. WWW Link A fact is that Catholic Person X gave less than Protestant Person Y. A theory is that based on that fact Catholics give less than Protestants. The second sentence is not a fact--it is a theory. In social science (which this is) many scientific philosophers would argue that what we call "facts" are not objective and are theory-laden. Am I being pendantic? Possibly.
Still sending you good thoughts, MM. Off to light another candle or two for you today as well. Get well, my friend, get well.
based on 20 years of tax business this is the research we've come up with. Do your own research and see what you get. I noticed you didn't volunteer that you're a big giver debunking what I said. So could this be a true assessment based just on you? Be honest. I take it you're a Catholic? I'm not bashing you by stating this fact. It's just a fact we see over and over again. After a while you get so you can count on things. First, it's not a fact--it is
I actually know of MANY law abiding citizens who don't register their firearms, Shovel. They try to live in areas where registraation is not required. Just a point of clarification--if they are not registering their fireamrm when they are living in an area that requires it, then they are NOT law abiding citizens.
For one thing it's very obvious that the Liberals don't give to charitable organizations nearly even close what their conservative counterparts do Do you poll your clients as to what their political leanings are when you are doing their taxes? How do you know whether they are liberal or conservative? I can also tell you which religion receives the most by seeing how the individuals give as well. Catholics....give the
Are you eligible for those clear plastic invisible ones? My fingers are crossed. And are your teeth REALLY that bad? To look at? No. The problem is that the way that they moved means that I am grinding away at the enamel every time I close my mouth. I'm sure I'm over reacting a tad bit--we'll see on Monday. Thanks for the good wishes...
There are few things in life that I'm sure of: I will someday die, I will always owe the iRS more than I want to pay them, and I will never be as awkward as I was in my early teens. At least, these were the things that I was sure of until yesterday. Let's start at the beginning. Yesterday afternoon I had a dentist appointment with a new dentist
I agree--she's is adorable, and green is certainly her color!
I should first probably admit my own bias, eh? My dad is retired Army serving in the first Gulf War and my brother is a fire fighter. Ok, with that out of the way... Men and women who willingly leave their families to serve their country, regardless of personal beliefs and personal sacrifice to serve others. I would think that you could claim that the same sacrifices are made by members of our police forces and fire departments. Sold
Can I just chime in with a "ditto?" Not only do I not think any less of you -- I'm quite amazed and impressed that you were able to quit cold turkey. I find change to be frightening and exhilerating at the same time -- and with those feelings in mind, I wish you the best of luck in maintaining this change for as long (or as short) as you'd like!
Blah. Possibly it's because some guys know the score exactly, and hate losing their own personal cheerleaders. Being crushed on is flattering, and totally without responsibility. By that, I mean, without any form of declaration, the crushee doesn't need to do much to earn that attention. When it's gone, I think that there are som
"You fucking liar," the testicals said. "You always get in and leave us outside." What a prick. Great, now there is diet coke spewed all over my computer screen. I could've used a warning. Elie: Still sending positive thoughts and prayers in your direction -- and eagerly awaiting your return!
So why aren't they working more on alternative energy and less on regulating the end user? Because when forming public policy, you want to go after the low hanging fruit first. Alternative energy takes a little bit of time between idea and project implementation. Changing a light bulb is an IMMEDIATE means for reducing both energy and CO2 emissions. Moreover, the consumer actually saves money over the life of the product. Additionally, the
WELCOME BACK!!!

and because I wanted to show him the cool new quote feature
cause we know that Elie loves points
And I'd really like to see you over 200! I'll help you, Tova
I should clarify that this happened this summer, I just never got around to posting it. I made an official complaint against the jerky officer. The female officer who helped me suggested that it wasn't unusual for him to be an idiot -- but his supervisor seemed very surprised so apparently no one is reporting it. Is it too much to hope that McHottie is single and wants to date you?!! Good Luck and maybe a date
What a wonderful end to a Sunday. I am so happy and will continue the good thoughts. I concur. What a fabulous way to start the new week!
On my last blog, I referenced this story, but then realized I had never actually posted it. Here you go! There are times that I think that I am starring in a poorly scripted movie. There I am, one Sunday afternoon, at home. One of my roommates and I have decided to celebrate the summer and the World Cup by having a bbq (well, a
Welcome back SHE. Sorry to hear about the break up, but CONGRATS on finishing your dissertation! That's brilliant news! Re: your stalker. Have you thought about starting to file police reports on each incident. Many states now have stranger stalker laws. If they have burned a bulletin board--who knows what else they will do. Better to be safe by getting it all on record now, right? Good luck, hope they go away!
Marcie said: I think I'd just do it for the cops though...I do have a slight thing for cops. I'm pathetic) I hear ya, Marcie. I don't remember if I blogged about it, but over the summer I had a woman harassing me who thought that I was having an affair with her husband. She had the wrong number, but that didn't stop her from threatening (repeatedly) to kill me. I had to file a report at the police station, and was told to call 911 the next time she called. The following
Sorry, the quote feature just blew up on me. I'm going to try this again... Nicky said "Pfft." Precisely my point -- but so much more succinct. Nicky said: B- On several occasions, I've found the need to move on, and its only then, that my interest is returned. This happens time and time again with me. I have to wonder if once I've given up, lost interest if I don't act more relaxed and normal--thus, presenting a better (and more
1. I'm snowed under at work. It seems like no matter how hard I try to dig myself out, the pile of papers just gets bigger and bigger and bigger. In other terribly exciting work news, I’ve recently been booted out of my fabulous office (the one with the great windows and incredible view that gave me a bird's eye view of Justice Rehnquist's funeral) into the office c
