The game of one-up-manship
A guy driving a Yugo pulls up at a stoplight next to a Rolls-Royce. The driver of the Yugo rolls down his window and shouts to the driver of the Rolls, "Hey, buddy, that's a nice car. You got a phone in your Rolls? I've got one in my Yugo!"
The driver of Rolls looks over and says simply, "Yes I have a phone."
The driver of the Yugo says, "Cool! Hey, you got a fridge in there too? I've got a fridge in the back seat of my Yugo!"
The driver of the Rolls, looking annoyed, says, "Yes, I have a refrigerator."
The driver of the Yugo says, "That's great, man! Hey, you got a TV in there, too? You know, I got a TV in the back seat of my Yugo!"
The driver of the Rolls, looking very annoyed by now, says, "Of course I have a television. A Rolls-Royce is the finest luxury car in the world!"
The driver of the Yugo says, "Very cool car! Hey, you got a bed in there, too? I got a bed in the back of my Yugo!"
Upset that he did not have a bed, the driver of the Rolls-Royce sped away, and went straight to the dealer, where he promptly ordered that a bed be installed in the back of the Rolls. The next morning, the driver of the Rolls picked up the car, and the bed looked superb, complete with silk sheets and brass trim. It was clearly a bed fit for a Rolls Royce.
So the driver of the Rolls begins searching for the Yugo, and he drove all day. Finally, late at night, he finds the Yugo parked, with all the windows fogged up from the inside. The driver of the Rolls got out and knocked on the Yugo. When there wasn't any answer, he knocked and knocked, and eventually the owner stuck his head out, soaking wet.
"I now have a bed in the back of my Rolls-Royce," the driver of the Rolls stated arrogantly.
The driver of the Yugo looked at him and said, "You got me out of the shower to tell me THIS?!?!"

Indignation!
Driving to work this morning on I-95 I look over to my left and there's this woman in a Mustang doing 65 miles per hour with her face up next to her rear view mirror putting on her eye liner!
I look away for a couple seconds and when I look back she's halfway over in my lane.
Scared me so bad I dropped my electric shaver in my coffee.

A Buffalo Wing Shortage is running rampant across the nation!
What a travesty!
There goes all the parties down the drain!

What a travesty!
There goes all the parties down the drain!
Seriously, folks there is a shortage of chicken wings in the nation because the main supplier of all the chicken wings in the nation has said they were in financial straits due to the economic collapse and has cut (more like gutted) production ... so those wings you want will cost you!
Franken - Food
Fast-growing salmon. Pork containing heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.Are just two examples of products you might see in your local supermarket soon -- animals developed not through conventional breeding but through genetic engineering.
On January 15, 2009, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration decided how it will regulate genetically engineered animals, for the first time paving the way for such animals or their products to be sold as food and medicine.
The agency has decided to categorize genetically engineered farm animals, also called transgenic animals, as an "animal drug."
They will be held to the same requirements already existing for conventionally bred animals treated with hormones or antibiotics.
In the case of transgenic animals, the "drug" is a snippet of DNA.
Now for the good part ...

Products derived from them or containing them as an ingredient will not necessarily require labeling.

Wing-nut Yammering and Flap-Doodle
More nonsense from the lunatic fringe still yammering about citizenship in response to the previous post with the same title:
Constitution of the United States of America here or the 'constitution' that only exists in the warped black holes the wing-nuts call their minds.
If it is the Constitution of the United States of America we are discussing then you know your statement cited above is so much horsesh_t.
However if we are discussing whatever you wing-nuts call a 'constitution', well, then could be ... the rest of us don't live in whatever fantasy world you troglodytes live in so who knows what is in your 'constitution' - but from past experience and current statements ... the aforementioned horsesh_t comes to mind.
Also, since the current court has shown its inability to read much less understand the Constitution of the United States of America ... (witness witless Roberts screwing up a simple one sentence oath just this past Tuesday when swearing in our first legitimate president in eight years. Immediately the wing-nuts howled that Obama wasn't president because HE flubbed the oath not Roberts - news flash for you Obama became president at noon January 20th, 2009 with or without the oath being taken as decreed in the Constitution of the United States of America that a president is to take office weather or not an oath has been taken) ... we would ignore it and its irrelevancy to the progress of our nation and the world should they even contemplate hearing any of the idiotic and juvenile filings that have been made by morons with less grasp on reality than Woody Woodpecker.
But I have to go now, Graham Norton is about to come on BBCAmerica and he is much more entertaining than skewering nincompoops even as fun as skewering nincompoops is to do.

"Citizen" as under the 14th Amendment is NOT the same a "natural born citizen" under Article 2 (a unique requirement for President) -- on which you and us "wingnuts" will soon receive confirmation from the Supreme Court. I suggest you stand by.
