Re: Pendleton
+1 Eric. Not to mention the savvy shopper here in the Los Angeles area can get a good one (not the cheaper, thin Pendleton Cabela's carries) in a thrift store for $40 or less. Plenty of res...

Birds Peeing
Oh, let me tell you about the cloaca.. Back in 1986 I was at a party and... Wait, wrong story. I do raise chickens though. I have had to inspect a cloaca or two in my day. If a hen...

The ho-hum gun deaths
I think it also has a great deal to do with the direction in which the violence flows. "Terrorist" attacks largely flow upwards, that is, the violence doesn't follow class lines/bo...

"Why does America lose its head over 'terror' but ignore its daily gun deaths?"
