Al & Peg Bundy from the t.v. show: Married with Children.

My wife has a mink - but it used to be my grandmother's from the year 19godknowswhat. We would probably never buy one but only because of the expense. The material and coat itself is beautiful.

Yes. I am in a shitty situation right now because I let mud and dirt stay on the paint too long. It is essentially stuck to the side of my car. Even when I took it through a car wash (the ones where you spend $15) the dirt still stuck.

Get it off ASAP.

98% of the American population owns a T.V. It's a good way for average white people to get into the minority - which is the best thing any white person could ever do.

I'm basically cribbing this from:

I use it and I find it far more convenient than the tickets/cash I was using for a variety of reasons...

First I don't have to carry around the tickets any more - which means no more forgeting the tickets in my other jacket or other b.s. like that. I always have the card in my wallet.

I also like it because I only get charged the exact amount of the fare. I no longer lose the quarter in non-peak hours. Not a huge deal, but still.

I can add money to it outside of metro station customer service business hours.

Transfer tickets are no longer needed. The card tracks my time won't charge me if I'm still within the alloted time.

It can be used ferries, trains, etc. as well. So that's kind of cool.

The only reason I wouldn't get the orca card is if I only road the bus and I road the bus everyday - weekends included. Then I would get an actual pass. But you have to ride it everyday, more than once a day for the pass to make financial sense. I think you need to take around 36 seperate 2.50 trips a month for a monthly pass to start working in your favor.

Communists that are afraid of free market enterprise - that's who.

I disagree with the comment that says it re-inforces the stereo type of the lazy black man. And I'm not being inentionaly naive when I say that.

I may be wrong, but isn't the joke about Obama's tax policy and the group most likely to be affected by it? I dunno. Maybe I'm just less sensitive/more colorbind than others.

I'm a straight conservative (compared to most of Seattle) with a 50 inch television who spends a good part of his work day bullshitting with people on the internet. I'm pretty sure I'm taking America for granted and I don't think it has to with the fact that I'm straight, white or whatever.

We live in a country where everything you can imagine in this world comes to us - and if we can't get the original, we have the best replicas available. And if you want to go see the original, say in a foreign country, you can do that too. But we've come to expect it. I think that's a good thing, it ensures us that we maintain a high standard of living.

Long post, short - we all take this country for granted.

Amy is right - Zyrtec is the best out there, by far. And it just went generic which cut the price by some huge percentage. You can find it dirt cheap (the generic one) at Costco and buy a years supply (300 pills I think) for $25 bucks.

Ya. It's like booze or drugs. If you can function and have a happy life, then you're good to go.
