Is there a song in Spanish equivalent to the Wreck of Old 97? Has any Spanish woman ever listened through to the end?

As much as I would ❤ for bio-mass fuel stock to be grown as algae, and harvested along the coast, it seems a little Michael Crichton to me.

Any Mac users know how to search and replace carriage returns and tabs in Microsoft Office for Mac programs? None of results in Google work.

You know you've been in Spain too long when Andy's wardrobe from the Office doesn't remind you so much of Easter as it does El Corte Inglés.

No puedo figure out como traducir algunas frases.

Feeling below average? Just take a look at the "top charts" on the iTunes Music Store. It's a long way down to 'average' from where you are.

A Stalinesque regime purge happens from the top down. When a "purge" happens from the bottom up it's called democracy. #journalismishard

"I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on the objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents." - James Madison, the Father of the Constitution

Having been to Aranjuez, it's hard to imagine a time when it was worthy of its concierto. This may be my last tweet, if my inlaws read this.

Wow, it sounds like somebody in UT really pissed off the writers at Law and Order SVU. Too bad, the show used to be pretty good.

'Tis sweet to find the matchless sock!

Be aware: Lortab DOES show up in a pee-test, Ziprasidone doesn't. (Guess which comes from poppies.) Wisdom tooth removal, not free in Spain.

I'm still catching up, but Lorraine X's call in to Rush, where she demonstrated an inability to understand the Boston Tea Party allusion, and said, "there's nothing wrong with socialism."
Absolutely priceless!
And, her brief moment of reason was annihilated by her tea-bagger remark.

(her brief moment of saying that we're not racists.)

I used to pray to be able to be "normal," and then again, to be "popular," and sometimes to be "smart." The answer is, "No, not even clever"

I'm still trying to decide what I think about poverty being the result of being truly a self-made man.

The diet described sounded like a good way to get one's body more in tune with its origins, and to keep it satisfied.
Although, since the human species is more than just its body, satisfaction is actually just a point of equilibrium.
If you were just a body, simply acting upon your instincts would lead you to satiate your appetite, and that would be the end of it.
Progressing towards happiness or joy, or whatever you want to call it, sounds to me more like a worthwhile goal, than does mere satisfaction, or satiation.
After sufficiently reducing the cost of acquiring adequate caloric intake, the diet that is best pursued by man, is the one that brings the greatest happiness.
The appetites of the body are not perfectly perceived by man's intellect, no matter what diet is being followed, despite that it is through the intellect that the superior component of mankind is manifest. I am specifically avoiding saying that man's intellect is, of its own self, the superior component of man, although it is one way that we have of perceiving man's progress beyond natural instincts.
There is a price to pay for this progress, and a certain duality or disconnect happens, generally speaking. However, seeking ways to overcome that disconnect, by attempting to determine what the body-component of man would instinctually consume, isn't necessarily the best or most efficient way of seeking happiness.
(Although, all else being equal, two people eating the same diet, the own who gains the most weight has the most efficient metabolism, so not even efficiency is necessarily happiness.)
If you don't exist to be happy, or to seek after it, what is the primary purpose of your existence, then?
There are certain guidelines that place the body in a proper relation with the intellect, that allow the soul to achieve the greatest happiness.
Find the one that allows you to progress the furthest you can in that direction.

Has it really been a decade since I read about Jeroboam? Ashamedly, yes & I feel I finally have a way to apply his story to mine. Naman too.
