It's gone from there. But it's here: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=516271617407&ref=mf. That's just an incredible stroke of luck that somebody got that recorded. well, not for the owner - it kinda debunks his claim to his insurance company of a low flying pelican.

You think this bad? Sure now they are just monitoring the rate of your child's cardiopulmonary development. and perhaps worse yet, they are probably going to compare your child to all the other children based on this metric. But this is just the tip of iceberg! I know how these public schools work. In a few weeks time you'll get notice that they have also been tracking your child's mental and cognitive development!! And, per their M.O., comparing your child to all the other children. They'll probably even have your child get up in front of all the other children and perform some sort of demonstration or cognitive feat. I've even seen cases where they administer tests and enter the results into your child's permanent record. Let's just hope and pray that the laws of the land will prevent these so-called "tests" from falling into the hands of potential future employers. Or, god forbid, future high schools.

I've never used a compass and signal meter to install an air filter... Then again, I'm a bit of a cowboy when it comes to air filters. Like to shoot from the hip. Ya know.

That is indeed unfortunate. A foor is the architectural equivalent of a spork. They are REALLY handy and economical- you don't have to have floors AND doors all over the place.

"...I'm quoting what 2 people said."

Exactly. That's all you are doing. And we appreciate you sharing that anecdote. As a follow up, I would encourage you now to ponder what it is about John McCain that leaves him weak in connecting with these demographic groups you mention. 18-29 year olds? Do you realize John McCain was 18-29 in 1954-1965?? Rock music wasn't even invented yet when McCain was working hard toward finishing at the bottom of his naval academy class. Black people? McCain is a 72 year old white guy and you are wondering why southern blacks don't feel a strong connection to him? Really? Really?

And to calm your nerves, I'd encourage you to look into the colloquial connotation of the phrase "He's my nigga"- it's much more innocuous than you think; more akin to "That's my Man!" than it is to "I will give this person my vote based solely on the fact that he's black." Matter o' fact, when your presumed interpretation is actually verbalized, it sounds almost silly, doesn't it? Trust me, it's more an off-the-cuff expression of enthusiasm than it is a statement of philosophical underpinnings. I hope you can rest easier now.
