I finally watched Twilight, last night...

Dumbest. Shit. Ever.
I’ve not read the books (man-card solidly intact!) but the wife has. She insisted I watched the movie when it was out on DVD. I agree, the movie, especially the acting was atrocious.How could two people who act so snotty, emo, and aloof be deemed so attractive by everyone else?
Perhaps the books are decent but without the book pushing support for it, it...

Does this seem fair?
Last Friday, I was involved in an aut accident that ended up having my vehicle totalled. My car was a 1995 Honda Accord LX, 4cyl, nothing fancy at all about it. It had about 151k miles on it.
Here she is:

“Freedom isn’t free.”
– This frequently quoted aphorism isn’t true. Freedom is free. That’s the whole point of freedom. Any libertarian will tell you that.
Security isn’t free. Consumption isn’t free. And taking away other people’s freedom can be horrendously expensive—particularly when it involves occupying other...

Terrorism that's personal (12 images) [[GRPAHIC... →
We typically think of terrorism as a political act.
But sometimes it’s very personal. It wasn’t a government or a guerrilla insurgency that threw acid on this woman’s face in Pakistan. It was a young man whom she had rejected for marriage. As the United States ponders what to do in Afghanistan — and for that matter, in Pakistan — it is wise to understand both the political and the personal,...

Need some advice...
I was in an accident this morning in which my car essentially got totaled. I do not have rental car insurance on my policy so I am currently without a car. It was suggested to me by my coworker that I should go ahead and get one anyway, then just push on the other driver’s carrier to pay for it. Although it was obviously the other driver’s fault, the report is not yet...

we get our free (regular) flu shots today at work.
should I bother?
I’m in the same boat, I don’t know whether it’s better to get one or not. Can’t they make you just as sick as if you got the flu itself?
yeah and in the past I always got a tad sick… then boredintheburbs posted the story...
