Know It When You See It ...

... and why this CNN piece made Tom Tomorrow justifiably angry one week ago ... :
"The report, which analyzed data from governments, research institutions and international agencies, found higher newborn death rates among U.S. minorities and disadvantaged groups. For African-Americans, the mortality rate is nearly double that of the United States as a whole, with 9.3 deaths per 1,000 births."
... and if you can actually stomach that, then you should really see what an ass Tony Snow made of himself today.

Really nice guy.

I can stomach it. By the way...it was the India area what you were refering too. Still silly. You are right my friend.

India, Indiana ... let's call the whole thing off.

Besides, they always said about Indiana Beach that there's more than corn in Indiana. Well, an ex of mine and I went to that poor man's Wisconsin Dells (which, in itself, is really a poor man's Disneyland, so there you have it), and if there is more than corn in Indiana, well, it sure as hell ain't that much more.

All we got was a second-rate water park where there was a pool area whose "beach area" was basically sand scattered across concrete and a band-aid floating in a swimming area.

We probably left after 15-20 minutes and agreed fucking at the hotel room for the trip was time much better spent.
