    If Charlie can operate such hardware responsibly (yes, she is under parental supervision) then why would any citizen be unable to do so?

    I always mix them up. Don’t know why, I’m pretty sure if they were bare-ass naked, oiled up and holding each other in their slippery arms, they’d be easy to tell apart. But until that picture is taken, I’m going to just go on mixing them up.

    Dem Rep Receives Threat Over NASCAR Proposal

    Rep. Betty McCollum (D-MN) alerted Capitol Police Thursday after a threatening fax arrived at her office attacking her proposal to strip Pentagon sponsorship from NASCAR teams.

    Fucking redneck mother fuckers, what the fuck.  I’m confused as to how the office doesn’t know where the fax came from, the fax machine that I have here has a log of all incoming and outgoing calls.  Find the stupid fucks that sent this and rap them on their hands a couple times.

    Haven’t played it, nor the first one. Despite having several legitimately shit-your-pants-scary jobs, I can only play survival horror games until the first “Boo!” and which point I go “Oh shit oh fuck oh jesus shitting fuck!” quit the game, realize I forgot to save, and never play it again.
