Michael Moore very cleverly pointed out that the difference between us and the French is that the French understand that their lives depend upon supporting each other against the government. We on the other hand spend all our time trying to undo certain groups of people.
Reminds me of the great Paris garbage collector strike of 1971 or thereabouts. There was garbage reeking and smelling in the streets and up to second stories but all the people seemed to support the striking garbage haulers even though they couldn't get out their doors. It was a remarkable experience of democracy in action.

I am super worried about my county/state only has three of them...
because the friggin developers have bought the pols, are strip housing all of the farms so fast that the dairy farms are soon likely to go out of business, they need a critical mass of fodder fields nearby to make it cost effective and those fields are not gonna hang on unless the government buys them.
How's that for some shit...we are becoming like the commies. Govt owed farms.

Kalmia (Mountain Laurel) has poisonous foilage and should not be grown around ruminants. Its related to both magnolias and heather. Pruning done from now to the beginning of September will less likely result in spindly, abundant new growth, that at any other time of year in the Northern Hemisphere. I'll consult a resource about proper
pruning.

Mogwai, these used to be 4 foot high bushes of mountain laurel, and now they are trees. Last summer I cut off all the dead branches, which left 6 foot long skinny trunks with a small umbrella of leaves at the very top.
I am considering taking out every third one, to let in more sunlight, even though I would hate to do it.

Last summer I cut off all the dead branches, which left 6 foot long skinny trunks with a small umbrella of leaves at the very top.
here it grows up to 15 feet tall, but i noticed that those in more sun grow much thicker leaves - there is a local park with a Giant mountain laurel and it is 15 feet tall with an umbrella of leaves - so that is natural unless it gets lots of sun (not full sun, but lots of sun) i have few that are in deep shade and they grow spindly - i tend to leave it alone, except for that one plant next to the house

The poll has bad news for President Bush, too. His job approval rating slipped to 27 percent, his lowest number ever in a CBS News poll — 3 points less than last month and 1 point below his previous low of 28 percent in January. His disapproval rating is also at an all-time high of 65 percent.
"Vice President Dick Cheney received a similarly low rating, with 28 percent approval and 59 percent disapproval."
The chimp is lower than Darth Cheney - that must be a first.

Well, not actually chased, since he was just scared and trying to run away. But for some reason, the crazy thing ran in the same direction I was going. I guess he was just leaving the same way he came into the yard and wasn't aware there was another escape route. Was close enough that he brushed my leg as he was running past me. Didn't stop him from coming back last night to eat the cat food, though.

Altmouse was in a tizzy about that Onion article on cancer.
To wit:
Cancer inflicts terrible suffering. But you don't step forward to endure it in place of others. It happens, and you do what you can. Is one victim really more "courageous" than another? What does it mean to be "remarkably courageous"? What unnamed persons are you implying were courageous, but actually significantly less courageous than the newly departed? And does anyone ever not get credit for courage?
Ann doesn't realize the Onion is parody, evidently.

Racoons don't kill cats or dogs unless they're cornered. I've seen gangs of racoons and cats eating out of the same dumpster at the same time. Generally a cat won't tangle with a racoon, and as long as they don't, the racoons are fine with the cats sitting by and watching as they eat the cats' food. My sister did have a dog killed by a racoon, but that's because the dog went after the coon. For sure, they're a creature that you don't want to corner. The one that was here the other night was as I said just trying to run away, and since I didn't try to stop that, no confrontation. I did have one coming around for awhile that was really tame - he wanted to come in the house. He'd come up to the door when it was cracked open and stick his nose in and sniff while I was standing right there. Of course I realized the wisdom of not letting him in the house.

I really have never had a problem with squirrels since the time I lived in the rent house and one of them was determined that he was going to live in the attic. Little fucker kept chewing new holes to get in whenever the old ones were sealed up. Finally, I just put the cat up there. The squirrel never came back after that. Where I am now, my yard and the surrounding yards are teeming with them, but they don't seem to be causing any problems.

I say it's time for a access, bang, barrage, blast, blasting, blowout, bombardment, breach, break, cannonade, crack, discharge, eruption, explosion, fit, flare, fusillade, gush, gust, outbreak, outpouring, round, rupture, rush, sally, salvo, shower, spate, split, spurt, storm, surge, torrent, volley!!!
If THAT doesn't work exactly as planned, then I think it's only fair to Preznit Cheney that we try a bound, career, cast, course, dash, flash, fling, flit, float, fly, gallop, hasten, heave, hurry, hurtle, launch, move quickly, pitch, plunge, propel, run, rush, sail, scamper, scoot, scud, scurry, shoot, skim, speed, spring, sprint, spurt, start, tear, throw, thrust!!!
No, Gloomy Gusses, there shall be no collapse, decline, fail, falter, lose, or recedes, nor either any dally, dawdle, delay, linger, plod, slog, trudges, whilst THIS administration is decidering things!

If you read the poll, Bush's approval is actually now ***LESS THAN*** Cheney's! How's that for scary?
