“I'm a fellow countryman, still living down here. I know what you mean. Biding my time - soon, soon.

I'm now living in Silicon Valley and have many friends, the best and brightest from all over the world. I was discussing last week with one friend who has built and sold two companies and who is building a third - he's one of the most intelligent guys I know - developing bleeding edge technology, designed by Indians, built by Chinese and funded by the British and Americans - that will alter all of our lives in the next three to five years. We were discussing that with the state of the global economy and advances in technology, people who moved here to Silicon Valley no longer see any advantage to being "here". People are actually doing the math and can provide for their families and have a better standard of living by moving back home to Russia, India, China. (take a look at the number of new billionaires in those counties to see what I mean) I told him that I think we are not very far away from the day that white folks are going to be moving abroad, following the good work overseas. (I used to work for a big name internet company that offered to allow us to keep our jobs if we'd move to Prague because it was cheaper for them)

Educated people can do better for themselves outside the fatherland.”

“wow. I really h a t e this man.

“college ball is so much fun!”

“By the janitor...who finked?!?!?”

“What's happening to the American Empire? Oh, it's dying.”

“You don't have to invoke a higher being to believe in helping your fellow countrymen, regardless of what their race, color, creed, ethnicity or level of income (or in your case, edjamacation)”

“and she's complaining about the scientific "priesthood".

SP's a modern day Martin Luther, nailing her treatises to the door of the WaPo, saying every "man" should have direct access to knowledge without having to resort to the intercession of the scientific priesthood; that if your own "still, small voice" says go buy an SUV and rape the planet, then god has spoken and you should listen.”

“So I am not a Christian, but I must put up with the rising Christian population and their push for me to accept Christian practice worldwide.

Why is it fine for Christian institutions to be granted tax free status, proselytize to non-believers, put forth politicians who demand we all live according to your ten commandments, but you fear another religion which shares a common root and a majority of your beliefs?”

“ahhh "petar" as in "one who pets" comme "des pet des soeures"...

stinky nuns

so clever thou art... t'wast a French pun on the Middle English usage that thou (half) quothe - but why not go whole hog and type "owne petar" to clue we morons in?

methinks thou tryest too hard to justify thyself.”

“The Bard didn't mix his metaphors, you did, when you smelled Levin being hoist by his petar(d)”

“I think the posted photo of Mickey makes him look like he could be OctoMom's dad...or they at least share a plastic surgeon...”

“heh - wonderful attempt, but methinks by dint of your egregiously mixed-metaphor and lame typo that THOU hast been hoist with your own petard...”

“I sat in the middle seat on a completely booked, five hour flight recently, between two guys about half this guys' size. They were both already seated when I boarded. They'd both raised their seat arms and were all strapped in, oozing over into my seat. I asked, but the FA said it was a full flight, so no chance to switch. I had to fly so I wedged myself in. One fell asleep and snored in my ear, the other wore a short sleeved golf shirt and his sweaty arm suck to me the entire way.

So lovely.”

“*sigh* but they're going to get married, so it's all good!”

“Zsolt Pelad: Nothing like a good glass of Château de Chasselas, eh, Geza? Who'd have thought thirty year ago we'd all be sittin' here drinking Château de Chasselas, eh?

Geza Pelad: I was happier when we had nothin'. Remember when we used to live in that tiny old house with great big holes in the roof?

Zsolt Pelad: House! We didn't live in a house! We used to live in a cave, both of us, no furniture, 'alf the floor was missing, and we were all 'uddled together in one corner for fear of falling.

Geza Pelad: And you try and tell the young people of today that ..... they won't believe you.

“OK, OK, I forgot about Irv's

Sonja ROCKS the bacon cheeseburger!”

“The Apple Pan!!!”

“First Hungarian: Nothing like a good glass of Château de Chasselas, eh, Josiah? Who'd have thought thirty year ago we'd all be sittin' here drinking Château de Chasselas, eh?

Second Hungarian: I was happier when we had nothin'. Remember when we used to live in that tiny old house with great big holes in the roof?

“I saw The Blind Side this weekend and must admit the film forced me to call into question my lifelong prejudices. Not all Southern white Chrisitian Republicans are evil incarnate.”

“For what it's worth, my tween picked this one to see over the vampire flick and it's become her new favorite movie.

I'm happy she likes the movie where folks help each other regardless of skin color, and stand up to our societies continued prejudices to help each other over the other exploitative teen flick this Thanksgiving weekend. I'm glad she insisted and I'm glad these are the values to which she aspires.

p.s. we were all p1$$ed off when the republican white guy with power ignored the black folks in dire need of help in New Orleans. Maybe some popular entertainment mainstreaming the idea that them that can should, especially when the headlines say 1 in 4 mortgages are under water, 1 in 8 are using food stamps and unemployment climbs higher and higher.

Get mad, but don't shoot the messenger.”

“The Boy in the Bubble , The State Dinner Party Crashers...these folks are a danger to public safety - PLUS all the crap they do every night to shock and appall us and our children on TV - I think ALL reality stars should be shipped off to a desert isle with no supplies to battle each other to the death...oh, wait...”

“Has Opera read the tea leaves and decided the days of conspicuous consumerism are over? Did she decide flaunting all she has and is able to shower upon the little people is no longer good for her image?”

“Family, hold back!”

“woot! 1:29

Methinks these Xtians need to read them some Song of Solomon
