For Better Or For Worse

Funny thing, that. Welsh comes from Walish, which comes from the (IIRC) Anglo-Saxon word for "foreigner". I prefer Cymry (how _is_ that pronounced, anyway?)

Try deodorant. Works wonders.

'Cause in 1948 they flipped Britain for the Newfies. Canada lost.

Newfoundland, described to me by a Canadian, where in 1955, the poor kids ate lobster and the rich kids ate peanut butter. Seeing the geography, I can understand that. Lobsters grow in water. Peanuts don't grow in rock, nor that far north (I think).

Oops. Sorry. Never saw it in print before and just assumed...

Don't look at me. I didn't decide anything. I always said it was a bad idea, but I wouldn't shed any tears for Saddam. I think my exact words were, "I don't see anything good coming of it." Going on memory. I hate to google myself.

That's my point - a few people decide and drag the country along - good or bad.

They are concentric circles. Froggy,

Can a train run on them?

And indeed, it is called all of those names. But "War of the Rebellion" is what the United States Government calls (called) it.

Since the winners get to write the history, I'll go with that, even if I don't find anything in the Constitution that prohibits secession. (Note that slavery was unfortunately allowed, at least until 1863.)

If I'd had my way, the North would have left the union, to seperate themselves from slaveholders.

Or reflect reality, I think Scott Adams (Dilbert) lives under a credenza in our building.

And the winners write history. The losers get the bass boats.

Jay,

Something like 'Koom - ri' The Welsh national political party is called Plaid Cymry and that's how that part of their name is pronounced in English speaking UK.

Jim.

Eccentric, very, IMO.

Hah!

No, silly, that's an arpeggio.

Or did I mean archipelago? Pellagra?

It is - a whole 'nother state of mind :-).

As a Washingtonian, I really enjoy visiting. I'd probably move there if you'd have me - unfortunately the immigration quota for non-rich retirees is zero :-).

Or someone whose sense of humour differs from yours. :-)

Speaking of partly mistaken!

Same is true here. Libertarians and others have won plenty of state, local, and federal level seats.

The former Governor of Minnesota, Jesse Ventura, was neither Republican nor Democrat, but a member of the Reform Party. As of 2003, 600 Libertarians were holding elected positions nationwide (albeit mostly at city level).
