I too used to wonder at cousins and brothers going to war with each other, until my Dad died and the person I now refer to as my ex-brother proceeded to eff with my inheritance. <br /><br />That kind of intra-family violence now seems perfectly natural to me, and if I had hundreds of retainers and millions of subjects I'd declare total war on his ass and have his head brought to me on a plate.<br /><br />That's only if I were a sovereign monarch, you understand. Unfortunately, I am subject to the laws of the United States of America, so I'm not allowed to hurt the worthless piece of dog poo.Justthisguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17277333206171756636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-69864368677709408702010-08-07T01:49:27.257-04:002010-08-07T01:49:27.257-04:00Oh, and Collies.

I quote here from Temple Marie Grandin's book, "Animals in Translation", page 82: <br /><br />"The problem isn't just the reduced space for the collie's brain; it's also the weird shape of the skull. I would expect to find that the progressive narrowing of their faces has distorted collie brains anatomically. But whatever the cause, their intelligence has gone down so far that I call collies brainless ice picks. It's a horrible thing to have done to a nice, and beautiful, dog."Justthisguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17277333206171756636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-28774049221881800502010-08-06T03:26:34.596-04:002010-08-06T03:26:34.596-04:00Don,

And that's only on Kerry's mother's side, as his father's family were suicidal Czechs who turned Catholic and adopted an Irish name when they moved to Boston, supposedly to avoid anti-semitism. <br /><br /> But also quite possibly to avoid connection with several swindles back in Prague. I'd say Kerry got into the right business. I'd wonder if his Grampa was proud of him, except the old boy stuck a revolver in his ear in a downtown Boston men's room one afternoon.<br /><br /> Considering that Kerry managed to both shoot himself with a grenade launcher and blow himself up with a poorly laid demolition charge, I'd say gun control makes sense for Boston politicians.<br /><br /> Staghounds, the incidence of marriage between first cousins in the Moslem world has dropped to a bit less than 50% in the last 40 years, down from about two-thirds. <br /><br /> Of course, after a dozen centuries of the real thing, I imagine the term second cousin has about the same weight. No wonder the Lebanese used to own everything.
