This is locally variable. In some places, a fermented beverage whose
ingredients do not include hops cannot be sold as beer; the same is
often true for uncarbonated brews. "Malt liquor" may or may not be an
effective synonym for "barley wine" in some places.

The situation is at least as complicated as that of the varying
definition of chocolate between Belgium and England. This may have
changed, but at one time Cadbury milk chocolate contained too little
cocoa solids to qualify as chocolate by the Belgian standards, but it
reportedly contained just enough dairy content to theoretically be
able to be called "cheese".

The shifting definition of "Sterling silver" between different nations
is another example of locality-dependent terminology.

Let's see: massive recession with stagflation and credit markets
tumbling, $700b pointless war continuing, imported labor (direct and
indirect) eliminating most US based jobs, the Constitution and Bill of
Rights apparently no longer observed... no matter who we elect, at
least it can't get much worse.

Dolan and O'Bama are Jewish. O'Bama's family are slumlords.

Nope, he's a member of the United Church of Christ. His maternal
grandparents were Methodists who became Unitarians, and his mother was
a secular humanist agnostic.

Who is Michael Reisig? From my Google search, it appears he writes
works of fiction, not journalism. The rest of your quote lifts
straight from the email debunked by Snopes.com.

"Obama" is a Dholuo name, from the language spoken by the Luo tribe of
Kenya. His paternal grandfather was named Onyango Obama, and he was a
Catholic who converted to Islam, though the whole family did not
convert. Barack Sr.'s stepmother who raised him remains Catholic to
this day.

"Muslim Americans for Obama '08" is not part of Obama's campaign, but
Muslims who support him, posting what they'd like to see.

Takes one to spot one.
 
"Muslim Americans for Obama '08" are a swift boat splinter group

Arnold Shwarzeniggar is Governor of California

'Hank' is a front for the ANP

Au contraire. IMO, it can and it will, regardless of who wins. The
real question is whether we will elect another Hoover who, oblivious
to the concerns of the people whose plight he (or she) does not truly
understand or actually care about, will do nothing effective to start
making the significant changes that will be needed to build the base
for a less wasteful, more responsible future. And make no mistake;
digging out of the mess will take more than 8 years.

What I'd make of it is that you are an idiot for even thinking it is
credible enough to post, or a mindless troll if you know better.

We have a presidential election coming up, and we really need to elect
a highly capable person to fix the mess made by the current
administration. Why don't you try to do the country a favor and
treat it as a serious matter and not resort to adolescent innuendo?

If I didn't have him plonked, I'd treat a rant about something by
Dolan as being a pretty good endorsement of whatever he was attacking.
I'm sure I am not alone in this.

Or another Roosevelt who can take a minor dip and make all-time horrible
suffering and destitution of it.
You'd expect more of Bernanke - he wrote on this specifically. But no.

I was figuring on Sharpton for Sec of State. He's gonna **** other
countries off and cause damage to foreign relations for about the next
40 years - so figure it's just about the same as Bush.

It would probably just be better if he didn't vote.

Soylent Green - it's the other other white meat! Or perhaps he
