Mary Cheney claims that during the debate when John Edwards brought up Cheney's lesbo daughter, she looked Edwards in the eye and mouthed her dad's infamous words at him.

Mary Cheney. What a complete and utter turd she is. Can't go up on stage with the rest of her family during the RNC, completely silent while this administration goes anti-marriage equality... Who the heck wants to read her book now? Complete sell out. When we're both put into the same concentration camp, I'm gonna totally hit her with my purse.

I can't remember which brand, but one of those bars was the best chocolate bar I've eaten in my life, and I've sampled plenty.

Yeah, we have a fairly large Russian population. The only problems I've heard of is with the Russian gangs stealing cars, but that's about it.

There are a couple large Russians communities in Seattle (or at least there were a decade ago. I assume they're still there. And down in the Portland/Vancouver area their numbers swelled following the fall of the Soviet Union. By the end of the '90s my mom's employees were all almost entirely Russian immigrants.

In San Francisco about 200 out of the 1,500 people in my division at Wells Fargo were Russian immigrants (almost all worked in QA, there is a QA school in San Francisco that caters to Russians).

My experience is that most are legal, though, as the quota restrictions on Russians were pretty lax following the end of the cold war. I don't know if they've been tightened since.

Where do the smaller Russians live?

I apologize, I'm in a silly mood. Aren't you glad you don't work in my office with me?

There are no small Russians in the United States. Tha бабушки all get left at home.

For the record, I never said that opposing illegal immigration was racist. I said that implying all (or most) Hispanics are criminals is racist. Different issue.

JW, I completely understand what you were saying. I'm irritated by people who think that opposition to illegal immigration is de facto racism.
