Re: Fan Mail
OK, he hates furriners who shop at Sears. I know what he's talking about, because I've seen them too! When the Sears at the South Forks Mall in Grand Forks, ND, would have its big annual sale (Memorial Day? Labor Day? After 35 years I forget which it was), they'd be flooded with Canadians taking advantage of our sale!

Fence
... flooded with Canadians ...
That's because you don't have a fence on the border to keep them out.
Down here in Arizona we do have a fence, well ... part of one anyway, and our Sears sales get very few Canadians.

Down here in Texas we gotta river and we do get them Canadians. Stores even hire extra folk that can speak Canadian and UP.

You can't keep us out with a fence. We'll just build a snow ramp on our side and jump it with our snowmobiles.

Wow, interesting read. Glad I bought my mower before he took over.

This seems to be a theme. Allow me to introduce Aldo Rebelo:
Mr. Rebelo is a deputy for the Communist Party of Brazil, and is of the school of thought that climate change is a nefarious conspiracy cooked up by neo-colonialists in Washington and Brussels to keep emerging economies in subjection. he had this to say on the evidence:
quote:
Science is not an oracle. In fact, there is no scientific proof of the projections of global warming, much less that it is occurring because of human action and not because of natural phenomena. It is a construct based on computer simulations.
In all its wisdom, the Brazillian government has decided that this is the man they want to serve as the new Minister for Science and Technology. The mind boggles.
