Wait, are you in Idaho? If so pick up a couple bottles of Ste. Chapelle Riesling special harvest. The 20-something unsophisticated palates will love it.

e: I like it too, but it's pretty much a dessert wine

Ste Chapelle is literally down the road from my house.

Hobbies: Golf, Dressage, any stupid rich-person hobby you can come up with, I do. Dogfighting? You betcha.

Worst quality: So good at fundraising, donors become homeless. Apply carefully.

In fact, the NFL's claim of 100 percent proceeds from auction and 100 percent proceeds from retail has translated to an average of just $1.1 million every year since they partnered with ACS six years ago. That's less than .01 percent of the approximately $10 billion the league made in revenue last year. And almost five times less than what ACS' other partners, such as Walgreens, manage to donate to the same program—a program that, again, gives zero dollars to cancer research.

Serious post for MIGF.

I know you started the Ebola thread. If you know people shipping chlorine (especially Calcium Hypochlorite) based disinfectants to Africa containerized please let them know they need to use shippers that have experience and training with Hazardous Materials, and not random rear end in a top hat who ships containers of household goods, clothing, and newspapers.

I bought a year's subscription once. Never again. It's like what would happen if the assholes behind Fortune, Details, Inc., etc, suddenly came on the "right" side of the class struggle. The most champagne of socialists. Find me something that is as intelligent as the Economist but not laissez-faire, and I'll read the poo poo out of it.

Blaming Germany seems to be the liberal talking point de jour when it comes to Europe's economic situation, so I'll assume the economist is some left-wing claptrap written by poors.
