Well, if recent cosmological research is correct, it may well be that, like the universe itself, Kevin's ass is also expanding at a steady rate. Depending on the coefficient of expansion, his ass could possibly swallow Minnesota a some point during your lifetime. :P

Here's the guy's blog:

http://www.rifters.com/crawl/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Sounds a bit of a whiner. But ain't it great how all the writers are closing ranks to protect him? I'm surprised ole Kevvy hasn't jumped on the bandwagon with a Twatter or a blahg. :roll:

Is it wrong to think that this whole fiasco is George Bush's fault?

It's never, repeat NEVER, wrong to think that.

My God, the electrons that are being killed over this nonsense. What a waste.

Here's a thought: if Mr. Pretentious Wanker stays in his nice, warm car, none of this ever happens. Later, if he doesn't purposefully escalate the tension, he's out of there in under 15 minutes.

Where there's smoke, there's fire. It's not just some amazing piece of bad luck that out of literally hundreds of thousands of incident-free border crossings every year, this one ended with violence. In reading Mr. Dickhead's self-reverential blog, it's clear that he thinks he's pretty hot shit and above such petty concepts such as "law."

On a related note, I've got to stop reading SF/F authors' blogs. I'm finding that they all think they're so damn special. It just makes me not want to read any of their books.

Sigh. Crime fiction, here I come ...

Sorry. Needed to be said.

What has Comb-Over's lard-arse got to do with George Bush?
