The same way you do now. You advertise the job for a certain amount of time in a newspaper, and if no one responds or will accept it, you can hire a foreigner.

Read all about it at the US Citizenship and Immigration Services website.

What's the matter? Can't get any U.S. citizens willing to muck your stalls?

There's also the Star Wars Holiday Special, and calling it a "mistake"is unfair to all other mistakes. His explanation:

"George Lucas, original concept
(from interview with Maxim magazine, May 2002)
MAXIM: Any plans for a Special Edition of the Holiday Special?

George: [hangs head] Right. That's one of those things that happened, and I just have to live with it."

Doesn't sound so intelligent to me.

And mice are mammals, but Hank's the only one around here playing Flowers for Algernon.

Yeah, you're not obsessed with me.

By posting to this board you are showing you have faith. How can one argue about politics if we don't assume a common set of ethics. If we say something is wrong or not right, we are assuming there is some sort of universal ethical code that applies to all of us. Without such a universal code such words as right or wrong, moral or immoral are meaningless. Without a code, every issue that is placed before the board would be either in my interest or not in my interest. There would be no argument about right or wrong. Just - is this policy good for me or bad for me. But no one argues that way. Everyone assumes that there is a morality that is common for all of us. And such a code, if it exists, must have been designed by someone or something. In otherwords the code had to be put together by some higher intelligence. Every time you post to this board you are showing your faith.

I can't believe that no one freaked out over this post. Are there not any Atheists or Agnostics on this board?

Personally, I was busy calculating how much Frist2008.com dropped in value in the last two hours.

Agreed. He got rolled.

He may have gotten rolled but I don't see how that effects his chances in 2008. Most voters will have completely forgot about this by 2008 (Even if they noticed in the first place). In addition, this is not the sort of event that a voter or a donor will consider when deciding who to vote for.

Then why did Frist care so much about it? You're probably right, but he didn't deliver for the christian right. Will they deliver (the $$$) for him?

The compromise was the best thing for the country. fuck him.

plus he wasn't a real prez candidate anyway. You can't openly kill cats and get any women's votes.

He put a bunch of moderate Republicans in a situation they really didn't want to be in, so they found a better way out.

Still got rolled. Should have thought ahead. Trent (who I hated) would never have been in that position.

If you're caught trying to play cards you don't have, is that getting "rolled"? You're right that he should have thought ahead. I don't think he ever had the votes, and was counting on ratcheting up the heat to bring the moderates over.

Frist is the victim of unrealistic expectations on his party's part, but he's also a crappy leader.

Not only did he not have the cards, but they dealt a new hand and didn't deal him in. This was a big fuck you by the rank and file to the leader.
