As a non-drummer, the jewels seem the most complex to me. For example, the Beatles drummer Ringo Starr is said to be extremely difficult to copy correctly because he had the uncanny ability to put just the right amount of "lag" in his drumming. I don't hear lag in Tom Sawyer, but in "Time stands still," "New world man," "Limelight" (packed full of NP jewels) there is perfect lag throughout. So, why would he say Tom Sawyer was so difficult.

Geddy Lee - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia

Rush has a tremendous drummer. I just never could quite get past that Canadian version of Yoko Ono on vocals.

Geddy Lee was born June 30, 1958, in Moosenosehair Valley, Eastern Canada, which is odd because Canada doesn't really exist (citation needed). His mother, Céline Dion, was raped by a masked attacker later revealed to be K.D Lang. Dion tried to keep Geddy a secret. She felt that he would damage her career more than the song that sank Titanic and drowned Leonardo DiCaprio's career. Geddy's birth was a miraculous one, at first the doctors thought he was dead because he made no noise at all. After running tests they concluded that his voice was in fact too high pitched for humans to hear. This made his childhood incredibly difficult. His only friends were a pair of white mice. They eventually got so annoyed with his high pitched screeching that they committed suicide.

Rush without Peart would be nothing.

I'm no Newk on this stuff but yes the Constitution reserved to the states all powers not delegated to the Federal Government, then that got muddied.

So where you have a disagreement you have preemption and the final arbiter over what is right is..



Therefore, it's a tax.

The war of Northern Aggression settled that matter.

So what would be interesting would be to see somebody light up a doobie in the smoking section at DIA, and then the TSA guys go berserk trying to enforce federal law... It would be quite entertaining.

And speaking of the ACA "tax". Do I get to deduct my health insurance premiums as "taxes".. or will we have to pay taxes on the imputed income we will "receive" from the DAL provided insurance? Somebody gonna pay for those bennies, cause we didn't build it ya know.

We can deduct our health insurance premiums. From the instructions for schedule A:


"you can deduct what you paid for:
Insurance premiums for medical and dental care, "

I hear rumors of us merging with them as well.

I just don't see how that will be approved. I think the DOJ fired their shot across the bow of the industry already. Next they'll just start shooting at the hull.
