The problem's of course when there are disagreements on what is and isn't [ir-]regular. How about busty women? A great many men <span style="font-style:italic;">like</span> a busty woman, but up until now a British department store has been <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/05/08/2565129.htm">charging extra</a> for over-sized busts. <span style="font-style:italic;">Huh?</span> Does this place have, like, <span style="font-style:italic;">any</span> competition?<br /><br />Well, I might just leave it to you to decide if charging extra for bigger busts is a permissible practice.

Either he understands how translators work or he hasn't a fucking clue. He dished a real mind-blower recently, calling the seizure of American facilities a "<a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8041366.stm">revolutionary offensive</a>." Note to the Chavster: it ain't a "revolution" if the government does it, but hey it sure as hell was offensive.<br /><br />Kinda like that <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Open-Veins-Latin-America-Centuries/dp/0853459916">book</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6723826434009980095-6538700667866211555?l=emorypro.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Geewhizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11768665070410337249noreply@blogger.com0
