To help you on your quest for drinking excellence in Santiago, I have found the following: Beer, Wine & Liquor -- Start your meal with a tangy pisco sour, the Chilean national drink made of the grape brandy pisco, fresh-squeezed lemon, sugar, and sometimes an egg white. Be careful -- they're potent. Chile is known for its excellent wine production, but the country unfortunately exports its very finest varieties to outside markets. However, you'll find that restaurants and shops offer a selection of good to excellent wine varieties at low prices compared to U.S. standards. A simple but decent red table wine such as Santa Emiliana, for example, sells for $2.50 in the supermarket. Apart from lager, you won't find a wide selection of beer in Chile. Escudo and Cristal are the major Budweiser-like brands, but there's also Austral, Becker, and the darker Morenita. If you're in the Lake District, order Kunstman, probably the best beer in Chile.

They probably have some cool old churches and museums... I would sample the local beer and liquor with reckless abandon, were I in your shoes, spreading the JACKASS Manifesto to the South American continent.

Yes, I've got some, but I figure they're part of what makes me who I am.

This is funny as hell. Don't know who wrote it, but he's a genius even if he isn't getting laid. Here 'tis: I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart. FOR EXAMPLE: One evening last week, my wife and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says "I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me." I said "WHAT??!! What was that?!" So she says the words that every husband on the planet dreads to hear... "You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man." She responded to my puzzled look by saying, "Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?" Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep. The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn't decide which one to take so I told her we'd just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said lets get a pair for each outfit. We went onto the jewelry department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings. Let me tell you...she was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis. I think I threw her for a loop when I said, "That's fine, honey." She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation she finally said, "I think this is all dear, let's go to the cashier." I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, "No honey, I don't feel like it." Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled WHAT?" I then said "honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman." And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, "Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?" Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either.

I think the answer would depend somewhat on how one defines 'friend'. I think that an attractive person will attract a lot of people, yet the # of them that are actually worthy of being called 'friend' will ultimately depend upon their personality and character - the word 'their' obviously being the possessive of the attractive person in question. An unattractive person might not get the same amount of attention, but might have more true friends. I think that any analysis would be most multi-variate in nature...variables including education level of the group under study, age, sex ration of the group under study, time spent under the proverbial 'scope, etc. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Very true - regardless of the color of the child or parents. Race-based AA does nothing to mitigate this for all kids in such scenarios - only a portion; less than half in fact. It DOES, however, make it possible for the son of a doctor to have an advantage in admission/employment scenarios over the child of a third generation tobacco farmer from Paint Lick, KY...or the son of an impoverished Lithuanian immigrant...or...etc. Isn't racial discrimination dandy? Now AA based upon parents' tax returns would be soooo much better. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Call it soundly defended if you like...I call in flimsily and ineffectively defended. Race plays absolutely no role in the choices one makes in life. Success is a choice. One chooses to excel in school, or not - be it a small school in Appalachia or an inner city school in the Bronx. One chooses to steal or not, be it from E.J. Hasty's Grocery Store in Nina Ridge, KY or from a 7-11 in NYC. One chooses to do drugs, buy a car one can't afford, live out of their means until the credit runs out, or any other myriad things which contribute to becoming financially destitute. Race plays no role in any of that. Certain races do have higher rates of poverty here in the US. I don't care. Race is not a factor that causes their poverty - it's their poor choices and/or those of their parents. Supporting racial discrimination for collegiate admissions and employment is a choice everyone must make on their own. I find it abominable and disgusting.

A few more factoids for factcheck.org to ponder. Jack Kelly: No shame The federal response to Katrina was not as portrayed Sunday, September 11, 2005 It is settled wisdom among journalists that the federal response to the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina was unconscionably slow. Jack Kelly is national security writer for the Post-Gazette and The Blade of Toledo, Ohio (jkelly@post-gazette.com, 412-263-1476). "Mr. Bush's performance last week will rank as one of the worst ever during a dire national emergency," wrote New York Times columnist Bob Herbert in a somewhat more strident expression of the conventional wisdom. But the conventional wisdom is the opposite of the truth. Jason van Steenwyk is a Florida Army National Guardsman who has been mobilized six times for hurricane relief. He notes that: "The federal government pretty much met its standard time lines, but the volume of support provided during the 72-96 hour was unprecedented. The federal response here was faster than Hugo, faster than Andrew, faster than Iniki, faster than Francine and Jeanne." For instance, it took five days for National Guard troops to arrive in strength on the scene in Homestead, Fla. after Hurricane Andrew hit in 1992. But after Katrina, there was a significant National Guard presence in the afflicted region in three. Journalists who are long on opinions and short on knowledge have no idea what is involved in moving hundreds of tons of relief supplies into an area the size of England in which power lines are down, telecommunications are out, no gasoline is available, bridges are damaged, roads and airports are covered with debris, and apparently have little interest in finding out. So they libel as a "national disgrace" the most monumental and successful disaster relief operation in world history. I write this column a week and a day after the main levee protecting New Orleans breached. In the course of that week: More than 32,000 people have been rescued, many plucked from rooftops by Coast Guard helicopters. The Army Corps of Engineers has all but repaired the breaches and begun pumping water out of New Orleans. Shelter, food and medical care have been provided to more than 180,000 refugees. Journalists complain that it took a whole week to do this. A former Air Force logistics officer had some words of advice for us in the Fourth Estate on his blog, Moltenthought: "We do not yet have teleporter or replicator technology like you saw on 'Star Trek' in college between hookah hits and waiting to pick up your worthless communications degree while the grown-ups actually engaged in the recovery effort were studying engineering. "The United States military can wipe out the Taliban and the Iraqi Republican Guard far more swiftly than they can bring 3 million Swanson dinners to an underwater city through an area the size of Great Britain which has no power, no working ports or airports, and a devastated and impassable road network. "You cannot speed recovery and relief efforts up by prepositioning assets (in the affected areas) since the assets are endangered by the very storm which destroyed the region. "No amount of yelling, crying and mustering of moral indignation will change any of the facts above." "You cannot just snap your fingers and make the military appear somewhere," van Steenwyk said. Guardsmen need to receive mobilization orders; report to their armories; draw equipment; receive orders and convoy to the disaster area. Guardsmen driving down from Pennsylvania or Navy ships sailing from Norfolk can't be on the scene immediately. Relief efforts must be planned. Other than prepositioning supplies near the area likely to be afflicted (which was done quite efficiently), this cannot be done until the hurricane has struck and a damage assessment can be made. There must be a route reconnaissance to determine if roads are open, and bridges along the way can bear the weight of heavily laden trucks. And federal troops and Guardsmen from other states cannot be sent to a disaster area until their presence has been requested by the governors of the afflicted states. Exhibit A on the bill of indictment of federal sluggishness is that it took four days before most people were evacuated from the Louisiana Superdome. The levee broke Tuesday morning. Buses had to be rounded up and driven from Houston to New Orleans across debris-strewn roads. The first ones arrived Wednesday evening. That seems pretty fast to me. A better question -- which few journalists ask -- is why weren't the roughly 2,000 municipal and school buses in New Orleans utilized to take people out of the city before Katrina struck? (Correction/Clarification: (Published 9/12/05) -- Hurricane Andrew struck Florida in 1992, not 2002.) Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
