    Vote The Boss Speaker of the train-wreck House on Capitol Hill. Nobody would dare challenge him.

    Is that supposed to be the fraction 9 / 96 = 0.09375 ?

    If he’s fathered around 70% of the cubs in his region, won’t that greatly increase the chance of inbreeding in his region? Such as his male offspring breeding his female offspring, or him breeding one of his female offspring? Is the remaining 30% of the population enough to ensure genetic diversity? Or in a few years from now will that region start having inbred bears with crossed eyes, crooked teeth, deformed limbs, mental impairment and possibly start playing banjos? Inbred grizzlies is a SCARY thought!

    Bill wakes up with a huge hangover.

    He forces himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins and a glass of water on the side table.

    He sits down and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed.

    Bill looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotless, and clean.

    So’s the rest of the house.

    He takes the aspirins and notices a note on the table “Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to go shopping. Love you.”

    So he goes to the kitchen and sure enough, there is a hot breakfast and the morning newspaper.

    His son is also at the table, eating.

    Bill asks, “Son, what happened last night?”

    His son says, "Well, you came home after 3 A.M., drunk and delirious.

    Broke some furniture, puked in the hallway, and gave yourself a black eye when you stumbled into the door."

    Confused, Bill asks, “So, why is everything in order and so clean, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me?”

    His son replies, "Oh that! Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your pants off you said, “Lady leave me alone, I’m married!”

    What a baloney statement on Boreal Forest. That number is all Canada has left after destroying so much with peat mining and logging. Some logging is replanted but with inferior, fast-growing species.

    OK, here’s the deal… everyone thinks Jason is an idiot, but actually he is 27 years old with the mind of an 11 year old, and lives in his parent’s basement with only his snake to keep him company. Pretty sad.

    I must admit, he is rather annoying. I skip over any comment of his I see.
