Allen West: Patrick Murphy Had To 'Cheat To Beat Me'

"Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) eventually [URL="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/20/allen-west-concedes_n_2163837.html"]conceded defeat[/URL] in his race against Democrat Patrick Murphy after weeks of fighting the results, but more than a month since the November election, the conservative firebrand is still not willing to say that Murphy's win was legitimate. In fact, during a [URL="http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2012/12/10/1308921/allen-west-cheating/"]recent interview[/URL] with radio host Mark Levin, West suggested outright that Murphy had actually cheated him out of victory."


WAAAA!

Regarding our last China-related discussion, Tegra-related discussions, and the joke with Dacia which I posted here around, I was delighted today to find all 3 topics in a single [URL="http://www.fudzilla.com/home/item/29805-dubious-source-xiaomi-working-on-tegra-4-phone"]web link[/URL]... Not so much for the "news" page, it would go better to the soap box area, but I wish at least 10% of that news to be true... (wish granted, but.... :razz:)

[QUOTE]See that deep purple in the middle of this acne-red weather report from Down Under? That right there represents 129.2° F or 54 °C — it's a brand-new shade that the Australian bureau of meteorology was forced to add to its heat index because their country is, you know, kind of on fire.

Thank god it was not in the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%A6rdal_Tunnel"]longest tunnel[/URL] in the world (we once drove through it).

[QUOTE]The (24.5 km) tunnel does not have emergency exits.
There are 15 turning areas (!) which were constructed for buses and semi-trailers. ...and three large caverns.[/QUOTE]

It is not cheese as most people know cheese. [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brunost"]It is a condensed whey product[/URL]. Ekte geitost is very tasty. Fresh it is very good, as opposed to being shipped and sold weeks later. Good by itself or, as I was taught by a Norwegian, toast bread from a nice loaf under the broiler, smear some lingon berry jam of the toast and lay a thin layer of the ekte geitost on top.
