What's the difference between a burro and a burrow?

Quote:
BURRO AND BURROW: One is an ass, and the other is a hole in the ground. Can't you tell one from the other?

UPDATE: Reader Phil Snyder passes along another point: "Burro -- An ass. Burrow -- A hole in the ground. Bureau -- A organization of people who don't know the difference between the first two."
--from Eugene Volokh's blog.

In English, ass is another word for donkey.

"Any of several hoofed mammals of the genus Equus, resembling and closely related to the horses but having a smaller build and longer ears, and including the domesticated donkey."

Definately a good line

(from the blog)
Why would they filibuster Estrada? What they can't come up with real arguments for him to not be on the circuit court so they decide to filibuster him!? How lame is that? Just because he's hispanic? I don't agree with hiring him just because he's hispanic (which maybe the case here I don't know, I'm not familiar with the topic) but certainly NOT hiring because he's hispanic is certainly a load of bull.

Outdoors I've noticed that

there are TOO many super-intellectual Subjects and discussions lately.

Is that to keep me out ?
