  1. While you are at it, you could try driving it from High Island to Sea Rim on 87.
  2. This made me think of this thread https://x.com/mattyglesias/status/1883149980715917496?s=46&t=WQWp8jCL9d3WDAPBWICDFQ
  3. I don’t think a foreign government or agency of one was a party to the assassination, because that seems … messy? But for that matter I don’t think it’s accurate to say “the government” or “the CIA” killed Kennedy. I think some extremely bad people did, with complex personal and political motivations. It does seem possible that once the adults in the room realized what had happened they would have engaged their Soviet counterparts to assist with the clean up and avoid any dangerous misunderstandings, given Oswald’s background. A lot of this has to do with how I think about “conspiracies,” essentially, that the larger the conspiracy needs to be, the less likely is. In my scenario above, only about 8-10 people would need to know what’s going to happen, and only 2-3 would really need to understand the moving parts. In other words, it’s less a conspiracy and more of a plan. The “conspiracy” in my scenario is the cover up after the fact, but that could have been accomplished with exactly the kind of official obscurity that the CIA under Dulles and and his lieutenants specialized in, led by Dulles and his lieutenants.
  4. They served Trotsky a bowl the night he died. When Natalia asked him how it was, he said “Думаю, это нормально, но это не настоящий перец чили.”
  5. Maybe JJ could pry Shawn Watson away from Wofford.
  6. They had “white chili” though, whatever that is…
  7. Not exactly a hot take, but I believe the most likely reality is that: 0) The CIA was in a chaotic semi-mutiny following the firing of Allen Dulles and many of the old guard, Ivy League OSS leadership by Kennedy following the Bay of Pigs fiasco. Dulles was succeeded by military industrialist and nuclear regulator, Californian John McCone who was unable to manage or redirect the organization. 1) The assassination was orchestrated by an element in the CIA that was outside of the control of McCone and went rogue in connection with Cuba policy and contracted with the mob for additional shooters. 2) JFK was shot from the overpass by one of a team of 3-4 shooters 3) Oswald was a long-time CIA sleeper asset that happened to be ideally situated to be a patsy, but his availability for that purpose was largely an artifact of the circumstances. 4) Dulles used the Warren Commission to cover up agency involvement and the old guard was restored under Helms, and remained so until it was finally disassembled by George HW Bush, who more or less brought the agency under the control of the executive branch and White House.
  8. “Lordy, I hope there are tapes”
  9. Both sides, amirite
  10. Indeed he has no knowledge of any of that. This seems somewhat futile, but it’s your site.
  11. That seems like the best option. This just ain’t our year. Let O-Max and the kids grow up some and see what we can get in the draft and free agency.
  12. You seem unfamiliar with Christ’s gospel, particularly the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and especially The Beatitudes.
  13. That may be a function of your social circle, or it may be that the actually religious people you know are few in number and don’t pray on street corners.
  14. The bishop is called so by the church, in the same way that the president is so called by the electoral college.
  15. That’s sounds liberal to me. You’re not going around caping for the establishment of a lawless, weirdo-kleptocrat oligarchy because a Democrat did something you didn’t like.
  16. Maybe the real Nazis were the friends we made along the way
  17. “This just shows that both sides are corrupt” -Anastasis (probably) who is very serious about corruption
  18. First they said we needed a license to drive a car and I said nothing, because I was making toast…
  19. He’s not wrong. Our music is boring and our clergy tend to be too soft-spoken. Not super flexible about the beatitudes or what Jesus actually says we’re supposed to be doing, either. Even when it’s inconvenient. Ironically, Icono is an Episcopalian. Or was last I heard, at least.
  20. Not really. This is the culmination of several decades of policy choices.
  21. At the moment China is in a Demographic collapse which makes that extremely unlikely.
  22. Yeah pretty clearly. Also has an OC who does a better job with Howard’s skill set.
  23. Well he’s about to win a natty and will likely be the MVP, so your post is dumb and you should feel bad.
  24. Amazing how well that shit works when your QB is mobile and also throws a good deep ball.
