  1. The food in Miami is incredible. The choice for dinner that night was La Mar by Gaston Acurio in the Manderin Oriental on Brickell Key, or El Carajo at the gas station next to the highway.
  2. That place is great. I left my wallet there one time on a business trip the night before I was flying home, and once I got it back I had a lot of fun going around like “I left my wallet in El Carajo I gotta get it, I got, gotta get it.” But at the time it was very stressful.
  3. So is Medicaid going to cover my Garcia Cambodia gummies or what
  4. It’s an orgiastic feast for the senses. A festival of sights, sounds and colors.
  5. Who’s getting commerce? Is Don Lapre available?
  6. Let's examine the case: Evidence cited Tyson was much more aggressive in the first two rounds Tyson did not slip punches he saw on them Tysons punches seemed to lack power in the last 3/4 of the fight Tyson did not react to obvious openings Tyson did not slip punches he saw coming Tyson biting glove One possibility is that Mike Tyson participated in rigging the fight. The other possibility is that he's 58 years old, recently recovered from an ulcer, was wearing 14 oz gloves, a notorious biter, and can't do 8 full rounds of what they saw in training highlights used to hype the fight.
  7. Actually yes. My daughter has met a Gideon. 2 years ago my daughter (no pics, you perverts) spent the summer driving the beer cart at the golf course near by. Made a killing in tips - $300+/day, but it was extremely hot and you have to hustle. One foursome on the course kept her busy for a couple of hours but didn’t drink alcohol - water, soft drinks, snacks, ice, etc. she probably served these guys 5-6 times during the round and they didn’t tip her once. Not cool but thems the breaks- or so she thought. She was refilling the cooler with ice next to the parking lot and one of these guys is on his way out to the car. He says, “hey wait, I’ve got something for you,” jogs over to his car, grabs something out and brings her … the Gideons New Testament and shares with her The Good News. So she’s got that going for her, which is nice.
  8. I was thinking about this all weekend, and I should have put George Foreman on the list, too. I didn't have him on there because I stopped at 10 and it was a spur of the moment thing, but the truth is that if I was ranking them from most to least likely to beat prime Tyson in Tyson's prime, Foreman would be near the top. We can take Jack Johnson off, since he's such a distant figure and there's so little film of him (and even less on his contemporaries) it's hard to think about a comparison in concrete terms.
  9. You like watching cock beating, do you?
  10. If only there were some sort of professional association that could oversee and weed out unethical legal practitioners before they were appointed to the bench.
  11. Exactly. The majesty of our legal system is that any very rich and powerful person can act with impunity.
  12. Anatole France was right about the bread. Here's why that's a good thing. - Twicehorn
  13. “May?”
  14. Shot: chaser:
  15. Ahem: And that’s exactly what happened
  16. Agree
  17. Middle Middle Middle Middle Depends on industry, job category, level of skill, etc.
  18. Very interesting. I’ll tell Pew. They’ve been doing their research wrong.
  19. I think we agree Tyson‘s peak was 86-89, and he was still capable of performing at that level in 90-91. I happen to agree with those who believe that the Tyson team avoided a match with Holyfield in 89-90, in part because he was the #1 heavyweight contender basically the entire time while Tyson was dicking around with Frank Bruno and Carl Williams, before losing to Buster Douglas. And who beat Douglas after Tyson lost to him? Oh right, #1 contender Evander Holyfield (if i recall correctly). As for Tim Witherspoon, it would have taken his best and they were stablemates on top of it, but it’s widely understood that Don King didn’t want Tyson in the ring with Tim Witherspoon and put him up against Bonecrusher Smith instead. In his prime Spoon would have been a very tough draw for Mike Tyson, hard to imagine he couldn’t have taken him the distance for all the same reasons Quick Tillis did.
  20. Well not for nothing, those aren’t solutions to anything and wouldn’t solve any of the real problems in our housing market any more than mass deportations would. Our housing crisis is a product of local zoning, cheap debt, and income inequality, in that order. But more importantly, the Democratic Party is all over the place on housing. At the local level they are often the worst offenders when it comes to protecting housing shortages and pulling up ladders of opportunity.
  21. I think the disconnect here is that when I talk about the *middle class*, I’m literally talking about the roughly half of the population that makes from 2/3 to double the median income (ie from about $60k-$160k which is clustered in middle of that range. There’s some overlap, but in general I think of working class people as non-management people who are lower or lower-middle class, ie middle but making less than median income. What I do not mean is high income people who feel economic strain because their discretionary income does not provide what they think it should. That strain is real and flows from some of the same structural problems in the economy that hurt the middle class, but they aren’t middle class people. What do you think is a middle class person?
  22. I don’t? I think I use “working class” and “middle class” pretty consistently when I’m talking about what Democrats should be doing or don’t do. I certainly should, I’m a partisan of the middle class, despite no longer belonging to it financially. Democrats walking away from the middle 70% of the the population, both in terms of policy focus and linguistically, is the main reason I stopped identifying with the party and left it altogether in 2016, since Hillary Clinton was the end-stage manifestation of that abandonment.
