  1. And Doug MacArthur wouldn't dare land at Inchon.
  2. Had a motley bunch of scientists not been brought to the Philippines in the spring of 1991, the Philippines would be in the discussion for the overall #1 seed. "Volcano Cowboys" by Dick Thompson is an excellent read about the evolution of the USGS volcanology unit from St Helens to Pinatubo.
  3. I want to know how many takes it took to get this sequence without everyone cracking up.
  4. So this one is headed for OT?
  5. I'm not any of these, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
  6. Wounds my heart with a monotonous langour. There is a fire at the insurance agency. Molasses tomorrow will bring forth cognac. John has a long mustache. Clementine can pick his teeth. The elephant broke a defense. . . . _
  7. When Lester Holt tried to fact-check Trump in the first 2016 debate, Trump went through him like he wasn't even there. And that was before he got used to doing it from the Oval Office.
  8. Looking forward to this. I thought that David Byrne was playing Oppenheimer.
  9. This getting built at the Pas de Calais?
  10. Speaking of which, what's the phrase to listen for on the OSINT or the communique from Kyiv to say the invasion is under way? I'm a big fan of "У Джона довгі вуса."
  11. Also, Split Rock Lighthouse is being lit tonight in his honor.
  12. None of Benito Mussolini, Nicolae Ceaușescu, and Walter Ulbricht were particularly charismatic and video friendly, but all of them were longtime dictators.
  13. Remember Derek Chauvin? The City of Minneapolis settled two more excessive force lawsuits yesterday from similar incidents from this asshole that occurred BEFORE he murdered George Floyd. That $36 million figure does not include the equipment, squad cars, and 3rd Precinct HQ that were put to the torch and are still being replaced. And depending on how you look at it, MPD is retiring his badge and number. No word if it will go to the rafters someplace.
  14. I hope he likes the disciplinary barracks at Fort Leavenworth.
  15. Tale of the tape, Clarence Thomas v. Roger Taney.
  16. Scott Walker is directly responsible for the blue shift in Wisconsin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Wisconsin_protests All of the Gen Z voters that have been going hard for Democrats over the last few years were in elementary school when Walker and his ilk rammed through Act 10 in February and March 2011. The Wisconsin teaching corps was in open rebellion, and no doubt a lot of students saw what happened and took it to heart when they came of voting age. Sowing is fun, but reaping is a bitch.
  17. Brewers for me. Speaking of teams that should be in the AL...
  18. ...something about riding with an outlaw...
  19. Book him, Danno.
