  1. Wait, we like elite universities now? I thought they'd have automagically turned you into some kind of librul faget.
  2. Assuming we're talking about a 77 T/A. The 455 was no longer available. Engine choices were a Pontiac 400 that made 185 and an Olds 403 (the subsequent 6.6) that made 180. The Pontiac made 325 ft-lbs of torque, though. The Oldsmobile engines suffered mightily under emission controls, moreso for their displacement than other GM engines.
  3. Defend Matthew Fucking Gaetz as Attorney General of the United States. I double dog dare you. Besides his personal unsuitability, he has fewer than two years as a practicing lawyer. The rest as political hack.
  4. This whole concept of "appointing loyalists" is probably doomed to one degree or another. Trump's narcissism is so mercurial, I'm not sure there's much of anyone with the megalomania to want one of these positions to satisfy Trump's loyalty tests over any significant period of time. The whole thing is so "I'm gonna get mine" that I think it's unsustainable.
  5. So, two items of supposition are missing from that affidavit: whatever incriminating information Bart provided and whatever incriminating information Brad's partner in body disposal provided (although he is at least mentioned). Is it common for LE to withhold some evidence from a PC affidavit like that? Leave some ammo for a probable cause hearing or trial?
  6. You don't have to dig very far. Fox News is definitely the highlight of his career. He's a grifter.
  7. True, but he was also very likely a genius and had experience running large bureaucracies in FoMoCo.
  8. Ok, great. I'm sure the great unwashed can do that, especially with that stay-at-home mom or dad. And those "University Model" schools are missing from entire states and swaths of states all over the place.
  9. Yeah, I'm Christian as well, but one cannot ignore the centuries of corruption, oppression, and murder at the hands of the church. Mostly the Roman Catholic Church, but some others as well. Not anymore than you can ignore slavery and a bunch of other shitty stuff the United States has done. @workswithseed isn't a malign presence. I mean hey, he's in his 20s or early 30s and bought a house without a STEM degree or some other connection. That is significantly against the odds these days.
  10. Well, I'd say that because his service was in the Minnesota National Guard, he's less qualified than the average O4. Not that I am impugning his service per se. And, normally you'd think he'd be well-advised by senior civilian and military staff, but you can't count on that anymore.
  11. Yeah, usually. Or at least some experience in the DoD. This guy is woefully unqualified.
  12. Three children (not their mom), three steps, and a bastard. Tits McGee there is something of a whore, and so is he. In addition to being a dbag deluxe.
  13. A Major, who has never served in the regular Army.
  14. So reparations are cool for white people who suffered the absolute indignity of not being admitted to their college of choice over the last maybe 25 years. But reparations are not cool for a race of people we held in bondage as chattel slaves for about 75 years. Make it make sense.
  15. Differing opinions, imo.
  16. I am psychotic about , which as a non-restrictive clause.
  17. My dad was an excellent writer, both in terms of rules of grammar and style (and word choice) and a sort of compositional rhythm. He was not formally musically trained, although his sister/my aunt was an excellent pianist. I think I'm too much of a technician and lack that musicality to be very good at that. And that is reinforced by the time I spend drafting patent claims, where stray words are trouble. But my clarity is usually pretty good, unless CaptainAnt is reading my shit.
  18. Ok, then. The non-sectarian established private schools are around $30k/year. What's the alternative?
  19. And private Christian schools are? C'mon man, we had this conversation in private years ago.
  20. The assumption underlying all this is that normal people are so weak-minded that the occasional ridiculously liberal professor immediately introduces groupthink that can never be overcome. Of course, that's the way it works with their media sources, so I guess its certainly true of them.
  21. Wait, like you Trumpists choose how someone can be a "righty"? Liz Cheney would like a word.
  22. It kind of cracks me up when people put "whether or not" in questions presented./lawdog talk Part of it I guess is that questions presented often try to pack in as many words into a sentence or two as is humanly possible. And "or not" are a couple of throwaways even if you're not being pedantic.
