  1. Plus, all the bird eating on Tuesdays. Biden did NOTHING to stop Tuesdays when he was President..
  2. Word!! Everything about that place rocks. The first time I went in a men’s room stall there and saw the sign saying “call this number if you’ve soiled yourself and we will come assist you” - I knew those folks had their shit together and were all about helping patients with the myriad horrible problems that came with the disease. your wife and MD Anderson are about to kick some serious cancer ass
  3. Bullshit! That’s just like saying global warming is true even though it’s really cold at my house right now.
  4. I guess you like reading articles written by stupid people. To blame the modern GOP for acting like cult member lapdogs because Ford pardoned Nixon for his criminal behavior at a time when the country was at historic divisiveness because of the Vietnam war is something someone could only come up with while on mushrooms. All of the cult members pledged to support him even if he was convicted of his many and varied criminal enterprises. None of the cult members even remotely care what happened in the early 1970s….although I have heard from many that nothing Nixon did was as bad as wearing a tan suit and eating fancy mustard.
  5. She should only be wearing one glove… ”E- heeeeee!”
  6. Did you recently get hit on the head and forgot that president trump committed all kinds of actual criminal acts? Or were you hit on the head as a child, in which case you have, my sympathy.
  7. Put my cock in a 26° box? Sir, I’ve been divorced for over a decade.
  8. He has to admit it if we ask him
  9. There is a gorgeous red rooster who just has adopted our law office open patio. I threw him a piece of bread which he immediately scarfed down. I know nothing about roosters and how well they do in 25° weather, but I cut a hole in a large box and put it outside if he wants to get out of the wind. If he doesn’t survive, first, you make a roux…
  10. Number eight would be really good for ski season, you know, like doing Air Chairs
  11. Are you gonna post this again when the orange shit stain pardons the J6 guys? Nah….
  12. Because motive is never a part of critical thinking when examining why a person said what they said, right? God, you cultists are dense.
  13. that is a great way to phrase it. Exactly what I was trying to convey.
  14. And will the years of attorneys fees for the Democratic defendants cost any less than if the charges were real? Acquitted hastily and dismissed may have to come from circuit courts overturning the Cannons of the world. Quickly in the legal world is still hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of fees. That is pretty effective persecution no matter the ultimate result.
  15. Fortunately, the RealFeel is warmer…
  16. Hopefully our largest war material delivering planes are leaving the tarmac as the inauguration starts, delivering the last missiles and artillery shells and howitzers and drones to Ukraine. “Wait! Those were not all drawdown stuff? Shoot. My bad…”
  17. Historically, I always root against the Irish. I have a soft spot in my heart for Ohio State. This general feeling is complicated by the fact that I really, really like the Notre Dame coach, and I really, really detest Day.
  18. The minute you have a constitutional convention - or an attempt to amend the constitution - every red state wacko is going to insist on constitutional protections against trans people and climate change and bird killing windmills, and abortion…and doing away with that whole ‘immigrants get to go to our country and their children be born as citizens’ stuff. Also, Trump gets on Mount Rushmore and Jesus is Lord over the USA. And while those things will not happen because 2/3 of the country will not allow it, that does not mean that 2/3 of the country will agree to all of the reasonable protections against the dumb Fuckery we are experiencing will occur. Because, you know a significant amount of the American voting population and their elected officials are all for dumb Fuckery.
  19. I have a 20 year term policy that ended about two years ago. I started looking for replacement term insurance as a cancer survivor, and was told all the blah blah blah about increased premiums, reduced benefits, an add-on “you had cancer once” penalty etc. I tend to wander through PubMed from time to time, looking at the latest stuff on colon cancer, especially return of colon cancer, and I see that someone who is my sex and age who has never had cancer would have a 3% chance of contracting it in their lifetime. I found a couple of long term studies that showed a breakdown of colon cancer returning by a lot of categories. On the age and sex category, the chance of that same person my age and sex having colon cancer again is between 1 and 2%. So even though the underwriting shows less of a risk for me than if I had never had cancer, insurance company gonna charge me with a cancer premium penalty multiplier that is untethered from medical and actuarial evidence. Capitalism and all. But returning to the point I was trying to make, the fact that I now pound vitamin C, D and E, watch my diet and exercise more -and get numerous bloodwork and scans and colonoscopies - undoubtedly makes the reoccurrence (or at least a fatal reoccurrence) less likely then some dude my age walking down the street who never had cancer. That and medical marijuana are a couple good things that came from me getting cancer I guess. And maybe one other. My ex-wife is rumored to have said about my cancer diagnosis: “Ubet always infuriated me with his risktaking and never worrying about anything…this is only gonna make that worse”. She was right.
  20. here is a real world example. My late father was a fine man and most of his life he followed the rule of law in all practical circumstances. While defending the town of St Vith during the battle of the bulge the Germans brought in large number of eastern front troops for the attack. On the eastern front there was no such thing as the Geneva convention or basic humanity being followed. You killed citizens, you executed prisoners, and that is how they rolled. Those SS troops engaged in what’s called the Malmedy Massacre, where captured US troops were machine gunned after being put in an open field. The SS shot the bodies with pistols to be sure they were dead, and SS troops who drove by in trucks would shoot them as well. So how did my decent father and his comrades respond to this? According to my dad, he said, “For a time after that we did not take SS prisoners. They were the ones who changed the rules - so we adopted the same rules…” Breaking the rules is always enjoyable and efficient - until you are no longer the ones breaking the rules. An often unrecognized reason not to violate the rule of law is because you cannot guarantee that you will be top dog forever, and once the rules are changed, they can be turned on you.
