  1. Yep. Part of my wellness plan over the next decade is to focus on the existential threats, and climate is the main one. I've believed for the past couple of decades that the first party to fully embrace economic affirmative action and oppose all other forms of affirmative action would get a big electoral advantage. I think the Dems need to pivot to that now -- accept the attacks on affirmative action and diversity but only with the proviso that we are going to practice economic affirmative action. The blanket "protected class" language is going to be useful only in individual discrimination lawsuits from now on.
  2. New trump renaissance era surly motto: Save the Bauhaus!
  3. Plus, it's fun to have a woman touch your pickle.
  4. So when we do spring cleaning, my wife takes a room and I take a room. After a day, I've thrown away two things and read a bunch of old books and looked at old stuff and plugged in stuff I'll never use again. She's basically taken a truckload of shit to the good will and half priced books, and will invariably include a few things I wish she hadn't, but then I'll forget about them in 24 hours. She cleans the government like MAGA and I clean like sleepy Joe. The question is whether after the gutting we will ever be able to "Build Back Better". I'm an employment lawyer, and I want to stress, in my opinion, solely based on my personal experience, the OFCCP is the most useless government agency I've ever dealt with. It's hard to imagine that they could not be - could have been more -- efficient or that we could craft legislation that achieves some of the same goals more efficiently and in fact, better. (Or in fact focus on attention on persons hiring economically disadvantaged without regard to protected classification).) I think the answer that most of you will gravitate to is - no, we may not ever have a chance to build back better. I probably still am the more optimistic school, but I'm not really sure why. Ending Radical And Wasteful Government DEI Programs And Preferencing – The White House It is being reported that President Trump has rescinded Executive Order 11,246, which has long required “affirmative action” programs for companies doing contract work with the federal government.
  5. No shit. A felonious President who just gave carte blanche to any goon who wants to assault, Brown Shirt style, any political rival or government official who stands in their way.
  6. In fairness, I think my wife has kicked me to wake me up the last 10 times I have been to church.
  7. Was at the National Cathedral about six months ago. Didn't realize that Matthew Shepard is interred there --by my estimate in the lower level just below where the Trump family was sitting. Kid would be 48 now. Remembering Matthew Shepard - Washington National Cathedral
  8. simple minds = leader is alive and kicking
  9. Most Episcopalian's are nice but their conservative break-away gay-haters measure up against anyone.
  10. I'm still getting the dry heaves about the Ohio State game.
  11. O don't think thin the Dems have an SEC-ready O-line until 2037.
  12. I bet the pome isn't as good. I loved this and it bears repeating.
  13. I turned on the TV and I do like Melania's hat. Unlike this whiney woke Dem yellow dawg.
  14. God Bless Our President. Plus, day 1 is almost over. (I can't imagine any of my posts over the next -- well, the rest of my life -- being more substantive than this.)
  15. What's insane is how some people think that how an agency is run matters at all to any of these folks. These guys are there to fuck shit up and progress will be measured by the percentage depopulatioin of the agency (at least in DC) they can achieve.
  16. Cucumber tonic for the clarification and the win.
  17. We need an enforcer. Maybe the guy on the right from the portal for next year.
