Nope.  Some crimes against humanity will not stand.  Mexican restaurants charging for chips and salsa is just such a crime.  Haul them before the Hague, and exact our punishment.

While I certainly agree with you in theory, as a practical matter, if I am in Colorado and feel like eating some mediocre enchiladas, I know going in that I am probably going to have to pay for my chips and salsa.  Do I like it?  No, I do not.  The first time it happened I was flabbergasted.  I believe I even contemplated what it would take to amend the Constitution to require all Mexican restaurants to provide complimentary chips and salsa.  But now I know the deal, and it is what it is.

Fuckin A.  This deal is getting worse all the time.  Even in NYC where there are no free drink refills and the enchiladas are even more mediocre, the chips and salsa are complimentary.

Should we take a road trip across the US, stop at every Mexican restaurant we come across, and work up a #6 on every one that does not provide free chips and salsa?  Is that a good plan of action?

A better term than imperfect is quirky hot. She is a perfect example of that.

That terrible Mel Gibson movie What Women Want was actually watchable because of Greer's character. Not only quirky hot but a tremendous character actress.

That's because CNN has truly become the anti-Trump network. The complete foil of Fox News. I long for the days when CNN wasn't commentary driven. 

I pos repped this mostly for the last sentence and the first. Accurate.

I think they happen to be the foil of FOX News at the moment as are most news outlets because they try to deal in facts and be accurate in their reporting. FOX abandoned that standard if they ever even had it. 

Should Trump lose and FOX not have a dictator to support, I think editorial decisions will give the appearance of CNN and other organizations standing down from representing political opposition. At the moment, there's not other way for them to do their jobs than to identify lies and liars of a party trying to gain permanent ascendancy by those means.

Big AMEN to TV news being commentary driven. Change the faces every two hours and say the same fucking things over and over and over. Unwatchable beyond about 30 minutes a day.

If something new breaks that I don't fully grasp, I'll let Rachel line it out for me; she's brilliant at that and seems to personify decency. Teamed with Joy and Nicole, she completes a threesome of solid commentary on a breaking political event. But I won't watch that unless there is something interesting to discuss.

CNN needs to get off their dead asses and seek news instead of relying on print journalists for substance. I think they only break a story if it walks in the front door and opens its veins on the editor's desk.

The ratings news is just delicious.

Trump came right out and admitted the only reason he wanted to do the whole dueling town hall spectacle is because he expected to get better ratings so he could brag about it.

Except having to pay to use bathrooms in roadside travel centers.  I know that's a thing in Europe, but it's fucking weird.

My only Euro roadside bathroom experience is from travel through rural Norway.  Norway has an excellent "gas station" culture -- they have nice gas stations in most every little town, and they offer quality dining as well -- the Norwegian gas station hot dog, the pølse, is a thing of transcendent beauty.  There is a hot griddle in most every gas station, where they prepare these:

 

But I digress.  All of the bathrooms are free.  And I recall a particular Shell station, on the outskirts of Alesund.  As we were leaving the town, the grumbles hit me.....and I went into their nice, clean bathroom, decorated with a pastoral floral motif.....and rendered it unusable for some period of time afterwards.  Don't know what upset my stomach, but it was indeed angry.

Then, several days later, as we returned to Alesund.....I had to make a similar emergency stop.  Ended up at the exact same Shell station, exact same bathroom, exact same result.  I imagine that the staff at that location decided to hate Americans after that week.

But at least I didn't have to pay for the privilege of committing such atrocities.

Y'all really should try the Norwegian hot dogs, they're ridiculously good.

No, the gastric distress on the front end was prior to any hot dog consumption, and on the back end, hadn't had a hot dog in a while.  My son also experienced such an issue, and we tied it to consumption of too much fiskesuppe (heavy, cream-based fish soup -- really delicious).

 

 

The hot dogs are sublime.  And in a country where most grub is pricey, they're a cheap lunch.  Or even a cheap dinner.

I mean, hell....that's the way I feel about food, too.  I absolutely love a 5 course meal at Commander's Palace, and a glass of 20 yr old scotch.  But I also love me some ballpark nachos with lotsa jalapenos and a coldbeer.

It's frustrating. There isn't really a viable news channel I can go to when I want a news update at off hours, because evenings are dominated by our son. BBC is fine, but it's a worldwide focus. PBS is at the wrong time. There isn't a fucking news channel that cares about delivering the news, just like ESPN isn't a fucking sports news network it's sports entertainment. It pisses me off there isn't an alternative out there. Capitalism at work. 

I get leads from here. I also spent $39 to get email stories from the Washington Post for a year. It goes up to about $140 after that. Worth it.

I browse my junk mail and open what interests me. I'm liking it. I also like to support at least one newspaper that finds news. It's strange that I used to read a paper every morning and loved the Sunday paper during football season to read all the articles about the Longhorns and other college games. I just about never buy a paper now.  Sad.

I should check out other news orgs. I think it was Cox that was on top of the Iraq invasion lead up and what was being sold as truth. That deserves some kind of reward.

Can't recommend it highly enough.  A longer return trip to Norway is very much on our list.  Functioning country, great and friendly people, and the prettiest scenery, hikes, etc. I've ever seen.  And, you know....great hot dogs.

Let's be honest, it's not hard to get the numbers for covid right, it's not hard to interview infectious disease experts and doctors who tell the truth.

That's exactly what's good and what's bad about CNN et al. The do the absolutely easiest thing available and don't bother even with other easy things.

They endlessly report number of infections and deaths. Full stop. Not going any further. Audience can't handle more than that (or we can say that so that we don't have do any more work). 

WHAT IS THE RATE OF PERSONS INFECTED WHO SUFFER GREATLY/MILDLY?

WHAT IS THE PROPORTION OF THOSE WHO SUFFER TO THOSE WITH LONGTERM ILL EFFECTS?

HOW MANY PEOPLE WITHOUT SYMPTOMS SHOW LUNG DAMAGE? (I saw a reputable story in the spring that said that spots were showing up on lung x-rays of the asymptomatic. Not a word since.)

I also haven't seen much detailed explanation (as I did in an Atlantic article) about how much concentration of the germs is required for it to nest. Most of the anti-mask idiots think a single droplet slipping between the threads of their masks will get them. No. It takes thousands if I recall correctly.

A CNN intern could get this information on the phone or by email in under half an hour, I'm sure. 

I despise CNN for their laziness and for trying to fulfill every reporter's dream of hosting an opinion show where they can presume to explain the news (they avoid) to we poor, earnest simpletons who just can't get our widdle minds around something unless it's explained twenty times by twenty people using the same words.

Okay. I'm going to go get some sedation now.

The other thing is that men are just more brazen about it. If you are within earshot of women watching a TV show or movie and they don't think any men are listening they basically make the exact same comments about the men they're watching. I mean I agree that it's silly but it happens.

Honestly didn't think Biden would outdraw him and I think that's a tremendous sign that Biden is winning over "independents" who want to see him discuss his agenda. 

What is the final debate format and who is the moderator? If you're Biden, I would use the town hall as an example of how the next debate should go and if Trump cannot agree to not interrupting then Biden shouldn't do the final debate.
