Cat Ass Trophy, I got willowed
The Whiskey Rebellion was where Washington's government needed to satisfy its debts from France and from the Continentals they printed to pay for the Revolution and promised full face redemption (due to the bankers buying them up at a knock down price on the secondary market and insisting on it) and he needed money. Hamilton suggested enforcing liquor taxes on the Pennsylvanian mountain farmers who brewed whiskey to deal with their excess grain crops, and when they tarred and feathered the tax collectors and sent them home, Washington and Madison sent Henry Lighthorse Lee with an army to bring them to heel. It could have broken the confederacy of states. Posted by: Kindltot at October 14, 2022 10:20 PM (xhaym) 35

William Devane was in an episode of NCIS where he was supposed to be some kind of bad-ass spook. All I saw was a fag who did not know how to hold a hand-gun. he was doing that '70s police procedural where he held it like someone who had never fired a weapon. Like it would twist his wrist if he fired. I never liked him. he was woefully miscast in that episode.

Today, if you say people of all races should be treated the same, you are considered a dangerous radical. Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at October 14, 2022 10:41 PM (1Nxff) 102

In thr most recent podcast didn't DaveInFlorida say something about the election being a bloodbath if the generic ballot went to +5 for Republicans?
He said +4 gets them past their (recent-past century) high in the House. And +5 was too nuts to even speculate on. Which must be why Fox was doing all the 'Republicans have no chance' election coverage I happened to see earlier. Posted by: Methos at October 14, 2022 10:42 PM (kOpft) 113

48, I can only speak about London on this subject, and my info is dated.
There are many outstanding chippies or fish and chip joints. The problem is there are way more crappy ones. Some are four the tourists and some are run by people who don’t know what they are doing, or don’t care. Nothing novel about this, there is a lot of crappy Italian food and gelato in Italy. The ones who do it right will always be the exception and stand out. I found four or five great fish and chips places in London. Of course there are many more but they have over a thousand. Sometimes the hunt is the fun, other times it can be a pain. For context, I cant think of a legit chippie at home in my part of the USA I would call great.

Read this in the news. This pisses me off. Mass panic in crowds is dangerous.
"According to the Dallas Police Department, officers responded to Fair Park after a large crowd came running out of the gate around 8:50 p.m. When officers investigated the incident, they determined there was no active shooter and no shots were fired. There were also no injuries reported, officials said. Karissa Condoianis, a spokesperson for the fair, told WFAA that some fairgoers were 'trying to create chaos' by running through the fairgrounds."

>> Kale, Cabbage, Brussel Sprouts, cauliflower, Kholrabi, and Broccoli are all from the same basic plant, Brassica Oleracea...
That blew my mind when I first learned that. Different cultivars, they're called, of the same species. Me, I've got the gene that makes Brussel Sprouts taste bitter. Taste awful. None of the other cultivars have that compound in the much. Sometimes the outer leaves of cabbage will have enough to taste, so I always throw the first couple layer of leaves out.

305. I am biased no doubt. I pretty much believe the Tex mex and American style Mex outside of Texas and CA is suspect. Here is where New Mexico chimes in. I have not had your food sans the Hatch chilies. The New Mex style I have had in Other states was not great.
I had to look upthread to remember my point. It had to do with hamburgers lol. In many parts of the USA you will see restaurants that call themselves Tex Mex. And on their sign or menu they have Pupusas. An obvious sign the owners are from El Salvador, not Mexico. Or maybe they just cater to an El Salvador crowd. Either way, I have never had great Tex Mex at a place that serves pupusas. Posted by: Quint at October 15, 2022 12:00 AM (eDL7B) 357

Love pupusas. DC area was actually the first place with a substantial Salvadorean population, back in the 80s. Good cheap steak, black beans (with the egg on top), and pupusas at inexpensive little places out in Arlington.

I'd certainly try them. But as I understand it. There's a certain compound in them in relatively high concentration.

If you have one copy, you will taste it a little bit. Two copies of the taste gene, and they will taste very bitter. That's me.

Good point, Miklos.
Though of course mass immigration to the US (even the legal kind) sometimes leads to funny situations. When the PM of Thailand would visit the US back in the 80s, he would of course go to DC (the WH), NYC (the UN), and ..... LA. Where he'd speak to the Thai community at Santa Monica Civic Auditorium (I saw him open for Dave Matthews ..... nah, that doesn't work). At the time, the largest "Thai" cities I believe were Bangkok, Chiang-mai, Chiang-rai, and ..... LA. Posted by: rhomboid at October 15, 2022 12:40 AM (OTzUX) 444

There is also an asparagus pee smell gene. When you eat asparagus, there is some compound there that is metabolized and excreted by the kidneys quickly. Everyone does this. But not everyone can smell it. At one time they thought maybe only some people metabolize it in the stinky way, but then they found, no, it was just some people couldn't smell it. I've got that gene too. I love asparagus, and I definitely pee outside if at all possible a few hours after eating it.

387 Rhomboid, research about cigars? Sure little has been done because few of the researchers and those that pay them care. I remember once hearing cigars had ten times the nicotine, tar, etc of cigs. Obviously the key here is premium cigars are not inhaled by 90 percent of smokers. Sure you inhale some breathing in a cigar room.
It is like smokeless tobacco, dip, etc. In the US they decided many decades ago that they were all The same, and all bad. To say one is less dangerous in even a superficial way is to destroy the pact they made. Posted by: Quint at October 15, 2022 12:45 AM (eDL7B) 454

J. Strom was legend. Sally Quinn, wife of Ben Bradlee, the "doyenne" of the Washington social scene was one. I've only seen the word doyenne used in reference to her. Anyway, her daddy was some general, who was big in the establishment, and her mother was the doyenne then. They had ol' Strom over when Sally was young in her early 20s, still living with them. Well, old Strom just came up in between Sally and her mother, and goosed them both on their asses at the same time. "Whoooo!", they both exclaimed at the same time.

Do I believe cigars are as bad as cigs, of course I do not. Premium cigars are not inhaled, that changes a lot of things. Some cigar aficionados say that proves it is a hobby and not an addiction. I would not go that far. The radicals mention US Grant. Sure that is anecdotal, but you can die from cigars. It is not common, but it can happen.

Never been to Argentina but, save perhaps for Florence, no one does steaks like US.
Posted by: Javems at October 14, 2022 11:14 PM (AmoqO) I have been to B.A. (Long story.) Granted, it was thirty years ago but back then, even the Mickey D's were delicious. Any steak I had out was sheer cookery perfection (a lovely red interior) and a most delicious and tender taste of beef on a plate I have ever had. Seriously, ever. I even had a late Saturday night parrilla (built in house grill) feast in the suburbs of all sorts of cuts of beef (plus ice cream delivery on a moped at around 3 in the morning). The beef back then was un-frickin'-real. I've had Texas beef (business trip), not just the slow-cooked b-b-q stuff, and it was properly cooked and quite good, but nowhere near what I had had in Argentina a year earlier.

Cigars are habit forming because the nicotine leeches into the skin. Hold a cigar, you get nicotine. Puff on a cigar, tons of nicotine. My personal view, And I have researched this for decades for reasons, is cigars are much safer than cigs but all are bad for you.
The one that gets me is smokeless tobacco. AKA dip, dealer, snuff, suns, chaw, etc. This category has historically been more maligned than smoking. The scientists hate it and anyone North of Mason Dix hates it. The irony is dip, suns, chaw, etc has been proven time and again to be less dangerous. I will leave you with one thing. Cig smokers are much more likely to develop mouth cancer than dippers. Think about what I just said. Posted by: Quint at October 15, 2022 01:00 AM (eDL7B) 478

Back in Strom's hey day (or is it hay day?), it was well known, that if you were a young female womyns, whatever you do, don't let yourself get cornered alone with Strom. He would attempt to assert senatorial privileges. My mother told a Strom story. This was in the '60s, before I was born. She got on some women's committee for Farm Bureau, I think. Or it may have been another one my father was in, I forget. Anyway, they'd meet with the legislative delegations from time to time. Ol' Strom came to one, and the "women's committee", well that was right up Strom's alley, so he made sure to go meet with them. They knew well his reputation, and made sure not to let Strom corner any of them. But he had to hug every single one of them.

Obviously smokers are more likely to develop lung cancer, emphysema etc. But people are shocked when they here smokers are also much more likely to develop mouth cancer than dippers or those who use suns. This one has been known for decades, but the press covered it up.
I remember when the war on dip started, it was the mid 80s. Some kid got cancer after dipping for a few years. That one suit put warning labels on the cans. Hell I used it for four decades.

Cigarette smoke is just nasty, particularly American cigarettes, that just reek of ammonia. I think cigarettes were invented as a way to market crap tobacco that was not fit to be used in cigars or pipes.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon What money Old Mama's Carolina fambly had was a combination of Tobacco and Corn farming, plus a few hogs, some chickens, half-dozen cows and a lot of moonshine.

I do occasionally think about what it would have been like to be in the military. I always felt like I missed something. The choice really wasn't mine. I got hit by a car when I was 7. The bicycle took more damage than me, but It left me with a really unpredictable back. At least once a year it would go out, sometimes twice, and would leave my not being able to walk or stand for 2-3 days. It got better over time to where it's long over and done, but it was still affecting me in my 20's. 3 of my friends went into the Marines after high school, one of them had a Marine recruiter in the family, his brother in law. He would always goof around with me and get me to join. I made an off hand comment one day, something about hoping they had light packs so my back don't collapse, and told him the story. He basically said forget it, if thats the case with an injury like that they'll just end up bouncing you and "you'll just be wasting uncle sam's time and money", and never brought up me joining again, like ever. So that was that.

There was one person in my basic training unit who should never have been there, as he was actually quite mentally retarded... This came to light at formation when his last name was called and he didn't respond -- he truly did not even know his own surname! He suffered a only a couple of days of extreme abuse by the drill sergeants and his fellow trainees until his unfortunate circumstance became known... He had to hang around for a couple of weeks until he was chaptered out, but he was taken care of at that point -- he was a good kid who was led astray by an overzealous recruiter, so we were told -- and at formation when the roll was called, the sergeants called him out by his first name! And he was allowed to do most of the stuff the rest of us were doing until he got out! Everyone was sad when he left, and we all hoped he was at least given a well-deserved honorary honourable discharge! Posted by: Zettai at October 15, 2022 01:55 AM (BF7OB) 536

The Texas Embassy is named after the real thing, established by the Republic of Texas in London in 1836 (They established one in Paris too). When Texas became a state it closed, obviously, and the ambassador and his staff returned to Texas. Amusingly enough, they skipped out on back rent. A delegation of Texans celebrating the Texas sesquicentennial 1986 visited the wine shop (the embassy was on the second floor, the first floor and landlord is a famous huge wine shop) and settled the debt. There's a plaque on the wall commemorating the embassy, but nothing else survives.

I got interested in this. Yep, state governments and even cities get into all sorts of relations with foreign govts. Article I, Section 10 says no state shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation with a foreign power. But then later, it says states can enter into "Compacts and Agreements" with the consent of Congress. Reading about this, there is much nuance to all this.

This is just a very murky area of law, apparently. The wording of Article I, Section 10's "Compacts Clause" would seem to indicate that Congress must explicitly approve all such state agreements with foreign powers. But they don't. States will do these things on their own, and the Sooopreme Court has been fine with it. Congress could veto any if it wanted to, that's clear, but they usually don't care. There are some principles the Court has set. No state can "do foreign policy". If a compact or agreement is "doing foreign policy" it's out. If it tries to regular international trade, do something agin' federal policy, it's out. This has produced some seemingly contradictory rulings over the years.

I did a shit load more, and so did many. I lived in a military family for 30 years. My father spilled a ton of blood and he had his own blood spilled. We moved every two years and all that entails.
I went to the toughest military school the nation ever had by choice. I joint the Army National Guard at 17. I used to go on drills while I’m High School. A fine chick loved my haircut. I mention this only to say and prove the term “veteran” has a particular meeting. Guys who skipped College and did a two year hitch are veterans. I am that guy they say thank you to and make a wink to the bouncer. In the end no one respects vets as do I. But I unlike most now know what the term means. It is not about raising a hand. It is about a debt the US government owes you. They would not want me in because that adds to the debt. Posted by: Quint at October 15, 2022 02:45 AM (eDL7B) 578

Don’t mistake me. I would never conflate combat service. With what I did no matter how well intentioned.
The Congress five or six years ago decided Army National Guard who served twenty years are vets. I am glad they did this but it is arbitrary. I did the exact same thing but for a shorter time. It is not about me, I am over it. My dad was a legit war hero, more than most you see in movies. I joined at. 17, why?, because I could not John at 16 (old bill Cosby joke). I. Only bring this up because there should be more vets, not fewer. Not everyone served and that is ok. How would you feel if you served 6 years; had all these memories, and legally it was if you were a brownie at a a Boy Scout convention? Posted by: Quint at October 15, 2022 02:59 AM (eDL7B) 589

Re Dana. The Fox makeup crew can get 'em looking purty good. It takes a while sometimes for them to get it right. I'm remembering, when she was first on the Five, or whatever, her hair was sort of hit and miss. Sometimes they'd get it right, and sometimes it was just wrong, making her face look odd. But they've got it right now. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (Mzdiz) at October 15, 2022 03:22 AM (Mzdiz) 615
