Monday Overnight Open Thread (7/24/17) Nothing In Particular Edition
Quote I
Fettucini alfredo is macaroni and cheese for adults. Mitch Hedberg
Quote II
Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again. Franklin P. Jones
Quote III
However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.Sir Winston Churchill
Regardless of the threat, Malone has kept his faith in Olive Garden, and told Gizmodo that he thinks the letter is just “a misunderstanding by an overeager young member of their legal team, or possibly an automated system.” And he is right. An Olive Garden spokesperson told Gizmodo that allofgarden.com “was flagged through automated means and the letter was generated.” The company has since reviewed the complaint and determined that no action was necessary.
It’s been a hard week for ol’ Chipotle: On Tuesday, a franchise in Virginia closed briefly after multiple customers fell violently ill with what turned out to be norovirus, a throwback to the Great Chipotle Poisonings of 2015. But there’s more, because while burrito fans were getting sick in Virginia (and documenting their experiences in great detail), customers at a Dallas location complained that mice were falling from the ceiling, on account of what a Chipotle spokesperson said was a “small structural gap in the building.” (It has since been repaired.) And now, FOX31 reports, shareholders have filed a class-action lawsuit against the chain, claiming Chipotle “deceived them with misleading information that the company had fixed its problems with food safety and now stocks are sinking.”
Determined to prove the merit of George’s proposal, Magie invented and in 1904 patented what she called the Landlord’s Game. Laid out on the board as a circuit (which was a novelty at the time), it was populated with streets and landmarks for sale. The key innovation of her game, however, lay in the two sets of rules that she wrote for playing it.
One of Abraham Lincoln's greatest writings, May not have been written by Lincoln.
The rumor that Lincoln hadn’t written the Bixby letter was apparently started by the man who claimed to be the true author: Lincoln’s secretary, John Hay.
“From the scientific point of view, the sentence that the earth is warmed by human activity is as true as the sentence: The earth is round!” said Archbishop Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo. The archbishop has been a consistent and zealous promoter of manmade climate change as a non-negotiable Church issue, despite the status of care for the environment as a prudential matter. Climate change ideology continues to be contested as a ploy perpetrated with manipulated data by the left to enact environmental regulations and taxes. Even so, Archbishop Sorondo dismissed deniers of climate change in a recent Vatican Radio interview as “a small, negligible minority.”
Minority? I would be careful on the majority and minority outlook on things, Padre.
Yet one thing is certain – the level of parental involvement and supervision in the 1970s was not a tenth of what is expected today. Fast forward to 2014 and a woman was arrested for allowing her nine-year-old to play in the park while she worked. So what impact do increasing levels of parental involvement have on children? Let’s take a look at the evidence. A recent survey of children aged eight to 12 found that indoor play is now the norm, a third have never splashed in a puddle and the distance children are allowed to play from home has shrunk by 90% since 1970.
The next preventable crisis in the Arab Penninsula? Cholera.
"The great tragedy is that this cholera outbreak is a preventable, man-made humanitarian catastrophe," Maurer said in a statement. "Further deaths can be prevented, but warring parties must ease restrictions and allow the import of medicines, food, and essential supplies and they must show restraint in the way they conduct warfare." The report came as the number of Yemenis killed by the disease exceeded 1,800. Cholera, a highly contagious diarrheal infection spread through water contaminated by human waste, can be efficiently treated with the immediate replacement of lost fluids. Without treatment the disease can kill even healthy adults within a few hours.
Mayor de Blasio, a man of the people. Clean people that is.
Mayor de Blasio ventured into the city’s decrepit subway system on Sunday — but didn’t have to face the foul-smelling and often crazy vagrants that ordinary New Yorkers are forced to contend with every day. That’s because police were ordered to roust all the homeless people from two stations ahead of the mayor’s four-stop press event as he rode from his Park Slope gym to his new re-election headquarters in Downtown Brooklyn, law-enforcement sources told The Post.
Good work if you can get it. Dean Wormer he isn't.
Puliafito resigned his $1.1-million-a-year post in March 2016, in the middle of the spring term, saying he wanted to explore outside opportunities. Three weeks earlier, a 21-year-old woman had overdosed in his presence in a Pasadena hotel room. The woman was rushed to a hospital, where she recovered. Police found methamphetamine in the hotel room, according to a police report, but made no arrests. Puliafito has never spoken publicly about the incident, which is being reported here for the first time.
Are you familiar with Frank Zappa's Tinsel Town Rebellion LP? If you are, then you are aware of the Frank Zappa Panty Quilt.
Frank Zappa's 1981 tour featured a musical sequence called "Panty Rap" that you don't want your boss to hear at the workplace, due to the subject matter. He encouraged women to throw their underpants on stage. Many women responded, and bras were often thrown, too. After the tour was over, he commissioned this quilt made of the collected underwear. Emily Alana James is the artist who converted the clothing into a quilt
July 24, 1965, The Byrds were at No.1 on the UK singles chart with their version of the Bob Dylan song 'Mr Tambourine Man'. The first Bob Dylan song to reach No.1. The Byrds' recording of the song was influential in initiating the musical subgenre of folk rock, leading many contemporary bands to mimic its fusion of jangly guitars and intellectual lyrics. via thisdayinmusic.com
July 24, 1971, Paul Revere and the Raiders went to No.1 on the US singles chart with 'Indian Reservation'. The song was first recorded in 1959 by Marvin Rainwater and released as 'The Pale Faced Indian' and then later by Don Fardon in 1968. via thisdayinmusic.com
No word if this is the 2020 theme music for Liz Warren.
Neuroskeptic, a working neuroscientist who anonymously blogs about science for Discover, set up the sting, submitting the nonsensical study to nine scientific journals – only to have four of them accept it. The journals approached are among those sometimes described as predatory in science circles because they exploit researchers into paying fees to have their papers published in them. But in this case, three of the publications just went ahead and published the fake paper straight up – clearly not having read or checked it first – even without requiring payment of a fee.
Trump will not, of course, always be with us. But he will leave a mark on the culture and character of conservativism for a very long time.Yes, Hillary Clinton as the POTUS wouldn't have a left on mark on culture.
Taking Pride: The ‘Walmart Guy’ vs. Anti-Capitalism Millennials.
Though we have never met, I smiled recently seeing my favorite Walmart employee. For over ten years, I witnessed him gathering shopping carts in the parking lot. He is a white millennial who only has the use of one arm, walks with a severe limp and appears slightly mentally challenged. I once saw him leaving work driving a new looking compact car. My wife Mary prepared his taxes when she worked for a tax preparation company. I thought, “Hey, this brother has got it goin’ on — doin’ his thing.” The Walmart guy could easily qualify for disability; sit home on his butt allowing taxpayers to take care of him. Far too many able-bodied millennials feel entitled, believing government should provide them free everything.
Want to meet a fun girl? Elisabeth Sherman. Not.
At least one U.S. publication doesn't see the big deal. Food & Wine—a magazine devoted to celebrating some of the specific things Rome has banned: food and wine—apparently doesn't see the big deal with the Roman law. "Truthfully, it doesn't sound like the law should be difficult to abide," writes F&W's Elisabeth Sherman. "You'll still be able to enjoy Rome with respect, and a glass of wine in your hand, at least until two in the morning. By then, you should be in bed anyway."She's not fun and neither is Italy and their new food laws.
The US often follows the lead of Europe. Will the US follow again? The U.K to register drones.
The government of the UK said on Saturday all drones larger than 250 grams—slightly more than half a pound, for all you ignorant Americans—will need to be registered with the Department of Transport following a report by aviation authorities drones as small as 400 grams could damage helicopter windshields. Drone owners will also be required to pass a “safety awareness test” demonstrating they understand UK rules on safety and privacy. Aviation Minister Lord Martin Callanan said in a statement on the government’s web site that he recognized the usefulness of drones, but “Like all technology, drones too can be misused. By registering drones, introducing safety awareness tests to educate users we can reduce the inadvertent breaching of airspace restrictions to protect the public.”
Socialistic paradise, not really paradise.
MEXICO CITY (Sputnik) — On Friday, the country’s parliament appointed 13 judges of the Supreme Court and their 20 deputies. The day before, the Supreme Court itself denounced the appointments as non-legitimate.
"All of them, one after another, will go in jail, and they will all have their assets and property frozen," Maduro said late on Sunday in his weekly TV address.
In a major defeat for the ethanol industry, senators of both parties joined forces late last week to sink a controversial bill that would’ve allowed gasoline with 15 percent ethanol to be sold year-round.
The measure had become a flash point on Capitol Hill, dividing both Republicans and Democrats — with senators from ethanol-producing states supporting the bill — while also uniting diverse groups in opposition, such as environmentalists, boaters and motorcyclists. The legislation also represented a key opportunity for the ethanol sector, as the expansion of E15 sales would’ve been a financial boon and, to at least some degree, a marketplace defeat for the oil industry
Pigs aren’t just cerebral, though: they have heart. When others are in distress, they can express concern and act with empathy. A description of pig behaviours, derived from scientific experiments and compiled by Lori Marino of the Kimmela Center for Animal Advocacy and Christina M Colvin at Georgia Institute of Technology is so impressive, you might think it was about chimpanzees, elephants or whales.
How do we justify killing pigs? Because they taste damn good!!!! That is reason enough.
Amsterdam, the largest city in the Netherlands and once a mecca for those interested in pot and prostitution, is in the process of criminalizing men approaching women. Though the Netherlands has enjoyed a reputation as a liberal country sans the SJW extremism of Scandinavia, this might be about to change. The new laws in Amsterdam are aimed at male actions that “frighten” women, according to one of the lawmakers responsible. This kind of highly subjective test, in an age where women write 2,000 word diatribes on “manspreading” on public transportation, is ripe for abuse and overuse.

I'm watching a rebroadcast of an E-Sports match (Dreamhack ASTRO Atlanta) and the number of views on Twitch is ...111,407,817.
That effectively matches the viewership of the last Super Bowl.
For a down-list match for what is not even a "major" in this "sport." I'm still not sure how the ladders work but I think this level of play serves as play-in for the majors. And this is just one of the group rounds in the tournament.
111.4 MILLION VIEWS.
Holy crap.

Not least that Sir Winston, while an inspiring leader, often got grand strategy profoundly wrong. From the Dardanelles debacle in WWI to his insistence that forcing entry via the Baltic would be the key to victory in continental Europe in WWII.
His staff, in the latter case, usually either gently talked him down or discreetly ignored his directives.
Allied command officers were not so lucky. Ike apparently had to sit through an entire evening of a well-lubricated Prime Minister Churchill badgering him in front of a wall of maps, grandly waving a cigar, about massively relocating the planned Normandy landings.
Oh sure. No problem. Let me talk to my boss first.

'a small, negligible minority.'
Minority? I would be careful on the majority and minority outlook on things, Padre.
Indeed. Catholicism is a minority of the world's population, so Sorondo has just inadvertently disproven Catholicism. At least, in his own heart.
Other, more humble Catholics (and Christians generally) understand that there is worldly popularity, and what is pleasing to G-d. These... rarely coincide.

My mother had the good sense to quit driving when she got lost on her way home from church one Sunday-- she didn't hit anything, but she knew that when she got lost over a distance of two miles, it was time to stop. And she had friends who were happy to take her to church after that.
Which brings me to ask: how many older drivers don't hang up their keys when they should because they have no one to help with transportation?

That made me LOL. When Tim and are were leaving RI to return to VA, my friend gave us the remainder of the delicious apple pie we'd had for dessert.
After I'd been driving for an hour or so, Tim pulled out the box with the pie in it and said, "Would you like me to stuff your pie hole?" That was a great laugh we shared.
And pie.
So "pie hole" is a good thing to me.

That's why I was always home before dark. My father warned me about devolped men lurking in the woods.
In my area, so many kids are in the street that drivers watch out as soon as the weather turns nice. But by this time of year they've learned to get out of the way and watch for blind spots at corners. The big thing for the boys this summer has been scooters more than bikes, I suppose because they're cheaper for the parents and easier to port when the kids are cutting their own trails through the woods.
I see all of them because the biggest wooded lot is across the street and I have two low-hanging oaks. By some logic known only to kids and teens, they think it's a good spot to discuss secrets. The only dangerous thing that I've seen them try was when three pre-adolescent boys were trying to talk each other into going into a neighbor's yard to look at his front loader and other equipment. I suggested they ask him when he got home from work, which I believe they did.
The thing is, the kids around here have decent parents. Six years ago if I was out cleaning my windows and said hello to a group of passing kids, they'd ignore me and in a few days I'd have eggs or stolen firewood chucked at my windows. But a couple days ago I talked to one of the bicyclists, probably seven or eight, because he discovered the joy of flipping open mailboxes as he rode past. Told him to go back and shut them before the rain came, and he said "okay" and did it. He has since told me that my new mailbox sticks shut. Ha ha.

When getting gas at a new station a couple of days ago I noticed they had a pump for E15. The regular stuff was listed as less than 10% ethanol and at $2.10 a gallon. Wondering the premium for the extra ethanol I decided to keep the estimate easy and assume the regular stuff was 'E5', 5% ethanol.
To get from E5 to E15 you have to take out a ten percent of a gallon, or a tenth of a gallon @ $2.10 would be $0.21. The difference between ($2.10 - $0.21 = $1.91) and the price of E15 would be the cost of a tenth of a gallon of ethanol.
The missing factor is the price of E15 as I was pumping and the other product prices goes blank when you make your selection... so I checked on another pump.
The pump price of E15 was $1.91 a gallon.
Ethanol is free!
Free energy!!1!1
I have no idea how or why ethanol producers would want to produce more when it has no market value....
....unless it has hidden subsidies amounting to the total cost of production, distribution, and profit.
Of course the producers want MOAR!

I notice that nowadays there are various versions of Monopoly with place names from other locations rather than Atlantic City. I don't know whether they are licensed versions or knockoffs.

Hardee's was started back in 1960 by Wilbur Hardee, in Greenville, NC. Note that's NC, not SC. It was single restaurant and was highly successful, and he started looking to open a second one. That got the franchise thing started.
The company was public by 1963. It grew rapidly in the '70s. I remember that era. Imasco bought it in 1981, and acquired and merged other franchise names with it.
CKE, which held Carl's Jr. bought it in 1997.
Their burgers were good in the '70s and the '80s. After than, it went downhill, but their breakfast business, the biscuits is YUGE here. They become hangouts for old timers in the morning. My father and his buddies go there all the time.

I had an elderly neighbor way back in the day, before I had learned to be worried about people driving past the age of safe competence. The guy seemed okay, but seniors are okay until they're not.
I would often find him in his driveway cursing about how his battery was flat. Things these days! They aren't as good as they used to be! Why, back in the day, when we wore onions on our belts, a battery would last forever!
Since then, I've come to wonder whether his adult children (who lived nearby) kept sneaking over and leaving the dome light on so that the car would be dead if Pops decided to go out for a spin.
I did give him a couple of jump starts, which in retrospect I probably ought not to have done. These days I would beg off.

I found out the hard way about long term storage of ethanolated gas. The stuff pulls in water out of the atmosphere and turns into absolute shit.
Had a truck that wouldn't hit a lick, went crazy for a while, then realized it was the gas. Drained it out and it was absolute shit.
They've started selling no-ethanol gas around here pretty good, but charge an arm and a leg for it.
I use it primarily for small engines, now, lawm mowers and such.
The difference is amazing. Trying to run my riding mower, with a 2 cyl Briggs in it, I couldn't get the carb abjusted right, and it wouldn't run quite right.
When I put non-ethanol gas, I noticed it seemed to be running rich. I adusted the carb, and it runs smooth and like its supposed to. Same with the push mower. It runs properly.
And using it for the little 2 -cycles with gas/oil mix. They run right now.
Fuck ethanol with a rusty chainsaw. Sideways. Up the Solo.

Carl Karcher (founder of Carl's Jr.) finally broke it big with Carl's Jr. after other restaurant endeavors didn't do so well.
Karcher was a Bircher and big in conservative circles in California (back when Republicans could actually win elections pretty regularly in California), and was the one who pushed Reagan to run for Governor, which launched him onto the national scene politically.
Little known fact: Since the end of the 19th century, only four Democrats had ever been elected Governor in California.

I haven't had a Hardee's burger in a long time, actually. Maybe I ought to try and see if it's any better than the last one, which I thought was awful.
Their biscuits were always the best. However, McDonald's may have changed that. I had to take my mother to the ER early this morning. She fell again, hit her head, and I wanted it checked out. No problem, but I wanted to be sure.
Anyway, it was a little before 6AM when we got it, there was MacD's close by, and it was open.
I got one of their Steak, Egg, and Cheese biscuits, and damned if that wasn't really good. My mother wanted coffee, and she said that was the best fast food coffee she'd had in a while. Much better than Hardees.
I'm not much of a coffee drinker at all, but those around here who are say that all the restaurant coffee has just flat out gone to hell around here.

I drink coffee black (like my heart) and the nearby family restaurant serves Cadillac Coffee like the nicer restaurants do. They are originally from Yugoslavia, and I guess they never got the memo that coffee should be tepid. Good stuff!

My Dad stopped driving on his own after he got lost going to the store. Mom took some persuading, but went along after we set up transportation with her friends and a local gal who drives seniors - or anyone - around town and helps with shopping and doctor appointments and whatnot. She stays booked. Sounds like a good business opportunity. A lady from church was backing into cars in the lot, but wouldn't stop driving until her son convinced her that her church really needed her car, so she donated it to them. Creative solution! Just ride with your loved ones regularly and evaluate their abilities. Also, please check their houses for tripping hazards, and borrow/disappear extension ladders, chainsaws and other hazards when it is time. Don't delay in taking action to prevent tragedies like Molly's family is experiencing. Prayers to you and yours.

Can't tell you how much I laughed over the story about the rapefugees who had gotten into Norway and applied for asylum there -- and were turned down due to bad behavior -- and how much of an asshole must someone have been for them to be denied same in squishy soft Scandinavia? -- and who then figured they would try their luck in Russia.
They fetched up in St. Petersburg, where they went to a nightclub, and started grabbing and fondling the women there without consent.
First the Russian female patrons beat them up. Then the Russian male patrons beat them up. Then the Russian club staff beat them up, and threw them out.
Whereupon the rapefugees called the Russian police for help. The Russian cops came, and beat them up again, and tossed them in the pokey. Then out of the country.
Game, set and match to the Russians.

The Azores can support a larger population, so I claim first dibs on evacuation of young, unmarried females from the Czech Republic, Finland, and Slovenia for, um, developmental purposes.
I want the British nuke missile subs, too.
I think it's worth looking at a northern Portugal redoubt around Oporto and up the Douro valley (scenery, wine). It would be defensible. Also might link up with the southern Basque coast of France (food, scenery).

In the early days of General Relavity, there was a lot not understood. THe event horizon of the Schwarzschild (spherical, static black hole) was one of them.
Lemaitre, through the derivation of what is now called Lemaitre coordinates, was the first one to show the singularity of the metric at the event horizon was just a coordinate defect, and nothing wrong with the spacetime.
Of course, there is a big problem at the center, a real singularity.
Anyway, Lemaitre was one of the Founding Fathers of the GR and Cosmology.

"River sledging". Really a great idea. White-water river (2 to 3 grade, I think), boogie board (now they have specially made fancy ones), wetsuit, helmet, fins. You jump in, kick at the turns to avoid walls and rocks, and 45 min. exhilirating cold minutes later, you get out.

Three people were on shift tonight qualified to mix paint. Lady who works the department was on lunch. Shift manager was covering garden center since store was short manned. Which left me who was busy processing customers in Auto, then getting my till audited, and then helping a customer take their large purchase out the store.
Unbeknownst to me, another shift manager had 'trained' one of the cashiers to mix paints. So she was trying to handle it. So pushing cart out and the shift manager who was covering garden told me once I was done to go to paint counter.
So I get over there to find the cashier and the customer staring and the mixing machine's door open. Then it hit me. A can of paint inside the machine. Inside it looked like everything was covered in a strawberry milkshake with whipped cream swirls.
The cashier could not get the top plate to move in the mixing machine, the plate that holds the can of paint in place while being mixed. So she placed a one gallon can of paint atop the top plate, closed the door, and turned the machine on.

It was after the 2010 mid-terms. The Dems, being both generally stupid and arrogant at that point (and why not, when a non-entity had been elected president and was receiving Ceaucescu-like treatment by the "press"), were of course caught totally unprepared for the historic wipe-out they suffered in the House.
Without going into the dynamics and details, the House GOP leadership folded almost instantly in wrapping up the CR and other business the Dems just assumed would be routine, until they got whomped. In a staggering move, the Senate GOP even signalled they would use their procedural leverage to help the House push for certain things.
The House GOP just folded, instantly. Hewitt was livid, recognizing how idiotic a move this was. Used to have his show on in the background for a while, so I'd heard him some, he was never like this. He accurately and angrily denounced the incompetence of the House GOP. As I recall, by the next day, he was more/less back to even-toned, even-handed party shill mode.
Revealing, I thought.

Greg Hardy? NFL suspended the hell out of him for being abusive as hell to his wife.
Austin Nichols, who was kicked off UVa's basketball team after being suspended for the first game of the season for a violation of team rules, played in the 2nd game, then kicked off the team for violating the same rule again.
Michael Oher? Didn't he have a little "Mommy-Daughter" action with the Twohey wife and daughter?

what I am disagreeing with first is that there is objective evidence that humans are more valuable than other things. My thought is that all life is precious and valuable.
What I think my life is worth is one thing. Maybe you would want to consider what other things think their life is worth. Pretty sure the chicken put as high a premium on its life as you do no yours.

the Russian male patrons beat them up. Then the Russian club staff beat
them up, and threw them out.
Whereupon the rapefugees called the
Russian police for help. The Russian cops came, and beat them up again,
and tossed them in the pokey. Then out of the country.
Game, set and match to the Russians.

I guess that, by that metric, then, yes, humans are more valuable than pretty much every other life form that we know.
Because humans can do more things, just from having thumbs, hands, feet, and especially the ability to think.
A human can just flat-out do more things than a chicken. Even a baby human can do more than a baby chicken.
Monkeys may be able to use tools and even build things or use simple thinking, but compared to a human? Not even remotely close. Even a simple lean-to or shelter puts just about anything a monkey can make to shame.
So, I guess I would say that, yeah, there is objective evidence than humans are more valuable.

that is not so strong an argument as you might think it is.
not sure why the disagreement over the question of whether they are objectively or subjectively more valuable is so controversial. subjective would be sufficient for everyone's concerns here anyway.

The guy was excited to talk to someone, this being a town full of Progs, who shares his interest. We jabbered for about half an hour.
It gets better. He told me that he actually learned more from his dad (well, except for the heavy stuff) who had been a lifelong gunsmith.
Anyhow, I've been thinking about re-barreling a rifle (that a friend has), and the guy immediately was brimming with specifics to be considered, including cost.
At any rate, I intend to buy this guy a beer ASAP. Just in casual conversation, he was a well of information.

The concept of "value" is something philosophers and big thinkers have been arguing about since time immemorial.
Things like moral value is one thing, but consider the more simple notion of economic value. Is their any objective definition of the economic value of something?
It's pretty much considered subjective in modern theories. Karl Marx thought it was objective. THe Labor Theory of Value.
Ayn Rand, as opposed to Marx as anyone, also believed in objective economic value.
So, it's well, an ongoing debate.....

Al Kooper also played on the first live performance at Newport in 1965:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oM7NeW58X44
It's kind of a ragged performance, because the song wasn't yet fully formed, and also it was a pickup band that had only rehearsed for a few hours.
There were a variety of reasons why some people in the audience booed at Newport. Some didn't approve of Dylan playing electric, some because the PA system was full of distortion and they couldn't hear it clearly, and some because the set was so short and they wanted more.

One can argue about exact value but necessities unquestioningly have value. Potable water, for instance.
Exact value, of course, is impossible to define. It changes with conditions, availability, and the personalities of the buyers and sellers. Exact value is only the price that something actually trades at, and only at that moment. It's along the lines of observation in quantum theory.

Your life sucks and doesn't get better because you spend WAY too much time on the AOS. 70 posts a day is 7 posts an hour for 10 hours straight EACH DAY.
Back when I used to be here all the time my life sucked too. Now it's great so I'm telling you how I did it. You're serving the wrong master.
Being here all the time for people who need to find work to support themselves is what procrastinators do to avoid doing what they know needs doing.
You need to leave this place alone or super-severely curtail your activity here until you get your life back on track. We'll be here when you return.
You're a competent person. A good-faith effort on your part to gain steady and well-compensated employment couldn't help but be successful. I know that much about you. The rest of your life starts with that employment and income.
If you're tired of your life sucking ass you need to back off this place and get that priority handled.
Good luck buddy there's no other way.

Not exactly. The liberal powerbase in the Catholic Church is the Curia in Rome - essentially European academia. The Cardinals are an independent bunch; despite Francis being a lefty - he was also an outsider (South American and Jesuit). I see him as the setup for an African or North American Pope, going all the way would be too much too soon.

Yes, I do. It was the first "fast food" franchise in my home town, Marquette, MI, in the late '60s. Lasted maybe 10 years; last time I remember driving by the place it had become a McDonalds.
