As long as I count the votes, what are you going to do about it?

"If it had grown up," she said to herself, "it would have made a dreadfully ugly child; but it makes rather a handsome pig, I think."
-- Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll)

Omit needless words.

Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he should avoid all detail and treat his subjects only in outline, but that every word tell.

-- William Strunk, Jr.

At no time, at no place, in solemn convention assembled, through no chosen agents, had the American people officially proclaimed the United States to be a democracy. The Constitution did not contain the word or any word lending countenance to it, except possibly the mention of "We, the people," in the preamble...When the Constitution was framed no respectable person called himself or herself a democrat.
-- Charles Austin Beard and Mary Ritter Beard

The pitch to his editor must have been interesting.

"Yes, I want you to pay for me to travel around the world so I can find the most beautiful and striking redheads and then photograph them."

"What? No, not sleep with them...photograph them."

Photographer Travels Around the World to Capture the Unique Beauty of Red Hair

Interesting that there are no men in the book. Red hair can be absolutely magnificent on women, but I have no opinion of its attractiveness on men. Perhaps the ladies could opine?

[Hat Tip: MTF]

Hugh Laurie is a fine actor, which I say because he can do both comedy and drama, and that impresses me. But what's with the accent? Most of his roles are American English speaking, and it's always a bit odd to hear him speak with a distinct English accent, like here...Acting With A Lion.
******

Why build tall buildings? I am not an architect, but there are obvious advantages to building up; more efficient use of land and power and water and sewer systems, but at some point it must become more expensive than it is worth. And that is fine....building something tall just to do it is completely in character with the human spirit.

July 7, 1936
On this date in 1936, the average maximum temperature across the US was 93 degrees, and nearly one fourth of the US was above 100 degrees.

I'm not suggesting any connection between these two women, other than their voices are distinctive and they both had big problems in their youth. Unfortunately, Winehouse didn't survive hers.

Go ahead...define it. I have seen it on the printed page but can't explain it worth a damn.

Yes, it's those damned decade-specific music feeds, and I am stuck in the 1970s. I am second to most in my knowledge of modern music, in particular the stuff of the last 25 years. But I know what I like, and I also am constantly amazed by how a few bars of a song can evoke memories. It's not quite Proust's Madeleine, but it comes close.

21 TheHill: Judd Gregg: The coming Biden coup

There is no rocket science involved in believing that Joe Biden is the most likely to removed via the 25th amendment.
But the 25th amendment route is not an easy path. The more likely scenario is that he will be removed at the DNC convention. The scary path is any attempt to remove Joe Biden between the election and Jan 20th. The House is uniquely charged with resolving election disputes according to the Constitution, but it hasn't done this in modern times and all previous disputes were ugly.

70 So, the "Night of Rage for Summer Taylor" kicks off in downtown Portland in three hours.

Prediction - although the rioters are going to gather near the Federal courthouse, they won't stay there - they were spooked by the Federal felony arrests on Sunday.

I think that they will block a local freeway in honor of Summer Taylor (one stupid gesture deserves another), on the assumption that then they will get to deal with the ineffectual Portland police. It would be pretty funny if the Feds decided that they had jurisdiction over interstate highways, and arrested a bunch more people on Federal felonies for blocking the freeway.

Then I graduated to Pink Floyd. Still one of their biggest fans. Went to a Roger Waters concert. A Year or so ago. The music was spectacular, but the Trump bashing caused me to walk out 3/4 of the way in.
Sad. I missed Comfortably Numb, which I heard was epic.

Somehow he got tapped to be a "helper" to some torpedo guy, they worked all through the night getting a torpedo ready for some big demonstration the next day with some high muckety mucks observing them firing it at some stationary derelict vessel anchored as a target.

Well the big moment came .. they fired the torpedo ... and nothing. I don't think it even hit, it just sank probably. Dad said he was standing there watching, with his hands in his pockets ... and noticed there were these extra parts left over, all kinds of gee gaws and fiddly bits and springs. He got real scared and threw all that stuff overboard and never said anything to anyone. LOL! Way to go dad.

This is why I think Susan Rice is going to be Biden's VP, she's the perfect proxy for the Deep State. Just think, Biden gets in, then drops out of the picture shortly after the inauguration. Susan Rice, a Deep State apparatchik who has *never* run for election for any office on her own, takes over the Office of the Presidency on behalf of the Deep State. She cements their control over the Bureacracy and the Judiciary, and this country never has another honestly contested election, ever.

Omit needless words.
Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he should avoid all detail and treat his subjects only in outline, but that every word tell.

I was incredibly inthralled with synthesizers in the 70s.
Had the dream weaver album, which had virtually no guitar action, but on one song.


So was I . Keith Emerson was a demigod, with Rick Wakeman following close behind in Moogness.

Have you heard any of Gino Vanelli's early releases? Listen to the synths on this song Storm at Sunup from 1975, especially the bass.

The more likely scenario is that he will be removed at the DNC
convention. The scary path is any attempt to remove Joe Biden between
the election and Jan 20th. The House is uniquely charged with resolving
election disputes according to the Constitution, but it hasn't done this
in modern times and all previous disputes were ugly.

177 Unless the fucking bridge is out up ahead, there is no legitimate reason to block a road or highway. I don't give a fuck what your cause or issue is. In fact, I might start to hate it, even if it is legitimate. I believe anyone blocking the intersections, roads, highways are committing serious crimes and should be arrested immediately.

It is (among other things) unlawful detention. Not kidnapping, though may progress to "carjacking" or physical assault, rape and outright killing. It puts motorists at serious inconvenience at best, or life threatening hazard. It would not surprise me if the populace doesn't start getting "creative" if this keeps up.

Law enforcement must be allowed to do their job. Start cracking skulls on these trust fund totalitarians. Legitimate protest is great, I'm all for it. Stay the fuck out of the road.

Dad was a radar operator on a USN diesel boat right after the war.
Somehow he got tapped to be a "helper" to some torpedo guy, they worked
all through the night getting a torpedo ready for some big demonstration
the next day with some high muckety mucks observing them firing it at
some stationary derelict vessel anchored as a target.



Well the big moment came .. they fired the torpedo ... and nothing. I
don't think it even hit, it just sank probably. Dad said he was
standing there watching, with his hands in his pockets ... and noticed
there were these extra parts left over, all kinds of gee gaws and fiddly
bits and springs. He got real scared and threw all that stuff overboard
and never said anything to anyone. LOL! Way to go dad.

Posted by: Common Tater at July 07, 2020 10:20 PM (8Z2uw)

Sounds like my dad telling about range time in the army. You checked out your weapon and the bullets you were to use. And then *bang*bang*bang* and everything was to be checked in. And on the ride back in the deuce and a half guys would discover bullets that were neither shot nor turned in.

Step two would be filing suit to recover that "stolen" land from the Evil White Interlopers who Illegally Occupy it. Having a heavily made up Indian in full regalia giving a news conference every week decrying the MSM's hateful occupation of these sacred lands would be great.

Of course, none of the MSM would report a single story about the issue, but it would still be fun. Trump would tweet the fuck out of it.

When one thinks of the high risk populations, Amy Winehouse would be in the bullseye while Greg's son well outside the of it. Not a lot we can do to ensure our kids dont fall prey to that evil and damned if it's not a dark cloud back there in my mind for my kid. Hoping those guardian angels that somehow guided me around it and other threats are there for her.

Her employer is demanding she go to the doctor and get a letter outlining why she can't wear a mask AND saying even with a note, she probably would be prohibited from working any "customer facing jobs" which is pretty much all the jobs at the food place where she works.

I have told her that they can't do that and she has pointed out they can just fire her instead.


This whole WuFlu overreaction is seriously screwing up lives.

258 Give us a quick recipe now, please.

.....

Well, I don't really have the exact proportions to give you at this second in terms of teaspoons of this or 1/4 cups of that.

And I would also note that I did not make a batch of those candy-red things. They are closer to a Luxardi-style.

But essentially I made a rich Demerara syrup at 1.5:1 as a base, and simmered it for about an hour with a cinnamon stick, many cloves, whole nutmeg and allspice berries.

Once I had strained that, I added Luxardo Maraschino liqueur and brought that to a quick boil just to boil out sobs the raw alcohol taste.

While it was still warm, but not hot, I added a couple of swaths of peel from a blood orange and added the pitted Rainer cherries and allowed them to sit until everything was at room temperature.

Then I closed them up in a jar and let them mature.

I'm sure you could can them, but I think you would run the risk of breaking down the cherries too much.

264 Chief Justice John Roberts Has Seizure
10 Questions and Answers on Roberts' Seizure
https://t.co/QMMHCIvVsx?amp=1

FROM THE WEBMD ARCHIVES
July 31, 2007 -- U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has left a Maine hospital after having a seizure yesterday afternoon at his Maine vacation home.

According to media reports, doctors said Roberts, 52, had a "benign idiopathic seizure," meaning that they couldn't find a reason for the seizure, which happened after Roberts had gotten off a boat at a dock near his summer home on Maine's Hupper Island.

Roberts fell on the dock and sustained scrapes. He was taken by boat to the mainland and was reportedly conscious and alert when he was transferred to an ambulance and taken to the Penobscot Bay Medical Center in Rockport, Maine.

At the medical center, Roberts got a "thorough neurological evaluation, which revealed no cause for concern," Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg told reporters.

Roberts reportedly had had a seizure in 1993. In 2001, he told the Senate Judiciary Committee that his health was "excellent," according to the Associated Press.

WebMD spoke with Jacqueline French, MD, about Roberts' seizures. French is a professor of neurology at the University of Pennsylvania. She's not one of Roberts' doctors and hasn't seen his medical records.

What is a "benign idiopathic seizure"?
There is no such thing as a category of seizure called "benign." A seizure is a seizure. It's not a benign thing to have a seizure. I think what they're trying to get across with that word is that there is not an underlying cause that's alarming. He hasn't been discovered to have an infection or a brain tumor or anything along those lines. But other than that, there is no "benign."


The other thing is that they are being very careful to call it a seizure but in fact -- and obviously it was a seizure -- but the fact that he has had two seizures without cause -- one in 1993 and the most recent one -- actually puts him in the category of epilepsy because the only definition of the word "epilepsy" is more than one unprovoked seizure. So once you've had two unprovoked seizures, you in fact have epilepsy. And the reason that we use that term is because the likelihood of having a third once you've had two is more than 50%...

approval of WashPo's Editorial Board, maybe he's suffering from Biden

Those kids are now adults. What would exposure for that do now? Is anyone threatening to expel them (to where) or impeach Roberts (really) or what? You just saw how clumsy impeachment is, and impeaching a man over his children is going to play real well outside of DC Fantasy World said no one ever.

Of course!

If I have any advice to offer from my failures (that was my fourth batch), it would be to err on the side of maintaining the integrity of the cherries themselves. Maybe soak them when the previously boiled liquid reaches 80-85 degrees depending on whether you have the cherries refrigerated or at room temp. My first batch wound up making a hellacious ice cream topping for chocolate ice cream, but were far too flaccid for a cocktail cherry.

I roughly used equal parts liqueur to syrup, but you want the syrup to thicken quite a bit when you infuse it.

lasers at Federal agents, which is obviously a trivial thing to do.

Posted by: Adriane the Architecture Critic ... at July 07, 2020 10:55 PM (LPnfS)

Traditional definition of assault is apprehension of imminent bodily harm or words to that effect, not necessarily to include actual contact. Contact was battery. Thus, you got the combined crimes of assault AND battery. Modern definitions have changed to call many such batteries "assaults." So in addition to the federal law against lasers on aircraft, shining a laser which could be mistaken for a laser sight, in which a riotous mob is calling for murder of police could include apprehension of imminent bodily harm. If the laser is powerful enough, obvious eye damage can occur.

390 No pussified local pols here, losers.

The Federal tactics are very different from Portland police tactics. You have a line of Portland cops standing facing the protestors, with the crowd throwing stuff at them, and it is up to a police commander to order a slow advance, one the commander has determined that enough stuff has been thrown at them.

Sunday night, one glass bottle was thrown at a line of Federal agents, and the agents immediately charged the crowd in response. Portland Antifa is terrified of these tactics - along with the Federal felony charges, it has suddenly gotten a lot riskier to be in a crowd where people are throwing stuff at the cops.

391 376 Didn't Amy Winehouse drink two entire bottles of vodka on her last night on Earth? And she was, what, 100 pounds soaking wet?

Even in my most alcoholic days (which ended on 5/1/2016, thank the Good Lord), I was only able to muscle down a single bottle of whiskey before passing out.

Which, come to think of it, is probably why I am still alive. Hmmm. Lesson absorbed.
Posted by: Sharkman at July 07, 2020 11:15 PM (1YlHz)

--As I commented above, I read Amy Winehouse died from alcohol *withdrawal*.

People think that only stuff like heroin has that effect, but I know from close family experience that alcohol withdrawal is also a bear.

For awhile he was attached to the Robocop 2014 reboot.

He must have then seen the script and he dropped out.

Sadly Michael Keaton either misjudged the script or needed a payday (looks like it came during a lull point in his career).

Then again, Gary Oldman is in it to so...eh? Its money I guess. Or maybe he was doing someone a favor (he did The Fifth Element for director Luc Bessen and reportedly HATES the film).

School districts in Oregon have published a letter with resources entitled, Opportunities for White People in the Fight for Racial Justice. Methods they mention in their easy to follow chart include opposing President Trump, and to vote for and raise money for Democrats and progressive candidates of color. The endorsement of one political party and the opposition to the reelection of any candidate appear to violate state law regarding official communications from a governmental agency and public employees.

413 The Federal tactics are very different from Portland police tactics.

A bad scare today. I took Beast, a rescue boy, in for a chiropractic adjustment on his neck. The doctor said she thought the left shoulder was thicker than the right and suggested an X-ray.

Naturally, the first thought is cancer, which would mean curtains for poor Beast. Her Majesty arranged for me to take him right down to our regular vet for an exam.

I dropped Beast off and waited a couple of hours. The verdict came in: no cancer. He's home now and on Gabapentin for his aches. We'll take him back to the chiropractor this weekend for laser treatment.

It may be absurd but the fear is real, thanks to the MSM.


And initially the only thing the US government really knew was that China was lying. The reports out of Italy were not that it was minor -- and the experience in NY was no picnic (yes, made worse by Cuomo).

NOW I think the right approach is "isolate if you're at risk, caution if you have to interact with the public, otherwise just wash your hands a little more often". We've figured out treatments -- which we didn't have at the beginning of the year -- and while "cases" are increasing as testing uncovers them, death rate is decreasing.

The only real big question is how well our immune systems hold onto immunity and how the virus changes its "appearance". From what I've read, it doesn't have the genetic flexibility of influenza viruses, so it's really down to our immune systems.

And, yeah, every public health official who condoned George Floyd protests but condemned reopen protests should be fired and barred from ever holding a position of public trust.

He was out of the state for months, with expensive security and travel being paid mostly by taxpayers.

He was, at the height of his popularity, his percentage of the vote was zero point zero.

And he will be running for a third term, after personally destroying the economy of this state. Primarily because he hates Donald Trump.

Look for a Boler or Trillium trailer. They are classics. Made of two fiberglass clamshell halves, they are strong, light, and water-tight. They are quite sought after, and have clubs and everything.

600 I can tell you a bit about travel trailers. Look at the interior and move around in it a bit. Well designed ones have rounded edges on counters and tables. I prefer sliding doors on storage versus hinged ones. Have bearings and trailer brakes checked.

Look for any sign of leaks in the roof and windows or softness on the floor. And check the propane lines as old ones can crack and leak. All I can think of at the moment.

Would I have my sons stand with me? (A plan is in place)

Yet to even have to make these plans saddens me and hurts my soul to the center of my being.

619 I've heard rumors over the past day or two that a Supreme Court Justice had been visiting Epstein's Island. I wonder if it's related.

It wouldn't surprise me if Roberts resigns due to "seizures" sometime in the next few weeks.

Posted by: Surfperch



Trump wins in November and Rs keep the Senate and retake the House.

Roberts retires due to seizures and child rape, RGB retires because she's been fucking dead for two years, and Breyer retires because he is old and nobody has really noticed he was on the Court all this time.

Trump appoints Thomas to be Chief Justice (unknown if this is possible - work with me here).

Trump appoints Amy Coney Barrett to replace RBG's mummified corpse, and appoints Joan Larsen (51, clerked for Scalia) to replace Breyer.

Much bad faith Democrat hijinx, shenanigans and Tomfoolery later, all three are confirmed by a Senate much concerned with their own, shall we say, "Epstein Exposure".

New Chief Justice Thomas is seen to smile, whilst cryptically whispering: "Revenge is a dish best served up cold . . ."

This.

If she's already given recorded testimony, then leaving her alive is probably the better option for anyone that she's mentioned in her sworn statements. If she's dead, then her testimony can be submitted to the court, and there's no way to challenge what she stated (aside from finding factual flaw in it, of course). If she's still alive, then she can be cross-examined and possibly tripped up or made to look foolish.

642 Roberts off the court would be a tremendous boon to the country, and the world.

RBG off the court would be a tremendous boon to the country, and the world.

Ditto, Bryers. And of course, ditto, Sotomayor or Kagan.

The much, much, much better thing, of course, would be it not even mattering that much - as it shouldn't under what was our constitutional system.

But that thought doesn't even occur to 98% of those engaged enough to even care about it.

And there it is. We have two legislative branches, one for-life, unaccountable. The accountable one almost non-existent - and robotically re-elected by a degraded electorate.

So, in the post-constitutional America, it is absolutely critical to dominate the courts, and equally that they not act like courts, but legislatures.

Craigslist Houston has at this moment 564 listings of RVs in that section of their ads.

Fair warning, at least 10% of those ads are frauds, and you'll soon be able to detect those at a glance, be it an impossibly low price, or a very visible "photo of a photo" type resolution in the ad.

Pro-Tip. Check Craigslist ads in the DRY CLIMATE areas, such as AZ, NV, CA, NM.

Watch for the fraud ads, and train yourself to detect them.

But many deals are out there, and you can find a nice unit for a very reasonable price.

Her affirmative action ruling, wherein she mused that, surely, another quarter century or so of that disastrous, racist, idiotic, unconstitutional social engineering hubris would suffice to, I dunno, fix society or something. So it was OK, for a while. Or something.

Easily one of Sultan Knish's best.

A report by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute cast an even wider net, tying Apple, BMW Calvin Klein, Abercrombie & Fitch, GM, LL Bean, North Face, Gap, Volkswagen, and Nike, among others, to supply chains based around workers laboring "under conditions that strongly suggest forced labour."

A factory making shoes for Nike was "equipped with watchtowers, barbed-wire fences and police guard boxes." Nike Shox were discovered being made in another factory by slave laborers shipped far from home to produce shoes for the sportswear giant. Too far for them to run away.

"We can walk around, but we can't go back," one worker said.

The same company that holds up Colin Kaepernick, a millionaire anti-American activist, as an icon of social justice, also profits from an alleged slave labor facility that moved to be closer to "the region's cotton fields". The millionaire victims of imaginary racism that Nike wants us to care about are on their billboards while modern day slaves still toil in the cotton fields because their lives don't matter.

Someone upthread mentioned two younger women currently on Appeals Courts that looked pretty good. There are others.

Just need to have 51 votes in the Senate to get them through, and that is no guarantee. But I am hoping for Trump coattails in the swing state elections to carry some of them over the line.

685 A Moron noted earlier today that the actors in "Death of Stalin" looked nothing like the historical figures they were playing.

There's a 1960s Soviet WWII series, "Liberation" (Osvobozhdeniye), in which the main actors are remarkable likenesses for the historical figures they're playing. The guy playing Stalin is very similar, and he speaks just like him (probably important - at that time, there were plenty of people who still remembered how Stalin talked). Zhukov, same.

Apropos of nothing, just thought of it.

The lesson to be learned is that only a Star Trek Transporter can elevate a bottom-shelf McGuillicutty to then reside upon any of the upper liquor store shelves.

Unless that is, Ace build the shelves.

Real key? He had already lost his starter position BEFORE any of the BLM kneeling crap.

He was basically cut. Not a good pocket QB, and not someone who was consistent throwing on the run.

Then, HE cut his own contract short. Then HE turned down a couple of contracts, because it was not super QB starter money.

He slit his own damn throat, and blamed it on Racism.

Which is really symptomatic of many Blacks in America.

about those 2 contracts, neither was "official", so Kaep can continue the misinformation that he was never offered. He WAS offered, from the Seahawks and then declined. Years before the Hawks almost drafted Kaep, but SF got him first. Seahawks, Pete and John, like to go after those kind of players in general. The other offer was from the Baltimore Ravens. His GF, a NYC radio dj who is a diehard Muslim leftist, down-with-the-cause anti-American, dissed him publicly and so forcing Kaep to turn it down.

LOL. There is a bitter dispute between two groups at the protest - apparently the sit-in was organized by some black people from Eugene - who (gasp!) negotiated with the cops and the Feds to allow the sit in.

The white ACAB radicals hated that, and have wandered off to a nearby park, free of police collaboration.

We had this problem at UCSD when I was studying there. A few undergrads staged a bit of a revolt against the language barrier and got called racist for it.

I began to lose interest, not just in the NFL, but in all sports, and I was a big fan. The past few months have shown me just how pointless it is to follow pro sports. Lots of wasted money and time, on people who could give a rat's ass whether you live or die, on games that mean shit to the overall scheme of things. Now they are actively and unashamedly insulting, mocking, and downright hating their audience. My friends are like "you'll watch when they play", but I won't. i'm used to them not being in my life, I quit my fantasy leagues, I'm DONE.

779 Pedophile former school teacher Mary Kay Letourneau, who had an affair with her 12-year old student while married (to an adult man) with four kids, has died of colon cancer at the age of 58. She and her former student/husband had divorced (they have two daughters together), but he reportedly was with her in the hospice and helping to take care of her at the end.

Sad end to a strange and sordid life.

780 The 1936 North American heat wave was one of the most severe heat waves
in the modern history of North America.It took place in the middle of
the Great Depression and Dust Bowl of the 1930s and caused catastrophic
human suffering and an enormous economic toll. The death toll exceeded
5,000, and huge numbers of crops were destroyed by the heat and lack of
moisture.
Todays news of course says GW is causing heat waves across the US. No one looks a recorded history of temp. records, so inconvenient to do so.

783 Mornin', all,

The second Mrs. Wolfus was a redhead. I've noticed that, aside from any soul stealing, RHs often have rather narrow, foxlike faces. Seems most of the girls in the photo story about world redheads match up with that. Not unattractive in the slightest, now, but noticeably narrower faces than the general population.

In Stephen King's recent novella "If It Bleeds," he has a cop character opine that 95% of human faces are either pig faces or fox faces. Now that I look around, I see what he means. I'm surrounded by pigs; I want to live where there are more fox faces.

Only 1,300 out of the currently occupied 7,700 beds contain an actual person hospitalized for the Wu-Flu.

And 2,800 beds in the State remain unoccupied.

PLUS, when S.C.discusses current number of cases, they include PROJECTED cases, due to the presumption that for every positive test, there are as many as nine other untested but positive people walking around.

There may have been, as there were several t.v. movies and documentaries done about them. I do recall that when they were promoting a book in Europe (can't remember if it was hers or his) that the French media were saying that it was a "true love" story, and that Americans were silly and narrow-minded for criticizing her.

I also recall that he, and/or his mother, sued the school district for allowing the affair to happen. (He testified that he and Mary Kay had several sexual encounters in the school). He lost.

I saw him on an interview once, talking about how difficult it had been for him trying to be a father and take care of a baby when he was a middle school student. He said the affair had stolen his childhood from him. He seems to have a lot of conflicting feelings about the whole affair, which is probably understandable, given the circumstances.

One of the items on Racial Superiority was Cognitive Dissonance.

Cognitive Dissonance occurs when a person holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values.

Many people would inevitably resolve dissonance by blindly believing whatever they wanted to believe.

That is 100% of all leftist, progressive ideology and patterns. All one need to do is look into families in black communities and see that about 80% are not families. Just a single mother waiting for a government official to help her out.

Right from BLM website:

We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and villages that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.

This very idea has been tried for 3 generations. And fabulously FAILED. Best real life example of Cognitive Dissonance.

No, not really. And death hasn't moved RBG towards retirement either.

Where else, except in the highest levels of government, can you keep a job long after you are physically or mentally capable of performing it?

867 Damn straight. Everyone, including some fuckheads here, look on free cooch as an unalloyed good except this situation was somewhat different because the woman was attractive. Usually the mentally ill teachers are ugly as sin when acting out their fantasies and counting on the dogshit teacher's unions and gutless school boards not to do a damn thing punitive. But she fucked up his life by giving him adult responsibilities way younger than he should've been forced to undertake them and has a permanent bond to the mentally ill nympho tramp.

Yep, and this particular kid was vulnerable, coming from the background he did. There was no father in the home, and his mother worked as a cleaning lady, and the kid didn't get much attention at home. So when this pretty blond teacher started telling him how special he was, it probably made him feel great. It's not surprising that the kid would be attracted to her, it was just sad that she did not have the sense to keep the relationship within the appropriate bounds.

One of my grandmas was not nice to me growing up. Still, I'd never dream of sticking a pitchfork in her. But therein lies the difference in how I was raised (normal America with values) vs. how this animal must've been raised (current FUBAR America without values).

Hi, Salty-That is very kind of you. Jessie was not there last Sunday because her hip was hurting her. She was worried that she might beed a hip replacement but the orthopedist said it was just bad arthritis. She did play for our online service though and we did have people there for the Sunday service. No BLM, however. It would be hard to find our church and since almost everyone in the town knows Ray, the Korean vet who was born there, it wouldn't be a group from town attacking the church.

906 "Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he should avoid all detail and treat his subjects only in outline, but that every word tell."

Shouldn't 'that' be excised from "[...] for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines [...]"?
