Yeah, but that’s part of what undermines state sovereignty. It basically consigns those states to relying on their legislative representation, if presidential candidates know that they can focus on the larger population states. I don’t know how the Electoral numbers line up but I’m guessing it is weighted to give…

Well, like I said in at the start, I don’t know that I have strong arguments against dropping the EC. I’m just not sure I’ve heard strong arguments in favor of it.

I am generally against abolishing the Electoral College, but I don’t know that I have strong arguments for that position. the best I could do would be to repost pieces from WaPo and others, which basically say:

The French copy no one, and no one copies the French.

But. . .parachute pants.

I watched LWT and guess what? “Alvin” said two decades not “nearly three.”

I would def agree about the start and end points for “the 90s”. The 80s were so awesome, they took a while to peter out :)

Yeah. She’s my age. That’s one reason “nearly three decades” stuck in my craw :)

I can’t wait to watch this tonight (I watch most HBO a day late at best). That said:

I was 7 when this movie came and and ALL OVER IT.

NP but dat interior. That leather looks cracked.

This article makes me feel old. My dad was with the First AD in Ansbach ~’86-’88 and the Abrams was new-ish, and yeah, they definitely rocked the Gulf War a few years later, after he’d gotten out.

I don’t see a problem. Maybe that the Native Americans weren’t putting up Private Property signs? Which the song specifically decries.

Local anti-folk musician Lach put a sped-up punkish version on one of his albums. Less about Native Americans than anti-property ownership.

Mister Gradenko and I have developed a fetish for a deuce-and-half. Maybe when we finish the compound and prepare for the coming apocalypse.

That center console looks suspiciously non-driver-centric.

Now all I can think of is how many speeding tickets the X-Men should have for supersonic flight in the Blackbird.

The USCG Eagle is still in service. Taken as a war prize by the US from Germany, she was put to see in 1936 IIRC.
