They like playing at Chastain Park in ATL. When they do, there’s a certain hotel they tend to stay at. A number of Duranies (through process of elimination and epic sleuthing...mostly process of elimination) have figured out which hotel that is. The entire group stays there, and have been known to party in the bar…

SAME.

Also, he's hella-careful about people taking pictures of him. The man *knows*. It's kind of uncanny.

Having met them several times and worked out with Simon once (yup, that's bragging right there, no I'm not apologizing) I can heartily agree, it's all about Duran Duran. Still the best.

For a state that is supposedly terrified of “big government” taking their stuff (land, guns, water rights, etc.)...why aren’t they up in arms over seizing medical records without cause? OH, right...women. *sigh*

wondered that myself

“I don’t know your mother or how she’s feeling, but the best way to do that is to ask her how can I make it better? What is it that I can do so that you will know how important you are to me because it upsets me when you’re upset.”

Some of it stems from the fact that both hearings were show trials, a purely partisan effort to show the folks back home how erectly principled their conservative principles are.

Well said! He has literally done everything possible to scuttle people’s home lives short of going through the parking lot and deflating tires.

Perhaps if Paul Ryan hadn’t spent much of his political career fighting for laws that promote realistic work-life balance for parents of all socioeconomic levels, asking for family time would make him look more like a hero and less like a hypocrite.

This is the best thing I’ve read today. Well, after that Destiny story and the Star Wars trailer breakdown.

Also, that assumes you have something to store them in that bugs and heat won’t ruin in a day. Pro tip: Styrafoam coolers don’t work that well for it.

“In a gentle tongue-bath of an interview this morning with Trump’s son Eric”

Wow. Just...wow. Life looks more like a Monty Python sketch every day. Where’s the Colonel to rush out and stop it all from getting too silly?

It is certainly...interesting. That’s how all that stuff about General Petraeus came about with his affair, and how so many people had access to the inner offices of people who you'd think they'd NEVER have access to.

Pretty much sums it up.

When I read the headline, I thought Karl was meaning to compliment him. Heh. Doubly funny that he was trying to be insulting.

I admit, I do not understand this grammatical train wreck. What are they trying to say, in terms an old would understand?

And for my not worth much but thought I’d use this account to talk opinion:

Strangely, if you are sufficiently high up in certain government organizations (say, a General), you get “Commander’s discretion”. Meaning, sanctioned nepotism and cronyism under the guise of “outside expertise”. So yes, if you can convince the person in charge (usually an egomaniac like those seen in the link) then…
