…yeah, but that would mean they'd have to take some people off of their 47-person Action-Weather News team. Who's going to breathlessly report every blip and bloop from their super-mega-ultra- quintuple Doppler XXXXL action-sexy radar? You going to watch channel 3 and their pathetic 42-person action-weather news team,…

Its for narcissists. They get to pull out their scourges and flagellate themselves in public so we can all see how much of a virtuous martyr they are, they get to make it all about themselves, when its not their pain nor is it their fault.

If you didn't do it, don't apologize. If I didn't do it, don't apologize on my behalf. If neither of us did it, but we happen to share a birth characteristic with someone who did, don't apologize for that group. I don't want your apology, and I certainly don't want you to apologize for me when I've done nothing I need…

Deliberate and part of his strategy, I agree.

That's just standard Politicking, though. Never answer the question asked, answer the question you wished you were asked. Never apologize, if you have to, do it in a way that says "I'm sorry" without saying I'm sorry. (incidentally and this is not an attempt at pulling a "The Clintons did it tooooo!" charge, Bill…

"I like you, Bobby. That's why I'm going to vote for Trump last"

Pepper? He put it on his plate (His bodyguards put it in your eyes)

First Gulf War was a fraud too. There were no Kuwaiti babies being taken out of the neonatal ward and dashed to bits, there were no Iraqi tank divisions massed on the Saudi border

But Saddam has aluminum tubes! TUBES! I don't need to tell you how dangerous those are.

He doesn't want to be no uptown boy

Yeah, that's what I was trying to say. Dana Carvey's comedy may not be for you, it may not be for me, but its for somebody.

He's looking pretty good for sixty.

I used to be a news junkie, and now I can't fucking stand it. I read one paper, our so-caled "national paper of record" and the quality of that thing has gone straight into the toilet. At least one knows where they stand (pro-enriching the Thompson family, pro business, fuck everyone else). I can't watch TV news. Most…

That was more of European thing, wasn't it? The first newspapers were published by political parties themselves, so everyone pretty much knew what side of the issue each paper was going to stand on based on what party printed which paper.

City Under Siege:

Wait a second, wait a second, you mean to tell me some people don't like the same thing that other people like?

Scarface and Willie D are from Houston. I'm sure a medley of Geto Boys hits would have won over the crowd.

"…a fundamentally good-hearted if shiftless ne’er-do-well—all rough edges, beer binges, and inappropriate cussing—he instead comes off as a thoughtless alcoholic rapidly approaching his bottom."

My wife bought one of those ceramic frying pans. That thing makes a great grilled cheese, medium-low heat and just watch it closely - golden brown and the right combination of cripsy/gooey every time.

Rationalized one too many rest days last week, and trying to play catch up. Also trying to move my schedule around and get some exercise done first thing in the morning, but the bed is too warm and comfortable.
