You may want to focus your argument. The topic at hand is one group becoming the gentile of the land and realizing that holding a piece of land turns you into just another unremarkable asshole. History is chock a block full of scenarios where one group fucks over another. Sometimes little by little and sometimes in…

Hopefully Jared and Ivanka will resolve this and there will soon be peace and freedom for all in the Middle East and at home. I’m looking forward to the usual big helping of Kristmas Kugel along with a thick slice of ham for the annual DNAPL Syncretic Holiday Potluck.

“What is truth, but a lie agreed upon.” - Either Al Swearengen from Deadwood or Friedrich Nietzsche, I don’t know.

1) teachers are on strike for shitty pay in NC

All this will get solved in a couple years, guys. Apple is reportedly building a second headquarters in Raleigh-Durham close to Duke, where many of the senior executives went to school. Maybe Apple will name the new headquarters after fellow Duke alum Stephen Miller - for the yuge tax break Apple got from Trump and…

Whatever happened to the good ‘ol “sorry, I fucked up.” I mean, if you’re a nuclear engineer and forgot to add PLC (programmable logic controller for you Communications Workers of America Union members) language (computer code) to keep cooling water pumping in the event of a reactor shutdown - than of course that’s…

I’ll go check to see if Philip Roth’s “Goodbye, Columbus” is on sale in the Billy Graham Center bookstore at Wheaton College today. Or maybe Goodbye, Columbus 2 will be coming out shortly. The plot of which is a New York Times public editor falls in love and marries the heir to an evangelical media dynasty. Cuteness…

Here’s a nice powerpoint presentation from Office of Economic Adjustment (OEA) on the subject at hand.

The end game is gutting government agency in general and US EPA specifically. It would be much easier to operate without all those pesky regulations and regulators. This has been a goal of many who make money polluting the land, water and air and trading products produced by polluting industries ever since Nixon…

Bohemians or folks from Bohemia or folks from what is now the Czech Republic. There wouldn’t be beautiful art glass windows on the front of all those Chicago bungalows and two flats if it wasn’t for Bohunks. Bohemians traditionally and generally immigrated and then lived along 22end street from Pilsen to Berwyn. 22end…

You gotta admit that Haspel is a Trump card.

Looks like republicans diverted the high road democrats are taking towards a cliff. It’s the old, “we’ll sit on this information for when we may need it.”

What’s scary as shit about this is Pell represents the mindset of conservative Catholics on climate change (and maybe being pro kid diddling, too). He’s from Australia and nobody does bullshit climate change denying (funding) better than wealthy Australians with vested interest in coal mining, oil and gas production…

It’s not like Benjamin Disraeli didn’t have a plan for the Irish question. That plan was not Swift’s, which was to eat Irish babies. I’m of Kelly’s generation and of similar background (more of a mix on my part). He’s just showing his stereotypical Irishness that lies below the charming bag piping, poetry and dance of…

Assimilation?! The dude is several generations away from living in a sod hut and eating potatoes brought to the Emerald Isle from Latin America. Kelly is a “pig in the parlor” Boston Irishman with little to no appreciable skills except government work and singing songs about the old country. Like pretty much every…

The best take in the history of takes was made in a comment/reply below:

The dude just don’t know how to deal with these kinds of situations. You smile, record the music on your phone, take your coffee and muffin, leave, and bring it to the attention of the school and whoever runs or owns the coffee shop. School threatens to pull the contract from the vender or just pulls the contract…

I didn’t really spend too much time thinking about this. As a matter of fact, the perfect amount of thought went into it. The federal reserve interest rate is at 1.75%. Banks want to lend money at around 3 to 4 or possibly higher for usery purposes. Oil and gas traditionally secured about half its capital from banks…

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude is at about $69/barrel and Brent Crude is around $74/barrel. The oil and gas industry might not need banks for capital expenditures going forward. Satire, yes, but...

As long as the judge doesn’t toss out the case and whoever replaces Schneiderman also carries the torch - it may be fine. On the other hand, oil and gas is making money hand over fist with the barrel at $70 - so they can afford even more really really good corporate lawyers. They might associate Schneiderman’s temper…
