He did mention he’s in the waste management business. He’s standing in front of several corrugated plastic drain pipe sections (those big black pipe looking things). The plastic pipestem thing sticking out from the surface of compacted crushed rock appears to be a cleanout or vent.

Petroleum geology or how the taxpayer funded United States Geological Survey (USGS) made the House of Saud rich as shit. The big ol’ report link here.

I think the point was that Brett Kavanaugh wouldn’t have made it as an Irish laborer on the I&M Canal or a stevedore at Bridgeport. Maybe Kavanaugh would have been OK as a second generation 11th ward precinct captain (aka “ward chinaman”). Even better, he would have been excellent as a third generation machine appointe…

The thing about Chicago Irish is some are humble enough to admit their ancestors entered into the US through Canada and not Ellis Island, i.e. illegally. Canals and ditches weren’t going to dig themselves. Not a lot of background checking was done during the booming years of post fire Chicago. A study was done either…

Nicely done. It’s not like I haven’t had a lifetime of commodity traders trying to explain what the fuck it is they do all day. To them it’s like trying to teach algebra to a dog. Like how isn’t that just skimming? For the 8 billionth time. 

Murdoch still holds National Geographic, no? Hope can give us hope that there’s hope for our endangered planet going forward. Man, I’m a sucker for attractive PR types so I’m super excited and hopeful.

There you go again Hamilton, promoting regressive taxation for your Wall Street buddies. It’s like a guy can’t make it anymore living on cigarettes, booze, gambling and driving a late model car anymore. Fucking chattering class elites.

It’s on the record that as a coastal elite, Kavanaugh partied hard at the bars and school parties. I simply recommended an alternative pathway for a more measured coming of age. Seminary school could have been another pathway taken, too. That may have lead to other problems, though. I apologize if you took the whole…

This whole thing would have been for naught had Brett Kavanaugh gone to public high school and engineering college, where heavy drinking just resulted in crying in your beers after midterms. Friggin coastal elites with their gogo coed party scene.

I hear yeah Berri. We’re all frumpy NYC intellectuals now.

You’re not one of those Russian trolls we hear about who feign hurt feelings and fan the flames of hysteria on social media and blogs to stir liberals up are you? Please check yes or no in the box below. I don’t want to be a troll mule on Splinter. It already has Russian ties, reportedly.

Blame the Federalists Society. They’re the ones who pushed this prick.

It’s amazing. Truly fucking amazing the hoops we have to jump through to figure out republican logic. 

Hey dickwad, I don’t go your place of work and heckle you while you’re putzing around on Splinter.

Durbin is no Obama, either. Technically Obama was only 3/5th of a US senator from Illinois. OK, it was really 2/3rds of a six year term from 2004 to 2008 before being elected president.

As far as US senators from Illinois go, Durbin is no Everett Dirksen, but he’s pretty darn good. Just ask the Illinois Corn Growers Association and help he gave them on the 2005 energy freedom or whatever the hell Bush called it act.

This might solely be about geography, i.e. where a park sits. As Brian said, Alaska parks overly weigh (skew, if you prefer) the system by acreage. And yes, the northern latitudes are heating up faster. So there’s that.

It sounds like you’ll be happy with the outcome either way. Trump has like a 75% approval rating in the holy land right now, according to god.

Maybe Maggie Haberman’s crack reporting team of Goldman and Schmidt will become millennials’ Woodward and Bernstein. 

The Mac v. pre windows 95 DOS battle was real. This was the period between 1984 and 1995 when Apple came out with Macintosh and a wysiwyg editor. PC/DOS had a bunch of also ran desk and luggable boxes of poop. Mac was simply a better tool for writing and preparing data for most applications.
