Yes.

Starr was empowered by a different law, which is why he was a “special prosecutor” instead of a “special investigator”. The point was exactly this though: it allowed for an investigation of the Executive Branch to be answerable to Congress, and thus outside the control of the President. As you say, that law is no…

Do they have something to hide too?

Furthermore, having kids is no guarantee of joy

Can we go back to the part where there’s a 500 mile karting race?

No surprise: a later model Ranger is as big as an older F150. Shit’s getting big.

The AC-47 & 130 are heavily armed, but they’re designed as close air support. They need escorts to protect them from air to air attacks. The problem with any warplane analogy is if they’re fast & maneuverable they’re purpose built. You can’t soup up a plane the way you do a car (or a spaceship, apparently) because the…

He already did that... and then changed his mind! Waffler is an understatement.

Corker is also free from running again, and already caved. :-(

Rauner’s an asshole. Write to Madigan instead: he’ll do it if for no reason other than to spite the GOP.

That’s well documented: martinis used to be about 4oz, half the size they are now. Changes what you think of when you hear “three martini lunch” eh?

As a wine drinker, I visited a bar last week that poured my Sauvignon Blanc into a goblet so massive it made my hand appear miniature

There’s this weird... idea/thing/whatever among a certain set that if you write something down a lot, it will somehow magically/notmagically come true. They call them “affirmations”. No, I don’t get it either.

Of course. So is this:

One of my undergrad professors was heir to the Sapporo Brewing Company. He was uninterested in the business and let his brother take over instead. Not like he was some slouch: he’s a world-famous condensed matter physicist, one of the leading experts in my field. Anyway, you’d never guess it in a million years: he…

My confusion over what a Pantera race car is doing at a JDM auction site is only surpassed by my amazement over how gorgeous it is.

The only production one from a road car, but there’s a rich history of... other Japanese V12s. Yamaha had F1 engines, and tried to build a sports car around one engine, but it didn’t work out. Honda had a few F1 motors as well. Nissan had racing motors too, for a couple different series, and a fifteen liter diesel…

Your comment about size is spot on, and reminded me of this.
