What the bleep? None of the women in that photo is wearing anything that is green by even the most generous description.

The system is working exactly as designed. The system is intended to funnel huge amounts of money into the pockets of defense contractors and the legislators who accept their bribes. Equipping troops is something never appears on the radar of Congressmen, the vast majority of whom are cowards and chickenhawks led by…

There have never been any limits to how low people will stoop in order to steal, and there never will be. I firmly believe that stealing more than a certain amount, or stealing from certain sources (like TANF funds) should be a capital crime. When you pull @%#$ like this, you cause untold human suffering. People die…

They flew there, of course. Hell, in the spring, sea gulls fly to the Great Salt Lake to scoop up the brine shrimp when they hatch.

One of the things that curses a restaurant the worst is lack of parking. When there’s parking for only 4 cars out front and it costs you $20 to park within walking distance, you’re not going to seat many customers.

One thing I remember from one of Bourdain’s books, which I didn’t see mentioned here, is how badly a restaurant can be hurt by unscrupulous suppliers. From what he wrote, apparently the owner has to personally check every shipment with scales and calipers or he’ll get robbed blind.

The only sensible answer to the question posed in this article’s headine is, “No sane person would give a damn.”

My proposal: a law that anyone whose incomes totals more than $1,000,000 a year is not entitled to any protection from any government-run police force or firefighting agency. They’ll have to spend a lot to protect themselves, thus forcing them to keep money in circulation where commoners can get at it.

Democracy in the US can be dismantled only if the American people let it be. We can still save the Constitution. STOP reelecting Mitch McConnell and his ilk. STOP swallowing what you know are lies and hypocrisy because you think you and your kind will get something out of it. STOP caring less about your country than…

Unfortunately, you’re absolutely right. The election system has always been more about the privileged elite trying to control the masses than with actually finding people worthy of office. The very existence of the Electoral College is proof of that. It gives those in power a final chance to negate the will of the…

It presents no barriers to you. Your post is hypocrisy. Your reasons for refusing to take part in helping decide who governs the country are, you have a personality defect which you refuse to deal with, and you’re lazy.

A caucus has one good point - it makes voter fraud much, much harder. When live people have to turn up to register their choice, you can’t have party hacks voting the graveyard. And it’s easy to see whether or not the people in the meeting are actually people who belong in that area or if they’re being trucked in to…

“I’m having to spend hours of my time, like late at night, trying to figure out summer camp and get them signed up for sports and all that.”

And your well-thought-out, valid, rational suggestions for how the book could have been written better are . . . ?

There’s also the riches-to-rags trope. Trying to gen up more sympathy for the protagonists by making the reader feel sorry for their financial reversals. Also that angle appeals to some people because of their own experiences.

What is so hard to believe about a well-off Mexican not knowing much about other parts of Mexico? There are plenty of people all around the world who don’t know squat about the world outside their little neighborhood. There are lots of people in Florida who don’t know squat about Wyoming. Lots of people in Kansas who…

To Betsy and her ilk, there should be no separation of Church and state. They want their particular church to BE the government.

BUT SHE’S TOO STUPID TO KNOW THAT.

They don’t buy into that idea. To them it’s nothing but a smoke screen. They make a hypocritical show of believing it because they think it excuses their vicious greed. It’s the modern version of the “social darwinism” crap used by the fatacts in the Gilded Age as a pseudo-scientific explanation of why it was “right”…

There is literally not one single thing they can do to any character in any game that will NOT trigger a bunch of oh-so-delicate little snowflakes who take everything WAY too personally and go through life looking for things to be offended about. If they had done nothing but change the color of the eyes some pack of…
