Nice job. You took my sentiment and distilled it to its essence.
You’re right on that count, but I think he believes he can beat it. Or that they’ll stop pursuing it if he’s gone. I actually think he believes it really is a “witch hunt.” It isn’t, but he thinks it is. He’s convinced himself of it. I dunno, maybe just wishful thinking on my part. I really don’t have any idea where…
I actually imagine Trump saying, “Look, I tried, but the Democrats are unreasonable. You can’t work with these people. My wonderful businesses are losing money when I’m not there. So that’s it, I quit. I did some great things as president, but nobody appreciates it. I’m going back to New York to get by business back…
I wish I got in early on Eve, I can’t imagine getting into it now.
I grew up in a town that had a bar/pool hall. My friends and I would play pool after school. But there was a sign on the door that said, “No minors after 8pm. Not responsible for bodily harm.” Miss that place.
The river bank I fish on has a hard cider mill about 25 yards away. They don’t serve food, just cider on the deck outside. I’m amazed at how many people show up with kids, who can’t do anything but watch their parents drink. Those kids wander to the river, with no adult supervision. I’ve taught a lot of kids about…
If I’m going to a nice restaurant and plan on dropping $50-$100, I don’t want to hear your kid cry. Or shriek. Or run around. I’m there to relax and have a good experience. Petulant child screams ruin that. I know that your child is god’s gift and all that, but the world does not revolve around your wonderful gift.…
TLJ was just the OJ slow Bronco chase, but with spaceships. And I’ll skip over every awful thing that movie vomited at us to just point out one thing: If you’re going to a casino planet in a nostalgia fantasy like the SW universe, why aren’t you going to get Billy Dee Williams back as Lando? I’m sure he’s available.…
CN Tower?
New op-ed from Mitt Romney: “There’s finally a president I can beat in an election, despite having no vision, nothing to say, and a hatred for folks not like me.”
Yes, I’m aware that I’m posting to an eight month old article, but I can’t let this go: Not one chef mentioned using bacon fat for roux. What the fuck is happening in kitchens?
My only hope is that legit Supreme Court Justices treat him like he doesn’t belong there. In a perfect world, they’d call him “Merrick” every chance they get. Or, “Not Merrick.” But never “Brett.”
Thank you. I’m not a fan of the NRA either. I think they are irresponsible in their marketing. I agree, they create a “death cult” with their messaging. I don’t buy any of their protection bullshit, or the idea that we might have to rise up against the government--that’s just Mad Max fantasy. I enjoy shooting because…
Well, when I was in college, at a state university, you could go to the municipal cops or the university cops. Things may have changed. In any event, campus police are shit. Also, I’m fairly certain that if you have reason to believe the local university or municipal police will not help you, you can take your case to…
I know that sounds like an easy solution, but it isn’t. I shoot at a local range every week, but I never carry a gun. The “good guy with a gun” argument rarely works. FIrst of all, where would she carry the gun? Holstered on her hip? In her purse? This guy likely came upon her as a surprise, in which case it would be…
“Steering wheel.”--Montgomery Clift
Well, at the state university I went to, I had a conversation with a municipal cop who told me if anything ever needed police attention, I should go to the municipal police, not campus police, and he pretty much accused the campus police of just being a fixer for the school.
I just should have said, “The university’s own police force,” rather than private. I didn’t mean they were not actual police, or that they were just security guards. But I stand by the idea that the campus police have no interest in doing anything but protecting the reputation of the university through artificially…
Yes, I am aware that they are “real cops,” and I’m also stating that they are not to be trusted. They are pressured to protect the university before victims. If you read Deadspin regularly, you’ve likely seen many stories where campus police fail victims in order to protect university crime stats. And I know from what…
