If you don’t do exit strategies, the only certain exit is the cemetery.

Yep.

I just hope the Iranians are just chill enough to give his tweets time to flame out and say “Screw it. We’ll talk to your replacement.”

OK, not a good decision, but somebody go remind Gorsuch that he just argued on the record that the desire for privacy is enough to establish a legal right to privacy.

Terms and conditions on student loans are crap. I know people paying them off who aren’t allowed to pay the principle down, even if they make more than the pre-arranged payments. Unlike other loans, they’re not included if the borrower has to go through bankruptcy. Student loans are economic agreements and should be…

I have a hard time thinking of a university that would pursue a Trump Presidential Library on its campus.

“they don’t want to go because they believe America is not an honest broker”

Saying he actually likes the worst of the worst didn’t help at all.

When Texas Democrats left the state to avoid allowing a ramrod vote approving even more gerrymandering just one year after Texas districts were already gerrymandered, I supported it. Legislators running from an actual vote is just slimy.

The difference between Cheney and McConnell is that Cheney believed he could manipulate millions of civilians on the opposite side of the world like chess pawns and has been proven spectacularly wrong. McConnell believed he could manipulate a few hundred GOP politicians like chess pawns (politicians whose jobs…

And had the RRS Atenborough been given the silly name, it and its crew would have been given credit for the discovery. Children’s books and folk songs would have been written about it. Students of science would have always been able to remember its name on tests. Every discovery about the ocean for decades would…

As I grow older, I’m noticing a similarity between original Ruffles and Bugles I never used to see.

I wish the media would be more proactive in pointing out situations that pit State Republicans directly against National Republicans, when the victims are the constituents of both. In truth, it happens a LOT.

Most indoctrination with Whataburger begins in college. It spent many years being the only fast food joint consistently open after 10 p.m. and is still one of the few who keep their seating areas open 24 hours a day. When you’ve got a half-dozen friends winding down after a very long evening, the only places to sit t…

I have also seen a one-off Whats-A-Burger and the Watson Burger chain.

No airport location (or location built into a gas station) is an ideal chain restaurant experience.

Braums was going to expand recently but ran into a snag: their new distribution center would be on reservation grounds and (at the last minute) the tribe demanded that half the beef they distribute from the center come from tribe-owned cattle suppliers. Braums gets their beef from their dairy operations, so they’re…

Now I’ll have to get netflix and binge his new show. “Dinner for Five” is one of the all time great shows for celebrities telling stories. Favreau seemed to know everybody-who-is-anybody way back then: imagine who he could pull together for a slightly drunken meal by now.

“But now, it’s old news, it’s going to be eclipsed by her policies and campaign”
