When it reaches Zone 5 for gardening, people will be moving there in droves.

My first job out of college was at a DC think tank where they hired a JW as secretary. When my boss found out they didn’t take birthdays or vacation he had her go back to the Kingdom Hall and find someone else looking for a job, and he hired her too.

I understand our strategic interests there, but it really is nice to see some other country manage mission creep for a change.

Still don't get what makes binge watching any more RL than Netflix.

Garbanzo beans (aka chickpeas) are in the top left corner of the banner photo ... and not mentioned anywhere in the piece??

You mean the part where she immediately turned to the one official on the court who could overturn the call because of interference?

Don't assume you can, friend. I spent 15 years doing something I really enjoyed and paid well and I did it well enough, but it can't hold a candle to what I'm doing now. The difference?

I've already had two plates of chicken fettuccine and my ass is super tired, but that picture makes me want to get up, leave the house and FIND KEBAB.

Funny I should be reading Jim Fallows' piece on the military situ right now, because he is all about the A-10 and sees the F-35 as a product of political unaccountability in military decision making at its very, very worst. He lays flaming turd bags at both the Dems' and GOP's doorsteps btw.

I think my favorite financial services TV spots (OK, possibly the only ones I have ever liked) all started out as though they were adverts for luxury products — cars, watches, etc. — and then about 20 seconds in, needle screech, and a chart popped up to show you what kind of hit your investment portfolio would take in…

I can't stop looking at ... no wait, that was a movie.
