Crackpipe?  Nah.  Bath salts and Heisenberg’s Blue Meth? Yes.

Also saw Sir Patrick Stewart performing Shakespeare (The Tempest) in the role of Prospero at a local theater (PaperMill Playhouse, NJ). I was waiting for Stewart to tell Ariel “Make it so, Number One” Alas, he did not utter that line.

Because they are teaching that America is bad. They don’t mention the 1,000,000 legal migrations per year; plus asylum; plus family unity, etc.  If we are so evil, why do migrants pass through other countries to arrive here?

Twenty years ago, I saw him on stage at the Theatre at Madison Square Garden. Excellent. No Alastair Sims, but excellent otherwise.

Alistair Sim - Best Scrooge Ever!!! Now, take this pound and go to the store and fetch the largest goose and bring it to the Cratchit’s. And if you see to it quickly, I’ll through in a few more pence.

Love the screenshot from “The Night of the Hunter.” Robert Mitchum plays a diabolic religious fanatic (who happens to be a con-man, multiple murderer and kidnapper — who’s perfect?) who marries a widow to getg his hands on the $10,000 the widow’s deceased husband hid.

A government job = subsistence wage?  Please, earth to retromancer. 

Please, this is why states are going bankrupt - platinum benefit plans, pensions, etc.  You give up salary to get those benefits.  Cant have it all.

If its so terrible here and wonderful there ...

If its so terrible, then quit.  As a state employee, you have many protections already. - civil service laws, due process, a non-profit employer, etc.

Unintended consequence. So, what do you think will happen with the ridiculous $15 minimum wage? Will employers give raises to those already at that wage?

By Sweedish, you mean Chinese

At least they didn’t slap an “AMG” on the back of it!

Not true. Suppose I buy a 40,000 car in NJ in 2017 and pay my 7%. If I move to Georgia in 2018, my car has depreciated to 30,000 ... I would have to pay GA 7% of 30,000. Something unfair about that.

doubtful.  Would limit who could pilot which plane.

Maverick: Tower, this is Ghost Rider requesting a flyby.

Too soon, but funny as hell.
