However, the poppy itself is a HUGE symbol of how the British funded and maintained their supremacy after securing a monopoly (via the East India Company and their private armies,) of the Indian opium trade. It funded their conquests, gave relief to their soldiers, denied affordable relief to others, and was used to…

You realize moving around the same general area to find different food is not the “migrate” most people refer to when they are talking about birds, right?

Booze for anything that generates aches and pains and/or coughing. Fortified cereals with some non-dairy milk alternative, in various states of soggy/mushiness depending on how bad my throat is... I need, at the very least, the zinc they provide because vegetarian sources aren’t very high in zinc and what they do…

The CW loves these shows. Remember The Tomorrow People?

I bet the press they get out of this nets them a van donation. :)

Hey, is that a picture of Wicked City Brewery at the top? It sure looks like it. If so, it’s pretty amazing that it ended up here... Wicked City is in Jerome, AZ, a tiny little ex-ghost town with a population of less than 500!

I wonder if repeated head-injuries were already, or are now becoming, prerequisites for jobs in the Trump administration?

If there’s one thing we’ve learned about Mueller through this whole investigation, it’s that he’s not political, nor a sensationalist. I don’t know who was actually thinking that he was going to drop some bombshell, but those that were clearly don’t understand how religiously he holds to the idea that the DoJ should…

Congrats to Wisconsin, and especially to the Center for Media and Democracy, the incredibly wonky yet amazingly incisive boogeyman for Walker, the Koch brothers, ALEC, and anti-unionists and anti-progressives generally.

They might just vote for candidates endorsed by unions if we had that kind of thing here.

same here, but WA instead of CO.

NPB and KBO would have SERIOUS complaints about MLB opening up shop in their countries.

“I thought that union members tended to want to restrict their membership?” Why would you think that? That automatically limits their strength... They’d love to grow their membership, as long as they can still serve their current membership in the same way they do currently.

Once again, both Nike and Adidas are based in PDX, and Underarmor has a major outpost there. It’s not just about the size of the companies, is about what type of companies we’re talking about. I couldn’t give 2 shits about Timbers or Thorns, either

When it’s not in Nebraska?

Ummm... Nike? Adidas? Underarmor? You sure you’ve set foot here?

Sounders/Timbers... There is no Sounders/Whitecaps rivalry.

No, we’re not.

The Portland Diamond Project are some serious people making all the right moves. It’s not just Ciara and Russel Wilson (who are public faces and figure-heads in a much larger sense than Jeter is to the Marlins,) there’s a lot of experience behind the organization.
