Every once in awhile I wander into a comic store, hoping they’ll have a new issue.

Charles Chips were the bomb. My mom was a sort of early health food crank, but my friend’s family had them delivered.

True, they were the “fastest trucks at LeMans.”

Iran is a lot like the US, with a progressive, mostly urban “Blue” region, and reactionary, religiously fundy “red.” It breaks along regional and class lines. Their hard-liners definitely have a base of support among rural and working class voters.

The last time I had oil heat it’s because I lived in a rural area (Long Valley, NJ) and gas hookup wasn’t an option. Isn’t that the case for most people?

Too big a hurt and they close plants and screw their employees. It’s not fair, but that’s how it works. As a practical matter, we can’t impose a penalty so severe they decide to leave US Market.

Russia lost WWI and most of its early 20th century and 19th century wars - Napoleon excluded. They’re tough but not unbeatable.

I honestly hope three-wheelers remain niche, because it wouldn’t take too many high profile accidents before the loophole gets closed, “for the children.”

My girlfriend’s late mother was in a PhD program with George Kennan as her thesis adviser. She quit very suddenly and got married.

By “demagoguing” I meant “racism, xenophobia, and staggering ignorance of how government functions” but you’re right - it isn’t clear, sorry.

Same here, and it (often) seems to work. But ... I just cancelled Saturday plans with a made-up excuse, so understand this comes from a partial hypocrite.

Why? They still won’t nominate him.

Which is what, honestly, makes Trump so interesting - he’s the first Republican in decades to run on a platform that’s explicitly not Conservative, which is why Nation Review is up in arms about him.

The locks. My parents did spank me when I was real little, but weren’t brutal about it ;-)

In the 60s and early 70s my parents bought Ramblers because you could get them with childproof rear locks. (You raised them using the edge of your keyblade).

Federal Civil Rights charges?

It might confirm the theory OJ’s son Jason did it?

Those red marks on his face suggest a lot of booze and/or cocaine.

Yes, I’d really like a more detailed explanation, rather than “SLAPP... which protects free speech.”
