Give it a decade or two.

And nobody gave a sweet flying frig about it until Trump needed to divert attention from his troubles.

Boot to the head...

It’s really a huge amount of nothing, a desperate attempt to divert attention from his impeachment. I suppose we should be thankful he’s not resorting to Clinton’s approach of looking for things to bomb.

I suspect like any large industrial product, there probably are some unpleasant byproducts created in their construction. I don’t know how it compares with the construction of any other power, but I suspect their more than offset by the lack of emissions while it’s operating.

Yes, billionaires in wine caves should have just as much right to decide who is president as waitresses or plumbers.  The problem is that they currently far more right to decide who is president.

If this stuff is wrong, then I don’t want to be right.

Yep, those very people.

The first one I remember was a Mafia black 1955 Cadillac Coupe de Ville, and that was pretty cool

Nobody’s mentioned this one yet?

And the people making out like these bulbs are some kind of sacrifice? Come on, a bulb that goes years between changes and slashes your electric bill is hardly a sacrifice.. I have CFLs right now (I know, I am a monster), but I have a package of LED bulbs for when they finally expire. Their main drawback seems to be…

Honestly? I’d really like to see Bond done as a ‘60s period piece.

Really, Dune needs the Game of Thrones treatment, but I am really looking forward to seeing what Denis Villeneuve does with it.
