Awww don’t tell me that. SVP is one of my faves. Or was I guess. Dammit.

You probably have some redeeming qualities that he does not. Think it speaks more to him vs you than to his cousins vs your cousins.

Please stop saying “gaslighting” on topics like this. In this case, for example, I do not have any emotional attachment to the NCAA that would cause me to question my own senses / perception of reality rather than accept that they are lying scumbags.

No he isn’t, and you don’t.

80,000 people died last year because of you and people like you.

Iago, actually.

The more you know indeed. The flu is a respiratory illness and does not cause vomiting. Gastroenteritis is sometimes called “Stomach Flu” but it’s completely different and not what the article is about.

Oh for sure. In the Swiss example they are very heavily regulated. Just pointing out that there are different ways to get to universal coverage.

Fucking thank you

This is one option, but the removal of all private insurance isn’t necessarily the only or best way. The Swiss have a system that’s basically Obamacare on steroids, and it results in costs well below ours despite some of the best health outcomes on the planet.

And Holder is not here for the fuckshit.

Gotcha. Certainly haven’t been here long enough to call it old DC, so I believe it.

“You’re right, you’re always right, Sonny.”

I’ll be at 15 year resident come November, and I don’t remember noticing the switch, so it might not be too recent a development in terms of common parlance. Totally anecdotal experience though.

But they don’t refer to themselves as living in SE, it’s Navy Yard or Capitol Hill East ... or just Capitol Hill. Geopolitics is alive and well in D.C.

The one trial I was selected as juror for I simultaneously felt bad for and jealous of those revealed to be the alternates. They had to sit through trial for a week and didn’t get to be a part of the decision, but they also got to go home / back to work immediately.

And here I had managed to forget they actually let Hamilton publish that crap.

People who can’t use “whom” correctly, on the other hand

That late hit on the w/r after the pick is ridiculous. Very concerned about player safety.

Definitely yes to the first part, and kind of on the second. Because the racket breaking was the second warning, I think the point penalty was required. And when she melted down and started calling the dude a thief, I don’t think the game penalty was too crazy.
