The best part about that is that the quote is from 2015, which explains how Nunes could make such a sensible comment. He just decided to switch teams after making it.

pretty sure its a show of force move due to Canada Day

The Democrat running against Boebert is Diane Mitsch Busch. She is a reasonable, middle of the road former county commissioner and former state legislator. She has a shot for an open seat against this new Sarah Palin wannabe. People who care should contribute to her and to John Hickenlooper, who has a shot at tipping… Read more

Class action lawsuits require approval both from the district court and enough members of the class in order to actually settle. This article from the ABA explains it nicely. The bankruptcy matter complicates things significantly, because bankruptcy rules create tiers of individuals/organizations with priority over… Read more

Some people also wear tinfoil hats.

Well, on a positive note, Boebert turned a safe Republican seat into a competitive seat where DCCC will almost certainly put up a moderate Dem to challenge her. No Democrat, no matter their politics, was going to run against an establishment Republican like Tipton. Now that we have NRA Barbie, it seems like a Senate… Read more

I should look for inspiration and downsize the fleet (currently at 5 though the TR6 isn’t mine).  But the XJ6 is at my Jaguar mechanic so that’s gonna cost a fortune so now I have to keep it a while to enjoy it. No good reason to sell it, it’s not worth much. 

Oh man, sorry to hear that :(

That’s another fun local demographic, the lucky ones who bought back when normal people could do so. You could still get ordinary old houses for 100K in 98004 a mere 30 years ago, hell, a friend’s parents built a new house in Kirkland, west of Market, 2 blocks from the water, for 125K in 1985 - new house and lot… Read more
