I was thinking St. George for skiing. Salt Lake might have been better from a population size.  I thought Dugway was farther north.  Even as a flyover native, I still don’t know geography.

That’s less on the Senate and more on the senators.  Obama had a majority in both houses but couldn’t get enough support from his own people to push the ACA through.  As I said in another post, if the minority party wants to filibuster, tell them “fine, we’ll wait.”  When they get tired of reading the phone book and…

This is the exact reason for the two houses. Under your proposal, regardless of how enlightened Wyoming becomes, if California wants to push through legislation to make Wyoming the official landfill of the US, a landfill it becomes. If there’s an oopsie at Dugway Proving Grounds and some of the chemical weapons…

I think enforcing the filibuster would help. When a Senator threatens to filibuster,  the opposition needs to tell them go ahead and provide all access to the media.  How many people will want to see themselves drone on for 12+ hours to stop legislation?  You might get one or two really self-important douche bags…

It’s not just the team friendly deal (which I’m sure has a wink & nod agreement for after retirement). It’s how that plays with the ability to get good weapons around him.

Shway was the top point of an awesome trifecta with the Ryan Choi drop and the Godd vs King Shark mention.  With Batwoman coming soon, I would love to see the Legends meet Terry.

Another thing that keep Brady as the GOAT is salary. Brady is around the median for annual salary, whereas Brees is tied with Carr for sixth. His past couple contacts, Brees played the game where maybe he wanted to go elswhere, maybe he didn’t to leverage a bigger number. Everyone talks about what a team guy he is,…

They were saying “Boo-urns.”

A friend of mine is from Brazil, but is a permanent US resident.  He is still registered to vote in Brazil, but hasn’t bothered to vote in the past 8 years.  They have mandatory voting there as well.  It wasn’t an issue for him until 2 years ago when they stopped him at passport control.  They almost wouldn’t let him…

I always have 2 generous splashes of bourbon on hand for any cobbler desert; one for the fruit, one for the chef. It adds a smokey sweetness to the food and makes the waiting more mellow.

I learned very quickly in the Army to admit mistakes and address improvements quickly. When I entered the business world, people gave me weird looks when I said I was wrong. No one wanted to be seen as fallible. There was always a lot of dissembling and blame storming. Even in organizations that preach accountability,…

Love the avatar.  Bloom County was my favorite newspaper strip as a young’un.

I get that, but the flip side are dinosaurs like Ted Kennedy, John McCain, Nancy Pelosi, and Mitch McConnell who have been in office long enough for people who first voted for them to be grandparents. There is no way someone who has been in office for 30+ years, vastly enriched themselves, and hasn’t had to fend off a…

I came to bash HamNo for his pie in the sky liberalism/ socialism screed and found myself agreeing with everything he said. These are all common sense reforms. The only addition I would make would be adding term limits to the House/Senate of a 12-15 year range and a ban on those same members being allowed to be…

The companion to this is visas. Some countries don’t require it, some do. Make sure you check well ahead of time to see if you need one. Those offices have their own timeline and depending on which country it is, they can’t be sped up. I had my passport at the Chinese consulate to get an updated visa using a third…

So it’s kind of a vast left wing conspiracy?  That didn’t play well on the flip side, it doesn’t play well now. 

I know, right. Thank godness guys like Keith Ellison, Harvey Weinstein, Bill Clinton, Al Franken, and John Kennedy are all Democratic saints.

At what point did I say I didn’t care about existing life? We need a social safety net in society. I’d rather it come from the people for the people, but that’s not going to happen so the government has to do it. I do have an issue with the fact we have millions of people who spend their whole life in government…

Chevy Chase was an asshole from the word “go”. He quit the first season 3/4 of the way through. When he came back to host in season 2, he antagonized the cast so much, Bill Murray punched him.  It may have been the mountains of coke everyone was doing, but to piss Bill Murray off enough to throw a punch has to be…
