I fly to China 2-4 times a year with 2 other co-workers. The standard for us is aisle seats in a column (14B, 15B, 16B). This lets us chat if we need to, but also not have to make small talk. On the first flight incountry I took with them, I ended up sitting next to an engineer. I asked him “do you mind if I read?”…

Both side, y’all.

The only problem is the Funbag drops ~2PM local.  Snickering on the can at work leads to a lot of side eye later.

Why do we even need to file? I can’t find the source, but from what I remember if every taxable entity (people and corporations) paid a straight 12.8% of earned income, it would more than balance the budget. No filing involved. There would be no exemptions, rebates, or offsets. Everything except government benefits…

Here’s the thing though, this particular boss’s bad instructions have the force of law behind them. In the military, it’s colloquially called “I wish/I want.” As an officer, if you tell your troops “I’d really like you guys to do X,” that has the same weight as saying “I order you to do X.” Trump blindly going in…

My son was offered a full ride to a small college ~20 minutes outside a large city in state. It’s not really known for what he wants to major in and he would be among the top 5% of the students there (hence the big scholarship). He was also offered a decent scholarship from a large well-known out of state school that…

He’s going to tariff the fuck out of the Adobe, the little brown car that’s made out of clay.

As a conservative generally opposed to larger government, I applaud your argument. The New Green Deal is going to be the Space Race my kid’s generation. Just like that, there are so many positive knock on effects we can’t quite see but can clearly intuit besides the whole saving the planet thing.  As the kid in the…

The quickest way to stem illegal immigration isn’t a larger wall, but cut off the reason to come here. We made public corporations sign off they don’t cook the books after Enron, we need the same thing with E-verify. Make all public CEOs personally attest that neither they, nor their contractors/ suppliers, use…

Trump, like many other people with more money than actual worth,

Everyone knows ease of ordering is key at Taco Bell,

I’m stunned the full report hasn’t “leaked” yet.  I fully expected a Wiki-leaks style dump from some disgruntled DOJ lawyer already. 

That was my first thought as well.  Potlucks bring everyone together.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the race starts to turn on him, after the convention, that he pulls out. He will claim he got done what he wanted (whether it happens or not) and that he’s got more pressing business matters to win. This will leave the party in the lurch (as it they aren’t already) with having to decide to…

I’d be interested in a decade after Trump is out of office where he ranks. Everyone like to hit on GW Bush, but we had Harding and Teapot Dome was breathtaking for its time, Hoovervilles, and Jackson was Jackson. It’s easy to think about what happened in your lifetime as being worst, but there’s another 200+ years of…

I have issues with both, but an athlete that turns down scholarships to sign with a bigger program now so he can get more money later doesn’t tug on my heart strings. As I said, all students make these decisions; but not all of them have a pot of gold at the end of their rainbow. For most of them, its just a bucket of…

This almost feels like Capone cheating on taxes.  It’s something minor and petty that has a real chance to blow up into the scandal that brooms some significant people.

There is, and I’ve watched a lot of movies about it late at night on Cinemax.  They’re awesome.

Think about it this way: If the 9 largest cities in America got together (which, coincidentally are represented by the same party) and they decided to vote for Alfred E. Neuman, there would be fuck all the rest of America could do about it.  Sure, your vote from West Bumblemachuck may count as much as a New Yorkers,…

It’s not just him and anyone in March, but most other kids contemplating which university to go to right now. My son was offered a full ride at a small school that he doesn’t really like and isn’t known for his major. Or, he can take loans out for $15k a year to go to a larger school which will greatly increase his…
