Thanks for responding. Coal is dirty and obsolete but it isn’t expensive, which is why there are so many coal fired power plants on the Eastern seaboard. I agree with you on mountaintop removal, but more on an environmental standpoint- our kids’ kids will wonder why we were so short-sighted.

I agree.

I might also point out that soooo much condescension is what allowed this country to ignore a huge voting bloc, who, however unappealing to many people, has been ignored and disregarded. And now I’m defending them...

They made them untenable because of EPA and OSHA laws, which was probably something that was going to happen at some point anyway. Hence my (for better or worse) comment. I think the Obama administration might have treated these displaced workers better if they weren’t all NRA/Nascar dudes. They’re an unattractive…

Hey, I voted for Hillary. I was trying to point out a vacuum that the Democratic Party created and which Trump happily stepped into.

I know some people in the coal business and while it may have been in decline, the Obama administration(for better or worse) pushed it off a cliff. So there are extended families and whole regions that have been decimated economically, who have lost high paying, blue collar jobs with good benefits that will never come…

And nothing about a Mews. Thanks Univision.

There’s something caused “contributory negligence”. It’s more likely to be a factor in civil proceedings. It’s up to the court to decide how much blame falls on the plaintiff’s shoulders and how much on the defendant’s. That’s why we have things like judges, and it’s probably why he’s not getting the maximum…

Do you want to know if you’re an asshole? You’re an asshole if you’ve ever spit your gum into a urinal, making someone else’s terrible job that much worse.

I always wonder if any of these fainting weightlifters have aortic valve stenosis, which can be exacerbated by lifting heavy weights. Too much blood squishing through a narrowed valve, then the heart says fuck it and your blood pressure drops precipitously.

No one will remember Barbaro now.

You could repeal the second amendment and he’d still be able to keep those guns.

He’s a lumberjack and he’s okay

Wouldn’t a decent set of snow tires and/or chains be able to handle that same terrain in those Jeeps?

You got it. It was a cabal of Caps fans disguised in Flyers jerseys stirring things up in a game that was already in hand.

O.J. was a much bigger deal than, say, Strahan. A closer equivalent would be Peyton Manning. Similarities? Athletic renown, high name recognition, ubiquitous presence in the media, generally favorably viewed(O.J. was probably a bit higher than Peyton is right now) AND O.J. wasn’t considered black(until after an…

It also ensures that you don’t blow a fuse or burn out your wiper motor if you turn your wipers on or forgot to turn them off.

The haircut thing happened to me. I told them I had a job and an appointment that I couldn’t miss. They’ve been substantially prompter since.
