I hope he sticks to his guns and goes to the ethics committee. All of these “gropings” have occurred publicly, in front of crowds of people, and are pretty subjective (squeezing someone’s waist while getting a photo taken is groping???). Conflating Franken’s behaviour with that of the other high profile creeps like…

Burl Ives meets Clarence Darrow. Just saying...

Hoisted on his own petard! A phrase I have never in my 54 years have ever found the opportunity to write or say but I’m glad to have the opportunity now. Now I hope that it proves fatal to his presidency.

So... most of these complaints about Franken refer to things he is alleged to have done in very public places with an audience. It’s doubtful (I would presume) that he was intending to do anything clandestine that he would have wanted to cover up. The case with Franken is a different beast IMHO than the cases of most…

I respectfully disagree. He has done a mea culpa and has voluntarily subjected himself to a Senate Ethics Committee hearing. Pending the result of that, unless they vote to ditch him, it is the job of the electorate in 2018 to decide whether they want him to continue representing them. I don’t believe any of the…

I suspect that this is something he probably didn’t even remember considering that all of them were on a whirlwind tour of the troops, probably sleep deprived, and also because this is the first time that Leeann has said anything about it since.

What an uncanny resemblance.

No way mad cow disease would take him down. It’s impossible for the prion that causes the disease to infect itself. He’s like walking talking chlamydia that can’t be infected by another chlamydia bacterium.

Yep - for me hoppy beers give me a stomach ache. I am relegated to non-hoppy ales, lagers, stouts, etc... The whole hoppy IPA thing seems kind of like a fad to me. That is one thing for the mass-produced beer - few of them actually taste horrible... they just don’t taste like much. :)

Same thing with me - I drink craft beer because the mass produced stuff gives me wicked headaches. I also love stouts and there aren’t any mass produced domestic stouts out there (at least in Canada) and I want to support local brewers.

Will there be extraterrestrials?

He’s the best PM we’ve had in quite awhile. He’s trying to walk a very narrow tightrope between the needs/wishes of different regions in a country that is evolving with many people stuck in the old ways.

It really is surreal, isn’t it? That someone can be so narcissistic and/or ignorant to think that becoming president gives them complete power to do whatever they wish and disregard those institutions designed to provide the checks and balances. Even though it has been said numerous times, this can’t end well.

Excellent point. The thing I like about snowshoeing is being able to get to the places that are too overgrown in the warmer seasons. You really can get that “I’m going on an expedition” feeling even in familiar areas. Being able to walk across snow covered, frozen lakes is pretty cool as well. 

Does WHMIS training count? :P

I can’t believe I am stuck here watching this. I wish at least I was at work so I could be getting paid for it. :D

Great post for managing and exceedingly improbable event. Hope it scares away people who otherwise would litter up our wild areas and create the conditions whereby wolves, bears and other large mammals become habituated to people.

Her cup doth runneth over...

144 years... Isn't that how long the KKK has been shooting no-whites?

I see your rationale, presumably, for not including the NVidia Shield TV was perhaps seeing as a gaming console, but I purchased it for being a rock solid android media streaming device from my NAS primarily and it has been great.
