Excuse me, those were Russians storming the beaches of Normandy? My 11th grade history teacher sure had me fooled.

I remember when being able to *buy into* Medicare was the leading candidate for the public option - because it works.  Not Medicare replacing the whole damned thing, just being able to buy into it. Why is no one talking about that anymore?

Kentucky’s healthcare exchange was the model for the nation before that bozo Matt Bevin came along.

Nothing too strenuous. We realized that our income should be enough to bring our balance to zero. Balance transfers at 0 APR HELPED, but we set monthly goals and just did it. We hit zero was in early 2007, which was extremely good timing, as it turned out.

“McGrath is a self-described moderate who believes the Democrats currently running for president are veering too far to the left.”

My problems with baseball at the current moment:

Bt it wasn't the individual mandate, or rather, the enforcement of it, that made it constitutional. This whole thing is built on the flimsiest of foundations. Not that it matters. 

Yeah, but all the selfish, myopic baby boomers will be on Medicare, so it's all good.

So originally, the ACA was held to be constitutional because the sole objection that had any substance, the enforcement of the individual mandate, was deemed to be a tax, and therefore allowed. That enforcement has been removed, so the rest of the ACA, of which a majority of the court had no problem previously, is…

It’s the team of assholes on The Five who do it for me. Fortunately, they’re on at 5, so I can offer to run for pizza while that shit’s on.

I remember those days, when CNN and MSNBC were minor league farm clubs for Fox.

Not too many that sell stuff you want to buy. Most companies that have any sense stay far away from inflammatory garbage like this.

Well, I have seen McCain's ribbon rack, and it is indeed impressive. As I mentioned often back in the days when John Kerry was running for President, they don't just hand out Bronze Stars and Silver Stars for no good reason. The shit you have to do to get those makes you a genuine American hero, whether you believe…

While our fearless leader managed to not crash any planes or (omigod) get himself captured by not going to war at all. Only a stable genius can find a doc to sign off on a bone spur diagnosis for an otherwise healthy individual whose only symptom was apparently a bag full of cash.

Which might get some interest in Louisville, but then there's the rest of the commonwealth. 

She was 13. I think the deal was more Mitch not wanting to go on the record with his opinion of women in combat positions. 

Or two years. Beat Trump, and Barr isn't the Attorney General anymore. The criminal charges will still be there. Surely that would raise some concerns. 

And that does what, exactly?

In a Corolla of that era, yes. The B pillar sits too far forward for anyone of more than modest size to get in the car easily, and once in, you can’t just hang your elbow out the window like in most cars. If you’re not careful, you can even knock the plastic panel loose from the inside of the pillar.

The Naval Academy cannot afford to coddle a bunch of legacy dances. They have a serious military mission to accomplish. While John McCain may have gotten in because of his family pedigree, at least in part, he still needed to produce once there.
