I got a good look at one of these ‘tanks.’ There isn’t much to the body of one of these. The minimum amount of steel required to make something that at least feels sound. The frame underneath is probably heavier. The engine, an eight cylinder monster requiring the frame supporting it to be even more massive (ever see…

Maybe then salaried workers will only have to put in six nine hour days per week. You also need to better define "salaried" to include only those making a significant multiple of the minimum wage. Obama tried, and I think it got shot down. 

Me too, because my Frau (SPD, unless someone from the AfD makes a point she likes) can’t stand her.

No, that would not make him shut up about it. He’d add it to his letterhead and signature block, and go around wearing the medal everywhere he went. He would not let you forget he was Donald Trump, Champion of Peace and WINNER of the Nobel Peace Prize while preparing to push the red button that starts World War III.

“No, workers do not need unions, workers need to form their own organizations, independent of the unions...”

...who has to put in an additional ten hours a week so the boss doesn't question their commitment to the company. 

Details. You bake it into whatever bill you pass.

I kinda wonder what Cubs fans were like in the 1930s, when the Cubs would win the Pennant every third season only to get clobbered by the Yankees. 

Hizzoner quit last week to spend more time at his day job.

Or at least escort him to Air Force One, shake his hand, make sure he gets on, and drive him to Trump Tower once they land in New York.

In San Antonio, we have these little green and/or brown lizards. Once in awhile, we will find one in the kitchen sink or the bathtub or elsewhere in the house. I will trap it with a coffee mug, slide a manilla folder underneath, and escort our guest outside. It's usually pretty glad to be out of our house, where…

YYou think they're not doing that? Life isn't an either-or proposition. 

It was, as Obi Wan would say, a more civilized age.

Dirty little secret: the people in charge of the Greens are not exactly climate scientists. Mainly, they're politicians. 

I usually say a little prayer of thanks for getting me safe on the ground. 

So how do you hold someone in contempt of Congress? Can the chairman simply point his gavel and say, "you, sir, are in contempt," like on TV? Or does that require a vote?

The fact that this person is allowed to be in government, is a stain and indictment of the district he represents.

If I were the mayor of San Francisco, I would write Mr. Trump a letter saying if he were really concerned about used syringes on California’s beaches, he should send a task force there to clean it up and send the city a bill, itemized, of course. Otherwise, he should STFU.

Totalitarian systems are not sustainable because they require ever increasing resources to maintain control. It’s one reason Donald Trump managed to lose money running casinos and can barely run the White House. 

But a far worse haircut.
