I don’t really think this will happen, but the back of my brain keeps nudging this as a possibility. If the impeachment inquiry starts really digging shit up and people start getting scared, his cabinet could 25th Amendment his ass and then start playing the victims of the Mad Man In Charge rather than willing…

Whatabout whatabout whatabout whatabout ....

So you’re suggesting ...

This is my favorite: let the market decide until it works against me.

to talk about “civility in politics”

I don’t like the “vote with your dollars” sentiment. It feels too much like the anarcho-capitalist “let the free market regulate everything” ideal. It also implies choice when there isn’t always one. My wife’s parents lived in an area in Florida where the only place to buy clothing was a Walmart 30 minutes away. The…

I feel like a Harvard education is like the Porsche of the 90s: far more people are buying it for the name than for the quality of the product. I used to work for a Porsche dealership.

I wish I had your optimism. One thing we do know about this administration is they care not one whit about the law. They’ve already risked serious criminal violations, all the way up to the Attorney General, to protect this president.

While it’s certainly bad PR, it doesn’t appear to pose a significant threat to the Times’ business

If I’m Pelosi, the very first thing I’m asking for is what else is on that server?  Because as we speak they are attempting to sanitize it.

Which team is Pelosi playing for?

Stop, my penis can only get so erect....

I do, too, but my manager (he was new) insisted.  I told him I’m going to do my absolute best to make him look foolish.  He said, “so long as you’re there....”

Let’s take that offline and effort it at a later date.

Kind of. I play in a near weekly poker game. There’s one guy, let’s call him “Eddie” (that’s his real name), who likes to come in the beginning of every game beating his chest and bluffs at the first five pots with nothing (I once called him down with Jack-high and beat him). This surprises me in the same way in that…
