It’s not a “conservative” Supreme Court. It’s a fucking Roman Catholic Supreme Court! Fundies abandoned their traditional anti-catholic bias in order to get their pet project accomplished and will now have to deal with the consequences of their bullshit-infused partners, as American Catholics are a joke.

Dolly Parton has told a great story about being approached by Colonel Tom with the intention of having Elvis do I Will Always Love You, which would have been fantastic. Unfortunately, part of the standard Elvis deal was that he would get a songwriting credit for songs he performed, and that is a “no dice” situation…

For all the hand-wringing about Obama’s fiery pastor, there was absolutely no talk of Trump’s complete lack of church attendance or his reference to “Two Corinthians”. Does Rudy Giuliani qualify as a “spiritual advisor”?

He was supposedly sober, but they found a lot of mary jane on his car.

She would have a lot better chance of claiming to not know how the Electoral College works if her husband of many decades wasn’t one of the the foremost legal experts in the country. She and Clarence have no plausible deniability of knowing how those laws work. Her repeated communications on the matter indicate that…

The one exception would be Boeing moving its executive HQ from Seattle to Chicago about 20 years ago. (WA has no income tax.) That was a cynical move by then-CEO Phil Condit to escape the constant gossip regarding his cheating on his wife at the time. That move started the self-destruction of Boeing.

5th Gear: A simple explanation for why a company would move its headquarters, where the highest paid employees work, to Texas would be income tax rates.  As long as the executives are given generous moving allowances, why wouldn’t they want to move?

Everyone should be concerned about connivance stores. Sketchy shit going on there.

5th Gear:  Screw the buyouts.  Put them all on Putin’s dole.  

The funniest part is that “Mixolydian” is the name of a spermicide.

So your solution to this non-problem is to have The View go to late-night? While it probably wouldn’t be difficult to find a hack, a has-been, a bigot and a nobody to put on stage, do we really want to increase the land mass of wasteland TV?

One contract was on 3/28 (hers), the other on 3/29 (his). Totally different formats & verbiage to the documents, which suggest more than one promoter agent at work here. Looks like nobody knew who was going to be the headliner until they had two of them.

Isn’t it amazing that cops can’t wait to choke out an unarmed black man for selling cigarettes, but cower in fear when a teenager has a gun and is executing children? It’s almost like they know assault rifles are killing machines.

Pretty questionable business move by JT.  Maybe he needs a court-appointed conservator?

There are many billions in frozen Russian assets that can be re-directed to reparations when the time comes.  No one is going to trust those fuckers to just write a check in worthless rubles, so their damages will be paid in forfeited super-yachts and soccer teams.

As my ol’ pappy used to say, “Money is a lot like garbage: build a big enough pile, and you’re bound to attract vermin.”

When even one of the offended tweeters says they had to “hear ~12,000 people laugh at a transphobic joke”, it makes you think that the vast majority of the audience had no problem with Chappelle’s material. That’s the real story here, not that a handful of people didn’t like the show.

Not all of them were rich, either,  Some of them (Washington, Allen) were heavily indebted land speculators looking to cancel their debts by cancelling their debtors.

We’ve had 150+ years of living with trains, more than long enough for the basic “don’t fuck with a train” knowledge to be a steadfast part of common culture. I say this as someone who used to hop on & off a very slow moving train to get to work in the mornings. I knew it was stupid, but even I was smart enough to jump…
