Re: Whozeewhatzit - Today

The local fried fish place, H-Salt , offered a menu with a new addition - fried Oreos. Seems they are aiming on replacing the yearly county fair in adding to local death totals.

Jr either is dumber than the rest, or smarter in that he wants to “stay under the radar,” but I don’t see much evidence there. Astute analysis.

The same Chamberlain also made with Hitler. It was partly a class miscalculation, a untitled outsider can't possibly supplant the ruling class. The mistake both political parties made about Trump.

Re: How the FBI is finding insurrectionists - with their own help - Yesterday

So far the only real consequences have come from the employment sector with both private and public employees being either fired or put on leave pending. Disciplining police as ever presents a Gordian Knot. A small Virginia force didn't hesitate to fire two officers while Seattle with about ten involved dithers and has to deal with their police (union) fraternal association.

Quotesteve... So if 25 R's decided to be not present, would that make 50 D's 2/3 of the (at most) 75 Senators present? YES! Wouldn't this be an easy way out for senators afraid of being primaried? No! They'd be label turncoats and cowards and the first to be primaried.

Quoteclay QuoteRgrF QuoteDeusxMac That one “continuous shot” may be one for the record books. It was longer than the 8 1/2 minute continuous shot in 1917? I think this one may best them both in terms of continuous shot: (spoiler - 90 minutes) I recall that from some years ago. Got about 20-30 minutes in before losing interest.

Re: This years flu almost completely wiped out by COVID measures - 4 days ago

There is also the avoidance factor. While probably statistically small the reluctance to come to a hospital or even see a doctor for minor ailments has pretty much skyrocketed. People who would previously run to the ER or doc at the sign of runny nose (that's right - I'm talking about you my former daughter-in-law), are now willing to ride things out.

Re: Witless ape rides a helicopter - 5 days ago

Buckley, who could turn a phrase, was no prize either -- his manner of speech was enough to put most people to sleep. Any propositions he enunciated were tethered to the previous century. That's being generous, for the most part his thought processes never evolved beyond upper class nineteenth century societal group-think. But that's only my opinion, others may disagree.
