Possibly another trial to keep an eye on...

A FB friend posted a recent Cadbury commercial today..which led me down the rabbit hole

When Chris Christie may be your party's best hope.... You're screwed

I find myself using that line quite a bit lately as we transition into the final act(s).

We watched it a while back. Good series, then to go back and watch the first two movies after not doing so in a while gave them new perspective.

I don't remember The Joan days for the Sox. It was always "The Cell". Seemed appropriate.

I learned shortly after moving here we're in a weird weather hole. it can be storming within 5 miles in all directions but we won't see a drop. I think for us the proximity of a couple of rivers near us may be part of what's happening. Then it could be the paper plant in the nearby burg.

IFIC early in his Presidency he made bad jokes about dogs. Dissed Obama's, probably the same with Biden. His comment was something like why would he spend his valuable time following a dog around the White House lawn picking up dog ****.

How "Christian" of them, eh MTG.

I'll just sit here and sip my Tannat and shake my head at both sides...

Just your normal real estate transaction between friends... Abe Fortas was unavailable to comment

The only semi serious gun legislation in the '70s came about when the Black Panthers started patrolling neighborhoods in Oakland, Ca with weapons https://www.history.com/news/black-panthers-gun-control-nra-support-mulford-act

Maybe we need some LBGT and Trans celebrities to start promoting guns...

Here's a court challenge I'd love to see go before juries... https://www.sltrib.com/news/education/2023/03/22/utah-parent-says-bible-contains/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email Basic thumbnail, an Utah parent is asking the court to remove the Bible from libraries for basically the same reason "Christian" book burners are seeking to remove other books. So they’ve submitted a request for their school district in Davis County to now review the Bible for any inappropriate content. “Incest, onanism, bestiality, prostitution, genital mutilation, fellatio, dildos, rape, and even infanticide,” the parent wrote in their request, listing topics they found concerning in the religious text. “You’ll no doubt find that the Bible, under Utah Code Ann. § 76-10-1227, has ‘no serious values for minors’ because it’s pornographic by our new definition.” The code cited is the Utah law passed in 2022 to ban any books containing “pornographic or indecent” content from Utah schools, both in libraries and in the classroom. It came after outcry from conservative parents groups, who have been pushing to have titles removed.

An annual event for Colonial Williamsburg, they light up the gardens behind the Governor's Palace for a couple of weeks. Add some 18th century music, mostly fiddles this year. It's a fun event and beats the "ghost tours"

There are still a few of us around who remember having to fight to have FM radios installed in their vehicles. The dealers would do it for a price $$. There was also the less expensive FM Converter option. Now that virtually every vehicle has some version of wireless connection, all radios are becoming obsolete.

Sorry Mark, butte fact is your chosen medium is as outdated as standard transmissions with the shifter on the column. AM radio died in the 90s with a few dinosaurs left.. Much like you and your cohorts shows... https://www.mediaite.com/radio/mark-levin-accuses-auto-manufacturers-of-removing-am-radio-to-attack-conservative-talk-shows/ Talk show host Mark Levin accused auto manufacturers of removing AM radio from vehicles as an “attack” on conservative talk shows. Levin made his comments on the Friday edition of The Mark Levin Show, which was then circulated via Media Matters. Levin’s conversation initially centered on the push for more people to buy electric cars. Electric cars and even some hybrid models are being manufactured without AM radios due to electrical interference with the vehicles’ operating systems.

The whole Thomas rebuttal is pure BS. Anyone with a grain of propriety would instinctively know that accepting free plane trips or vacations, even from a longtime "friend" should set off warning bells and whistles. Not to mention underwriting Thomas wife's Political Action Committee. I've known smaller market reporters who have turned down the "Goodie" packages from PGA and LPGA tournament sponsors so not to be accused of favoritism. He's a member of the country's highest court, and he doesn't understand that your "friend" offers you a gift, that it may not be technically wrong but perception matters just as much.

The whole voting on campus debate goes back to when they changed the voting age. It all hinges on what is considered a permanent address. If I own two homes (or more) do I get more votes? Do snowbirds get to choose whether they vote in their winter or summer home? The students spend more time and spend more money on their campus locations than they do living with their parents. If you want to exclude the student vote, they should also get tax exemptions.
