  1. Have you noticed most of the folks with Trumpkin signs display one for the AG as well but conveniently leave out one for Ms Sears
  2. I’m going to wait until they are done screwing around with redistricting. The whole “non partisan” map drawing thing turned into a big fiasco thanks to partisanship on both sides. Still concerned about the Governors race.
  3. There is a part of me tells me that’s what they want. Especially the whole thing about Beloved in Louden County. Stir up controversy over a stupid minor issue to get the base involved. But bore the rest of us
  4. The Great British Baking Show is in our rotation.
  5. Mine is scheduled for Monday at my local CVS.
  6. We had a stretch at my last job where they had us asking for customer feedback on the call. They used it for evaluation purposes mostly. Every time I asked the question the old Animaniac bit was in the back of my head
  7. I recently had it out with one of my doctors about something similar. He prescribed a drug that needed insurance approval. At the next visit he asked how I was faring on the prescription. ”I haven’t heard from anyone” “Do you answer your phone for strange numbers” “Not usually” “You should always answer your phone” ”If it’s important they should leave a message” ”Always answer your phone” I end up getting a call from the speciality pharmacy the next day.
  8. They were attempting to enter part of the Capitol where the VP and Speaker, along with reps and senators. It wasn’t just simple vandalism. They were responsible for the deaths of four police officers (don’t try to bullshit me that the officers who committed suicide shouldn’t count in the total) If nothing else the Castle Rules that you folks once seriously and joyfully promoted should apply here. They were protecting themselves and others.
  9. Forget about defunding the police, Trumpublicans want to do away with them all together
  10. When was the last time Ohio State produced a successful NFL QB?
  11. I sort of followed the first season then got bored with the genre. There was nothing in that scripted show that made me admire him. He reminds me of the guy who bought the last “real” radio station I worked. The guy came across as a nice guy when he was interested in buying the station. It was a small AM, we were ignored by the last couple small corporate owners who focused on the FM side, leaving us to basically keep the needle moving. He indicated he had big plans for the station. What he really wanted was the property and could give two shits about the station. Once he took over he hired a satellite music salesman as his consultant, we went round and round over the decision to go to the bird and his choice of formats once we did. He even accused me of sabotaging the equipment. Funny, when I left the 7-11 regional manager hired to oversee the operation also walked. The station eventually when dark. The guy now has a local reputation as a slum lord who cheats his tenants. To me that’s Trump in a nutshell. Only on a national scale. A slumlord who fleeces his followers. Just take a look at his latest social media venture. A shell company inside a shell company.
  12. It looks like they had a rough year a while back and there was a disproportionate number of suicides. The school does have a reputation of being a nerd school with not too many parties (unlike that party school in Charlottesville) I should note my spouse is a UVa grad. Class of ‘72 one of the first groups of women to graduate there. She’s done very well. It toughened her up.
  13. Flag poles, bear spray, baseball bats, chains, fire extinguishers all can be fairly lethal weapons in a large crowd of protesters. There’s even been documentation of firearms brought into the Capitol. If these guys had followed the law and stayed no one would have gotten shot. https://www.factcheck.org/2021/03/capitol-protesters-were-armed-with-variety-of-weapons/
  14. Come visit William and Mary. Depending on his major I’d say the quality of education is similar to both UVa and U of M. It still has the small town feel (Charlottesville has sprawled out of control in recent years). The sports teams are nothing to write home about, but. https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/william-and-mary-3705
  15. John Dean’s right. We need a Special Prosecutor, pronto
  16. Or you with Nancy Pelosi and Joseph Biden
  17. Considering the movie was described as a low budget picture and a large portion of the crew reportedly walked off the set earlier in the day protesting conditions, including the fact they were housed about 60 miles away. It really sounds like a major screwup where a backup person had little or no idea whether on the loading of the pistol.
  18. Wonder how many takes it took to make one….
  19. Watching the Ga Tech, UVA game, #99 Keytaon Thompson WR is an absolute beast. Probably not an early round pick but he’s made some great catches tonight. UVa QB Brennan Armstrong should also get a look as a mid round possibility. Kid’s got moxie 350 yards passing, 99 rushing after 3 quarters. Yes, I realize it’s the ACC and Ga Tech, but the kid has heart.
  20. BTW, loved your Union story. Glad to know your taking advantage of benefits without having to do any heavy lifting
  21. Best you can do. A ruling from a partisan hack appointed by a hack of a politician
  22. https://ballotpedia.org/Michigan_Proposal_3,_Voting_Policies_in_State_Constitution_Initiative_(2018) http://www.pahousegop.com/electionreform
  23. And in states like Pennsylvania it was the Republican legislature who changed the rules to allow more people to vote by absentee ballot by mail before the pandemic. In Michigan, the voters approved the expansion in voting by mail prior to March of 2020. Do some research. Don’t depend on your fake news sources.
  24. Especially since when the founders set up the system voting was restricted to landowners only. Followed by the belief that “leaders” were best to judge. Also there were no political parties. That went out the window with Thomas Jefferson.
