Oh wow, I haven't thought of that movie in decades. I actually liked it at the time. Gives new meaning to "Don't trust anyone over the age of thirty."

Similarly, my taste in music is closer to the Gipsy Kings than Bad Bunny. I enjoyed the show-especially since Ricky Martin has always been a guilty pleasure of mine (along with Lobo and similar 70s artists). I thought it was well done.

It made for good background noise. It's probably best I'm not back at work until Tuesday since I'm kind of glad the Seahawks won. The game itself was far from the best one I've ever seen.

Deregulatory also sounds like we're on the road back to smog alerts and rivers catching fire.

And because the Manhattan elite never accepted him as one of them.

He really ought to be Adult Rock by now.

Saddest part of all is that they are most likely happy that they're hurting people-especially 'libruls.' I have to say I'm not convinced that karma exists. I also have to admit I hope it does.

This is one of those things that in order for us to maintain the type of country we want, we will have to work hard for the rest of our lives. And anger is a good thing if it motivates us to try to make things better for others. Does this mean we can't have any fun? Of course not. It just means, as one of my favorite passages says, that to everything there is a season.

That's what gets me. One thing I've learned is that for many in this country, kids are good for a photo op or a sound bite. When it comes to doing something that will actually help and/or protect them? They might as well be trash. And I will never understand the hate people have for people who don't look or have a different faith (even though there's a lot about organized religion that I don't understand). And what makes it worse is that they seem to enjoy the thought of other people being rounded up and even slaughtered. I don't know if we can overcome this.

I do think there are times when we've tried to do better, and for a while we were making progress. Unfortunately, for some even the small amount of progress we made was too much for their small minds to bear. And even worse was that there were enough of them, and enough money among them, to erase them.

I picked up a copy of "The Story of Abba" yesterday at the library, thinking it would be a good light read for yet another weekend of colder than average weather. Turns out, it's a comprehensive history not only of Abba but of the music/social scene in Sweden and of Abba's reach throughout the world. Very interesting.

I would guess it was a virus, and the reason the steroids is helping is because it's power against inflammation and congestion. My experience with sinusitis is that it can take anywhere from 4-8 weeks to fully clear. Anyway, congrats on getting better!

He's not known for being funny or even having a sense of humor, so it's especially laughable when he or his apologists claim that he was 'just kidding.'

Wait, it really was an unnamed staffer?

I actually kind of like the idea of naming something "The Unknown Staffer."

He had a habit of taking out full page ads. His hatred of NATO, for example, was the subject of one in the late 80s.

Let's not forget the full page ad he took out calling for the death penalty for those 5 men.

Sounds like a NIMBY. Though I guess it doesn't matter as long as it's not built.

They're deliberately outing the victims as a way to shame them, and to let others know that it's dangerous to come forward when you're the victim of CSA.

I think one politician said he didn't care if his mother was in it, the files need to be released. And without protecting the identities of the perverts!

I've always assumed he was deliberately destroying it.

He also, just before the election, stopped the paper from publishing an endorsement. Then of course he donated to the inauguration.

I'm seeing memes that when Noem was governor of SD, her administration had a slogan that wasn't very well thought out: Meth, we're on it! Hilarious if true.

For me there was something extra satisfying about pulling that big level and hearing the noise as all of the little levers went back into place. I miss that.

True. As disgusting as the sentiment is, I can't help but think of a line from an old English novel: He's so unpleasant that it would be quite a misfortune to be liked by him.
