My wife pays attention, and there's a few guys she likes for the job, but I don't remember them off the top. One of them is in Colorado, maybe Michael Bennett?

I thought last cycle that Corey Booker was someone to keep an eye on.

No.

There is a surprising amount of shit involving elephants, going on in Plano. The North Texas Performing Arts Center put on a production of The Elephant Man in April. The Dallas Zoo got some new elephants in 2016. The Days Inn in Plano has paper-thin walls, and one dude stayed there in 2016 next to a...

So this crazy motherfucker lugged an upright (actually got some locals to lug it) into the Elephant World preserve in Kanchanaburi, Thailand. And he plays music for the elephants. And they listen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK9-iPvk9Go He seems into it! Here's them moving the piano: https://www...

Jesus Christ, you guys.

I guess she has to live in denial? Rather like Mrs Bart?

^ That's an excellent quote.

All three. Obergefell , as an example. Originalists took one side and Kagan, Breyer, and Ginsberg took the other. The Constitution says nothing about marriage, gay or otherwise. And until 2015, marriage was defined by individual states, which were trending toward recognition of gay marriage. The Su...

Celebration of the court becoming about the original intent again, the nonsense of the left being defeated, and basic rule of law being maintained. Interesting. Always surprises me to encounter a clearly intelligent person who still buys into the Right's propaganda about "original intent"...

Can't, judging by the "evidence" he produced during the hearing.

Celebration of what? Is Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court somehow good for America? Or is tweaking the libtards satisfaction enough: his actual merits or performance as a judge are irrelevant?

Maybe she's just posing with it for the shot?

Christiana Raquelle, LA-based model.

Jim, I tried a test post and was able to post in your thread so definitely something squirrely is up. Alright, so this is weird. I was able to reply to one post in that thread, and post something else in that thread. But the same post I was trying to make a bunch of times, STILL threw the permissio...

And even after the crash / reboot / whatever than went on the past few days, I still can't post in the "Gym Hacks" thread I started.

Fat Cat wrote: ↑Thu Oct 04, 2018 9:04 pmdo you think that an enhanced tone of respect would change any of the 49 democratic "no" votes?

His "tone", along with Dr Ford's testimony, was bad enough to change a few automatic "yes" votes to "we need to have the FBI investigate these claims."

BTW, what was his lie exactly? He lied about receiving the stolen emails, which is arguably more consequential than the HS/college stuff as it's behavior from his mature professional years. Lied about Dr Ford "not moving in the same social circles" as him; about whether his calendar provi...

Thanks! Makes sense.

Fat Cat wrote: ↑Mon Oct 01, 2018 8:50 pmRenate was obviously a whore in HS, why should he fall on his sword because he (and apparently a bunch of other guys) knew it?

Because he's a judge, and he isn't supposed to lie in a hearing?

... because Robert Bork got borked ... Can we dispense with the notion that Robert Bork somehow "deserved" a SCOTUS seat but got borked out of it? He agreed to be Nixon's hatchet man in exchange for a promised seat on the Court; Reagan was keeping the quid-pro-quo 15 years later. He was a...

I think you misread the currents of our time if you think that he would ever again be allowed in public life, in any form, if he had admitted to Ford's allegations. He would have been branded with a scarlet letter and permanently ostracized, not just from the SCOTUS, but from the legal profession. ...

In the mood for a page turner, after we had a family tragedy last week. Unexpected. Knocked out Mr Mercedes by Stephen King. Solid King, delivers what you want. There's a sequel that I might look at, Finders Keepers . Also picked up the first Spenser book by Robt Parker, The Godwulf Manuscript . Jus...

If the guy said that he regretfully did some stupid shit to women back when he was a fratboy dickhead and he's devoted himself to making up for it by being a champion of women now (and I would assume both to be accurate representations) we'd all be in a better place right now. That's what my wife w...

Not over until it is over but pivot from sexual assault to he lied about college drinking tactics is telling. Doesn't seem like a "pivot" to me, so much as a "and another thing!" as different people focus on different aspects of the lies he's told. The crazy, superfluous lies on...
