Very accurate. Y> "Stepford suburbs" is good. You're starting to sound like a genuine brie-sipping snarky urban sophisticate, Mr. Ross! :D We could also mention that St Cloud was settled by very...

One can hope. She didn't win by much last time, and she's only gone downhill since then. Even without the investigation, Minnesotans generally don't like their politicians to be national...

HC, there aren't any scandals. They Republicans in Congress would very much like there to be some, but they haven't been able to find any real ones, and their efforts to invent them have started to...

Under capitalism, too many bosses.
Under socialism, too many meetings!

The article in the OP assumes that the price will decrease by only 10% when it's legal. That seems unlikely to the point of absurdity. The stuffs's no harder to grow than tobacco, although...

Yeah, I used to be a vegetarian but I diversified.

Tom Clancy was one of my guilty pleasures. His earier novels are good for long plane fights, as long as you don't take him at all seriously. Tolkien is a better guide to the real world. He did...

I remember watching Sea Hunt at my grandmother's house; we didn't have a TV at that point.

Man, does that ever resonate. When we finally did get a TV I watched a lot of Japanese Anime in the...

Thank you! I even remember some of it. :d Everything about differential equations OTOH, leaked out of my ears as soon as I walked out of the final exam. You've heard the definition of an...

CO2 is CO2; "natural" in this case is just marketing BS. All it means is, "This is good stuff, you should buy more of it."

Why has this absurd thread lasted so long? I initially attributed it to the ability of folks in the bilge to wrangle endlessly over the stupidest of political minutiae, but perhaps there's more to...

HC, sometimes you make a lot of sense, and sometimes you're so off the wall I can hardly believe it's the same person posting.

I think it's vaguely interesting as far as it goes, but the premise of two orthogonal axes, and only two, is kind of silly.

Oh, well, here's mine. I was feeling a little more libertarian than...

I dunno - There are a lot of pretty similar table saws out there in various price ranges. A three-phase motor is nice if you have it (I don't). I bought the Ridgid saw because it was a good deal on...

Whining isn't very attractive, even for grownups. When I post something about politics here, I don't expect that everyone will agree with me.

If you only need to move the saw out of the way in the shop, rather than pick it up and take it to a jobsite, for example, then you might consider a wheeled base for a standard saw. The portable...

Excuse me? Did I say anything at all, positive or negative, about the points raised by Democracy Now? I was making a peripheral point; I've often said that there isn't really a far left in US...

So, my piratical friend, there are thousands, if not millions of news articles on the web every day. You've been doing a lot of innocent "who, me?", so tell us: why did you pick that particular one...

Glad you're feeling good enough to post. Best wishes for a quick and more or less painless recovery.

There isn't much far left in US politics, but I think Democracy Now probably qualifies.

Amen. This mortality business . . . A good friend of mine just went through an unpleasant divorce, and I had the sobering thought that my marriage (32+ years, very happy) is 100% guaranteed to be...

Fortunately she sleeps a lot, like her mom at that age. Tonight she was just overtired, and not quite used to sleeping at our house yet.

If you objected to a guy as president because he was half black, would you write it here?

I took the day off work, and spent the morning working in the shop on another Little Free library and listening to an ancient cassette of Los Chalchaleros - Argentine Zamba and Chacarera. Then...

Oy! Better than yours, not that it would be difficult. Well, it makes a good story, anyway. Old-time Spanish blessing: Que no haya novedad - May nothing new happen. Seems appropriate right now.

The deficit is shrinking notably, therefore the rate of increase of debt is less. The debt number generally considered important is debt/GDP. If the economy is growing rapidly enough, debt/GDP will...

Of course not. Whoever is president, there are lots of folks who don't like him or his policies. Not only that, it isn't a matter of "being a racist" or "not being a racist"; it's not a binary...

Now the post above is NOT a waste of electrons. Have fun!

Ms. Obama is a very, very bright woman. She saw how Hillary Clinton got turned into a human lightning rod for no particular reason (remember how she had Vince Foster murdered?...

True, but still - in San Francisco it wouldn't even make the news. I like living over very stable rocks, myself.

Seems a little like knocking out a couple of your own teeth because you're mad at the dentist, but it's not my car.

This is the stupidest waste of electrons I've seen in a long time.

Short version: The e-mails reveal nothing; no scandal, no coverup, no misconduct, no significant lying, nothing. They do reveal that the Republicans in Congress are trying very hard to invent a...

But there's no evidence of any wrongdoing.
Of course not, the administration has been stonewalling and covering it up!
So how do we know they've been covering it it?
Because there's no evidence!

Dud of Flaminster, Tingly Loup, and Woo!

I agree with you, although perhaps not about the extent Most of it will be in the Republican primaries. Calling it an 'upheaval' is, I think, a considerable exaggeration, although I could be...

If I saw those maps in a second-rate ersatz-Tolkien swords-and-sorcery fantasy epic, I'd say the author should really lay off the gin. I mean, really, Helligloblo? Fografiddle? Twatt?!?

This is very badly mistaken. I listened to most of the debate on the amendment, and read the language. It would have allowed anyone with any religious objection to any marriage whatsoever for any...

I also believe in representative government. Representative government means that we elect representatives, they vote on laws, and if we don't like it we can vote 'em out. If you don't like the...

56 votes, 0.83 percent. Jesus may have endorsed her, but apparently not a lot of other folks did.

Nonsense. It was no more "a blatant disregard for the constituency" than any other law passed without obviously overwhelming popular support. With all respect, your side lost. Stop whining.

It doesn't seem a good idea to give a sizable tax advantage to internet sales. OTOH, for a really small retailer, collecting and paying taxes to lots of different jurisdictions can be complicated. ...
