Re: ISF Dead...

Icerat got it going again. This happens occasionally, and to his credit he does keep it going. But I'd rather a landlord that wasn't quite as absentee. The reports of ISF death have been greatly exaggerated. It's interesting reading ISF with no option to reply. I've been lurking for a year and it d...

Re: US govt to recommend no more than 2 drinks per week of alcohol

I just can't imagine anyone saying, "Well, the FDA says no more than two drinks this week. I had better not have one tonight. I already had one on Tuesday, and I want to be able to do one more with my friends on Saturday at the bar." I suppose there is some marginal value in it, in counter...

Re: US govt to recommend no more than 2 drinks per week of alcohol

Works for me! (An old Bob and Doug McKenzie sketch where they said, "Count me in on metric!" comes to mind. For those who never heard it....they were explaining how to convert from standard to metric measures. You double it and add thirty. So, if you had a six pack, in metric you would hav...

US govt to recommend no more than 2 drinks per week of alcohol

So.....I've seen on the interwebs all sorts of stories the last few days about a proposal for the US govenrment, I think specifically the FDA but I'm not sure, is going to change the drinking guidelines. Right now, those guidelines say that for men, they should limit the number of drinks to no more ...

Re: Planet America

I think he's a shoe in for the Republican nomination. The majority of the Republicans actually want someone else, but their process is skewed to favor the front-runner. The people who don't want Trump aren't going to all coalesce behind anyone else. By the time enough people drop out of the race to ...

Re: Planet America

I just read the indictment in USA v. Trump. I think a conviction is impossible, with a hung jury being the most likely outcome. He won't even have to plead an insanity defense, which ought to be his only legal option. The trial ought to go like this: Lawyer: "Your honor.....ladies and gentlemen...

Re: Planet America

Meanwhile, did anyone see Mitch McConnell's performance today.

I wonder what it would be like to have political leaders who were born after the Second World War ended?

(I think maybe Trump was one or two years after, but he's still too damned old to be elected President...in a sane nation.)

Re: Planet America

A member of South Dakota’s House of Representatives went on a podcast and claimed that Mount Rushmore is a “freemason shrine” and a portal for demonic entities to enter and spread communism throughout the country. https://www.wvnstv.com/news/national-news/south-dakota-lawmaker-calls-mount-rushmore-...

Re: Planet America

If Trump is the Republican candidate his presence will probably ensure the Democratics maintaining the Senate. Though I doubt he´ll be their candidate, he is already in too much trouble with the latest indictment. From the voters' perspective, I don't think his latest indictment is very significant...

Re: Planet America

What astonishes me is that Trump is even being mentioned as a contender for next year, let alone a realistic chance of winning. I fear for you guys if he somehow won. If I had to place a bet today on who would win the 2024 election, I would pick Trump. That's not what I want, but it's what I think ...
