From one of my favorite comedians:

My luck is so bad that if I bought a cemetery, people would stop dying.

I really do not watch much TV and when I heard that I likely fell out of my tree. I just wish the skinny female spokeswoman type person had some meat on them bones. She looks like an anorexic die job barbie doll.

Texpat; If you ever get a chance to hear Wyschogrod speak in Houston, I’m sure you would find it fascinating. Or you could go to the U of H and see if you could sit in on one of his lectures. I think I would love to sit on one of his lectures. How splendid it is that he’s in… Read more »

Those in our house have all had the same experience.

The Lawfare website is run by three legal scholar/lawyers with a lot of experience in the National Defense Authorization Act area of law.
They have written a summary of what the act actually does titled, NDAA FAQ: A Guide for the Perplexed. There is a lot of misinformation and disinformation about the legislation out there.
Here is the link.

Bonecrusher #44; To me, allowing a lesbian couple get the first homecoming kiss, a long-time naval tradition, is an announcement that the US represent homosexual couples. I imagined the grateful Iraqis and Afgans being taken aback a bit if they saw this event. Woud they want the US to protect them in the future? Will they themselves be more inclined… Read more »
