We’ll see. In his first term he campaigned on allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices. Then he got elected and Pharma rolled him in one meeting. Biden then got it done, at least a start, with 10 drugs.

Pennies compared to what the government normally wastes money on.

One thing that occurred to me last night… I think there is a generation of kids out there now who know the Weird Al parodies better than the original songs… White & Nerdy achieved a lot more commercial success than Ridin’ Dirty… and kids that only heard American Pie a couple of times in their life can sing The Saga Begins by heart…

It was rather generous.

RIP. I saw him with Black Sabbath in 1978 just before he got kicked out of the band - it was their 10 year anniversary tour. The backing band was Van Halen!. It was easily the loudest gig I've ever been to, although it was my first one so maybe that affected the memory a little.

The Nats just fired their GM and coach, too. You know, you have to be the cream of the crop to even get to the big leagues, so I can see how any team can win any given day… usually it’s the teams that learn base hits are better than HR swings, and if they can get 2-3 strong starting pitchers… that’ll usually get them far into the post season.

@jon-nyc My understanding is that Hoover was personally more engaged with and always more focused on the threat from the various tentacles of the Kremlin and the Comintern than any threats posed from fascist Europe or Imperial Japan. He tended to steer the latter back to the military authorities whenever possible.

I finally perfected the art of turning yarn into alcohol. I knit you shot.

All the Finnish I know comes from porn.

He looks 20 but nobody was videotaping themselves practicing piano in 1961.

I’ve never seen the latter except in civil engineering. State licensing was seen as totally unnecessary when I graduated BSEE in 1990. I remember my grandfather (BSME from MIT class of ‘28) implored my mother to make me take the exam. He didn’t realize how irrelevant it was in the EE space.
