    Yep. Tidily omitted from all the "there's no evidence" sneering, is the fact that in many reasonable scenarios for fraud, there could never, even in theory, be evidence of it. The ultimate backstop is whether the scenarios are scalable. Hopefully the invisible cheating that does occur, is evenly balanced between candidates.

    I appreciate that someone took some time with that, but it's more along the lines of clapter for a target audience, rather than general purpose funny. IMO.

    The headline is a thousand times better than the details. @George-K said in WSJ: "America's Worst Mayor: https://www.wsj.com/opinion/chicago-city-council-blocks-property-tax-increase-brandon-johnson-fbe49cc2?mod=editorials_article_pos3 America’s Worst Mayor Keeps Losing Chicago’s Brandon Johnson gives up on a $300 billion property tax hike.

    Heard that in the original run. I've been listening to Megyn's show lately. It's fun. Listening to both sides of punditry, it seems like reality matches with theory (based on polling) that the left is not very happy, as compared to the right. Of course that's true now right after the election, but it holds true all the time.

    My so-environmentally-conscious leftie brother just bought one of these Winnebago Travatos. gets about 11 MPG. I guess it's OK to kill the earth if you can save on hotel rooms and camp in people's parking lots.

    Very good harmony between the two. I think you posted a video about harmony recently.

    Didn't watch the video as I am sure it is pretty gross. But people sniffle their nose all the time. And that is just the liquid form of a booger. LOL

    @Mik said in Is my dog racist?: The dog’s brown. Maybe he knows something she doesn’t. The FB person's dog is white, so that explains a lot.

    @taiwan_girl In the signature spot on the back of the credit card, I used to write "please ask for ID" rather than a signature. In some places, credit card stealing is a big deal, so tried to avoid that happening. You have now jogged my memory… come to think of it, that is exactly what the bank’s were advising and I accordingly did when I received the new card. That instruction on the back of the card is what triggered the clerk and his supervisor.

    Unlikely. That said, I’d take the Big Gray Dog before I’d fly Frontier.

    @Horace said in Could Anything Have Been Done Different?: @LuFins-Dad said in Could Anything Have Been Done Different?: 45% of women voted Trump. Point taken. Easy to lose sight of this, with all the messaging that he hates women and wants control over their bodies. And that messaging is generally sourced from a female talking head. Yep, he actually had a majority with white women.

    What was Zimin doing in Belgrade in the first place? He ought to have known Serbia is an unsupervised sandbox for the Kremlin and its FSB and GRU hoods.

    I just need that last one. I'd like to have it for when someone asks to borrow a pen.
