Besides, in my own defense, just because I posted about his book club doesn't mean I like his selections! Deepak Chopra gives me a rash! Not defending Rodgers, either. He's a truculent sonofagun. Kinda got a kick out of his "I own you" eruption, but still. One doesn't do that.

@doctor-phibes said in Do it. Please.: @jolly said in Do it. Please.: I don't think they have the balls. You think he'd show up? He's not exactly known for giving 'clear and concise' responses to questions. If he went off on one of his meandering rants, he could quite easily end up implicating half the GOP, including himself. He's not gonna show up. He'll claim executive privilege, and tell them to piss up a rope.

He's just retired, give him a break - they probably paid him a few grand for this, and he didn't have to any hard sums or anything.

Who has a 401k without choice on which investments are made? Are they even a thing

They won last night with the second string in a lot of key roles. Their defense was still great. Glad to see it.

https://news.trust.org/item/20211021173931-3z8a8 U.S. Senator Joe Manchin, a centrist and a stumbling block to Democratic President Joe Biden's ambitious social agenda, acknowledged on Thursday having discussed leaving the party if his Democratic colleagues considered his stance "an embarrassment."

Good to know @LuFins-Dad ! We are thinking about going to Disney world in a year or two. I’ve never been but our daughter will like it. I also look forward to her watching HP in a few years too.

Heard this sad story on the radio last evening.

RIP Maestro. Some of my favourite recordings were under his baton. Notably Beethoven’s 5th piano concerto, DDS’ 7th and 13th Symphonies. I am sure there are others as he was often my “go to” conductor when I wasn’t sure which interpretation I should get. He certainly displaced Von Karajan in my preferences.

Yup. Read the law. They clearly violated it.

I think you would be hard-pressed to find a lefty who will argue in favor of a specifically defined CRT. The rank and file talking point regarding the CRT controversy is to eyeroll, mockingly ask the far-right wingnut to define it, and giggle at the out-group.

Now, if only the History Channel would pick up that story, because F'ing VIKINGS!

If it is half lemonade and half ice tea that doesn't leave much room for the spike

My Grandpa Jolly was much better with a froe than these guys. Like many things done with wood, there is an element of artistry in reading grain and making wood do what you want it to do. He'd use cypress when he could get it, white oak if he couldn't.
