Seriously...What’s the endgame? Is anybody out there saying “You know, I was really thinking about voting for Trump, but after seeing these young men and women burn down our cities, steal from our businesses, and maim and injure people, I can’t help but reconsider my position.”

Maybe they are thinking, "Vote for Biden or get 4 more years of this".

@Larry

In your opinion, are subsidy takers poor operators?

You added that question after I had answered your original question.

No. I do not judge how other people choose to operate their business. If they think they need to take subsidies, that's fine. It's there, it's legal, it's purely a business decision, not a moral issue to wrangle with. I just happen to be one of those people who doesnt want the government up in my business.

Word on the street is that the bunny was trolling Ax.

@LuFins-Dad @brenda How come the map shows it in Kansas?

War of the Big Balls of Twine? LOL

Yes, it's a battle for bragging rights, and the one who lives longer gets to make their twine ball the biggest. I think the guy in Minnesoooooota died, so the honor probably has gone to Kansas now.

Yay for them. 😄

That live feed is good quality too.

@Axtremus Thanks!! Could be interesting.

Yes, I am in good shape for 65. That is definitely due to 20 years on the treadmill every day.

That was a great investment.

I don't see how you can do it everyday and keep it fresh...

Netflix, Amazon, DVDs

It gets to be like brushing your teeth, every morning and night

When I worked at Fenway Park, as a vendor, the sign on the locker room wall said "Selling is like shaving, you do it every day or you're a bum"

Another article on the Obama/Biden handling of H1N1. It reiterates a lot of what Strassel says, and adds more.

“I wouldn’t go anywhere in confined places right now," Biden said. "It’s not that it’s going to Mexico, it’s that you are in a confined aircraft. When one person sneezes, it goes everywhere through the aircraft.”

Airlines angrily accused Biden of fearmongering. Media reports noted that Biden’s pessimism contrasted sharply with the reassurances President Barack Obama had given a day earlier, when he said there was no need to panic even as he declared a national health emergency. In a matter of hours, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Deputy Secretary of State Jack Lew were summoned to the White House and assigned to clean up the mess Biden made: “Nip it in the bud,” LaHood said, recalling their instructions.

By 4 p.m., the three officials were hosting a news conference and backing away from the vice president’s words.

The snafu was the first of many scrambles and setbacks by the Obama administration in its initial response to the swine flu. POLITICO interviewed almost two dozen people, including administration officials, members of Congress and outsiders who contended with the administration’s response, and they described a litany of sadly familiar obstacles: vaccine shortfalls, fights over funding and sometimes contradictory messaging.

What a cool hide!!!

There are definitely are some creative people out there who spend a lot time creating hides.

She's a cutie. You go, girl.

All I can say is at least the colors weren’t reversed. We’d be hearing about it nonstop.

@Mik said in It's Friday night - what's cookin'?:

You raise a good point. Not sure why one would want more fat in a pot roast. I would think leaner would be better. I always have to separate the gravy before serving.

I made a slow-cooker roast with a pretty lean piece of meat. Didn't care for it at all. I use a chuck roast now.

ooopsie.

Eviction Due to Political Posting on Social Media

"Wages, a WHITE woman with "bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, complex post-traumatic stress disorder, agoraphobia..."

Why mention that at all?

Wages received $794 in monthly social security disability benefits, $700 in weekly unemployment relief and used a "Section 8" federal housing voucher which covers anywhere from 50 to 65 percent of the rent.

$1500 a month plus at least half your rent paid? Nice gig.

Which is why it's a good idea to own a rifle. Level III body armor does not defeat 5.56 or larger, even with a chicken plate.
