    Flash floods can be insanely dangerous. How quickly and powerfully they can come along at a moments notice.

    WARNING: THE VIDEO BELOW IS A BIT DISTRUBING.

    It would be El Suxor to be the newest hire, based on skin color.
    I wouldn't do it. I'd stick to jazz.

    @LuFins-Dad said in "the kind of people they are":

    Does either side have any supporting evidence to their claims?

    My guess? The Times was planning a piece about the neighborhood he lives in. Whether it was a legit story or a cover to dox him is probably up to interpretation. The reporter doing the story was probably interviewing neighbors and asking leading questions about Carlson and lining up photos that made neighbors suspicious and they called him.

    Sounds plausible.

    Whoever said the revolution will not be televised was very wrong.

    a primary in a single district isn't going to be very well polled. I doubt its possible to see a 40pt gap or even a 10pt gap between polled numbers and reality on a national scale.

    But I agree with your main point that we should be wary of polls.

    Routine antibody tests are IgG/IgM. Considering the nature of our very friendly virus, the antibody test may be negative now.

    Yeah, you're right.

    Btw I’ve been to the town of Barolo.
    Small little country town in gorgeous piedmont countryside.

    The Cherries in Barolo dish that Mic snooted is a specialty in that region, I understand.

    @George-K said in The Return of Rosie the Riveter:

    Thoughts on the museum?

    It was quite instructive. Well worth the time. I was impressed by its symmetric presentation of the war into an "Atlantic" and a "Pacific" part, the latter of which is typically only glossed over over here. I was also impressed by how it also elaborated on the less glorious aspects of the American participation in WW2. It felt like information, not like propaganda. On the other hand, the museum didn't say much about those parts of WW2 that the US wasn't involved in (such as most of the war between Germany and Russia), but it's not really an objection because most visitors are presumably more interested in the part of WW2 that involved the us. But one conclusion I drew after visiting the museum is that one should visit multiple museums in different countries on the same topic to get something that resembles the truth.

    Whenever the left gets around to thinking about it, Indian folk will be resented for their appropriation of the skin color badge while exhibiting none of the cultural and political lockstep that's supposed to go along with it. Actually I think I just read an opinion piece on CNN about that very subject, written by a token Indian person who also happens to be a leftist True Believer.

    State level politics. If our hair is on fire about every nutty GOPer in this category this one should rise to a four alarm fire.

    Also google Obama Madigan to help Phibes who is keeping track of Presidents and their unsavory friends.

    I saw another article saying substantially the same this morning I think. Prolly the same study.

    I think Bach was suggesting substantially the same idea?
