    Yes, you are probably right Jolly. He wants the show to continue and uses this as another way to get sympathy. I do know that he has been quite popular for a long time so hopefully was able to save some money over the years. I remember watching the reruns of his Magnum show in Taiwan.

    @jon-nyc said in Meanwhile, in New York: Under investigation by whom? The Daily Caller? How could it be any kind of offense to receive ‘unsolicited’ advice? So if I walk up behind the judge and scream ‘cage the fat man’ then he’s tainted? From the story in the Daily Mail you didn't bother to read : A spokesman for Engoron denied the story and said he was 'wholly uninfluenced' by Bailey, but The New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct reportedly is looking into whether he violated any rules, according to NBC New York. That's lifted pretty much verbatim from the NBC story... https://www.nbcnewyork.com/investigations/new-york-lawyer-tried-advise-judge-trump-trial-civil-fraud/5395676/ Look, if we're not gonna play fair, let's not play fair. In a game with no rules, there are no rules. Since we're going to make this into a political case, let's nail this judge's professional hide to the wall.

    @89th said in Falcon 9 from up close: Sadly, I missed the explosion in 2014. I watched it from my driveway in Herndon. I had seen Wallops launches from there before. The rocket looked about the size of a fingernail at arms length, and no sound. I watched the liftoff on my iPad, then looked up expecting to see the rocket in a few seconds. I never saw a thing, except on the iPad. It didn't get high enough.

    He punted, because he's elected and has to live there. Cannot even have a hint of racism, because that dog is gonna howl all day and night, if Fani gets removed. I think the Judge is praying mightily that the appellate court gives her the boot.

    A lot of really really brave men during that time. according to US Department of Veterans Affairs statistics, 119,550 of the 16.4 million Americans who served in World War II are alive as of 2023. What is the saying? "Some gave all, all gave some"

    Again, one of those things that couldn't be funnier if it was planned as a comedy sketch.

    Do be alarmed if this sets off a fashion craze among pup pop kulture minded dog owners in the West.

    @LuFins-Dad said in Please don't suck...: he and Karla have decided we have to wait for his next visit to finish the series Oh my God. I finished it with my son, and I'm hoping to get my daughter to watch it with me again - she finishes her first year at college today. She loves a bit of horror.

    There is an effort inside the Liberal machine to bring Carney in as an alternative to Trudeau. While he hasn’t said yes or no he has indicated some interest by dropping hints during public statements. Time will tell, although my gut feeling tells me that there will be no caucus revolt - the opportunity for that was last September and is now past - and Trudeau will choose instead go down in flames in the next federal election. After that The Dauphin will have no choice but to resign make way for a new leader. Carney then may not want to have to clean up the internal mess Trudeau will have left in his leadership wake.

    Good dental health routine. Floss and brush. Repeat every day. Avoid getting punched in the face.

    Have to wonder what the relative losses from shoplifting/cheating are as compared to the cost of humans at the checkout. I imagine that, 10 years ago, when shoplifting was not an issue, it was pretty simple. But with cheaters and stealers, I'd like to hear if that calculation has changed.
