Unreconstructed Curmudgeon

Wut???

1. Not a man’s POV. Should be everyone’s

2. He was supporting Liu , and pointing out how biased phrases sneak in

3) The Rabbi accepted his point……but you know better?

So do I.....1985, a year that will live in infamy!...a business mistake so memorable, it's still being analyzed and discussed.

Judge orders Trump administration to restore George Washington slavery exhibit A federal judge in Philadelphia on Monday ordered the Trump administration to restore an exhibit about people enslaved by former President George Washington at his former home in Philadelphia.

"Learned helplessness, no matter how much Respondents may try to will it upon the judiciary, is not an option."

Judge Sunshine Sykes savages the Immigration Board ruling, ordering that the Immigration service must obey constitutional guidelines.

No matter what the theory, any claim a ballot is false/illegal renders the entire ballot possibly invalid because there's no provable way to demonstrate result "a" is legal, but result "b" isn't.

4) Lastly, Israel and all the assorted domestic issues here associated with US foreign policy there, is an explosive time bomb, as is our fracture with Europe. I'm deeply concerned about both.

3) party unable to confront powerfully a GOP bent on controlling government.

I'm not predicting this, but I believe it's a possibility. I'm heartened by Spanberger's assertiveness. I wasn't sure she'd provide that, but I'm disgusted with Jeffries, Schumer, Gov. Whitmer, and a bunch of others.

2) Why? The Dem party will be split between status quo-era and more pugnacious voters (and politicians), leading to primary fights and a fractured party. Given the current Republican stranglehold on so many primary media sources, 2028 will be up in the air, fueled by voter disgust with a Dem

1) I'm taking the liberty of paraphrasing aggressively, but here goes:

If 2026 gives us a House, possibly even a Senate, led by a Dem party concerned above all with maintaining its past relationships with its donor class, the door will be open to GOP retrenchment.

I'm reposting because "moral panic's" meaning is often vague to many people even though they recognize the term.

As a freshly retired Professor of Ethics/ Philosophy, Hillary's a genuine expert, not merely a self-proclaimed one.

None of us should underestimate the impact of losing our alliance with Western Europe on our everyday lives. It's not just the economics, but a shattering blow to our individual psyches, all of which have been emotionally connected to Europe for our entire lives.

Unabashedly affecting.....

Look, if Collins can claim she's "concerned, " Murkowski can claim she thought pilfering Greenland was a nothing-burger.

Worth comparing to Trump legal strategy. It's the same "kick-the-can" further into the future to avoid present-day consequences.

A little Thermidor never hurt anyone........

2) It reflects the same position Biondi projects: they believe there'll be no transfer of power, and that they control legal outcomes sufficiently to ensure there's no transfer of power.

Just making the claim advances the strategy.

1) Not insane at all, more like the administration believes it doesn't matter what they say, only that they say it. We have to stop labeling this as "insane," or "crazy." It's none of those things. It's deliberate strategy, both political and legal.

3) varieties have vanished or become rare. Whatever the case, canned tuna's not as good.

2) reserved for restaurant trade world wide, but that's just a guess. Current canned tuna is "fishier" and has an after taste, far more oily than the white Albacore tuna of the '40's, '50's and '50's. Since Tuna demand has soared, even possible (I don't know. I'm hardly a tuna expert) some

1) Nope.

My wife, who's only one year younger, remembers it as I do, has exactly the same feelings about Dinosaur age tuna and modern current stuff.

If I had to guess, I'd say sushi has become wildly popular around the world, and better grades of tuna are being

2) don't know whether it's mercury, economics...whatever......but there's fundamental difference.

1) The white tuna's not as good, either. When I was a kid...admittedly, back in the Pleistocene Era....tuna fish salad sandwiches were effing ambrosia, no matter where you found them. I find the current ones inedible. There's a real difference. I

He isn't remotely a Democrat. Massie would be uncontrollable, and would vote with Republicans 80-90% of the time. He's much further right than any Blue Dog ever was. He's further right than Liz Cheney.

Total chaotic mess. Among the most self-indulgent films I ever had the misfortune to review. Russell and Reed were probably having fun, but no one else was.

2) wrote, but was shocked Russell saw the review published, as it was, in a small trade journal targeting theater owners.

1) I was working as a film critic then, saw this in a trade screening before it opened. All I remember now is the 360° tracking scene of the wild nude wrestling scene between Bates and Reed. Also, Ken Russell wrote me a note complimenting me on the review. Have no idea now what I

er....why the hell would anyone want to be a giant such as this? I mean...helluva way to become a permanent incel........

er....0?

The only possibly questionable item is canned tuna, which used to be great when I was a kid, but which has steadily lost quality. I'll eat it, but resentfully.

5) burdens businesses that've played by the rules excessively.

Mamdani's caught a tiger by the tail here, and he will surely pay for it.

4) make much profit on an operating basis. Market pricing's almost always speculative, i.e. based on forecasts of increasing value.

This system, in place for decades, makes any systemic change difficult, especially since the RE lobby is immensely powerful. Equally true, suddenly changing things
