I loved the John Adams HBO miniseries, which was generally well done. That said, they made Dickinson look like a complete snidely fop, which he was not.

And he wrote the perfect country western song!

I want to Gettysburg College and had a psychology professor, Dr. Mudd. His (great?) Grandfather had patched up John Wilkes Booth leg after the assassination.

What if the drowning child is a meat eater?

Is it just me or has anybody here ever even seen a vegetarian wearing an expensive suit? The vegetarians I know wear ratty clothes and reek of patchouli.

I guess wind socks are complicated.

Which is why I have long said that Jones is one of the most dangerous on the left. He'll never forsake his ideology, but is intelligent enough to recognize and plan on dealing with the obstacles faced in implementing it.

Of that I’m certain.

I once saw lightning hit a transformer that was probably about 50 yards away from me. Brightest flash of light I ever saw in my life.

The WaPo doesn't need to keep extolling the virtues of this program. Most Americans are already sold on the idea.

Ted Kaczinski's manifesto doesn't seem as nutty as it did back in the '90s.

1970s = swinging singles

2040s = swishing singulars

They tried to market Jaguars to people who were much more inclined to want to drive Probes.

It was in effect a kill on contract order, but stated much more judiciously, something along the lines of the person/persons doing the shooting apparently were displaying no intent to surrender and that LE would do whatever it takes to neutralize the threat. I guess it could be construed as a shoot to kill order, but was actually just a rational call toward dealing with the situation correctly. In a case like this the two are not mutually exclusive.

I was actually thinking of Dorner when I posted this.

I think the sheriff said, “neutralize,” but his meaning was pretty clear.

Unknown at this time. Watching live presser with the sheriff. Ongoing active threat.
