    I’d say the lawyers got to him. No doubt he wants to tweet about Comey.

     

    I'm a San Diegan, and I've never once heard somebody say that we need a fucking wall. 

     

  2. Sean Simpson, a teacher at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, has spoken in favor of gun control efforts and said he might be open to the idea of carrying a gun in class. Now, he's been arrested after leaving his Glock 9 mm pistol in a bathroom over the weekend.

    Simpson told the authorities that he'd forgotten the loaded weapon in a stall in the bathroom at the Deerfield Beach Pier. But before he could retrieve the pistol, the Sun-Sentinel reports, "a drunk homeless man found it and fired it, according to an arrest report from the Broward Sheriff's Office."

  3. about 25 years ago I played softball.  I was CF because I had serious wheels. 
    Anyway, the big fucking ox playing RF ignored my "I GOT IT" call when a fly was hit between us.  Motherfucker took me out and I broke some ribs in the collision.  

    Painful as fuck for weeks.

    I don't think the average person is going to be inclined to read the mandate with the bright light of "is it true his mandate is limited"?  I err on the side that says the language is clear, but I've certainly seen enough lawyer types say it's more subtle than that.  I don't really get how that could be, given the fact that the entire practice of law seems to be heavily wrapped up in the meaning of words, sentences, and phrases, but I have definitely run into plenty of circumstances where historical context colors interpretation.  

    Perhaps we could cut a well-intentioned poster some slack for not having been through the argument before.  Or maybe we should feed him his nuts and laugh.  <trump> Vote? </trump>

    How the fuck is it "clear" when it's been redacted?

    Ohtani, Ruth, and a guy named Ken Brett are the only players in MLB history to hit a homer in 3 straight games and have an outing with double digit strikeouts in the same season. 

     

    Second pitcher since 1971 to have a 12 strikeout game with one or fewer walks/hits in their first or second MLB start. 

     

    Leading MLB in hard hit ball percentage (71.4%). 

    Ken Brett also played for the Angels.   George Brett's brother.

    He's not wrong. Nixon's legacy is (rightly) irreversibly tainted by the Watergate scandal et al, but he did do some good things. And lmao @ comparing him to Hitler.

    that's the second time today I've seen  a form of "taint" used on this very board.  

    Taint.

    I have to tell you--I'm powerfully uncomfortable with raiding lawyers' offices.  I recognize that in a lot of circumstances, the lawyer isn't acting as a lawyer, and so the materials aren't privileged.  But an investigator needs to be real circumspect about that kind of thing.

    I'm not a lawyer, but I agree.  I would imagine that the investigators must have had something solid to go on to get a judge to sign that warrant. 

  8. I used to enjoy an occasional visit to an asian tug joint, until I became aware that there was a high probability that the ladies weren't there voluntarily. 

     Now, I only patronize caucasian free-agents.  

  9. Fair enough.  

    Most of my practical experience with architects comes from doing medical stuff.  OSHPD architects are very smart, and complete and total nerds for the most part.  Designers were invaluable to us when it came to making our places beautiful and patient-friendly, and the architects were the folks that kept us code-compliant and able to be accredited

    designers work a couple ways.  % of construction budget, hourly, or hourly with a mark up on furnishings you buy from them.  You need too be very clear about what you need from them to establish the best fee structure.  

    Working with an interior designer the you're  not moving walls is one thing. When walls start getting ripped out it's time to get an Architect to help with the space planning.

    Need an architect for sure, but why not an interior designer too?   No offense onboard, but there are very competent architects out there that aren't as strong on the ID side as a good designer, and in my experience, designers tend to have a better "bedside manner" and relate to the client a tad better. 

  11. Check out Harry Shearer's "Nixon's The One" on youtube.  It's awesome.   Shearer as Nixon using Nixon's own words as culled from the tapes.

    Not sure that this is good look for either one of these guys. Nothing really to gain for them. People who watch Hannity aren't usually watching Kimmel in the first place and vice versa.

    Hannity: Chill dude . It was a joke...

    Kimmel: Leave the First Lady and her brat alone. Traditionally they are off limits.

    I agree that the non-adult children should be permanently off limits unless they do something wrong enough to justify removing that protection and the First Lady should generally be left alone, but Hannity and for that matter anyone at Fox News is in no position to cast any stones after what they said about Michelle.

    I agree that they SHOULD be off limits.   But "traditionally" they are not.  Are you guys too young to remember that fat fuck Rush Limbaugh referring to 12 year old Chelsea Clinton as "The White House dog" on his TV show?
