  1. You contradicted yourself in two sentences. Any well-crafted prophecy allows for any result to prove the soothsayer prescient. The Boomers did bring dramatic change with their maturity. Lasting and terrible. Look on what they hath wrought and despair.
  2. I’m glad they are. Even if it’s for stupid reasons, fewer people need to be taking that drug.
  3. You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope some day you'll join us And the world will be as one
  4. I would posit that the qualities of a supernatural being’s creations are reflections of that being’s essence. OU exists therefore God sucks.
  5. This should be on your challenge coin.
  6. Physician, heal thyself.
  7. He asks questions like aggy thinks a smart person would.
  8. Are we still on this? I thought we settled all this in '03 or '04.

    Iran

    Miller did a bang up job with the first travel ban. I'm sure this will work out fine.
  10. When the Cubs won the World Series, we entered the darkest timeline.
  11. To make money for Breitbart? Sure it is. Same shit as FNC. They know their market.
  12. They're no differently situated than any citizen that gets paid cash.
  13. We're in the golden age of TV. Ain't nobody got time for that shit. I'm going with 2020, polonium poisoning. Chaos is a ladder.
  14. You didn't need to confirm that you had said interest, but thanks.
  15. They know. They don't care. Evangelicalism has been politically weaponized, and it is impervious to logic, decency and convention. God's will must be done. If their god actually cared for people, it wouldn't be such a problem. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled only required a steady diet of donuts.
  16. Based on some article in a magazine, my mom banned The Simpsons in our household and gave The Cosby Show her glowing approval. I view that as a win-win, though. I now have a nuclear trump card for any moralizing commentsshe makes in any setting, and I get to see many episodes of The Simpsons during its prime as if they’re new today.
  17. That’s a silly attitude. Alabama is on the way to many worthwhile destinations.
  18. We've answered the age old question, "how bad can it be?"
  19. I say confirm the guy. If not, Trump will undoubtedly find someone worse because libtears.
  20. Bats are heating up. Time to run this guy.
  21. This shit was unfair to Hillary then, and unfair to Melania now.
  22. Rule of Law, Transparency, National Security, pick any two.
  23. Whether something is a "public service" is subjective, so it would be extremely difficult to have a government that has any secret information at all, and allow for the kind of thing you're advocating. Your point about different rules is correct, but it misses where the real problem lies. There's an entire branch of government that should be quite a bit more suspicious of our national security apparatus. Sadly, they've completely abrogated their role.
  24. Ellsberg expected life in prison. He didn't go because Nixon's boys fucked up the case by breaking into his shrink's office, illegally wiretapped his phone, and arguably tried to bribe the judge with the directorship of the FBI.
