  1. I don't get the timing, either. I've also read that over the winter, there were a couple of by-elections where Israel somehow became the focal point, and they resulted in a third party winning the seat. Maybe the thought is to use that result and somehow end up with a hung Parliament with them as the largest bloc, and form a coalition government from there. But if that was the thought, why didn't he call the election then? On an aside, I feel that there is more knowledge of the Westminster style of Parliament in this thread than in much of the US combined.
  2. Folks, we all know what Donald Trump thinks of dogs. The only thing this did was ensure that she's the VP pick. In the modern Republican Party, cruelty is an asset.
  3. What the briefing should say is that the freshwater condenser on Midway Island is out of commission.
  4. The reason why the people around him have tears in their eyes is because he smells like he got run over by a herd of sheep with diarrhea.
  5. Because they're the only place in the Americas that could host the Winter Olympics tomorrow, and the IOC is quickly running out of places to put them. The IOC wanted them for 2030, but hard on the heels of LA 2028 was a no-go for Salt Lake.
  6. You just described Benjamin Netanyahu.
  7. Channel 5, the newsroom that commissioned this poll, is the worst local news in the Twin Cities, and has been for some time. Trump winning U34s 54-29? I want a dose of whatever drugs this pollster is smoking. The MNGOP, or rather what's left of it, was crowing about this. All you need to know about them is that their main financier during the 2010s is currently serving 21 years in the federal joint for sex trafficking.
  8. Sale of the Timberwolves falls through. ARod and Marc Lore don't have the money and can't come up with it. This is going to leave ARod/Lore with something like 40% of the team.
  9. The last time Wisconsin elected a Legislature under fair maps was either 2008 or 2010. One big reason why the SCOWI went Democrat last year is because all the students that were in elementary school during the open teacher rebellion of 2011 watched their teachers get boatraced in the years since.
  10. Play La Marseillaise. PLAY IT! (gets nod from Bogey)
