  1. Add in Pink Houses and you’ve got the trifecta of songs about America that don’t mean what conservatives think they mean.
  2. Whelp, DC is still here. TBH, city was dead as fuck. I live on the Wharf/DC Waterfront and I’ve never seen it so quiet all weekend. Other than few off duty troops killing time at bars and restaurants on Friday evening, most of the places were cutting wait staff due to slow traffic. Last weekend was Pride and it was packed: Dance party on the Pier, day drinking started promptly at 10 AM, Wharf was pumping late night. Saw the choppers fly over and it’s always cool to see a Chinook, but they scrapped the jet and warbird flights due to weather.
  3. I love the energy here and I’ll make sure on Monday to come and try to bail y’all out before the rendition hearing to El Salvador.
  4. I mean, room rates on Bonvoy in DC are pretty good, so….yeah. They were much more expensive last week for Pride.
  5. I'm going to be hunkered down in my Condo, hoping the city doesn't explode into violence. They are going to have the Mall on a level of lock down I've not ever really seen. It would be hard to protest, tbh, given the road closures and security fencing going up.
  6. Do I think California has outrageously high taxes, a homeless problem, and generally dysfunctional government? Yes. If I had the coin to move to a nice MCM house or garden apartment in Los Feliz, would I do it? In a motherfucking heartbeat. You wouldn't even get the offer all the way out of your mouth before I'd be trying to sign paper.
  7. I am a manlet, so…kinda.
  8. Where's Douglas MacArthur when you need him.
  9. In our family, when we book tickets, accounting for weather while flying through the South in the late spring is basically on par with dealing with Ohare in January.
  10. I will not accept this Vigo the Carpathian slander!
  11. It's so wild. Most of my friends at Bates were Jewish and it's where I learned alot about the nuance of the faith vs. the ethnicity and the complex story that is Isreal. (there is a photo among my friends of me in the back of a Saab on a road trip to Boston, baked out of my mind, with my buddy Adam that was know as "Stoned Goy and Bubbie's dissappointing Third Grandson" I never imagined that my wife and I now are constantly reaching out to our friends letting them know we are here as allies and safe spaces.
  12. If you are travelling and trying to watch what you eat and find yourself with very limited options, The two cheeseburger meal is perfect to split between two people with an extra drink. Put some fries on that bad boy and enjoy.
  13. They still have value for projecting power in 2nd and 3rd world countries, but a full blown war in Taiwan would likely see several carrier groups having an HMS Prince of Wales moment.
