    There is a great cafe' in Ardmore called "Il Riposo" that has the best suppli and olive ascolane this side of the Atlantic.  Ask the owner for his recommendations on wines from Le Marche.  You'll be amazed by their selection.  They have an amazing sparkling pecorino.  Also, excellent espresso.

    I saw a headline yesterday that oral arguments suggested they'd let the president end birthright citizenship. I'm struggling to see it, the usual two will of course allow it, but I gotta think at least two of Roberts, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, and Barrett would read the fucking document and say no.

    I didn't read a bunch about the arguments, but I heard Nina Totenberg's report on NPR yesterday, and from what she said and the excerpts from the justices they played, it felt like Barrett and Kavanaugh seemed really skeptical at Trump's position.  Even that fuckwad Alito had a comment on the nationwide injunction issue that seemed like he had trouble with the government's argument.

    I say that, and in a couple months I'm going to read a 6-3 opinion that will allow the Trump administration to immediately deport every U.S. born citizen who's parents were not born in America.

    Am I the only one who's finding it increasingly easier to get a hard-on for Amy Coney Barrett?

    Most of Surly is too old to be lifting super heavy. At least I am.

    Same here.  I'm 50 and for the past several years I've for the most part lifted every set in the 10-12 rep range, with only a couple compound exercises in the 8 rep range.  Between that and doing enough to engage my core, I've never felt the need for a belt.  

  6. I've had the misfortune of driving through Oklahoma twice in my life, in order to get to Kansas (which is also nothing to be proud of).  When passing the Ardmore area on I35, I recall momentarily forgetting that I was in such a shithole state, because that part of the state actually has some very pretty terrain.

    That's all I got.

    A mom is accused of buying ammunition and tactical gear for her son, who authorities say was planning ‘mass targeted violence’ at a Texas school

    Quote

    A Texas mother is accused of buying ammunition and tactical gear for her son, who investigators say was planning “mass targeted violence” at a San Antonio school, according to an arrest affidavit.

    Ashley Pardo, 33, was arrested Monday and charged with aiding in commission of terrorism. Authorities say she provided her son material support and resources with the knowledge they would be used to plan and carry out an attack. The alleged plot placed Jeremiah Rhodes Middle School “in further fear of serious bodily injury,” according to a Bexar County arrest affidavit obtained by CNN affiliate KSAT.

    Despite being contacted by local law enforcement, child protective services and school personnel - and knowing about her son’s desire to “commit acts of mass violence” - Pardo told the school she was not concerned about his behavior, the affidavit says. Authorities say she purchased tactical gear, ammunition and supplies for her son in exchange for babysitting his younger siblings. She “intentionally and knowingly aided” her son, the affidavit states.

    I gotta give it to him.  The man stays busy.  So much graft overseas.  So little time.

    Grift, graft, whatever it takes.

    Oklahoma to require high schoolers to learn about "discrepancies" in the 2020 election. Texas should follow suit here shortly, I'm sure.

    Surely the teachers can also talk about how every judge to review such "discrepancies," including Trump appointees, found the claims bullshit, right?
