  1. There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance—that principle is contempt prior to investigation. —Herbert Spencer

    So Jefferson’s two aides who pleading guilty to conspiracy and moving some cash around get 8 and 7yrs respectively.  Its a shame they hadn’t lived an otherwise blameless life like Manafort.

    I dunno, you can't speak in generalities.  One of them was reduced by Ellis to 3 years.

    Throw in having to pay for his health insurance by working a federal minimum wage job, I'd be fine with this, but until this actually becomes the new norm, Manafort should be living the rest of his life in jail.

    He wouldn't have to pay.

  4. Well, I think "the times" are a big part of the problem.  Someone has to be better than that.

    Both sides ignored, benignly or malignantly, the rubes.  Just by acknowledging their presence and lying his ass off to them. Trump captured a big vote and created a monster.

    You don't really have to educate them, just acknowledge them and they may be yours forever.  You never know when common courtesy, even insincere as hell, is going to help you out, or the lack of it fry your ass.

    Herd's and Burger Bar are 1a and 1b for me, you can't go wrong with either one. Seems as though the secret is to have a 70+ year old griddle that just gets wiped down but never washed. They develop a season on them that is just magical. Reminds me of those restaurants in China where they haven't dumped their sauce or stock out in something like 200 years, they just keep adding to it everyday.

    Don't forget the poop oil, that shit's magic.

  6. I'm also a bit troubled by things like not shaking DeVos' hand (Al Franken did), and refusing to say that Pence is a decent man (Biden did).  I don't care how contemptible you believe them to be, or how right you are about it, that's just not how you play politics successfully I don't believe.

  7. No one argued that trafficking wasn't bad or that there isn't frequently a connection between rub n tugs and sex trafficking.  But this bust had as much to do with sex trafficking as a quarter-ounce pot bust has to do with the drug war.  Fuck tha police.
