  1. No jury can deny this fact. If the machete slits, you must convict.
  2. Wife decides to do the laundry. This is something akin to the total solar eclipse we’re about to witness here in Texas. doesn’t separate colors. Free for all on hanger handedness. None of my shirts on hangers are buttoned and are falling off in my closet. I mean, pure chaos. A younger, stupider DNAguy would have said something. Made a comment. Nothing too demeaning. Something to bring her down to earth. Idk if it’s the impending 40th birthday but I just kept my mouth shut. Even when she was strolling around commenting on how I take twice as long with the laundry and she doesn’t know why. Being about 5 beers deep into the evening helps, but Christ almighty:
  3. So R Kelly meets Epstein meets Harvey Weinstein but cast with African Americans in music and movies?
  4. Am I just not cool like you guys? WTF did he do wrong / what has he been doing wrong for all these years? Lot's of innuendo here like we all know what y'all are talking about. Cliffnotes please.
  5. The Soviets withdrew from Afghanistan before Bush Sr became president. Now if you want to argue that he should have changed US policy when he became president then I take your point and it wasn’t as if he was coming off the street. He was VP. But one does have to consider that the more potentially fraught Cold War arena wad Europe. You had protests and elections in Poland. The Baltic states and East Germany were on edge. The was still the potential for somebody doing something dumb and the world would end. Taking your eyes off Afghanistan to focus on Europe was the right call. It’s only bc we lacked imagination in our intelligence service that 9/11 was able to be launched from Afghanistan.
  6. Uhhhh. What does the Taliban have to do with the collapse of the Soviet Union outside of maybe bringing it on? It’s not like they were a client state of the Soviets like the Warsaw pact. And not to get all Real Politik here but Kurdish / Shia fates in Iraq didn’t mean shit in relation to world order or global oil availability or price. The problems with the Taliban were a result of leaving Afghanistan to whither on the vine after they drove out the soviets AND then Bush 2 electric boogaloo’s quixotic venture into Iraq instead of finishing the job after 9/11. And Iraq is such a blunder in American foreign policy due to Bush 2 (again!) and not Bush 1. It’s weird twist of fate and just sad the GHWB had a dolt of a son who singlehandedly undid the New world order that his father (well maybe James Baker) worked hard establish.
  7. Name this duo. Only wrong answers. I'll start.... Crooks and Over-done
