Went to listen to Leach talk last spring in OKC. I took my copy of Swing Your Sword and asked him to sign it in the same way. He told me he ordinarily would, but on advice of his legal counsel he could not do it any longer. He did go ahead and say Fuck Craig James to me, however.

Yeah, I simply don't believe that unless I see some tax returns.
I'd give a month of my salary to a reporter who actually asks him: "Who do you donate it to? Do you have any proof? When I donate to a charity, I get a thank you letter which is also a tax document. When can we expect you to show us the thank you letters?"
"The letters can't be released, because they are under audit".

So aggy gets to deal now with Kiffin and Leach. Delicious. There might be years where Arkansas is their only SEC West win.
And Bama.
And LSU.
And Auburn.
Not suggesting for a moment that the two Mississippi schools are a threat anytime soon, but they will get better.

They'll release these after the election just like trump released his tax returns after 2016.
Assuming there's a D president in 2021 (or 25) you can bet your ass that nuggets of info such as secret service spending during the Trump years will be leaked out, among other things.

So do we have hypersonic missiles or no? I have a screenplay to write with Michael Bay either way.
Beats me, but been there, done that with the US military-industrial complex. Turns out, it was a bad idea at the time:

https://www.merkle.com/pluto/pluto.html
QuoteNow, I’m not saying the scientists who came up with Project Pluto were mad scientists, but there was a pretty high degree of mad science going on in this thing. In some ways, it was the perfect embodiment of Cold War era thinking taken to its utmost extreme. Project Pluto, also known as “the Flying Crowbar,” would have been an incredibly potent weapon. Potent, and also cruel, terrifying, and ultimately uncontrollable.
QuoteAt its core, Project Pluto was just a cruise missile. Well, not “just” a cruise missile. It was a cruise missile designed around a nuclear ramjet engine, and the acronym for it should give another big clue about the pants-filling nature of it: SLAM, for Supersonic Low Altitude Missile. That means that this giant, nuclear-powered beast would be screaming around at oh, treetop level or so.
The nuclear ramjet engine at the heart of Project Pluto is key to what made this weapon so horrific. A ramjet is a very simple engine design, with essentially no moving parts. Once the missile was launched with conventional rocket boosters, the air velocity going into the ramjet’s intake would be fast enough to let the engine function, and an essentially unshielded nuclear reactor would heat the air as it entered, where it would expand and be expelled out of the engine’s nozzle, providing both lots of thrust and plenty of radioactive material.
QuoteThanks to the nuclear reactor, the missile could stay aloft almost indefinitely. That means after flying across the Earth to its targets in the Soviet Union, where it would dump its payload of 16+ hydrogen bombs, the missile itself was still good to keep flying. Which allowed for all kinds of extra terror-fun:
Quote...a locomotive-size missile that would travel at near-treetop level at three times the speed of sound, tossing out hydrogen bombs as it roared overhead. Pluto’s designers calculated that its shock wave alone might kill people on the ground. Then there was the problem of fallout. In addition to gamma and neutron radiation from the unshielded reactor, Pluto’s nuclear ramjet would spew fission fragments out in its exhaust as it flew by. (One enterprising weaponeer had a plan to turn an obvious peace-time liability into a wartime asset: he suggested flying the radioactive rocket back and forth over the Soviet Union after it had dropped its bombs.)

Going after his wife now. A strong (or desperate) move. Also, the wife is an American citizen....and the US can extradite her back to Japan.
QuoteJapanese prosecutors on Tuesday issued an arrest warrant for Carlos Ghosn’s wife for alleged perjury, as officials stepped up efforts to bring the fugitive car industry boss back to face trial on financial misconduct charges.
QuoteThe former Nissan Motor, and Renault chairman fled to Lebanon last month from Japan, where he has alleged there was a government-backed coup to oust him.
A senior Japanese Ministry of Justice official said staff were poring over Lebanese laws to find a way to bring back Ghosn and that Japan “will do whatever it can” to put him on trial.
QuoteIn Beirut, the justice minister confirmed that prosecutors had received a “red notice” arrest warrant from Interpol in respect of Ghosn and would take the necessary action.
The ministry said nothing had been received from Japanese prosecutors relating to an arrest warrant for his wife, Carole, who is in the Lebanese capital.
The Japanese warrant accuses her of falsely claiming not to know, or to have met, people connected to a company that received payments from Nissan Motor, part of which it subsequently transferred to a firm owned by Ghosn.

Wars are always pay for themselves, unlike universal healthcare which is way too expensive to implement.
Well, healthcare is a socialist/communist idea, whilst tanks and guns and planes and ships are fucking awesome and we don't just have those around not to use them, right?

But first, the Iranians and Iraqis are going to pay for an Iranian conflict.

Gee, imagine having to try to clean up your bosses stupid impulsive decisions day in and day out. On second thought, fuck them. They chose the bed they want to sleep in.
QuoteThe Trump administration tried, unsuccessfully, to persuade top Iraqi officials to kill a parliamentary effort to force the U.S. military out of Iraq, according to two U.S. officials and an Iraqi government official familiar with the situation.
Why it matters: The Iraqi parliament passed a resolution today calling on the Iraqi government to expel U.S. troops from Iraq, after the U.S killed Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani and a leader of an Iraqi militia with a drone strike near Baghdad airport.
Quote"I think it would be inconvenient for us, but it would be catastrophic for Iraq," said a U.S. official familiar with the Trump administration's effort to block the vote. "It's our concern that Iraq would take a short-term decision that would have catastrophic long-term implications for the country and its security."
"But it's also, what would happen to them financially," the official added, "if they allowed Iran to take advantage of their economy to such an extent that they would fall under the sanctions that are on Iran?” (Countries can be subject to the sanctions if they engage in certain kinds of trade with Iran.)
“We don't want to see that. We're trying very hard to work to have that not happen," the official said.

I was looking for points. But yes, I will do it anyway.
Oh, I understand.
I've had both extremes in my life. My ex; she would literally stand over me while I did the most simple crap and constantly ask/critique/make commentary. Wife #2 couldn't care less; if something needs done, she just wants it taken care of. I can give her the play by play, but she just wants results.

However, I guess the way her license plate on the front is laid out, the carpet strips grab it on both sides and almost square it off. So she orders a new plate, one of those black plates with the texas star to the left.
I tell her this morning "when it comes in I will take off the license plate holder, add some small black carriage bolts on each side to keep it from peeling back".
Answer: No I dont want a bunch of holes drilled in my new car"
After explaining it was just in to the license plate holder, that I would literally remove and then install the bolts, she said she would take her chances.
Disclaimer: I am very mechanically inclined and fix just about everything around this house.This is Exhibit A of when you just fix something without explaining step by step what you are doing to the spouse, and she would never notice the difference.

With that said, if a certain Iranian Surly poster who has been a cheerleader for ICE gets rounded up, well that would be fucking hilarious.
It would be like Tom Parsons from 1984 who was a diehard party loyalist remaining faithful to Big Brother as he is hauled off to a forced labor camp.
