  1. And for all that, they lost their Empire entirely, their economy was devastated and they ultimately went from the world superpower to a second tier has been.
  2. It's exchanges like these that have the Judiciary giving a healthy side eye to DOJ attorneys. Which is a big deal in the legal field. The speed with which this admin has enshittened the DOJ and is running off anyone of quality who is working there, has been breathtaking. Just think about the thought process that had to happen there for this DOJ lawyer to say, in essence, "I can't take a position to support the Constitution that a first year law student would see as obvious because I fear personal retribution by my superiors." That is fucking insane.
  3. You know, putting the abject cruelty and stupidity of this aside, the logic of it is what kills me. No one coming to the US says to themselves, "Hey, I might wind up in Libya because of this." People willing to cross the Durian Gap or any of a series of hazards to get to the US are only thinking "Anything is better than where I am, and America is top on the list." Once again, those are the people we WANT here. They're going to succeed, even if their measure for success is just getting here and becoming a productive citizen. And here's the rub - so long as the US is the greatest economic engine in the world, that will continue to be true no matter how cruel these Nazis are to the immigrants they can catch. What they're really doing, is making sure that we are no longer the kind of economic engine that people aspire to emigrate to. Which is the greatest idiocy of all. Anyhoo, morning rant over. Back to my coffee while I can still afford it.
  4. You'd love this book. So many examples of death by misadventure. I love that coroners call it that because "death by your own stupidity" is just too undignified.
  5. Saw Jack White last night at Southside. He put on a great show. I think it was a 50 minute main set, then 5 minutes off stage and another half hour. High energy. Well worth the price of admission. There were a couple moments there where I was like "this must've been something like what Zep was like." The crowd was into it, and he was feeling it. Now it's on to Wilco tonight.
  6. At the very minimum we know he had a good time.
  7. No. Gibson had issues for a while, but Fender has been as good as they've ever been for years now.
  8. Given he's ineligible for governor again (right?), he's pretty much a political non-entity. He's never doing anything outside of FL.
  9. Which is why we'll ultimately wind up here:
  10. Improvise Adapt Overcome
  11. I’ve been missing these kinds of videos lately. Let’s hope they keep coming.
  12. https://www.militaryaviationmuseum.org/the-zero-flies/ First flight of an A6M3 (easily identified by the clipped wing tips - no other Zero had those) since the end of the war.
  13. Welcome to 2016.
  14. I guess this is the direction our "but he's directionally correct" friends were talking doubt. Just outright dumbassery.
  15. This guy is the biggest meat headed, mealy mouthed schlub I have ever seen in my life. He is that fat mushy, neanderthal browed kid in middle school who hung out with the bullies because he thought they liked him, when he didn't realize he was just their bi-pedal punching bag.
  16. The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner BY RANDALL JARRELL From my mother’s sleep I fell into the State, And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze. Six miles from earth, loosed from its dream of life, I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters. When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose. /oblig.
  17. Maybe that's what it takes to light a fire under peoples' asses. I'd love to see that argument before a jury: State: Teacher wasn't teaching about the stollen 2020 election! Teacher: I'm sorry, my schedule was already filled with state mandated Math, Science, Reading, History that actually happened... I'm taking Teacher's side of that argument every time.
