  1. Just a quick report. Spent a long weekend in Chicago. (Met some law school buddies who I hadn't seen in over thirty years.) Stayed at a great AirBNB in the Lakeview area, just next to Wrigleyville and north of Lincoln Park. a) I'm not an MLB baseball guy at all, and usually want to leave by the fifth inning, but we sprung for great tickets for a Cubs game. FANTASTIC. We walked to the game and that park and just everyone walking to the game was such a great experience. Full house on Friday 1:30 game. Hot, but Illinois hot, so perfect. Did I say Wrigley is wonderful? b) Jumped in the water over at the Diversey Harbor sea wall. Perfectly cold. The talent at the se wall was pretty phenomenal despite it (or maybe because) it's near the gay area of town. Ah, to be young. c) Took a private "blackhawk boat tour" that went up the river and then hauled ass out on the lake. Lot of bouncing and probably fucked up my back but hey, life is short, it was fun. d) Got a three day CTA pass at Midway. I love the fucking train. Wasn't even too bad at rush hour when I arrived. Just lots of 20 year-old going to Lalapalooza. Really didn't sweat the restaurants. The only "sit down" we had was at Mia Francesca which was fine. The rest was just the next pub that caught our eye. Great walking town. (Was a bit surprised at how "white" the northside was. I've been hanging out in DC to visit my daughter and maybe because DC feels so much smaller, you get a big mix.) We were blessed with some slightly cooler than average. With Midway and O'Hare there, and both accessible by train, a no-brainer quick weekend.
  2. A circus tent of acceptance and compassion. If that turns them off, fuck them.
  3. I don't really care what you think a woman is. I am vaguely curious as to why someone thinks this is an issue that affects them (in a negative way) beyond certain sporting competitions that can be dealt with my local sports organizations or school districts. Or are we in the land of "if just one person might regret the medical decisions they made ten years ago, then no one has the right to make any medical decisions" Or is it just fear based stupidity that you think needs to be politically addressed, because "votes"? Are the Dems being stupid if they don't appeal to racists? Is there a line. I'm generally big tent. I just don't think racists and trans-fear mongers need to be let in or catered to.
  4. I think they are more hateful assholes than bigots.
  5. Search: CIA w/2 Chief w/2 : w/2 Jade w/2 Helm w/2 Was w/2 a w/2 Russian w/2 Plot
  6. The rebates were all part of the plan. Thank you, Mr. President!
  7. The evidence has to be in that "income inequality" isn't going to sway people who fear a brown non-Christian takeover of America. I think all the GOP has to make sure that voters aren't hungry. Kids, etc. Who cares? If the voters have fast food, then they won't care about income inequality.
  8. Some of you guys really believe that "I had to pardon some people to prevent another commie witch hunt" and "I never met this Maxwell woman" and "you want a pervert, it's Bill Clinton" wouldn't fly with MAGA and the GOP legislators?
  9. I'm feeling just the opposite. This is only going to be an exercise in seeing how anti-Trumpers' brains continue to explode because they still can't fathom that he not only will get away with everything -- he will continue to laugh at them while he gets away with everything. And he's not getting away with anything because we all knew he was a old freak nasty anyway.
  10. Well, that's no fun.
  11. From that article, netted out? Rural folk suck.
  12. Dems: Are you with us, Doctor (of Jurisprudence) Wu?
  13. They want to be accused of using white supremacist dog whistles. They LOVE being accused of using white supremacist dog whistles.
  14. I just want to know if it can sing "Daisy" as you deprogram it.
  15. Dude's Iranian. No way I'd trade being a fat chalupa for a fair skinned Iranian in this country.
  16. I am certainly in the majority of people when I say I wouldn't exit the car with a child in it under ANY circumstances. I'm not leaving the kid.
  17. And if you aren't okay with it and you voted for Trump, you are a stupid fucking asshole.
  18. My wife told me that every time I get back from lunch at an Indian buffet my car smells like Indira Gandhi's thong.
  19. Speaking of the Pakistani gays, this song kind of rocks in a B4GP4B kinda way.
