  1. I have a solution to the fuck, marry, kill. Let Gary Ridgeway decide.
  2. The judge just stated he expects closing arguments next Tuesday. I presume that means the defense will have some witnesses between now and then.
  3. I'm more optimistic, lets hope for under 5 months.
  4. In the event you have found yourself complaining about tipping culture, perhaps ratchet that down a bit. This guy had to tip his own executioners. Often times it's easy to forget how fortunate we are, reading something like this is a good reminder, and I am grateful.
  5. They will probably get a new President? I'm sure this guy will have a snazzy nickname as well, like the Bazaar Basher, or the Shahed Slicer. It's gonna be swell.
  6. To be honest, I'm surprised it took that long. Granted, I have no idea as to what as happened, but I'm shocked the Israeli's didn't get the blame almost immediately.
  7. I suppose there are two bigger questions: 1. Do you play Learning to Fly by Tom Petty or Pink Floyd at the memorial? 2. Do you get a discount for cremation services in a situation like this? Just because the are bereaved doesn't make them fucking saps.
  8. A "hard landing" in conditions too foggy to reach sounds a whole lot like crashed into a mountain.
  9. A bit obscure, but Mark Wells, a 4th line center for the 1980 Miracle on Ice team, dead at 67. To my knowledge this is the first team member gone.
  10. I forgot about another odd role he had in a weird movie I like, but he played the sleazy boss in Clifford. He had a minor role, but was great at it, pony tail and all.
  11. By no means the greatest film ever made, every time I've ever seen it Short Time made me laugh. A bit obscure, but a fun one.
  12. Dabney Coleman dead at 92. Always found his stuff funny.
  13. @Js1 We were going to just vote on Tuesday, but after you brought it up earlier I brought it up and we decided to just go ahead and early vote today. We live in a heavily leaning Republican area, but I would say it was 50/50 among people there that were young women, us, and the elderly. That bodes well Barrow, the only Justice head up vote. He's up against Pinson, and Kemp appointee. Again, I wouldn't expect a huge turnout here, but pulling the upset would be great and if any of Atlanta shows we've got a shot. Currently the GA Supreme Court is entirely Republican (4), so getting one won't immediately change everything, but getting one starts an in road. Fingers crossed. I however would not expect this to be a bellwether for the state in either direction.
  14. So today is the last day of early voting, and Tuesday is actually the election. We can expect a low turnout period, so I wouldn't say it's going to be a great barometer. Only one of the justice spots is unopposed, and thus far the only spending I've seen has been Republican. I hoping that's telling, because the only spending in a race like this is generally done by the ones concerned. To date, with early voting and mail in, there have been about 500k vote.
  15. He's worked there for thirty years, thirty years, and they give him a watch, kick him in the butt and say, "a computer took your place, daddy." That's hard times!
  16. I can't recall exactly how old I was, but I was young 6 or 7, and we went on a field trip to the Carter Library in Atlanta. By pure luck, Jimmy happened to be there and my class all got to meet him. At that age, at least I was unaware of how big a deal it is to say you met a POTUS, and little did I realize it would likely be the only time that ever happens. All I recall was that he was very nice and shook everyone's hand. I admire him greatly as a person, and the world is worse for him not having the ability to continue his work the last few years. My wife and I will try to attend any memorial here in Atlanta to pay our respects.
  17. 4 minutes into Trump being in court, CNN is reporting that Trump is already asleep.
  18. While that is true, it leaves out a couple of caveats. It presumes that the competition is playing fairly (China isn't). Perhaps more important than that, it also ignores the part where you are financing at best a non friendly economic rival and at worst a flat out enemy. China is somewhere in between both of those.
  19. The fact that you can point to Romney as being the "good guy" is pretty telling about the modern Republican Party.
  20. I think you are off base. It has to be more disconnected than that. He will tie it not just him being strong, but also to our policies on windmills and keeping court rooms cold.
  21. That's in poor taste "Dart's of Pleasure " was a better choice
