We may need a FAQ page here. I would've sworn that "really bad joke" was a version of whiff, but you're saying it's not.

That would make the exception swallow the rule.

I'm happy but then my practice relies upon a strong Federal gov.

A lot of this has to do with whether your state legislature is more dysfunctional/evil than Congress. I don’t like Congress AT ALL and I’m pretty fucking sick of the Ninth Circuit, who superficially look to liberals like Promethian heroes but actually do a lot of fucked up stuff if you pay close attention, but I would not want my rights protected solely by the state judicial system. I’m mad at them maybe 25% of the time, but federal district court judges are the only thing keeping the California legislature from doing some crazy-ass things. Thank God for Article III.

3 things

1. When you haven't done a distance run for a while, don't try one at five thousand feet.

2. Del Taco blows away everything on the East Coast.

3. Why, when I tell the hotel maid I don't want my room made up, do I think they are picturing the inside of my room looks like this:

Have to love all those Tea-Party luvin' red Americuhn states who want to secede. I'm sure they believe continued federal largesse as a God-given right that wouldn't change after secession.

The idea of you watching this show is making my head hurt.

Sorry. Don’t know what came over me. Regrettable self-indulgence.

Hi! LTNS! There has been some new rules as to time travel, so that's frustrated my being here. As to your question: Hank is an A-lister and they get to do pretty much what they want, but, as a former mod, I will say that Hank's post may have been political but in a general interest way that makes it's most appropriate for here.
