The country of No

Don't know if you saw this, Hank, but the UK Parliament literally cannot find a majority for anything. Just a colossal failure of leadership.

That's what the 80s were like. I've told this story before but it wound up being a tata comparing/sucking contest at the 2d floor of the Whiskey with Roxy winning. It was like her 2d week in LA from Denver and I have a specific recollection of Tommy and Mick running up there like the cat when you open a tuna can.

I thought the opener with Tommy eating the girl out in the middle of the party might've been an homage to Cocksucker Blues. There's a scene in that where someone is carrying a woman around a plane with his face between her legs. The squirting shot, however, reminds you -- these cats were a different level.

Why didn't I learn to play a guitar? Or take up acting?

That's the way you do it. You play the guitar on the MTV. Money for nothing and your chicks for free.

You bastard. Now that tune, their very worst, is in my head.

There’s a DS early 80s live (I think BBC) session on iMusic where Knopfler makes a damn good case for being included in Top 10-20 guitarists of all time. #recommended

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what to have for dinner.

“Mutton” takes the popular vote, but “grass” wins in the Electoral College. The wolves wish they hadn’t all moved into the same few trendy coastal cities.

The sheep votes for the Wolf Party, because he agrees with them on social issues.

I know you think this is clever but it illustrates why anyone not living in Tx/NY/CA who is against the electoral college is crazy.

Anyone who lives in a swing state should support the Electoral College, unless they have some commitment to democracy above and beyond their own immediate self-interest.

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what to have for dinner. FactCheck.org rates the Wolf Party’s claim that mutton can be made without harming sheep as “Mostly False”.

The two wolves vote to leave the zoo, but no specific proposal to do so can get more than one vote.

Yes, and I know people like you want to equate my self interest to racism, but there are people of color in my state, so no.
