I prefer the simple "Good on you, Jim."

Unless you know something i don't they still/will control Congress, so Don fucking Corleone wouldn't be able to get a bill passed. In a sense being a dem President has to be a little bit like living in Hell with that lot.

I saw Icky Thump drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's.
 

Ahhhh-OOOOOOOOO!!!!!

If Trump really screws things up, the Congress is in play. Crossing my fingers...

Re: I used to be disgusted, and now I try to be amused.
 

Most likely, you are right. The Dems have a +15 pickup, and Ryan, who can't do squat with a +30 margin, is left with two years of total paralysis in his house.

But, if you follow places like Cook, enough seats are in play so if the Dems ran the table, taking all the toss-ups and R leaners, they'd squeak into taking the house. That is unlikely to happen unless this turns into a wave election. It would be amazing to get a wave after holding the white house for 8 years. But it could happen.

I don't object to online (or any other type) of home schooling, except when it is used to keep evil influences like people of differing opinions or skin color. I'm sure it can be a fantastic supplement to a school that at be struggling in certain areas.

I don't think it's used to supplement public classroom education in Georgia. At least not for most of the people I've met here who use it.

Thanks, I just had a chance to listen. Tell Graham I am a fan, although if I were asked to describe the Ghetto Funk sub-genre based on his mix, I would have a hard time capturing it (other than "eclectic"). Today's Daily Dose is "Fatcakes" by Jimmy McGriff:

We been schoolin' Homie Hank here for years, but it ain't done shit.

Anthony works in the grocery store ....
 

.... at least he will be if he applies using a different name.

The soon to be former Mr. Huma Abedin is proof that a seemingly smart guy can be pretty fucking stupid. His marriage is over and may not see his kid again any time soon, thanks to the Post.

Poor Huma -- and that poor kid. I sincerely hope she changes his name - going to middle school with the last name of "Weiner" would have been bad enough three Twitter scandals ago, but this is just ridiculous.

Got to give myself a little talking to this time.
 

Although I don't *need* another expensive liquor habit, your life advice has never led me wrong, so Macallan 18 it is. (I drink higher-end Irish neat, so I don't think that I will be offending anyone by putting ice in it.)

Sadly, that was unintentional fucking with. I knew that Dr. John had a hit in the 1970s, and I got my doctors mixed up. That kind of thing happens to me - I frequently mix up Donovan and Nilsson (single-named sorta quirky solo artists of the 60s/70s), the Black Crows and the Counting Crows (uh, crows), and Duke Ellington and Count Basie (titles of nobility).

Forgive me. Although I do quite like the Dr. Hook line I quoted.

Often wrong, but never in doubt.
 

Interesting interactive from the NYT -- At Least 110 Republican Leaders Won't Vote for Trump.

I have to admit, I am surprised how early (February!) some of the neo-cons spoke out against him, and how they didn't recant their apostasy even when Jeb!, Cruz, and Rubio fell by the way-side.

Re: Got to give myself a little talking to this time.
 

NotBob, that is just plain ridiculous. Not as ridiculous as when you swore that Captain and Tennille was the original riot grrrl band or that Creed "had a lot of elements of punk rock, both in its subversive arrangements and its subtly nihilist lyrics." But plain ridiculous it is. I sentence you to listen to Dr. John's Gris Gris by yourself at midnight in a room lit only by candles. You are welcome in advance.

Re: Got to give myself a little talking to this time.
 

I had some Teelings in Dublin, which I quite enjoyed, and I've started to see it over here. Unfortunately I'm not sure which one it was.

Re: Not Bob Wishes He Was Someone Just a Little More Funky...
 

That statement may be the one thing that could bring about a Slave/Paigow reunion tour...

Re: Anthony works in the grocery store ....
 

One of the best comments I've seen on this so far is that Anthony Weiner's continued existence is proof the Clinton don't have people killed.

I can just see the headline writers at the NY Tabloids knocking off early and going home for the rest of the week. These headlines will write themselves.
