I intentionally confined my comment to shootings. We have no idea how many have died in custody or in the course of arrest attempts.

By gunshot? So far as we know, just one. They've shot several more that didn't die

that's not completely fair - he does occasionally pay people, most often when he can do it with someone else's money

I have to confess I am curious to see how they turn a page and a half of exposition into a nine-hour trilogy

The answer is to get an old hound. They don't want to go on long walks, just sleep in the sun.

The Greenland thing is profoundly stupid. That said, if the Danes agreed to a price, and Congress appropriated the funds, would it be illegal? That's how we got half the territory of the US.

What isn't Trump's fault? I'm confused. The alleged bribe was paid in January of this year. Trump hired him anyway and then quashed the investigation. So any official action he has taken since then is arguably Trump's fault. Is there evidence he was on the take when he worked for Obama?

The beauty of running is that you just lace up your shoes and go.

Setting aside your take on Chicago pizza, how does someone walk into Ribs 'n' Bibs and order fried chicken when Harold's was right there? Never occurred to me to get anything but rib tips from R&B.

Enjoyed the article. But, let's make the game harder? No, thank you.

There are numerous models from around the world to look to for guidance and inspiration. We know it can be done because it has been done.

In the immortal words of HL Mencken, "democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and they deserve to get it, good and hard"

Well, yeah, but it doesn't explain why things are getting *worse*
Except, remember how some thought that the good economy during the "Biden" administration was because Trump was really the secret president? Maybe it's the same thing, but reversed!

Nice, but in the immortal words of the Dead Milkmen, "if you ain't got Mojo Nixon then your [playlist] needs some fixin'"

True. And so we don’t ask people who can’t astronaut to go to space. But a lot of people who can’t write are still required to do so on occasion.
