I like to play Bridge and Soccer, not usually at the same time.
How much did they pay in overtime over the last month?

Reports have it they spent a hundred million dollars last spring in overtime.

Surely now that there's a statutory mandate , they must have invested money to get this done over the last month.

Good luck dealing with a bear without a gun.

They are a necessary tool in places.

But Ann Althouse is unsure whether Trump is just engaging in sarcasm.

I play soccer in Edina several days a week, and a quarter to half the folks playing are Somali.

I'll be 69 next week, and If speedboats off the coast of Venezuela are a threat to the U.S., then what those kids do to me on the field is terrorism.

What can we infer about the beliefs of this group of Christians?

Obviously, neither of you understands that the two sailors were also members of the Venezuelan long distance swimming team.

Another J6 tourist who will be pardoned?

Two guys clinging to a blown up boat several hundred miles from the U.S. coast were STILL a threat to America?

Who knew those fuckers could swim like that?

Carney didn't say this. Let's not be like right wingers with this crap.

But someone pushed that button, and my reading of the news is that that someone is the leader of Seal Team 6.

It boggles to think that someone in that position wouldn't know the law of war that applies, but here we are.

Which is worse--recruiting a 15 year old into a death squad, or recruiting a 15 year for sex work?

This guy is effectively a veteran of the American military. He has almost certainly saved more American lives through his work with the CIA.

It's an unappreciated axiom of mathematics that straight lines are for people afraid of calculus:

I was watching Patel's eyes during the brief clip that I saw.

I can't imagine that she hasn't already lawyered up. But then again....

You mean, they were women?

There were a few months, recently, where a lot of people were afraid that we were in the process of losing our democracy.

The next guy might actually be competent.

Can Erickson really be that unaware of the dynamics he's been toying with for decades?

Perspicacity is not strong with a lot of them, is my sense.

Clinton got impeached for lying about a BJ from an adult.

I'm thinking having sex with minors might tip it from impeachment to removal.

JFC. He highlighted your privilege.

I've avoided morning drinking for decades, but why.
