  1. Three nuns get into the front seat of their station wagon. The first nun opens the glove compartment and says "look, Father's condoms". The second nun says "yes, I know, i poked holes in them with a needle". The third nun fainted.
  2. a decent rookie season, a substandard sophomore year and a very nice third year. he is under contract for this coming year and while it may ultimately cost more to do a deal next year, i would prefer to see him one more year before committing a boatload of money in his direction. with the possibility of signing him long term before the year is out if he is playing nicely.

  4. i can't vouch for the following but i did happen upon it this morning and followed a few of the links, just putting it out there for consumption purposes. use your own discernment and take from it what you will. the article in question is from June of '17. The World Bank’s “pandemic bonds” are designed so investors pay in the event of an outbreak ... The pandemic bonds work like this: Investors buy the bonds and receive regular coupons payments in return. If there is an outbreak of disease, the investors don’t get their initial money back. There are two varieties of debt, both scheduled to mature in July 2020. The first bond raised $225 million and features an interest rate of around 7%. Payout on the bond is suspended if there is an outbreak of new influenza viruses or coronaviridae (SARS, MERS). The second, riskier bond raised $95 million at an interest rate of more than 11%. This bond keeps investors’ money if there is an outbreak of Filovirus, Coronavirus, Lassa Fever, Rift Valley Fever, and/or Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever. The World Bank also issued $105 million in swap derivatives that work in a similar way. These bonds are similar to catastrophe bonds, a $90 billion market used by insurance companies to shift risks of hurricanes, earthquakes, and other natural disasters onto the financial markets. The World Bank’s bond sale was 200% oversubscribed, with investors eager to get their hands on the high-yield returns on offer. The majority of buyers were from Europe and included dedicated catastrophe-bond investors, pension funds, and asset managers. ...

  6. close but no. it is a war on the unborn that your side is embracing and the loss of their profiteering that emanates from that.

  10. Sanders Says He’ll Attract a Wave of New Voters. It Hasn’t Happened. CHARLESTON, S.C. — It is the most politically provocative part of Senator Bernie Sanders’s campaign pitch: that his progressive movement will bring millions of nonvoters into the November election, driving record turnout especially among disaffected working-class Americans and young people. And yet despite a virtual tie in Iowa, a narrow victory in New Hampshire and a big triumph in Nevada, the first three nominating contests reveal a fundamental challenge for Mr. Sanders’s political revolution: He may be winning, but not because of his longstanding pledge to expand the Democratic base. The results so far show that Mr. Sanders has prevailed by broadening his appeal among traditional Democratic voters, not by fundamentally transforming the electorate. In Iowa, for instance, turnout for the caucuses was lower than expected, up 3 percent compared with 2016, and the increase was concentrated in more well-educated areas where Mr. Sanders struggled, according to a New York Times analysis; in the Iowa precincts where Mr. Sanders won, turnout increased by only 1 percentage point. There was no sign of a Sanders voter surge in New Hampshire either, nor on Saturday in Nevada, where the nearly final results indicated that turnout would finish above 2016 but well short of 2008 levels, despite a decade of population growth and a new early voting option that attracted some 75,000 voters. The low numbers are all the more striking given the huge turnout in the 2018 midterm elections, which was the highest in a century. There was also no clear evidence across the early states of much greater participation by young people, a typically low-turnout group that makes up a core part of Mr. Sanders’s base and that he has long said he can motivate to get out to the polls. And Mr. Sanders has struggled to overcome his longstanding weakness in affluent, well-educated suburbs, where Democrats excelled in the midterm elections and where many traditionally Republican voters are skeptical about President Trump’s performance, meaning they could be up for grabs in November. ...

  13. why the need to have it behind closed doors? https://twitter.com/SaraCarterDC/status/1232111609973178369
  14. affect is what something will do. effect is what something has done. but yes, those two words are probably more misused than accept and except.
  15. https://twitter.com/Doranimated/status/1232305148556435457 was 'Pete' supposed to be, 'the next guy'?
  16. shhh.... nobody tell @Tiberius but one of his party's leaders is defecting. his control file must have been exposed. https://twitter.com/Doranimated/status/1232307215962341380
  17. it all began with: look at the imagery of the last image, does it remind anyone of anything? Sanders is the ultimate next guy who the globalists want to implement their 'agenda'. the problem is, they are not sure he is the right guy at the right time, he is too early. he was supposed to be the 'next guy', after the next guy that could bring us just down the road a little further in the plan unveiled under the obamanation. we just need to be pushed a bit further down the socialist road so that we will eagerly accept the full blown ideology when it is adopted. of course, it may be that Trump has so thwarted their plans that they are left with no other alternative than to try and force that change upon us in the current paradigm. damn the torpedoes and deal with the fallout after the fact may be the revised plan to put us back on their planned track. long ago they found that in order for them to implement their globalist desires, they understood that it is going to be much easier to reduce the US to third world status than it would be to raise third world countries to first world status and would take entirely too long to do, if it is even possible. Sanders is their wet dream, don't fall for their rhetoric.
  18. all i know is that if Bernie or anyone for that matter, is successful in implementing medicare for all, it had better mean, 'for all'. not like the obamacare exception for legislators who were allowed to obtain their own health insurance. if they truly believe medicare for all is the solution, then they should also have to abide by that solution. enough of this two tiered horseshit. they are not better than you nor i.

  20. it all comes down to, 'an eye for talent'. while GM's employ people that hopefully possess this ability, it is not exclusive to scouts only.
  21. accept and except are probably two of the most misused words in the English language.
