Wasn't clear on my statement about "cooler heads" apparently. Meant that before they try to implement the policy would hope that they realize these schemes never work out for anybody except, arguably, the few oligarchs that end up with the spoils. It's arguably that even they end up ahead in the grand scheme because they invariably don't know how to maintain the productivity of what they just stole. If this goes through expect starving people w/in a decade.

What could possibly go wrong? The forced evictions of landowners have been remarkably successful at raising the general population's welfare in the past century or so. /sarcasm Hopefully, when they get to thinking through how to do this "without disrupting agricultural production" cooler heads prevail. But wouldn't want to have any money on it.

No, no, no. The difference is ... Well, you see, they take ... SHUT UP!!!!!!

Always wondered how Paul Krapence knew those lyrics on Cheers. Now we know.

RIP Lane's dad. Guess the paperboy will never get his $2 now.

Really hoping you are right about Mueller's investigation. If you aren't, we are on the verge of civil unrest not seen since the '60's. (Hopefully just the 1960's, butit might be more 1860's-ish.) We probably still arein for some serious tumult evenif you are right. But if someone people have been certain dislikes Trump shows that there were some serious bad actors aligned against him & our political system, maybe they'll come around. Fully expecting the IG report to be 90% in line with what you've been anticipating the last 14-18 months. And if it turns out that 45's also dirty. So be it. Drain the entire swamp. Not expecting it in his political dealings because we still haven't seen anything from the leak factoryin over 1 year that is substantiated in a non-circular reference sort of way. But if it's there, drain away.

The tide really is turning.

One other thing the New Yorker article does try is to exonerate 44 for not making the Russian "hacking" public. It's now McConnell's fault.

Good catch on the bolded. Had thought the point of the piece (besides telling the world how apolitical Steele is while highlighting his potical instincts :wacko:) was to hit people over the head with the FACT that 44 & Biden (& even Hillary roundaboutly) knew ABSOLUTELY nothing about the dossier until January '17. Sure they didn't.

Lincoln was President for life. So, the Republicans have a history with this proposition. IMPEACH!!!!!!!

Thanks for the info.

Missed it by THAT much. And you started so well, too.

Yep. Isaac on Sports Night was a very solid character. It was a very good show & probably had scripts twice as long as the typical ones filling 30 minute time slots. Darn shame it was canned so quickly.

They probably could've even lost Norm if they picked the right replacement, but they'd've had to nail the replacement. Woody replacing Coach was inspired casting. Losing him would've killed lesser shows. IMHO, the show was even better.

Well it did have Robert Guillaume (Benson) in it, though he was only in a supporting role. But, yeah it was a pretty unknown cast. Personally, I typically prefer shows that do that - spend their money on the writing and get talented unknowns for the cast. (Kind of like the way Cheers did.)

Apparently.

Started watching it late in the 2nd season. Really unhappy when they killed it off. Got the full series on a 3 CD set and watch it every couple of years.

Another excellent call.

The ratings that summer for the 2nd run of Season 4 were huge & CBS considered bringing it back but Howard Hessman had already signed on for his series (Head of the Class, maybe?) and a couple of other regulars also had committed to other projects. Such a shame - IMHO was the best TV show ever. A couple other nominees that haven't been mentioned yet. Soap - only 3 seasons long. And Taxi - only 5 seasons but the 5th was on NBC after ABC punted it.

So, you're guess is that he was gather ingintel on someone other than Trump but that person/people could or could not be related to Trump. Guess that's fair enough.

Was he sent into the "wild" to record Trump, someone on Trump's team, or someone else unrelated to Trump?

Who?

Most likely because those will be relatively easy to reauthorize and the others would be much harder to reauthorize. Just spitballin'.

Fair enough. Will be sending you a PM later tonight.
