  1. People who are either uneducated or ignorant of etymology might presume that to be racist, but "anglo" doesn't properly define a race. It defines an ethnic heritage. The word "sheriff" derives from the old English "shire" "reeve", which was the local law authority under the crown. That's most likely what Sessions was referring to when he said that.
  2. I can't believe that I fell for his "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor, period" promise.
  3. To be honest, I had no clue what you were saying. I still don't, but that's probably for the best.
  4. Speaking of people not knowing what they're talking about.....
  5. Congratulations....I didn't think it was possible to Godwin a thread about coins.
  6. You don't spend much time in the US, do you? Have you ever heard of Bernie Sanders? He's a senator. He's also an avowed socialist who caucuses with the Democrats. He was in the news a lot in 2016.
  7. You don't spend much time in the US, do you?
  8. Are you suggesting that Bernie will run in November?
  9. I'll bet that was most amusing indeed.
  10. Sound does not travel in space.
  11. Or possibly "City's On Flame".
  12. Mine are only for distance as well, but they gave me the choice between distance and close-range. They didn't use a laser on me though - it was the good old-fashioned scalpel for me. When they replaced the right lens, I saw brilliant patterns in red and orange during the procedure. When they replaced the left lens, I saw nothing but blurry blobs of white light. It was fascinating. The doctor said that I had the most aggressive type of cataracts (apparently there are three types) - it looked like I was seeing the world through a piece of wax paper and driving was all but impossible for a few weeks. Like I mentioned above, mine were just one week apart (January 30th and February 6th), but you father might have a different type than I did. I'm by no means an expert just because I went through it. He has absolutely nothing to be nervous about - the operation only takes around 7-8 minutes.
  13. You do realize that he'll just create a new user ID and continue with the same old crap, right?
  14. I just had both eyes done over the last week and a half. What a difference - I knew my vision had deteriorated, but wow.... There's a lot of odd effects that occur while the new lenses settle in and take over. Weird colors, odd reflections, etc. Has anyone else here gone through cataract surgery? I'd be interested to hear what others have experienced.
  15. That makes two of us.
  16. Cogito ergo non Gator. Everything you said makes perfect sense, and I agree with you 100%. All I meant to say was that your point was well stated and made perfect sense. Just the sort of thing that Gatorman would call obfuscation.
  17. This is what Gatorman calls obfuscating with facts and details.
  18. When I worked in restaurants I learned that placing the eggs in an ice bath immediately after boiling makes the shell come off very easily. It works like a charm, every time.
  19. CNN was founded in 1980, and Limbaugh didn't get a national syndication until 1988. Until then, his show was broadcast locally in the Sacramento market. Fox first aired in Autumn of 1996.
  20. Have you never attended a Memorial Day parade?
  21. As opposed to using three horses?
  22. I heard Paul saying so during a sound bite on the news while driving home the other day. Apparently his neighbor feels that the senator could do a better job of keeping his landscaping tidy. Of course, that could just be a pretext and the man loathes Paul for his politics. Nothing surprises me much anymore.
  23. Okay, that cleared up absolutely nothing.
