I have my suspicions that there were black or white people involved in the story above, perhaps even both.

Re: Home for Random Thoughts
This morning on the radio I heard competing engineers. On the Philly NPR staton I heard an interview with an engineer from the local port authority. He said the bridges in Philly did not have a similar hazard because the river bottom was carefully shaped with rocks and other barriers to cause the sh...

Re: Home for Random Thoughts
I have driven that bridge, usually when I was coming or going to BWI airport. It looks big. But that 'boat' with pieces of the bridge wrapped around makes the bridge look tiny. Latest news item I have seen says the container ship issued a 'mayday' call before the crash. That reminds me how old I am....

Re: I don't care who you are, that's funny right there
'Always blame the white guy.' Maybe. There are more white than black guys in this country (using the general conversational definition for both in lower middle class mid-Western culture--the one I am most familiar with) But the strange thing is that in spite of the general numbers, there are more bl...

Re: Get ready for 721 Fifth Avenue to be renamed...
I have heard from some LIEBERAL sources that Trump is judgement proof in this particular case because he DID commit all that business fraud. He has essentially no property to be siezed. Everything is tied up in liens and loan collateral that has priority over this court judgement. Trump Tower? All h...

I thought it was well known that Scott Adams has very Trumpian leanings. He has written freely of them outside his comic strip.

BSG, thank you for the quote from Ms Christie (I have lost track. Should it be Dame Christie?) I have put on my wall above my desk, right against Leonard Cohen's last poem/lyric, 'Listen to the Hummingbird'

Our Dear Leader is involved in so much court stuff that I humbly cannot keep it all properly organized.

Re: There will be a bloodbath if Trump loses in November
After going thru this thread, I am reminded of GB Shaw's Major Barbara and his introduction for that play. There is always more to the story. My particular faith community removed 'Onward Christian Soldiers' from our hymnal in 1981, 'Battle Hymn of the Republic' in 1956. "Glory, glory, It's a helluv...

The other problem with DNA evidence is that it is still very technique dependent. It is very easy to contaminate the sample or miss identify the source. Good scientists are hard to find, and a lab tech who will set up the equipment right, exactly the same every time, is even harder to find. snailgate.

My own personal bias about the people of Georgia (and Mississippi and Alabama and Louisiana) included a zero expectation that they will be reasonable. Rational? Absolutely they can easily rationalize three things before breakfast.

How can it be a lie? The Gentle Lady is an Honorable Senator and a Republican. Honest Don has worked hard since 2016 to remove any taint of deception from the Grand Old Party. Any one who thinks such would lie is just un-American.
