Re: Holiday weekend -- mattresses are on sale!
Meade--as I recall, when I was in grammar school November 11 was always called Armistice Day, celebrating the end or WW1 (the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month...); I am not certain when it became Veterans Day, but in the early 70s Veterans Day became the last Monday in October...

Re: Holiday weekend -- mattresses are on sale!
BSG--I think the reason for that is that moist families are no longer in the area where they grew up--children move away and follow jobs and other opportunities. Add that to the fact that many cemeteries is cities are not in the best areas (I know the area where our grandparents are buried in Brookl...

Re: 'Justice' Alito's wife did it
Sue--of course, even with 13 members we could have Trump appointing another 4 justices next year.

Re: So does that mean he is dead?
I would like to think the FBI could hit as big a target as Trump--they took out John Lennon, didn't they, and he was a lot thinner.

Re: So does that mean he is dead?
If I recall, the FBI previously testified that it went there on a day they knew Trump would not be there, and gave the Secret Service advance notice. So it's more like "they almost killed me if they went there a few days earlier". It reminds me of a kid sitcom (Leave it to Beaver, I think) where a k...

Re: And now ICC warrants are sought
Lib--
Where did I say they were? But they are both morally reprehensible. And FWIW, the nazis were bad too--so? In your mind, does the behavior of Hamas excuse the behavior of the nazis?Big RR, may I politely say bullshit; they are not equivalent

And now ICC warrants are sought
So the ICC prosecutor has sought warrants against Israeli and Hamas leaders from "crimes against humanity/war crimes" related to the G current Gaza situation, and immediately we get the Israeli response that the two events are not equivalent, and that the warrants imply that they are. But so what, i...

Or just playing dumb, like some people did on the old Jay-walking on the tonight show (you don't get on TV if you answer the question correctly).
But in either case, she was doing it quite well; I was pretty convinced she was that stupid. I honestly hope I was fooled.

Re: All the men getting angry at women for choosing the bear...
Perhaps, but then I would guess it would depend on the breed of bear--polar bears and grizzlies and brown bears are much more likely to attack than black bears, and I would question that, even if bears were more likely to kill men than women, I would question whether this is die to bears coming into...

True, but a bear may well attack or kill that same woman for intruding on "his" domain.

Re: Guess who is looking to be Trump's VP
Reminiscent of Rudolph Hess in his latter years in Spandau Prison. Or Pablo Escobar (but he called the shots more). But even if he were incarcerated in a special facility (and I seriously doubt he'd be incarcerated at all) I don't think he'd count it as a win. He couldn't spout off to the press day...

Re: Guess who is looking to be Trump's VP
I would love to see how Romney reasons the NY prosecution is a win-win for Trump. IMHO, just getting him to sit there and be quiet is a win for us all.

Re: Guess who is looking to be Trump's VP
Personally, I think Romney is like a lot of politicians, republican, democrat, or other who are concerned that if Trump can be prosecuted, so can they. They don't have to be very corrupt, but I would bet many, if not most, politicians have made some concessions that could put them at risk, and it sc...

Re: Guess who is looking to be Trump's VP
Nah--I think he's just positioning himself for the nomination if Trump cannot accept it (for whatever reason--maybe a bullet, maybe a health crisis, the possibilities are boundless). I seriously doubt any person with an IQ over 80 would want to be Trump's VP.

Re: SETI
Duck and cover was also proof that we were aware enough to understand what we brought about, but not enough to do anything about it other than pass it on to our kids as "business as usual". When I was in primary school, I was almost certain that we would have a major nuclear war before I was 21, and...

Re: God & Country
Meade--Last I checked, Christmas is a federal holiday, but your point is well taken. Then again, I think it's all part of the same plan, or at least the way it is marketed--the mythical "war" on Christmas or christianity is used as a rallying cry to get the masses to line up behind a lot of the idio...
