Re: Shots Fired At Congressional Baseball Game Practice...

Democrats easily defeated Republicans 11-2 in the 2017 Congressional Baseball Game, in an annual tradition that has taken on renewed importance in the wake of Wednesday's shooting in Alexandria, Virginia. One day after a gunman opened fire at a Republican congressional baseball practice, shooting H...

Re: Otto's Woes

The only 'evidence' was in their statements. So an unfounded statement, made with no empirical proof of what is being stated, is now 'evidence'?  Unbelievable. http://media.cleveland.com/metro/photo/10722499-large.jpg I've always been willing to take what you post with a grain of salt, rubato, but ...

Re: This looks grim

So, were sprinklers and alarms mandatory in a renovation? Only in new construction? Not at all? Conflicting reports. Building conformed to "all required building regulations" , what does that mean?

Re: Shots Fired At Congressional Baseball Game Practice...

I have no doubt - and had no doubt then or earlier today - that the person who did the shooting knew perfectly well that it was a Republican game practice and was... er... hunting Republicans. He had no need to ask anyone. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/e2/1d/8d/e21d8d9c4855c795cd83559c8...

A monkey had to be tranquilized and removed from the primate exhibit after he became agitated and started throwing feces at the viewing public and zoo employees. None of the spectators were injured, but three members of the zoo staff were rushed to the hospital with turd debris burns. http://www.pic...

Re: It's Curtains For The Caped Crusader...

For West, being famous for wearing his underpants on the outside and for his joyous sense of kitsch did not translate into new job offers. One exception, incredibly, was an offer in 1970 to take over from Sean Connery as the new James Bond. But he turned down the role because he believed that the s...

Re: Its eventful, even without the GOP horrorshow in the WH

You would think Puerto Rico would have much more of a tourism trade than it seems to have. When someone talks of going to the carribean, PR is rarely mentioned. People want to go to someplace foreign, someplace different, someplace exotic.  Someplace like Bermuda, Jamaica, the Bahamas, or even Cuba...

Re: It's good for you

Marmite is made from the byproduct of beer production: brewer's yeast.  Essentially using a product that would otherwise be sent to a landfill, this makes Marmite an environmentally responsible product. So if I drink more beer, they use more brewer's yeast, and can make more Marmite/Vegemite? When ...

What if they should gain statehood and the then later decide they want independence; what do we do then, sent troops to kill Puerto Ricans?
