He would have been 75 years old today. He enjoyed being an April Fool. Snailgate

did today's date have anything to do with this thread? Snailgate

No, lack of evidence on the part of the prosecution is a defense. Personally, I think she was probably voting Republican. There have been 'many, many' instances of established voter fraud, nearly all of them by Republicans.

I like the Marriott hotel in DC that may not actually be in DC. It is located near the Pentagon and Arlington Cemetary. Actually used for overflow meetings at the Pentagon. It has direct access to a metro stop under the hotel. with an underground shopping center Crystal City metro stop

Sue you I resent that. I live in a 3-story apt bldg. Last fall the landlord replaced the roof. I am pretty sure the job was done by illegal aliens. I have worked on a roofing crew in Nebraska. I know what the job is like. This outfit most assuredly did not follow the OSHA rules. I could hear them ta...

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

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...

I have frequently heard that his favorite club is a #10 Florsheim.

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....

'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...

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...

Me, I am afraid there will be a blood bath if the Donald IS elected President and CinC. snailgate.

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. The case that now has him looking to keep his wages from being garnished, Is that the same one where he agreed to no jury, and pleaded guilty. And the trial was only to determine the extent of his...

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...

Perhaps he should buy some Powerball tickets for tonite? Whoops!?! I think one must pay cash for those. So I guess the poor billionaire can't do that.

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.

Informed authorities will not touch it because 'race' is a social/political defined category Yes, domestic dogs are all the same specie, but different breeds have recognizable different characteristics but dog and horse breeders have careful records and plan the breeding after much study.and race as...
