So you've read the famous "buttered buns" scene?; 4/14/19, 9:33 PM
Richard Dillman said...: I watched it, thought it was very good. As far as I know, much of tonight’s narrative was in the novel which is very long and detailed.
I didn’t read the entire book but had to translate sections of it in high school and college French classes. It was a good way to learn French.
Check out the wikapedia article on the novel for a pretty good synopsis of the plot.; 4/14/19, 9:37 PM

Brennan, the police-state tyrant, is terrified. He’s terrified because his role in organizing the most disturbing abuse of government power in modern times is about to see daylight. He’ll be recognized by history only as a stain, and a blight, on our Nation. Bank on it.

Due to the fact that Democrats are unwilling to change our very dangerous immigration laws, we are indeed, as reported, giving strong considerations to placing Illegal Immigrants in Sanctuary Cities only....

Men with beards carry more germs than dogs including deadly bacteria in facial fuzz, study claims

Professor Andreas Gutzeit said the study showed hounds were 'clean compared with bearded men'

https://www.thesun.co.uk/sun-men/8860464/men-beards-germs-dogs-bacteria/

Since Trump is reported to be a noted germophobe, the fallout from this news is that Ted Cruz, David Letterman and Jullian Assange will probably not be invited to visit the White House.; 4/14/19, 10:03 PM

Lewis Wetzel said...: ""I think that there's nobody in the country who knows better that he should not be president of the United States than Donald Trump," Pelosi said when asked to describe the president."
Said Pelosi tonight on CBS .
Now how would she know such a thing? Surely Pelosi has no reputation for keen insight on human character. This is a vicious insult directed at the nearly 63,000,000 Americans who voted for Trump (unlike Chuck, I did not vote for Trump. My conscious is clear).; 4/14/19, 10:11 PM

narciso said...: Well khashoggi actually is of Turkish roots as are not a few of the leading clans like the rhunayans but the kingdom is where the last Jewish settlement was conquered around 641 ad (dont quote me); 4/14/19, 10:43 PM

Anonymous said...: Unlike Unknown at 10:44, I am both white and overwhelming . . . somewhat overwhelming . .. more whelming than average, anyway. And the Nat Geo Helix test says my wife and I both have less Neanderthal ancestry than most people as white (not to mention whelming) as we are.

Not sure what to make of that . . . I wonder if people with high levels of Neanderthal might want to form networks and support groups, and have conventions? Something to think about.

BudBrown said...: I luv Jack Nicklaus but maybe he should have an asterick on his name. Two of his majors
were Amateur Championships. Yeah, yeah, it was a "big deal" back then, uh huh, but then Woods gets no credit for his College Championships. One more major and Tiger has as many of the
pro wins as Jack.; 4/15/19, 3:46 AM
Bay Area Guy said...: Congresswonan Tlaib calls out the Democrat Party leadership as racist. We will not be props in a photo!

"They put us in photos when they want to show our party is diverse. However, when we ask to be at the table, or speak up about issues that impact who we are, what we fight for & why we ran in the first place, we are ignored. To truly honor our diversity is to never silence us."

Ah frack. Is it my Monday again already? We do the intern work around here to keep the Big Thinkers unencumbered by administrative BS. Sorry guys, busy weekend, my bad.
