Jaq said...: Watching "Die Hard," and I love the way they portray the FBI as a crew of bumbling idiots. the Billie Holiday documentary also shows the FBI as a bunch of political hacks trying to create crimes in order to get her to stop singing "Strange Fruit." Not much has changed since then.; 10/12/21, 7:23 PM

rehajm said...: Someone mentioned Dumbledore in another post. Ever notice Dumbledore and the Winter Warlock show up at the Vanity Fair party but never at the same time?

Weird…; 10/12/21, 8:38 PM

And Vietnam War cowboys who think the coolest thing is to use their miniguns to terrorize a rooftop of civilians.; 10/12/21, 9:29 PM
Narr said...: Elvis's appeal, I am assured by those who study such matters, transcended sex. One of the guys who knew him briefly and very young--he's a few years younger than Elvis and older than me--said his first thought on meeting him was, "It's not fair that one person should be so beautiful."

I don't think that made it into the Guralnick books, but the person is cited quite a bit for local expertise.; 10/12/21, 10:02 PM

Expect it to be sold by the slice in a week or two. Like pizza.; 10/12/21, 10:26 PM
rehajm said...: I drove past the Port of Charleston yesterday. Three or four full container ships at dock. The terminals have containers stacked seven and eight high everywhere. It looks like there’s no place to put anymore. The auto lot is full of BMW suvs- definitely not a place to park one more.

I’ll have to drive to Savannah later in the week. Rumor has it theres no more room for ships in port so they are stacked up offshore.; 10/13/21, 5:20 AM
wendybar said...: Joe and Hunter Biden mingled finances and had bank accounts together...and CRICKETS from the DOJ and the media??? Just imagine if Trump and Trump Jr. did this without having an actual company separate from Government??? Funny how the Bidens can do whatever they want and nobody gives a damn...even leaving Americans behind for the Taliban to torture. Unfreakingbelievable.; 10/13/21, 5:57 AM

Owen said...: We are short about 60,000 truck drivers. Those are the guys who move the containers around. They drive the full ones from the docks and they return the empty ones. They aren’t able to keep up. It was already bad before Covid ever happened. The shutdown made it harder. The vaccine mandate is making it worse: truckers are reportedly avoiding cities and ports where they might be subject to sanctions if they aren’t vaccinated. This is third-hand rumor but it seems directionally plausible. How do we learn more? Certainly not from the MSM: not, at least, until the supply crunch becomes critical. Then anybody not cooperating fully will get a visit from Merrick Garland.; 10/13/21, 9:12 AM
