That is Pepper, my cocker waiting for the mailman.
I feel kinda left out on this. How come they didn't challenge CA too?
Maybe you are next. Maybe it will take place in a non-ending wave, 36+ electoral votes at a time.
Maybe granting preemptive pardons is good news. Maybe he's running out of imagined current indignities to whine about and is inventing future unknown indignities to whine about. He cannot help himself. He needs lovers and haters so the indignities w…
I have three excel workbooks. One is a weekly picture of my investment shares and current value. This one also keeps a weekly picture of my bank and credit account balances. A second simply records my yearly income sources and amount, RMDs, estimate…
But hey, don't ruin the fun. We can still put on our six shooters, pickup truck flag our way to the party in DC, and complain about all the things that just aint (maybe even the war on Christmas). Don't be such a pooper.
And speaking of ICUs, when conspiracies meet ICUs:

Hospital administrator Kyle Hansen told the Provo City Council this week that about fiv…
This is a good example of diversion. See how an issue about which most people agree becomes a political issue with political ideological arguments almost unrelated to the fact that most Americans agree that we need to lower drug prices. Talking abou…
And, to the little guy, the US subsidizes the negotiated prices of other developed countries as well as the free or discounted prices necessary for the poorest of Americans. Little perceived indignities like this may contribute to the overall anger …
Well, I, for one, am hopeful at the prospect of visiting, as in sitting inside, Dairy Queen for a blizzard. I wish Pfizer all the luck in completing the test phases successfully. I congratulate the scientists, medical professionals and engineers at …
When a country finds its purpose to be crawling up and down the vaginas of women and not advancing the state of its people, it is not a state at all but a banana Taliban.
Probably Wray since the public doesn't have a strong opinion about him.
Barr is interesting but who, with the exception of Giuliani would be more blindly loyal?
Eventually Fauci if he doesn't retire after his transfer to a impotent position.
Yes it is, Mark. But, at my age, I lived through much of the timeline (too young to remember life under Truman) and I couldn't help thinking that sometimes, though, the devils in the details. And "we the people" have had more than one considers to d…
Yes, the IRS, SEC, etc. type agencies have a problem with the caps on pay. They cannot really compete for talent and/or do not have the resources to devote to single clients. I think we all understand how hard it is but most of us would like to see …

Of course the "tip" might have been so heavy that the robot tipped over when it grabbed it.
But what would a robot want for a tip? I think something like a new pair of hands with gecko capabilities, extra lightweight legs, flight capability, etc.
The bold below in the buzzfeed article is mine simply because I the phrasing is so... so.... (no words come to mind). Where do you train to talk like this?
The letter warned that “leadership on financial crime had been lacking for a considerable per…
@hank Thanks. After my ex-federal-colleagues were hit with the mandatory SS tax deferral and subsequent pay back, I admit I sanity checked to make sure that I wouldn't have to take two RMDs in 2021. Some people thought the SS deferral was the same a…
And here I've been thinking the relationship went somewhat like this: The Fed is in place to help the market spend down the future of Main Street today. It's somewhat comforting to learn that that is not the case.
