Fire-Breathing 150-Foot Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Attacks Congress https://unsubscribedmedia.com/2019/03/16/fire-breathing-150-foot-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-attacks-congress/?fbclid=IwAR1XYm0jvcRdjy_dqLMfyWkMlqzs1Nr4ZRN-3iWk69r-B2KAlMh7D1s-WMM

SF thinks if a kid were to post "F-school, F-sports, F-everything" and the school/teachers/friends did nothing, there may some question as to why nothing was done when that kid comes back to school after stealing their parent's gun, etc...........

Either some very foul/scandalous was afoot over there recently......or you have a few “lemme talk to your manager” parents on the school board the worst part of it all, the kids are the ones who will get all the blowback from this.

Heard a joke on Bob and Tom the other day that you'd probably enjoy ... Bono and The Edge walk into a bar. The bartender says, "You two again?"

https://spectator.org/loan-reform-requires-colleges-with-skin-in-the-game/ Sound like an interesting plan. Something has to change with the government student loan program. The logical, principled course would be to get rid of it entirely, but we all know that won't happen anytime soon.

as a U2 fan, this is funny. My students will even talk about this happening to their phones.

I don't understand.

Oh it was enlightening.

Then why doesn't the label just say "organic" and not "pesticide-free", "non-GMO", "pure", etc.? Oh wait, it's government controlled. Just answered my own question........

Oh man, you mean I'm being ripped of by paying about an extra 30 cents a pound for really no difference? Where is government to stop this injustice?

Good thing that I have a practice of not taking a sip of a drink before reading the GID meme thread. 😃

They didn't figure in teachers days of work benefit. At least 8-12 weeks of vacation in your first year.

Memory bank call up: Tim Wilson - King of England

I don't normally post a lot on here, but this has me triggered... How is PABLO SANCHEZ a 5-seed? Pablo was a character in the OLLLLLLD Windows video game "Backyard _____ (fill in the sport)", and he was literally nicknamed the Secret Weapon. He was basically Bo Jackson. Also, check out that belly. He was promoting positive body images for us fat guys two decades before it became a big deal.

So lemme get this straight. If a small school coach votes for a small school player it’s biased...but if a big school coach votes for a big school player it’s not?

That's what she said

If I recall from government my senior year, about 100 years ago, one thing that the EC gives us, is a majority, which is also constitutionally mandated. Clinton won in 92 with like 42%-45% of the popular vote, with Perot siphoning votes away. I believe Reagan barely had a majority with slightly over 50% in 1980, with Anderson in the race. I'm sure there are other instances, but those two were both in my lifetime and I can recall them easily. I have heard on the radio, could be Warren not sure, someone championing the abolition of the EC envision 3, or 5, or 20 parties involved in the process. If we can extrapolate that out, it stands to reason we could have that many people running for president. So this create an unintended consequence? Look at the current D field for president, one can only imagine if we had multiple parties, one can only assume at least a handful of the 437 D running for president might consider another party. Look at quasi legit candidates, Bernie, Biden?, etc., if they took a third, fourth, or 20th party, they would legitimately take enough votes from other candidates to have a winner without a majority in popular vote, which ends up creating more chaos, anyone remember 2000? Personally I'm down with the EC. I think it's brilliantly designed to keep small geographic areas from dominating the political process. If we abandon the EC, nationally the only states that would matter to anyone are CA, TX, NY, IL, FL, and PA. Everything else will become irrelevant. As I understand it this is one of the reasons CA is considering a split into multiple states. CA being largely red, with the exceptions of most of the coast. Conservatives feel like regardless of how they vote, their voices are not heard, because SF, LA, and SD so dominate everything. As with so many things, it seems today people only see today, they don't look at the big picture. There was some chatter about abolishing the EC after 2000, but the Internet wasn't quite the thing it is today. I really believe this movement is a knee jerk reaction to 1-2 events people came out on the wrong side of. And given the current political climate, I'd say amending the constitution has about a snowball's chance in hell of happening.
