  1. Those who chuckled at this supposed irony missed a major detail, even though it was noted in the press coverage: Paul's surgery will take place at the Shouldice Hernia Hospital in Thornhill, Ontario. The clinic is private, and run for profit; The Toronto Star's Daniel Dale, who is from Thornhill, notes that it was "grandfathered in to Ontario's socialized health system."
  2. Glad to see this come to pass - FINALLY - Should've been done back when the original plans were done in 2004 -2005 that the Amish community turned down.......fearing a tax increase.......that didn't happen after the new school was built.....🤬
  3. https://mix935roanoke.iheart.com/content/2019-01-15-president-trump-catered-fast-food-buffet-to-honor-clemson-tigers/?fbclid=IwAR0oOd6IN-BBwIPLJeb2O9g2JphDbRIvXreXhShOS7xw2IWOOQzLrmdWgt8 The Clemson boys didn't look too upset by this. I love guy in the middle of the pack, 2 Big Macs, a couple of other burgers......
  4. I would kinda expect this story from USA Today, or CNN, not NPR. I certainly wouldn't expect it to be so opinionated from NPR. Unless it was meant as an opinion piece from them, but it wasn't classified as such. Here's another quote from that article you didn't copy: Perhaps befitting Trump's hard stance on the southern border, it is not clear whether tacos were served at the gathering. Is this now the News?
  5. SF has a general agreement with Ron Swanson and Muda.........Government shutdowns are OK with me...... I have a sister-in-law who lives in Pentagon City, and is an FBI employee (accounting) and is actually surviving this shutdown because she has been in DC for over a decade and knows how to plan. HOWEVER - the cost of living in a place like DC is exponentially higher than what we are used to. I suppose this would apply to most large metropolitan areas, but her small 2 bedroom condo (on the bottom floor of a 5 story complex just South of the Pentagon and about a mile from the nearest subway station) was a bargain at $395,000. This abode would set some one in Indiana back about $75,000 - $100,000 maybe. She is not having any problems, as I said she can plan better than most, and of course will get back pay and family will help if needed. She still has to get in to work every day and back home, but will survive.
  6. Teachers are predominantly female in the United States, particularly in primary education. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, 76 percent of public-school teachers were female. Over 80 percent of social workers are female. Soooo - It's a woman's fault after all?
  7. Cold McDonald's on expensive plates could not be any more perfect a representation of Trump. NPR - Really?
  8. Did anyone else notice that Gehrig Dieter (the former standout player for the controversial SB Washington team a few years back) made the field on Sunday playing for the Chiefs and had an 11 yard catch? SF did. Congrats to Mr. Dieter for lasting through the college years and making it to the Pros.....
  9. Glad to hear - Thanks to DK and the others involved in getting the GID back up!!
