  1. I'm saying the party attracts less than mentally stable people. And they are among the party leaders. I would say I tend to have libertarian views on things. Until they get rid of the bat$hit crazy wing of the party, they'll never be a viable party for the masses. The party needs to focus their energy toward local races and build from the ground up. At this stage of the game, running for national offices is thrown money, manpower (personpower for the woke among us), and energy down a bottomless pit.
  2. Every time I think I can get on board with the Libertarians, some fat guy will start pole dancing.

  4. Who sits around and thinks about such things? https://sf.curbed.com/2019/7/17/20698146/berkeley-manhole-changes-name-maintenancehole-gender-neutral?fbclid=IwAR2UUoA_GQADYhMuiCLEKiFR7RYqcIBtGisR6ARDDOHmahIIxotEP2Vpn1I
  5. This is some of the funniest stuff I've seen in a while. Good work by the author.
  6. We worked on the security office at Morgan Foods a few years back. I would have to check in at a temp trailer to get my visitor pass to be on-site. I was somewhat shocked at the number of truck drivers I encountered who: A: Spoke little or no English B: I know people who've gone thru the CDL class and have heard stories about how difficult it is, there is NO WAY most of those guys passed the same test. 😄 It literally scared me to think I'm on the same road as these people and they're driving a massive 80K pound vehicle. People in general aside from being distracted are inconsiderate as hell on the road. Put your phone down, pay attention to what's going on around you. And for the love of god, if you're not passing GET OUT OF THE LEFT LANE!
  7. Local police here ran a similar scam with one riding school a school bus. Initially the idea was to go after bus stop violators, it of course spread to seat belts, texting, etc.
  8. I don't really remember Big Wheels being a thing until the 72-73. I really felt like I missed out, because they seemed really cool. By 72 I was 7 YO and felt like I was too big for them. By 7-8 YO, I could pull the 21" Lawn Boy around the neighborhood mowing grass and making cash! That little 1 gallon gas can would hang from one side of my handle bars and I'd pull the mower with that hand, it seemed to even everything out.
  9. I guess time will tell won't it. FYI, in my opinion, the Clinton's are irrelevant in 2020, it's time for EVERYONE to move on, and FWIW, the dude it Teflon, nothing is going to stick to him, so don't waste your time.
  10. I'm not sure on the distraction premise. I seem to recall early in his presidency the media telling us he was going to get us in a war with North Korea. Now they're telling us he's going to get us in a war with Iran, I didn't buy it then, and I'm not buying it now. Though I must say, Iran shouldn't let their alligator mouth overload their humming bird ass. They're being pretty stupid with their navy. Epstein is a non-factor. There's plenty of dirt on both sides, that story will quietly fade away and he'll go to jail. Looking at the group who voted for him because he wasn't Hillary, do you really believe the those voters flip based on the current crop of D candidates? I do not. Support from racist groups is greatly exaggerated in my opinion. Lust looking at the KKK by most estimates has a current membership of 5000-8000 nationwide. I don't see that they have significant enough numbers to influence anything. I can't imagine across the board of hate groups that are substantial enough numbers to matter. Also of note The Southern Poverty Law Center has listed over 1000 current hate groups in the US. Listed beside the KKK is the Nation of Islam, so to some extent those numbers are going to cancel each other out. I will stand by my statement, he's a brilliant, though unconventional tactician. The media and the dems are being played like a fiddle. Once again as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are on their "impeach Trump" tour, what legislation have they proposed to fix the problem at the border that they seem so concerned about? They seem really long on bitching, and really short on fixes.
  11. I am in no way endorsing Trumps Twitter tirade over the weekend. But I will say once again he’s playing the media and dems like a fiddle. Of late the mainstream of the party is distancing themselves from VOC, there’s been plenty of air time discussing the rift between the VOC Squad and the leadership. Internal polling shows VOC is the face (and mouth) of the party among the vaunted independents, and has miserable approval numbers. Trump has once again unified them against him, and in doing so has made VOC the face of the party. IMO you can say what you want about Trump, but the dude understands media, and he understands how to use them to his advantage.
  12. First rule of storming Area 51 is don’t talk about storming Area 51......particularly the date and time.
  13. I don't believe this is a 1st Amendment issue. Just because someone blocks you on social media does not silence you. My state rep and I are personal friends, we went to school together, and have been FB friends since before he was a state rep. I see how some of his threads degenerate. He gets hammered by bots, out of state fake accounts, etc. I rarely posts on his threads because of all the notifications and all the crap you have to wade thru. I also know he has blocked people.
  14. Been there done that, only it was about the 6" mark. Ball was dead, I don't think anyone knew what to do, BJ finally just blew it dead. It did turn into a great story though. Suffice to say by the time it was all over, the coach thought I was a walking rule book.
  15. It is a scrimmage kick just like a punt, and treated the same way.
  16. These canned programs to schools, are a HUGE money grab for the distributor. Schools see 10K worth of "free" stuff and they get all hot and bothered. See how far 10K goes when you start buying football uniforms. Not to mention the boondoggle it creates for sports like wrestling, golf, tennis, etc. My brother coaches golf at said school, and they had to pay more for shirts and pullovers this year, that everyone hated. Seems like a win win to me.
  17. I would think more in terms of apparel for organizations. I would guess some organizations are large enough they would order uniforms from Lids (now part of BSN). In talking to the salesman from BSN, he said he did see some drop off from the original CK/Nike deal. Lids was Nike exclusively, BSN also offers UA as well. A local HS made a big to do over dropping all of their Nike uniforms and signing up with UA. Honestly it's a bunch of grandstanding, the target demographic is still the yute of the world, and I don't see them giving a hoot what Nike does, their stuff is cool. Personally I'm way past being cool, I'm about comfort and function, Nike isn't on the radar, nor has it been in years.
  18. I ain't going to lie, my wife has a garden tub in her bathroom, and I may have been enticed once or twice, but there was a shower first.
  19. I wouldn't even sit in my own bath water....hence I haven't had a bath since I was a kid.
  20. Could you elaborate? Perhaps tell us what steps HR should have taken to fill the positions that they haven't? Given your extensive background in HR I'm sure you can offer us some great insight.
  21. That A. Actually inhibited healing. B. Was actually dangerous. I'm surprised I don't still have those freaking red stains on my body somewhere.
