Right after Christmas, Boehner should put through a deal that gets Democrats and sane Republicans to a majority vote in the House. Then he can let his party challenge his Speakership in the new...
When all you've got is a hammer, everything looks like an elephant.
Interesting way to describe it. That whole Grover Norquist pledge thing is a protection racket, too, isn't it?
I don't get it.
I didn't say it was "either/or." I said I wish we would start with a conversation about mental health. I believe we can make even partial improvements in how we deal with that issue that will yield...
I'm going to cross-post from the 'gun control' thread:
I sort of wish we would start with mental health instead. We throw away too many lives and too many resources simply because nobody wants to...

...and that is exactly why Sir Paul had an amused grin and a twinkle in his eye following the 'Nirvana' number. Everyone (including the ever-opportunistic Ms. Love) wants to pigeonhole him as all...
So, to sum up, well after my bedtime....
Macca plays Beatles/Wings tunes with his regular band (I love that drummer), joins a Nirvana reunion, singing lead on a new tune while playing slide on a...

The Missing Sock.
If there's a bright center to the universe, you're on the planet that it's farthest from.
Look. The notion that one's own perception defines the universe around them is a painfully unoriginal thought. The misappropriation of quantum physics as a means to "prove" this unoriginal thought...
One time Wynton Marsalis played here and had a room full of East Tennesseans clapping in 5/4 time.

Post hoc ergo propter hoc
Just because the Pope dissed Galileo, it does not follow that everyone who gets dissed is Galileo.
Put more simply: don't flatter yourself.
There's a reason that...
What we have here is an epihanot.
Epistemic closure.
Perhaps we should call a moratorium on all this and declare an end to the end of times.
I think the Daniel Craig outings are the best Bond, period.
There, I said it.
