  1. Newt is very bright, he just spends too much time pandering to the extreme of his party. I think mostly for Fox News lucre. Not to say he doesn't have some extreme views of his own, but he comes by them honestly and can defend them vigorously. I've been a bit surprised and disappointed by his support for Trump.
  2. Not looking good Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. He knew why?? Was he in on the conspiracy? What do you know? When did you know it?
  4. Also vague memories of Watergate. I specifically remember my parents watching Nixon speak on a small B&W T.V. in the kitchen. His resignation speech was a couple of days after my birthday and i think events like that are always magnified by being close to your birthday, so I assume it was that. First really jarring news I remember were the shootings of John Lennon and Ronald Reagan.
  5. Thank God we had him for the last 70+ years. RIP Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Just to add, if I were a citizen of the UK, I would have voted no. But I agree... the ramifications won't be known for years.
  7. The graph shows, as far as the Dow goes, the wealth is back Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. For, like a whole week. FYI, not defending Brexit or specifically attacking KevinG. I just enjoy watching internet people get all experty about every damn thing that happens in the world. Also, this was damn funny. http://forward.com/the-assimilator/344073/watch-the-story-of-brexit-as-told-by-seinfeld/
  9. Revel in the mullets and the great bass lines. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKkyhFuvByU
  10. Geez, I just saw Bob's post about his health. I love his work with Lou Reed on New York and Magic and Loss. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. I had the Paul cover issue for a long time. Pretty sure the Rolling Stone Hot issue from '86 is still in my parents' basement. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. More than 100 pages of notes and index. The hard copy is 435 of text. The backgrounds of the Stinsons - especially Bob - was harrowing. If I knew Tommy and Bob were just half brothers, I'd forgotten.
  13. Jus finished Trouble Boys about the Replacements. So good, so fucking heartbreaking. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. But the lawyers got paid, and not in discounts and vouchers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. If this is the case, I would argue his self-loathing is intricately tied to his faith. In my mind, this adds more to his motives, but doesn't change them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. I've got no problem lumping all the religious extremists together. They cannot accept others' dissenting views, beliefs, or lifestyles and therefore feel empowered to kill them. I am a Christian who has vast respect for Islam, but ALL religions have extremist wings, even Buddhism. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. I am not arguing against gun control here, but I think it is important to point out that France's strict gun regulations did not prevent a very similar massacre at The Bataclan. If we think gun control is the only political issue connected to this incident, we are as guilty of burying our heads in the sand as those who say gun control won't stop any mass shootings. How to prevent ISIS-inspired shootings like this and San Bernadino? I have no fucking clue. I do believe Donald Drumpf's call for a ban on Muslim immigrating to the U.S. is a recipe for more hatred and more attacks, not fewer.
  18. Fuck these two douchebags. Clinton has made history by becoming the first woman to (presumptively) secure a major party nomination, but I don't feel much like celebrating.
  19. Hixter, I notice you left this fact hanging out there. Any thoughts on this blatant racism?
  20. If... A hypothetical. Moot. These kids weren't chanting "spic" or "wetback". They were chanting "Trump". Again, evidence that he has emboldened hatred. What, exactly, did Jimmy Carter do to embolden harassment you faced? This.

  22. Kids at a basketball game in Iowa chant "Trump" at kids from a school with a large Latino population. I never claimed Trump invented this, I said he emboldened it. Pretty clear evidence of this. It's hateful, it's poisonous, and it ought to be considered anti-American. I'm teaching my kids that it is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
