well, then he certainly fooled me.
THAT, which you see when George H. W. Bush speaks, moves, walks, laughs, etc. is POLITICAL ACTING that hides every fiber of his true self.
You know exactly nothing about the real person behind that facade (you are not alone. HE barely knows anything about him).
You would never want to spend a single second behind closed doors with the real person, because that real person is still hiding underneath 7 layers of political costume.
That's what you get with political dynasties. You get the inbred retardation of a normal functioning societal "shakeout".
You get the turds falling through the filter.
You get W's.
Jeb doesn't matter and doesn't even warrant a mention but I specify that here for temporal clarity. One might otherwise assume I have strong feelings about him. I do not. I just hate his fucking disgusting family.

On Barbara Bush
If yours looks and acts like that creature (what exactly is it? are you 100% sure? and would it surprise you if George H. W. was a closet homosexual child predator in a marriage of total convenience?), you need to distance yourself from its conclusions, mandates and beliefs.
She taught her children a wonderfully important lesson - how to act like a human being while the peasants are watching.
She unfortunately did not teach them much about how to actually function like one.

That's really why...
They ruined the Uno's Pizza commercial because people were offended by the Italian accent.
That's really why they overdubbed it with the creepy weird voice that turned it from one of the very few "must watch commercials no matter how many times they play it" to an ear-injuring assault prompting the immediate channing of the channel.
Unbelievably funny. Was it here that I mentioned the "racial insensitivies" displayed in the casting, and that directing students should make additional versions? splicing in various politically correct faces in order to diversify the purely-scandinavian cast?
Never in my wildest dreams did I think people would be offended by the accent. Never.
But many people are.
Lots. Like not just 1 or 2.
I can't be certain, but I think my late 100%, second generation Italian American stepfather from East Boston circa 1920's and 30's would have had a field day recreating the words from the ad in exactly the same sort of exaggerated accent as was in the original version.
Because he was fun.
But like I said, I can't be certain because he's gone now.
Thank goodness for the insatiable curiosity of the Zolak for getting to the bottom of it.

The Free College Movement Has Poor Timing
It'll be free without you lifting a finger within 20 years because there is
NO
REASON
FOR
BRICK
AND
MORTAR
COLLEGES
ANY
LONGER
DUE TO
TECHNOLOGY.
with the few exceptions of the actual research and labwork, etc. that requires such infrastructure.
An undergraduate education requires a functioning computer and internet connection and nothing else.
So it should cost you maybe $500 in total fees, etc. Instead, we will continue to funnel more and more "free" money into the institutions for no good reason, other than perhaps the opportunity for 19 year olds to get together, drink beer and rape and sodomize each other, within the "safety of school grounds".

So I watched that documentary "Prophet's Prey" about
the polygamist Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints Church. It's a fantastic documentary, but man does it stretch your understanding of the human mind to uncomfortable extents.
The fact is a wiry loser found a way to convince (apparently) fully-functioning grown men and women to hand over their 12 year old daughters to be raped and impregnated by him, while also handing over their entire paychecks from working 20+ hour shifts to the church to help enslave others. (in a sense it's like those handing over control of their lives to Mark Zuckerberg's privacy-raping ad service, but that analogy is admittedly quite thin).
Truly amazing and for the ones who escaped, it's wonderful to see how normal they sound and how clearly they appear to be thinking.
Jeffs apparently gets direct information from God, but NEVER anything specific, except when it is specific, and the prediction fails to come through, at which point he blames the failure for the prophesy to be fulfilled on the impurity of his flock.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
God loves to tease, eh? What a shitty, selfish, child-raping God. He gives you just enough information to make incorrect predictions... HAHAHAHAHA

Weekend, 2 game series.
The NHL hockey season should largely consist of 2 game series played in the same arena.
ie. the Bruins against the Flyers in Philly, on Friday and Saturday night. or Friday night and Sunday afternoon, even though i generally hate matinees.
You are welcome.
(yes, this probably requires ditching the policy of having every team play in every other arena at least once)
i imagine this could cut down on flight costs by 15-17%.
i also imagine it would make for a better, more marketable product and therefore higher ticket sales.
if necessary, roster expansion should be allowed.

It Looks... Gritty...
and shrouded in the familiar, pale graywash of winter on the north shore...
which doesn't exactly differentiate it much from priors or anything. just documentin' the facts.
i look forward to seeing "Manchester-By-The-Sea"
People really hate the fact that Shakespeare in Love won Best Picture.
Specifically that it beat Saving Private Ryan.
I disagree with them. I'm glad SIL won. There will be a gazillion more SPRs in the future. War movies are basically 2 hour long cliches filled with hero worship and embarrassing nationalist pandering and racism.
I guess you could say that about many things, but SIL was a unique, fun, wonderfully inspirational and visually appealing journey filled with near perfect performances throughout the cast....... (Ben Affleck excepted but that is to be assumed in all of his performances. he really sucks as an actor when he's doing anything but paddling freshmen in high school hazing rituals).
I believe that you can learn life lessons from SIL, whereas SPR, like all war movies, is focused strictly on the ways individuals react and respond to the most stressful, life-threatening situations imaginable. Sure, that's nice to know and all and maybe will come in handy when the apocalypse hits, but barring that, it really didn't tell me anything I didn't know or am likely to need to know in the future.
Whereas the simple concept of, "I dunno.... It's a mystery" has served me well consistently through the years.
Also, the fact that individuals of that time regularly walked in on each other having sex with their mistresses and did so without any hint of concern for any sort of propriety was quite funny.
Course I'm sure part of my affinity for the film is probably due to the fact that I saw it during my first few weeks of my California experience and as such was in a great place (Cupertino... apparently that is near where the nerds live... thankfully i have escaped their nerdishness) to embrace such a message, but there's nothing I can do about that. I still would rather watch SIL again than SPR if I had to choose one.
Not to mention the fact that any moment spent watching Tom Sizemore is an annoying moment that feels like you're watching Steven Segal or Chuck Norris (ie. an absurdly overrated-by-most, waste of time in 99.5% of cases) so I'd rather not have to do that again.
Bye!

Frank Vatrano should be signed to a 5 year contract
Donald can you heaah me?
5 years with a reasonable to slightly better than reasonable aav.
That kid is a Bruin and will not suffer from "too much security". He's filthy hungry, willing to play within the system, has high hockey IQ, great speed, great shot, loves to hit, and appears to be the type of guy I'd want to be on road trips with (assuming that doesn't get out of control but my sense is that it's not going to, at least not for a few years).
YOU DON'T WAIT AROUND ON THOSE ONES. THIS IS WHAT A GM IS, RECOGNIZE THE KEEPS AND NOT KEEPS... DUHHHH......... you gather up all the keeps and you deal the not keeps...
Colin Miller, same.
Morrow, deal.
Trotman, play by ear.
Of course Loui is the sticker, and they're almost certainly not going to be able to afford him. If he's going to move, they need to approach PB and let him know that it will be another lost season. I don't think they want to do that so Loui probably can't be moved. So another UFA, literally the most desirable UFA by far for a contending team will likely walk for nothing. (2nd year in a row perhaps. Carl was up there with the best ufa's last year. Told ya so on that one. What a waste. You worked so hard to get him and then let him just fall through your fingers... bad...
Back to the point at hand, these decisions are based purely, 100% on the individuals involved, and this is a case where you just need to get it done and then make sure Claude treats him accordingly, and not like some disposable, replaceable piece (that does not mean guaranteed playing time in the short term, however it does mean that, when possible, the extra opportunity to succeed should be provided).

Wow that's ironic.
Bill Belichik's extra point rule change cost him a Super Bowl! in the FIRST YEAR OF THE RULE!
wow.
wow.
Ok I apologize and take it back.
I don't wish ill on anyone, including Dick Cheney, even if he is a psychopath responsible for the callous murder of thousands.
Where to draw the line between "to judge or not to judge", eh? Pope Francis? I guess the idea is that we are all shapeable, and therefore, there but for the Grace... (Dick Cheney of course, would immediately begin to think, "see, not so easy, huh? you'd have done the same thing if you were in my position and knew what I knew.. assuming you had the BALLS... which you wouldn't..." but he would of course be wrong in his self-serving logical progression). Especially given the simple fact that most, if not all psychopaths suffered unthinkable abuses, generally from the very earliest ages.
My goodness how does one stay sane when they have to interact with evil behavior on a regular basis, regardless of the personal histories of the offenders? How could one possibly remain a good Christian, and resist the urge to hate? How does one do that?
Were it not for some recent examples of individuals forgiving their trespassers I might doubt that it was possible in the more extreme cases, or over a sufficient amount of time. But we do have those examples, so we must choose whether to accept their existence and allow them to influence our behavior, or not, allowing our behavior to remain more closely aligned with our more instinctual, primal response.
If one cared about their decision-making, one might then begin to ask themselves what a legitimate moral framework might be for being the best Christian one can be, while recognizing the right of individuals to use any force necessary to defend themselves.
I think the end result of all these pursuits is the same as the end of the alcoholics' journey - acquiescence to a higher power, total acceptance of one's own moral failings and limitations being equal to others', and a dedication to a life of non-judgement, or i guess at least "non-vengeance", vs. judgment (and vengeance).
It makes me wonder what God Antonin Scalia believes in, and how that belief relates to God's granting of wartime victories to the United States.
If I had to guess, I would say it's probably the same God Dick Cheney believes in.
I wonder how closely their lines of "God blessed us here and damned us here because of liberals" would track if plotted on a timeline or some other visual aid.

A case could be made
that David Ortiz is the single most selfish "player" in baseball history.
"Heck no I won't play first base, even though the team desperately needs me to. That's not what I signed up for and I could get hurt playing defense so no, I won't."
"How dare you not give me a hit on that play? I'll see you after the game."
"How dare you call a strike on me, man? How dare you not grant me special privileges because of my fame as team mascot? I earned that shi, man."
His "leadership" has resulted in 3 out of 4 years of last place finishes. This past season, the two free agents that most notably followed his lead turned in two of the worst, most insulting and pathetic performances in major league history. In Ramirez' case, it was the laziest and most catastrophic defensive effort by any player in the history of the game at any competitive level. Comically, embarrassingly bad on a daily basis. Literally helped sink his team to the bottom of the league because he wouldn't try.
So yeah, pick and choose your data points, sure. As one who has seen the Dominican Con Man's shtick for over a decade, my data tells me that this guy's a selfish, narcissistic clown who wouldn't know a hard day's work if it punched him in the face.
Fuck you, D!

The people at the top
of national security in any culture are predominantly psychopathic.
I hope Dick Cheney dies soon. I hope Liz Cheney has come to terms with her father's nature. I do not believe she has and I do not expect her to, certainly not any time soon.
Hey Dick, dead yet?

Perhaps the most important function of social pressure
is to keep you willing to accept humiliation and poor health amidst your miserable days doing work you hate at a job from which you'd like nothing better than to quit.
While financially supporting and literally spending your time CARING about the lives of richer, smarter, faster, stronger, "better" people than yourselves.... at your own expense!! hahaha......
holy shit that's funny. you ACTUALLY care about a family named "The Kardashians".
Impressive mind control, indeed.

For the first time in my life, as a result of the recent Simpsons episode, I just now thought about why the Philadelphia 76ers are named the 76ers.
It took me all these years.
It had simply never occurred to me before this moment, and only then because they showed a hat with the logo, and it didn't look quite right and it got me thinking.
It's probably due to the fact that they're usually referred to as the Sixers, which tends to hide the full context. It's like how surprised I was to learn that the Seattle Sonics were actually the "Super"Sonics. Alas, they are no longer.
People post things about sports media.
This is a factual statement. They spend energy attacking dudes who sit behind microphones and whose job it is to annoy people and make them unable to turn off the station because they are 'SO WRONG AND STUPID!!!'
They are attacking barnacles hanging off the hull of the barge. Can you imagine the degree of flawed perspective in all matters big and small that leads to this behavior?
