Interesting thread considering the source. I find it interesting that one time so called Conservatives were in favor of the free market as well as corporate rights until they disagree with them for whatever reason. Eric, what's good for the goose

I've heard their on property hotels are nice. I wasn't impressed with their timeshare property in Hilton Head however. I'm not sure it's comparable

Not exactly inexpensive to retire to FLA compared to neighboring states

Especially if you throw in $$$ collected from related industries, I.E. hotels, restaurants, and related theme parks not owned by The Mouse.

Possibly another trial to keep an eye on...

A FB friend posted a recent Cadbury commercial today..which led me down the rabbit hole

When Chris Christie may be your party's best hope.... You're screwed

I find myself using that line quite a bit lately as we transition into the final act(s).

We watched it a while back. Good series, then to go back and watch the first two movies after not doing so in a while gave them new perspective.

I don't remember The Joan days for the Sox. It was always "The Cell". Seemed appropriate.

I learned shortly after moving here we're in a weird weather hole. it can be storming within 5 miles in all directions but we won't see a drop. I think for us the proximity of a couple of rivers near us may be part of what's happening. Then it could be the paper plant in the nearby burg.

IFIC early in his Presidency he made bad jokes about dogs. Dissed Obama's, probably the same with Biden. His comment was something like why would he spend his valuable time following a dog around the White House lawn picking up dog ****.

How "Christian" of them, eh MTG.

I'll just sit here and sip my Tannat and shake my head at both sides...

Just your normal real estate transaction between friends... Abe Fortas was unavailable to comment

The only semi serious gun legislation in the '70s came about when the Black Panthers started patrolling neighborhoods in Oakland, Ca with weapons https://www.history.com/news/black-panthers-gun-control-nra-support-mulford-act

Maybe we need some LBGT and Trans celebrities to start promoting guns...

Here's a court challenge I'd love to see go before juries... https://www.sltrib.com/news/education/2023/03/22/utah-parent-says-bible-contains/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email Basic thumbnail, an Utah parent is asking the court to remove the Bible from libraries for basically the same reason "Christian" book burners are seeking to remove other books. So they’ve submitted a request for their school district in Davis County to now review the Bible for any inappropriate content. “Incest, onanism, bestiality, prostitution, genital mutilation, fellatio, dildos, rape, and even infanticide,” the parent wrote in their request, listing topics they found concerning in the religious text. “You’ll no doubt find that the Bible, under Utah Code Ann. § 76-10-1227, has ‘no serious values for minors’ because it’s pornographic by our new definition.” The code cited is the Utah law passed in 2022 to ban any books containing “pornographic or indecent” content from Utah schools, both in libraries and in the classroom. It came after outcry from conservative parents groups, who have been pushing to have titles removed.

An annual event for Colonial Williamsburg, they light up the gardens behind the Governor's Palace for a couple of weeks. Add some 18th century music, mostly fiddles this year. It's a fun event and beats the "ghost tours"
