this reminded me of something a friend shared with me.  She has another friend who is a sex addict.  I asked what the meant.  This lady would go after anybody, anytime.  Like the UPS driver at work in a stairwell.  It's crazy.  It's not sexy at all from how she described it. She's in therapy. She had printouts of all the **** pics men would send her and she would rate them and catalog.  This lady is also, otherwise, a massive germaphobe.  That's what addiction is.  It's not just being horny and wanting some.

This is where conversations go during 10 mile runs week after week after week.

This might end up being Biden most important decision of his presidency.  It's looking more and more like we'll have a soft landing with this economy and this issue already started to effect shipping which would have only increased inflation if the Houthi's kept this up unchecked.  Considering we went out and got a coalition together to support and back us with this in a pretty short time is good governance.  

Iran will respond, but it looks like we're in a good position to deal with that.

Re: Tonight’s caucuses

… guess who said this?

” You can’t sit home.  If you’re sick as a dog…. Even if you vote then pass away. It’s worth it”.

The pejorative use of dog gives it away.

The Iowa caucuses and the import given them by the political class are the worst event in American politics.   Why should anyone care what a handful of John Birch/New Apostolic Reformation/MAGA in Iowa think?

Any state that promotes deep fried butter on a stick deserves any ridicule that it gets

Just 110K people (mostly GOP) caucused yesterday. In one of the whitest states, one of the most rural states, one of the most MAGA states, Trump edged out a 51-49 win vs the field. Dems have got to be thrilled that: Trump may be the nominee and half* the GOP in f****** IOWA want someone else.

*(Certainly all of Vivek's votes are now for Trump.)

But NH will be interesting.

Cspan mentioned there are 2.2m voters in Iowa.   110k is 5% of the total voters.   Trump won half of that.   

I agree with Ratko.   I heard his voters were high intensity so where were they?

Hopefully the entire 55k of them were at the caucuses.

I'm surprised they let an Asian looking fella in there.

Think about it. These are people whose parents (and in some cases grandparents) fought wars to prevent the threat Fascism from spreading. They are probably old enough to remember the days of fear when we learned there were Russian missiles just 90 miles from Miami.

A HyVee bag, no less. Nice touch.

I caucused last night. The Trump "victory" is overdone. I was encouraged by how many spoke up to call out Trump's broken promises, crime, petulance, etc.

Largely it's the gung-ho types who caucus. "Thoughtful" is not an adjective I'd use to describe most attendees.

I went to cast my tiny protest vote. Had to register Republican to do it. I'll un-register next month.

And "election security" is a farce at a caucus. Fraud would be so easy.

Also, the political media really needs to focus more on delegate counts as opposed to "winning" states or what place.

[ben9753]

That’s actually funny. 

[oblong]

I think so too.... but only a joke I would make with someone I was close to.
