This sounds like exactly my response to a ”Christian” movie. They are so ridiculously bad because to earn the label “Christian” they have to be preachy.

Fully agreed very heavy.

Love love love these books.

Any early Alistair MacLean…

Guns of Navaronne

Where Eagles Dare

When Eight Bells Toll

Night Without End

Puppet on a String

Louis Lamour’s westerns are complete popcorn and fun to read

C. S. Forester’s Horatio Hornblower books

Gilligan’s island

I dream of Jeannie

Perry Mason

Yes, but what gorgeous country to get fucked in! When my wife PCSd from Long Island to Fort Knox, we drove through that country several times.

She would also spend a lot of time at Fort Lee (now Gregg-Adams) and the drive from Fort Knox to Fort Lee also crossed amazing parts of WV.

My father was an itinerant minister. He traveled all over the country. We made great use of TripTik (I think that’s what it was called).

My absolute favorite AC game. My wife just got me Sideshow’s Edward Animus statue for my birthday. It’s stunning.

If someone tells you something, that something does not get repeated without asking for permission first. People don’t have to say “can I tell you this in confidence?” Absolutely everything is kept in confidence.

You might want to actually go read Article 25 if you believe there would be a Republican controlled shit-show.

Republicans have no say under section 1. President Biden says “I’m out” and Vice President Harris becomes President. Congress has no say, the Senate had no say, nobody has any say but the President and the Vice President.

The President could give a reason, or he could choose not to do so.

The only time Congress is involved is under Section 4.

Section 1 covers everything from “Take this job and shove it” to “I’m tired and want to spend more time with my family”

I repeat Congress has no say. There is no political debate. There is simply “I’m out, you’re in.”

Absolutely correct.

Literally you’re are correct, figuratively, I think I’m in pretty solid ground.

I think she gets a huge bounce if she’s the President thrust into a role she did not ask for or seek. It’s a pretty typical human reaction to cheer for people forced by circumstance into an unexpected role. I think she also gets four months to show that she’s Presidential material.

So that’s the pragmatic part. I also believe that President Biden has shown he’s incapable of governing, and that we have rules regarding that situation. In fact that’s why we have the position of VP.

I don’t think she stands a chance running as a VP. However, if President Biden were to invoke Article 25, and abdicate in favor of his VP. I honestly think she’d be a lock to win.

Hey, thanks for taking the time to chat, I enjoyed it! I gotta crash, but I’d really like to pick this up again tomorrow.

Just saw them a month ago in Louisville. It was an awesome show and Ann was in great voice.

There is no requirement that you do. I’m completely unsure why people believe that you must allow shitty human beings in your life because they are family. Fuck that! Allow people in your life who make your life better. If that’s family, that’s great, if it’s not family that’s completely ok also.

This is fucking amazing engineering! Smart people doing amazing things is so inspiring. Good for Bezos taking some of that wealth and investing it in such a fascinating project.

I think a child up until about 18mos is a baby. A new born is an infant.

We’re a Sonos family. Listening to Sonos right now as a matter of fact. But this really bugs me. I don’t allow voices control in my home so was interested when Sonos brought out their own version. I’ve contemplated rolling it out, but now likely won’t.
