Really good weather. Really good geography. Unbelievably stupid government being run by unbelievably stupid people. The bottom claim trumps the top two. An idiotic situation, the evidence of which is the amount of human urine and excrement on the streets of San Francisco, the town that I dated and married my wife.

They tried that with me for two years. I left after living there for 13 years. A year after leaving, they billed me for that full calendar your of income taxes, plus penalties. I told them I sold my house and there were countless real estate records available, per their code, to prove that. They demanded my current states income tax return, my full IRS return with all schedules, and said they would continue to assess penalties until I paid. I sent them the required returns, at great waste of time and expense. Three months later, I was on a trip and they called and informed my wife the new tax levy plus penalty, which amounted to a very significant sum of money. My wife was in a tizzy. I called Sacramento and spent three hours talking to them. Finally, I got to one guy who said "Oh yea, we got all that and you're off the hook," or words to that effect. I asked him why he didn't inform me of that weeks ago, and he said "We don't inform individuals when their appeals are approved, only when they're not." Can't stand the place.

It's what they have after an impeachment primary. It will take some time for Ms. Clinton to designate the winner though, so we have some time. My suggestion would be to hold the primary during the Pro Bowl, because nobody on earth watches that.

You clearly know that I am talking about accusing him of treason based on his behavior as a POW. Frankly, I am not interested in this "boot" vector.

He is certainly not a hero, but neither is he guilty of treason. Jeremiah Denton and James Stockdale were heroes. Calling him a hero is an overstatement. Calling him treasonous is contemptible.

And they would be just that......"Made Up."

I think the attempted sullying of McCain with regard to his POW experience is contemptible.

Oprah's becoming a Republican?

I'm here to learn. Just hadn't heard of that one, and who knows?

Oh. Since there is no such command, I was wondering who you meant.

What exactly is "US air command?"

And yet the hair trigger Trump didn't respond.

Trump is a goof, but Haiti should have been taken over by an international force years ago, strictly for humanitarian reasons.

The force behind breaking that inflation was Paul Volcker at the Fed. He and Reagan used to go at it all the time, but I always had a feeling Reagan was winking at him. Either way, it worked.

I have never compared anyone to Trump. I don't know how you came up with that. I didn't vote for the man, and never would. Regardless, you are grossly wasting your time on Oprah. She isn't smart. She understands little. She is incredibly rude and dismissive, and has done things that are clearly racist, and that's just what I know. She doesn't have anywhere near the mental competence to be president or pick a staff that would be in the best interests of our country. You, sir, need to know what's out there, and there is plenty.

Contrasting every potential candidate with Trump is a fool's errand. We can do better. And Oprah's "brain" has never been tested. How she treats others has been on display for decades though, and it aint good.

It generally isn't their only weapon. They play pretty decent half course offense as well. Syracuse plays exceptional zone. While they are certainly not an offensive powerhouse, they are an extremely successful program since Bennett, and they aren't going to go out and get someone they don't feel would fit.

Things change slowly. Virginia has been a tough place to recruit national level high school scorers. Very high and uncompromising academic standards. A lot of emphasis on defense. I've watched them practice a couple times and his system is ingrained before they ever see the court in a game. Red shirt everybody. But, little by little they are getting better shooters, and NBA success is aiding recruiting. Malcolm Brogdan being named the steal of the draft and NBA rookie of the year was a positive thing, but he's a special kid. Anyway, the ACC is tough schedule and they always go into mid March a little tired and without great depth, and it catches up to them.

Great to see my Hoos beat Boeheim's zone again. UVA is the best defensive team in the country, but always falls short in the tourney against physical teams, and usually has scoring issues. This year they have two more reliable three shooters, but that usually doesn't work nearly as well on the road. Great win.

If the Oprah thing ever gets any traction, there are going to be thousands of people who have "experienced" her who are going to come forward. Just a nasty, nasty woman.

And the result of an electronic countermeasure routine. See it. Evaluate it. Disregard it, (because it fits a decoy protocol).

I get your tenure. My point is to bring up a warning flag to folks who interpret photos without background knowledge. Nothing else, and you are not one who does.

Not to be a penis about this, but guessing what this is just that...... guessing It is impossible to determine what is going on in any of those photos. The "zig zag" pattern looks like a few things, one of which is a failure of the seeker, leading to poor and constantly correcting guidance in an attempt to solve a bad seeker issue. Another possibility is the result of what are called "bang bang canards," which the sidewinder (heater) missile uses, among many others. In fact, that is how sidewinder got it's name. Sidewinder is an air-air missile, but bang bang canards for intercept solution is not unique to it. It is not my intent to bring up this stuff, but be careful when you try to interpret this without background. Highly unlikely it is turbulence related, for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that at the speeds these things travel, the zigs and zags are milliseconds apart. Both of those pictures could just as well be from perfectly performing missiles. The zig zag would be the result of what is called end game solution to a target. The more arced pattern would be the end game of a constant trajectory intercept. Point is.... Purely speculative to guess at it. Regards.

The funniest part of all this is reading people's posts. Did you actually read his post? Did you notice the last sentence?

Is this what passes for a reasoned argument? AT&T announces the bonuses, but as part of a mega conglomerate that employs about 270,000 people, announces a few lay offs in non competitive areas. I think some will stop at nothing; no distortion is to great. Seriously. Why not just post that AT&T announced the bonuses and ten AT&T employees died the next day?
