The Frankish Reich

By the way, a little context on why Cracker Barrel wanted to ever-so-slightly revamp: Q3 last year: comparable restaurant sales down 1.6%. Comparable retail sales (all that "World's Best Grandpa" mug crap) down 6.7%. Maybe 6.7% fewer grandpas are the best in world as compared to 2023, or maybe tastes have changed and fewer customers want to buy stupid sh!t? So maybe they downsize the part of the outlet devoted to selling stupid crap and increase/modernize the part that has some hope of turning a profit? But no, you dumb effs are gonna boycott them (which would have an impact on a countryporn dependent product) and you'll be left with just Waffle House. https://dcfmodeling.com/blogs/health/cbrl-financial-health?srsltid=AfmBOopHljg2uCYds7rv7GoqM8xEmgWpCdsZXsm_f7_mJroBvUrjZ8O4 What's your beef with Costco? Are the rotisserie chickens now more gay-friendly?

Intentional erasure of American culture, I tell you! Stupid ass chain restaurant. First they came for the Taco Bell Chihuahua, now the old Cracker Barrel cracker.

Dean Jones, our nation turns its lonely eyes to you.

Don't give up, @JDHillFan! You can do it!

Heaven forbid a company try to skew younger, as in 40s and 50s in place of 70s and 80s. It may be fake nostalgia, but it's our fake nostalgia!

No, he's supposed to nominate them, then according to the constitution the (Republican) Senate is supposed to confirm them. If you'd been paying attention in middle school Civics you'd know that. That's what the article is about. But hey, nice work, "Cynical Publius." You exposed Tarheel's ignorance.

Get your measles shot before taking your annual winter vacation in northern Alberta.

Per Capita distribution of Mennonites by province.

Wow, with “winning” like that we all be just a little poorer just a little sooner.

n.b., I predicted this.

In other words, you didn’t know Sweden is not a significant oil producer.

I think you already know the answer to your final question here ....

Dammit, the symbol of British if-it's-not-leaking-it-must-be-empty engineering has gone the way of Bud Light.

Anecdata. Something bad happened after someone got a COVID shot. Not only no proof of a causal link, but it also ignores the fact that actually getting COVID had known serious adverse health consequences. Complete inability to think like a rational person.

What is this "miscarriage" of which she speaks? It must be something new. Never heard of it before COVID vaccines. That proves it. Abortion shot.

Remind me: did they reinstate Gen Mikhail Flynn's security clearance?

And yet you read it, and saw fit to respond. Joke's on you, sucker!

I sure hope they perform before the homoerotic display scheduled for the 250th Birthday of the Good Old USA! https://www.thedailybeast.com/is-ultimate-fighting-gay/

Even this Never Trumper has to admit that sometimes he has a point. The Smithsonian museums have descended into Museums of Woke Culture. Enough about the horrors of slavery! We should at least have an exhibit about how modern-day Mississippi is quite a lot nicer than modern-day Guinea. Likewise, I went to the Holocaust Museum. It opens with a display of the shoes of concentration camp victims, the sheer immensity of the display making its point in the way that a mere number on a wall can't. But where are the shoes of the Germans who suffered economic deprivation at the hands of the allies? Where are the displays showing the technological advancements of the National Socialist era? The VW, finally making cars affordable for the masses? The rocket technology? The eye-color changing genetics research of Dr. Mengele? I found the whole museum a bit depressing, and a whole lot one-sided. There really wasn't enough about the American heroism and, of course, the heroism of our friends the Russians. I would like to see the entire focus changed from one of victimology to one of triumphalism. Hell, just call it the Trump Museum of Winning. At least we could make some money in the gift shop that way.

Same here. Maybe it's because we had note just the Sabres but the Braves too to distract us a bit, or maybe it's because Buffalo was a little less provincial back in the day? I was back in WNY early this summer and I have to admit that level of Bills devotion just seemed a little extreme for a dead time in the football calendar ...

Gotta admit that was sneaky good

Be best.

That Melania letter is underrated. I really think she struck a chord in Putin's ten-sizes-too-small heart. Someday we'll look back at that as the turning point. Imagine if Barack Obama had had Sasha and Malia write Putin a Christmas card. Crimea would still be free Ukraine. But that's where Trump is a master negotiator and Obama, Biden, Bush, hell, even JFK were rank amateurs. Did any of them ever sell steaks?
