And the executive branch? And the cabinet? And their underlings? And all their families? Almost like there's a conflict of interest, and insider trading is actual theft from a counterparty?

Unlike Penn and Teller most of the time, I was fooled. My guess was The Freedom Report, but on reflection, your quoted article was probably too moderate for Ron.

We've met before, good sir. Great to see you still punish as well as elucidate.

Yep. In the garage... felt like the front row of superb theater.

The finale gripped like a gila monster's jaws on my amygdala. Those 11 minutes in the garage were searing. Ineffable superb.

Pete's example of having some/a mere few of the names of the children killed is a minuscule representative sample.

The Dept. of Injustice witch hunt is abetted by the corrupt Congress to crucify non-T-supplicants. Smith, James, Comey, etc. If Fauci misspoke even slightly, or gave a complex answer, they'd distort, parse, and prosecute him for perjury. Any sane lawyer would tell him to 5th. youtu.be/d-7o9xYp7eE

Read their lips, Tom... "No, new..." wassat he said? Or: Y'see, there was this up and coming prezidential frontrunner who liked deep-sea fishing. A NYT reporter asked, "Where ya been?"... "put a tail on me, go ahead", "You'll be bored."

"I'd seen all I needed to see, and I wrote For What It's Worth on the way back. It reminded me of the politics of fear, like we're doing today. Riot is a ridiculous name. It was a funeral for Pandora's Box. But it looked like a revolution." Stephen Stills on why he wrote it: tinyurl.com/yn6crsd3

Mark, you're more than smart enough to know the word is elastic, contextual, and begs a [fun/deep] discussion of so many elements. Economics, governance/politics, resources, forecasting, law, and... how 'bout them Knicks? Next time you're in Manhattan, a cup o' joe? You won't be bored; my treat.

So glad to see you again, Prof. Missed your wisdom, sagacity, musical openness [ still leaning to female vocalists, are we?], and of course, indomitably, your punnage; from the [sweet, never debauched] puerile to the profoundly prodigious pinnacle. As re above, remember: youtu.be/6ABgYw24hEk?...

Speaking of mustard: You're too young to remember this ad from '81, professor. Today, it'd be filmed with a superyacht pulling up to another superyacht.. It's still a good mustard, though. youtu.be/tvDazrJuSdA

@radiofreetom.bsky.social Vaughn, Tom abjures unserious people. Combined with your resolute (un)(in)-curiosity, amply displayed by pestering him for explanations of his perspective(s), already published for years in books, articles, and interviews ad infinitum...seems a bit... um...disingenuous.

Thanks so much for reposting this essential article, Trish. Anyone can learn *even strong swimmers should know* this lifesaving skill in the water in 2 minutes. Even non-swimmers. It's the easiest, least energy-draining form of survival swimming. Also works in the ocean. youtu.be/aZ7I5BrPQl0

Notwithstanding Elton John's complete book and inimitable brilliance, verified intelligence community reports state irrefutably. All foreign agents of any government have cracked, whimpering "No more, please...", and answered all questions after forced-listening to the chorus of Crocodile Rock.

The Tholian Web was good as of its time. The mighty Enterprise stilled, stunned like that poor sap who got the pufferfish venom, only to be soon dissected by Michael Gerard. The slow realization that it WAS a web, and was going to tighten beyond escape, mimicked spiders' wrapping their prey.

Huge agree. Watching that last episode, disconsolate that it'd not been renewed, its cheesiness was the inverse of Monty Python's Cheese Shop sketch. Where there was no cheese. Should've brought back Roger C. Carmel. Mudd forever.
