When I was in college in the mid-1970s I played rugby. After we played a Canadian team, we had a kegger and one of the players started a chant, "Teeth! Teeth! Teeth!". As they chanted the team passed around a cup of beer and the Canadian players dropped their dentures in it. Rugby is a tough game.

Costco also promotes from within. Several people in this thread have suggested that the CEO of Costco is overpaid. Considering that when he started he drove a forklift and worked his way up, he's probably earned that salary. You'll find some MBAs at Costco hauling carts in lots hoping to move up.

I'm always amazed that the American people don't realize how LBJ transformed the country. Yes, there was Viet Nam. But we're living in the Great Society, the one the GOP keeps trying to destroy.

Or to a tank fight. The Dems, if they take back either or both houses, and if we're not already under martial law, should make oversight and removal of Hegseth the first priority.

Does the GOP attract more than their share of pedos and rapists? A lot of them are evangelicals who ask for God's forgiveness and God tells them they're good with Him. I wonder if it ever occurs to them that hearing voices telling you "It's OK" is a little less Son of God and a lot more Son of Sam?

So well-said. So true. So moving. When someone in a rural community says they don't know any LGBT+ people, tell them it's because their community has turned their back on the vulnerable and those people have found greener pastures in the urban canyons of metropolitan America.

"I have known every Israeli prime minister since Golda Meir, who famously catapulted me to stardom after I read her mind..." Somehow, having a world-famous huckster and con-man endorsing Netanyahu is so on brand that I expect he'll run a jailhouse endorsement ad from Elizabeth Holmes next.

30 days from now, we have a chance to course-correct, to steer the ship of state away from the reefs of madness that loom ahead. It will be a slow turn, with engines full astern, and it'll take a while to slow the momentum that's driven us toward the shoals, but we can't let democracy run aground.

They need a category for the working poor, especially those who earn below the poverty level. With so many people scraping by or not making enough to survive, these raw numbers mean nothing. And some of these jobs are held by people who also work at another job.

"officers tried to contact the men she accused, with varying degrees of success, according to the administrative documents." This leapt out at me. It's a university in a small town. From those named in the lawsuit, she knew who they were. How varied can their success be? Didn't they have classes?

There's a line in Sidney Lumet's film, "Night Falls on Manhattan", where Ron Liebman, who is terrific as a Jewish DA, delivers a line about "the party of my people", meaning the Dems. Fetterman seems to be gravitating toward the GOP, the party of his rich white privileged people.
