We Are Very Sorry To Hear About RFK Jr.'s Brain Worm And Mercury Poisoning
Holy god, this poor bastard has a medical history that makes him sound like one of Magellan's sailors.

The New York Times took a deep dive on Tuesday into the medical history of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., whose raison d'etre as a presidential candidate is primarily based on crazy-assed Do Your Own Research vaccine denialism and the fact that the two major candidates are older than he is and, therefore, not up to the job, cognitively. Judging from the Times story, RFKJ needs to find himself some new raisons d'etre tout suite.
Several doctors noticed a dark spot on the younger Mr. Kennedy’s brain scans and concluded that he had a tumor, he said in a 2012 deposition reviewed by The New York Times. Mr. Kennedy was immediately scheduled for a procedure at Duke University Medical Center by the same surgeon who had operated on his uncle, he said.
While packing for the trip, he said, he received a call from a doctor at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital who had a different opinion: Mr. Kennedy, he believed, had a dead parasite in his head. The doctor believed that the abnormality seen on his scans “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died,” Mr. Kennedy said in the deposition.
Well, that sounds awful.
For decades, Mr. Kennedy suffered from atrial fibrillation, a common heartbeat abnormality that increases the risk of stroke or heart failure. He has been hospitalized at least four times for episodes, although in an interview with The Times this winter, he said he had not had an incident in more than a decade and believed the condition had disappeared.
About the same time he learned of the parasite, he said, he was also diagnosed with mercury poisoning, most likely from ingesting too much fish containing the dangerous heavy metal, which can cause serious neurological issues. “I have cognitive problems, clearly,” he said in the 2012 deposition. “I have short-term memory loss, and I have longer-term memory loss that affects me.”
Mr. Kennedy said he was then subsisting on a diet heavy on predatory fish, notably tuna and perch, both known to have elevated mercury levels. In the interview with The Times, he said that he had experienced “severe brain fog” and had trouble retrieving words. Mr. Kennedy, an environmental lawyer who has railed against the dangers of mercury contamination in fish from coal-fired power plants, had his blood tested. He said the tests showed his mercury levels were 10 times what the Environmental Protection Agency considers safe.
Brainworms? Poisoned fish? Holy Lord, this poor bastard has a medical history that makes him sound like one of Magellan's sailors. How did he avoid scurvy?
It's easy to assume that the latter condition has played a serious role in his entire public life. His effort to clean up the country's rivers concentrated heavily on the threat posed by mercury byproducts from coal-fired power plants. And, of course, his vaccine denialism began as a crusade against the mercury-based vaccine preservative Thiomersal, which was in fact removed from use by the Food and Drug Administration. Kennedy attached himself to the phantom threat of the preservative as a causal agent for autism, which discredited his warnings about mercury in vaccines generally.
His medical history is now a legitimate topic for political discussion because he chose to engage in long-distance diagnoses of the president. Every one of his verbal stumbles and every moment of public forgetfulness is going to be counted against his fitness for office because that's the field on which he's chosen to compete. Personally now, I think he should stop with the YouTube calisthenics and the TikTok iron-pumping and accept the fact that he's not that much younger than the president is.
The brain worm must have changed its diet and migrated to RFK Jr's larynx which is an 'all you can eat' organ.

How Tennessee Became the Poster State for Political Meltdown
"Tennessee and guns, now that school shooting in Nashville is old news, time to arm the teachers.
The Volunteer State was long defined by its unique culture. Then came toxic redistricting, poisoned social media, parties polarized on race and other pathologies.

Jonathan Martin is POLITICO’s politics bureau chief and senior political columnist. His
reported column chronicles the inside conversation and big-picture trends shaping politics.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Standing in the sun outside Tennessee’s Capitol Monday afternoon, and hoisting a sign that had the words “thoughts and prayers” crossed out in red, Karen Carter explained why she drove nearly two hours from her hometown of Lawrenceburg, Tenn., to confront most anybody who looked like they could be a lawmaker.
“We look like tin-pot dictators in this state and it pisses me off as a citizen of this state,” Carter said, alluding to the Republican expulsion of a pair of Democratic state representatives last week. “I’m angry and I’m embarrassed, and I’m humiliated.”
She was something else, too, though: nostalgic.
“The state would swing left-right, left-right, Republican-Democrat, Republican-Democrat,” Carter recalled about Tennessee’s political tradition, before turning away from me and raising her voice toward a group of official-looking people in suits headed into the Capitol who perhaps could address gun violence: “Guys, think about the children!”
The day after Easter was gorgeous here, a city that knows from both Christianity and renewal. Every trip I make seems to bring more cranes, more scooters, just a few food trucks shy of being indistinguishable from Austin.
The weather and Bird-riding tourists, however, masked what has been a searing spring in Tennessee, a horrific school shooting in Nashville that begot days of protest and the stunning defrocking of a pair of young, Black lawmakers who carried those demonstrations, bullhorn in hand, onto the floor of the House chamber.
This turn of events has yanked this future-focused city back to the present and the past and, for the state and the country, spotlighted what Tennessee was and what it has become.
To some, the echoes are evocative of Jim Crow, as white leaders suppress Black agency and a multiracial group of next-generation activists respond with hymns, marches and Black Power salutes that would recall Diane Nash and Stokely Carmichael were it not for all the iPhones.
Tense scenes as Tennessee House votes on expelling three Dems
However, for people like Carter, and some in Tennessee’s leadership ranks, these new days of political rage only remind them of what the state had been more recently: a model of competition and competence.
Today, Tennessee represents the grim culmination of the forces corroding state politics: the nationalization of elections and governance, the tribalism between the two parties, the collapse of local media and internet-accelerated siloing of news and the incentive structure wrought by extreme gerrymandering. Also, if we’re being honest, the transition from pragmatists anchored in their communities to partisans more fixated on what’s said online than at their local Rotary Club.
That this convergence is taking place here for all the world to see is sadly ironic.
From 1970 to 2018, Tennessee traded the governorship between the two parties. In fact, Gov. Bill Lee is the first GOP governor in the state’s history to succeed another GOP governor. In those same years, Tennessee sent a succession of lawmakers to Washington who emerged as national leaders, effective local politicians or both, a bipartisan litany that includes Howard Baker, Al Gore, Lamar Alexander, Jim Sasser and Bill Frist.
The state’s tripartite nature — what they call the three Grand Divisions — between East, Middle and West Tennessee demanded coalition-building. The sheer width of the state, stretching from Appalachia to the Cotton South, meant the presence of a robust Republican Party descending from Unionists, long preexisting 20th century realignment, alongside an equally strong Democratic Party that absorbed rural white voters and big-city Black voters alike. There were moderates and conservatives within both parties.
Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.), today the longest-serving House member in the delegation, helped father Tennessee’s lottery as a state senator in the early 2000s, no easy task in the Bible Belt.
“I sat on the Republican side of the aisle, nurtured them, worked with them and eventually got six or seven of them to vote for the lottery,” Cohen recalled. “They were my friends.”
The coalition that backed the lottery, which has poured over $8 billion into education funding, reflected the state’s political makeup: There were Black lawmakers, a few moderate Republicans, an exurban conservative who knew her Nashville area constituents wanted more money for schools and a rural conservative Democrat who was nudged along with the promise of some road projects by the state’s Republican governor, Don Sundquist, who signed the bill. That exurban conservative was Marsha Blackburn and the rural Democrat was Lincoln Davis, both of whom would join Cohen in Congress.
Through this period, Tennessee was drawing international attention for its success luring auto companies to the state, a bipartisan effort that transformed the state’s agriculture-heavy economy and is well told in Keel Hunt’s “Crossing the Aisle .. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0826522394/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1681268427&ref_=tmm_hrd_swatch_0&sr=8-2 .”
The success and the leadership became self-reinforcing.
Alexander, now retired in Tennessee and writing his memoir of service from Presidents Richard Nixon to Donald Trump, reminded me of how it was that a heart surgeon and Nashville scion named Frist gave up medicine for politics.
“I asked him why he’d give that up,” Alexander remembered. “He said, ‘I can fly to Chattanooga, cut a heart out and maybe save one person, but if I’m senator I might be able to help a million people.’ And thanks to what he did with George W. Bush on PEPFAR he did just that. So we had a competitive system that attracted really talented people with purpose.”
Which isn’t to say the Tennessee volunteers of yesteryear were all statespeople whose like we won’t see again. This being politics and humans being all too fallible, there were ample sins of the bottle, flesh and purse. If the Sheraton still towering over the state Capitol could talk, well, it wouldn’t be telling stories of public-spirited, bipartisan bonhomie. Take, for example, how Alexander became governor in the first place: by being sworn in early after the outgoing Democrat, Ray Blanton, was found to be selling pardons. Then, more recently, there was the FBI sting Operation Tennessee Waltz (how’s that for a mission name?) that netted seven lawmakers for accepting bribes.

The old boys were also, well, old boys. There’s yet to be a female governor here,
and racial minorities have been all too scarce outside the state’s large cities.
What there was, though, was competition and accountability.
Statewide races were hotly contested, as were many legislative and congressional campaigns and, with the right conditions, moderate Southern Democrats could carry the state in presidential races (or fall achingly short).
And accountability came from middle-of-the-road voters, business leaders invested in Tennessee’s success and a robust press corps, led by the two-newspaper towns across the state.
That was then.
Now, the voters are confined to safely red or blue districts and are animated by the same partisan impulses down the ballot that have made Tennessee a deep-red state in federal races. Candidate quality, cyclical changes in the economy and local issues are moot, at least when compared to party label.
“We don’t have elections anymore, we have censuses,” Jeff Yarbro lamented.
A state senator from Nashville, Yarbro, 46, grew up a farmer’s son in rural West Tennessee before picking up degrees at Harvard and the University of Virginia. He’s precisely the sort of Southern Democrat who in earlier generations would have run for governor by now. That’s no longer an option given Tennessee’s tilt, so, disheartened by what the Legislature has become, he’s leaving to run for mayor this year.
That may be the only other office left given that through redistricting Tennessee Republicans “cracked” the Democratic-heavy congressional seat anchored in Nashville, splitting the state capital into three, GOP-heavy seats.
This has been well-documented. What’s been less covered is how the Republican majority did much the same in state legislative seats across smaller cities. Yarbro is now the farthest-east Democratic senator in the state. In fact, there’s six Senate Democrats left in the 33-member chamber: three from Nashville and three from Memphis.
One of them is the Senate Democratic leader, Raumesh Akbari, who’s not yet 40 and has great promise but is setting her sights on succeeding Cohen in the lone remaining U.S. House seat held by a Democrat.
“I’d prefer my district be more competitive,” Akbari told me, noting that it’s 89 percent African American. It would be hard enough for a Black woman to win statewide, but it’s made even more difficult when she hails from a nearly all-Black seat and is therefore easy to portray as a representative for only her community. (This is why, in hindsight, Bobby Rush may have done Barack Obama a favor by thrashing him in the 2000 primary for Rush’s heavily Black Chicago House seat.)
Race is an inescapable factor in the current contretemps here, but it wasn’t until after Obama’s presidential election in 2008 that it became as defining to Tennessee politics as it is now.
There were rural white Democrats in the Legislature, and the congressional delegation included Davis, Bart Gordon and John Tanner. None of the three lawmakers returned after 2010, and gerrymandering and realignment eventually killed off nearly all their contemporaries in the state Capitol.
“In a lot of folks’ minds here, it made the Democratic Party Black,” Akbari said of Obama’s victory and the image of a Black family in the White House.
Memphis had long been to Tennessee what Chicago is to Illinois and New Orleans is to Louisiana: the heavily Black, ethically flexible big city that conservative candidates ran against but had to be watched on election nights because the size of their vote could determine elections. Cohen told me he used to host legislative visits in Memphis, replete with a night at the famed Peabody Hotel and plenty of ribs, to show lawmakers the city had assets worthy of state dollars and wasn’t the crime-ridden den of iniquity they may have imagined.
What’s striking today is that Nashville has become as much of a pariah as Memphis. Tennessee Republicans have for years been watching the city become Austin-ized, and the fuse was finally lit when city leaders spurned the state’s hope (and the RNC’s preference) to hold the 2024 Republican Convention in Nashville.
In addition to erasing the city’s congressional seat, legislative Republicans have also sought to halve the size of the metro government’s council (Nashville and Davidson County have a merged government) and shift control of the city’s convention authority and airport from the city to the state. They’re the kind of power plays the state’s Republicans used to, understandably, rage about when they were done by the state Legislature’s old Democratic leaders.
VIDEO - Expelled lawmaker says Tennessee House will retaliate if he’s reinstated
And that was before thousands of Nashville area residents and their children descended on the Capitol demanding new gun control laws in the wake of last month’s mass shooting, which prompted the floor protests and expulsion of state Reps. Justin Jones from Nashville and Justin Pearson from Memphis.
Nearly overlooked in the hurly-burly was, fittingly, a Twitter exchange between the GOP House speaker, Cameron Sexton, and a Democratic rival. Sexton posted video of the protesting lawmakers on the House floor, putting John Lewis’ catch phrase “good trouble” in quotation marks, and adding the accounts of local talk radio stations, the conservative Daily Wire and Fox News. When a Democrat replied by adding the Twitter accounts of CNN, a handful of local, Democratic-leaning websites and Resistance hero Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), Sexton replied to her, this time with more conservative accounts cc’d.
It was a revealing look at what passes for online discourse, the role of dueling (local and national) partisan media outlets and the fixation with Twitter on the part of lawmakers. There’s still a handful of excellent local reporters whom I’ve read and followed for years, but those two-newspaper towns have long died and Gannett has done grave damage to nearly every major daily in Tennessee.
Information is gleaned from social media or national cable networks. “Everywhere you go, all you see is Fox News,” said Tanner, the old West Tennessee Democrat.
Republicans also lament how social media has warped the political culture.
“When you’re in Nashville, it’s all you hear,” said Johnny Garrett, a GOP state representative, of the faculty club-style chatter on Twitter. But Garrett noted how his colleagues often tell him that when they’re back in their districts “they don’t hear a lot that stuff, the social media.”
This tunnel vision is part of what convinced the Republicans they had to take such an extreme step last week. Bill Haslam, a former GOP governor, told me he was struck by how even some pragmatic Republican lawmakers were scared for their lives because of the protests and convinced they had to show strength.
“They told me ‘You don’t understand,’” Haslam said.
In fact, it was the GOP legislators who didn’t understand how badly their retribution looked outside their cloakrooms, which is all the more apparent now that the two Justins are being hailed as martyrs and reinstated this week by their local governing bodies.
What’s more depressing to leaders like Haslam, a pragmatic governor in the East Tennessee Republican tradition, is the response he and his predecessor as governor, Democrat Phil Bredesen, received when they wrote a joint op-ed in The Tennessean advocating for some incremental gun safety measures.
Garrett told me hadn’t even read it (though he did see the headline), and once one aspiring Republican candidate for governor — Knox County mayor and pro wrestler turned Ron Paul acolyte Glenn Jacobs — rejected the proposal, other ambitious Republicans followed suit, surely mindful of their viability in future primaries.
Haslam, I’m told by Republicans and Democrats alike, has been calling state lawmakers, urging them to work together on the gun issue and counseling restraint in the partisan wars.
Which until Tuesday was more than the current governor had done. Lee has been stunningly quiet as his state suffers tragedy and a self-inflicted black eye. A first-time elected official when he became governor in 2019, Lee has made a constitutionally weak governorship that much more limited by keeping an arm’s length from the press and largely deferring to a Legislature ever more animated by culture wars.
VIDEO -- Tennessee's Republican governor calls for tougher gun laws
Haslam was careful to show respect to his successor, “one governor at a time,” and said Lee was eager to act. The governor didn’t say a word about the expulsions, but he finally addressed the gun issue Tuesday in Nashville, vowing to sign an executive order tightening background checks and urging lawmakers to pass the sort of red flag law proposed by Haslam and Bredesen that would make it harder for dangerous people to access guns.
Remarkably, none of the state’s major corporate actors have publicly pushed Lee to try to calm the state’s political waters.
Not that doing so may matter, given what drives today’s legislators — talk radio and the internet — said Cohen.
“Some of them wouldn’t even know who Fred Smith is,” he quipped, referring to the CEO of FedEx, one of Tennessee’s leading employers.
To Alexander, a protégé of Baker and mentor to so many Republicans in the state, it’s difficult to watch. That’s in part because he’s been alarmed about his state party’s drift since well before last week.
In farewell remarks he was to give to the state Legislature in 2020 before Covid-19 interrupted his plans, he planned to tell the lawmakers that competition produces results and a lack of it can be corrosive.
“One-party rule runs the risk of encouraging self-serving, narrow interests,” he was to tell the legislators according to a speech draft he shared with me. Do not, he was to warn, “adopt Washington, D.C.’s bad manners.”

We too said it back then, still -- Opinion It’s time to say it: The conservatives on the Supreme Court lied to us all
"Why? Free speech. SCOTUS says it's ok to lie -- period."
By Paul Waldman | December 3, 2021 at 2:01 p.m. EST
Then-President Donald Trump walks out with Amy Coney Barrett after announcing her
nomination to the Supreme Court in September 2020.
(Jabin Botsford/The Washington Post)
They lied.
Yes, I’m talking about the conservative justices on the Supreme Court, and the abortion rights those justices have now made clear they will eviscerate.
They weren’t just evasive, or vague, or deceptive. They lied. They lied to Congress and to the country, claiming they either had no opinions at all about abortion, or that their beliefs were simply irrelevant to how they would rule. They would be wise and pure, unsullied by crass policy preferences, offering impeccably objective readings of the Constitution.
It. Was. A. Lie.
We went through the same routine in the confirmation hearings of every one of those justices. When Democrats tried to get them to state plainly their views on Roe v. Wade, they took two approaches. Some tried to convince everyone that they would leave it untouched. Others, those already on record proclaiming opposition to abortion rights, suggested they had undergone a kind of intellectual factory reset enabling them to assess the question anew with an unspoiled mind, one concerned only with the law.
Unfortunately, that lie was and is still enabled by the news media. Even in the face of what we saw at the court on Wednesday — when at least five of the six conservatives made clear their intention to overturn Roe — press accounts continued offering euphemisms and weasel words, about “inconsistencies” or “contradictions.”
AUDIO - Kavanaugh presents counter-argument that the Supreme Court should be ‘neutral’ on abortion 2:07
During oral arguments on Dec. 1, Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh argued that the “other side” thinks
the court should leave abortion rights to each state. (Video: The Washington Post)
But sometimes the right puts its purposes in the open. There was a particularly striking exchange between Laura Ingraham and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) on Fox News, where Ingraham grew inexplicably enraged ..
.. over the mere possibility that Roe might not be overturned.Just saying it out in the open.
— Justin Baragona (@justinbaragona) December 2, 2021
Laura Ingraham says it's time to "blow it up" if "these six justices cannot do the right thing" by overturning Roe v. Wade after "all the money that has been raised" and "these big fat cat dinners."

As newmedman just said again, it's tough to toss her. I don't have anything to add to:
Guess he knows how difficult it is recuse a judge and doesn't want to lose one. I wonder, has he used
that safety valve he set up where if she made a terrible decision then he could.... do something i forget.
What Does the Law Say About Recusing Judge Cannon?
... out a bit here ..
[...]There are two statutes that require federal district court judges to recuse themselves in cases where they might be biased or reasonably have their impartiality questioned, but such statutes have been interpreted narrowly and usually refer only to judges’ personal connections to cases. Therefore, having Cannon recused based on her history and perception of bias is a difficult task.
[...]Unless Judge Cannon decides to voluntarily recuse, the high bar for requesting recusal based only on prior judicial decisions, and the procedure for requesting recusal, makes the task of having Cannon recused seem almost impossible. Although the Eleventh Circuit has been quick to overturn Cannon’s questionable rulings in the past, forcing Cannon’s recusal here would be a significant departure from prior precedent. For these reasons, it appears unlikely that the prosecution would pursue recusal at the district court level and will prepare to conduct a trial with a judge who may be kinder to President Trump than some other judges. However, this does not mean recusal is irrelevant. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=173822685
.. it's in with others of some relevance here .. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=174145477
it's very hard to get a judge removed from a case. There needs to be absolute proof of prejudice, not just incompetency and if the prosecution heads down that path, the whole case could implode. Don't think that the appellate court isn't watching either.
It isn't any secret that the brooklyn bronze boy is getting favor. When he loses the election, then the gloves come off. Sad but true.
Which leads to a very simple layman's question... why is she still on the trial?
Like 90% of the legal community have all said what she is doing is totally wrong and suspicious.
Why .... is.... she.... still..... on .... the.... bench?
The defense are not lawyers... they are delay specialists. They have not defended their client whatsoever.
And she came back with her incredulous jury instructions again?
P - In Thursday’s ruling, Cannon also defended an order from last month that asked lawyers for both sides to formulate potential jury instructions and to respond to two different scenarios in which she appeared to be continuing to entertain Trump’s presidential records argument.
lol no problem. That show produced more belly laughs in me than I ever needed. It will never get old.

hookrider, you're one of the coolest people who posts on this board. Along with many others, you have so much real-word experience, it's mind boggling. Keep on keeping on.❣️
Deportation or Nikki? I'm sure 100% of undocumented immigrants decided not to vote. MAGAS are idiots.
damn hookrider, are you sure you're not batman?

LOL yep, he canvassed 1000 undocumented immigrants and found that they all risked their citizenship hopes to vote for tricky Nikki...

I really don't get it with them. I guess I might just be a bit more open about us all as a whole but they have some really weird obsessions...
I'm sure B4 has a poll on that.
You seem really obsessed with swinging dicks and where they belong.
And hap is unnaturally obsessed with rape. These MAGA men have unusual sexually proclivities and it's so weird.
I've been in some major scary chair lifts but that was a long time ago, before heights started to bother me. Now it's just gondolas and you can sit in whatever direction that you want.
rooster, Not at all. You do know no one here is afraid of the truth. You know that.
Ah yes. That was a good one!
VOTERS will remember the Dobbs decision, as they have in every special election that the GOP has lost on that issue.
That is true...
LOL DD a real firefighter, experienced real danger. We not and didn't. Were just lucky to meet a good American guy, there. Heh, no, can't imagine an airline doing it now. And you were much younger then too. He was great, didn't just fly us to the fire, but gave us a bit of a roller-coaster ride on the way.
Apples are better.
Helicopters are kind of cool depending on what you're riding in. I've been in solid ones that are military style and those are kind of neat but I've also been in tourist trap flights where the only thing between me, the machine and the ground was some glorified canvas. They are extremely loud and the only way to communicate is through a headset..
I don't mind flying but a couple of those trips were, in my view, unnecessary. I spent more time being nervous than taking in the sights.
I've never never been on a big mountain lift , just the little crappy hills we have around here but I honestly thought I could bail at anytime and be fine. The snow was only about ten feet down at most and wouldn't have been any worse than me attempting some stupid stunts on the way down.
Reminds me of the Missouri nutter who said women could prevent pregnancy by placing an aspirin.....between their knees; assuring the reelection of Clair McCaskill.
And the US is the only country where teachers have to buy their own school supplies.

Um, gee, thanks. Didn't know. ps: just role playing what could be a much better conix.
They don’t think that at all of Trump in fact they love him
Why because you’re scared they’ll fight for the truth as well
Agree totally. The "Autocorrect " i had once years ago didn't last
one day. Little else has become so annoying in such short a time.
Wow! You and DD have a lot in common.
Actually, I've been in a helicopter once....before I got scared of flying and winding roads. I was going back to college and the airline screwed up the ticket. They had to helicopter my friend and me from LaGuardia to Kennedy so we could make the flight. From what I remember it was very cool, but can you imagine an airline doing something like that now?
For sure it's certified, and will do when the opportunity arises. I could have slipped in the link to your actual post too, may fix that next time. It was good of you to think of hookrider, here
"The GOP is a veritable grad course in 'Unintended Consequences', from the shit heel blind ideologue policies of the GOP to the Taliban SCOTUS's disastrous, for GOP electoral prospects and women's reproductive health, abortion rights decision.
P - It's as though Trump supporters have a cognitive deficit that prevents them from asking 'if we do this, what then can we reasonably expect to follow?' Not, 'what do we hope will happen?' Not 'what do we believe will happen?' But what do REASON and human nature suggest will happen?
P - Long story short f'k all republicans.😏"
LOL was thinking that. I've only been in a helicopter twice, once in Alaska when a generous firefighting guy in the between the actual border zone of Canada and USA gave two of us a job fighting a fire still alight just above the permafrost level. Clever fires up there even stay alight under snow.
Muchly disappeared. Finally woke up a little perhaps. Pun intended.

A forum to present, discuss, debate and lampoon matters of interest great and small, including matters political.
A place to share, and preserve, all manner of information, speculation, analysis, commentary, opinion and humor.
Include source links when available.
All points of view are welcome here; a progressive, "reality-based" point of view is well represented here.
Only specific investing/trading discussions are, as such, off-topic here, banished to other good homes on iHub.
More general discussions of business and economic matters, including the markets, are in bounds and fair game.
Beyond specific investing/trading discussions, there are no forbidden topics here.
Strong language understood and tolerated in context, as in a pertinent quoted source or for a sincere emphasis.
Avoid gratuitous usages; avoid regular or routine use.
Heated arguments understood and tolerated in context, so long as they remain focused primarily on points at issue.
Avoid gratuitous taunting and baiting; avoid initiating personal spats; don't just troll.
