Name one war where the attacked country was expected to react with a “proportional “ response. One. Ever
Let me point out that Gaza is not a "country". It is part of Israel. Before all this began on 7 October, most people in Gaza weren't part of Hamas. But what's happened since has, I'm afraid, guaranteed that they will be going forward.
Just as well, I think.
Um, did you name any of your kids after Disney characters?
Good question. Sometimes people ask them, and they don't seem to have an answer.
LOL!! I wouldn't go that far...
Yes, adding a paper towel in addition to drying everything out would be a good idea.
My GOD. She sounds beyond awful.
And who would name a child "Echo"? That's just mean.
Thank you very much!
Something that puzzles me... It seems that in recent times this "Appeal to Heaven" flag is a thing promoted by evangelicals like MAGA Mike. But aren't the Alitos Catholic?
I store them in the bag, too. Every few days I take them out and turn the bag inside out so the dry side is inside. Then I dry off the onions--or let them sit out of the fridge until they're dry--and put them back in the bag and the fridge.
If they were nice and fresh when I bought them, they'll last much longer than four days. More like two weeks.
Yes. Very thin-skinned. Nasty, in fact. I wonder how well his fellow justices get on with him.
I doubt Alito considers it "devastating", and since the Dems don't control the House, I doubt it'll go anywhere.
Yes. FAFO.
I only read the memoir, not his novels. I don't think he was ever suited to be head of the FBI.
He seems to think he can make things happen.
Penzey's is great. And very supportive of Dems.
Yes. I wonder if we'll hear dark mutterings from the Alitos about Google Street View.
The problem with MMRF was not naked shorting.
He's an odd person. I read the memoir he wrote after he was fired. He's a good writer; probably his new career is a good choice. I think he's always been a sort of Hamlet figure, overthinking everything.
The Pinetree flag is less familiar, so I'm not surprised nobody picked up on it, or thought it was worth reporting. But I'm amazed that none of the people who saw the upside down flag in the days following J6 said anything. Apparently there are both Dems and Republicans in the neighborhood.
I wonder if Alito's aways been a problematic neighbor.
Okay. Maybe they'll still be investigating this weekend. It's the start of the season...
Comey is a much more complex character. He does despise Trumpty. And interestingly, he's one of the few male novelists--he writes thrillers--who's chosen to create a female protagonist. Women have been inventing male heroes forever, but it doesn't often work the other way.
I don't know. Yet. Apparently the Times reporters have been interviewing neighbors. Probably they'll be back to talk to more over the holiday weekend.
And now CNN's picked up the story, with a photo:

Of course not. Comey is the former head of the FBI. The one who decided to reopen and then quickly close his investigation into Hillary just a month before the 2016 election, which probably caused her loss.
But then Trumpty fired him.
You must be thinking of James Comer. He would not be capable of writing a novel. I suspect he's barely capable of signing his own name.
fwiw, James Comey is on Nicolle's show, saying that Trump is exactly like a mob boss. And he's pointing out that when Trump makes a threat, he does his best to carry it out.
Comey's there because he's written another novel, and he's doing his book tour.

LOLOLOL!! I've never heard that...
Has it ever occurred to you to buy stock in GOOD companies?
In the Bad, Stupid News department: today Nikki Haley announced that she'll vote for Trumpty.
Though maybe it isn't all bad. I suspect most of the people who've continued to vote for her in Republican primaries will now end up either staying home or voting for Biden.
And who's got a New York Times subscription? Breaking news from them about Alito:
Another Provocative Flag Was Flown at Another Alito Home
The justice’s beach house displayed an “Appeal to Heaven” flag, a symbol carried on Jan. 6 and associated with a push for a more Christian-minded government.
The “Appeal to Heaven” flag flew outside the Alitos’ New Jersey vacation home last summer, along with a “2022” Phillies flag and a Long Beach Island flag.

Last summer, two years after an upside-down American flag was flown outside the Virginia home of Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., another provocative symbol was displayed at his vacation house in New Jersey, according to interviews and photographs.
This time, it was the “Appeal to Heaven” flag, which, like the inverted U.S. flag, was carried by rioters at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Also known as the Pine Tree flag, it dates back to the Revolutionary War, but largely fell into obscurity until recent years and is now a symbol of support for former President Donald J. Trump, for a religious strand of the “Stop the Steal” campaign and for a push to remake American government in Christian terms.
Three photographs obtained by The New York Times, along with accounts from a half-dozen neighbors and passers-by, show that the Appeal to Heaven flag was aloft at the Alito home on Long Beach Island in July and September of 2023. A Google street view image from late August also shows the flag.

That may be all there is; I'm not sure.
Oh, if I take a long nap, I won't be able to get to sleep till dawn. Or later.
I think you're right. AI is already causing a good deal of confusion. And going forward, it will pose dangers.
Because it's educational and fun. The real problem with the junk you want to believe has been shorted naked is dilution. ALWAYS. And almost always, that dilution is caused by managements dependence on toxic lenders.
Oh stop. The SEC's enforcement action against Sabby is pretty much the only thing you have to point to in the past five years or so.
Problems that did exist early in the century were fixed by Reg SHO, which was adopted in 2005 and amended in 2007 and 2011. It works quite well. It has, however, frequently been used as an excuse for the poor performance of junk penny stocks.
Here, the scallions are the skinny ones. When I was a kid, my mother used to like them. She ate them plain, dipped in salt.
I don't remember anything being called "green onions" then. But recently I believed scallions and green onions were different things.
So Trumpty now says he doesn't favor a ban on "birth control or other contraceptives"?? Huh??
But shouldn't the guy in the cartoon have been black? Trumpty said quite explicitly that he's selling the sneakers because they appeal to black people.
As does his mug shot. Fellow-feeling, common experiences, and all that.
That is true.
So I quit with my diatribe about the Safety of AI being the total destruction of humanity as we know it. Now the below just occurred a few days ago.
Ordie, can you find no middle ground between the total destruction of humanity and, say, problems of which we should be aware and make an effort to head off before they become serious?
Now THAT is excellent!!
Good possibility!
I know. And she's selling t-shirts and other themed merch.
