Stubbornness is the deciding factor here, as in most things.

Does this mean we won’t get our Soros checks?

Used my stimulus money to replace my supercool food service grade meat cleaver that was lost in a move.

So sharp I slice tomatoes so thin that you can read through them

This is my favorite line:"... the legal errors underpinning this action manifold."(AHEM! ... not to put too fine a point on it...)

I've never practiced portion control and slowing down WAS hard. I'd usually find something to read and force myself to read a certain amount before taking another bite. Increased chewing also helps. I also don't drink much even socially which I'm sure helps.

I did begin doing stretching and flexing during that time which I still do every morning just to get the blood flowing. It's kind of my version of Yoga or even Pilates with some isolated isometrics during the day.

Are there any "smart" right wingers? I ask in all seriousness, because even the so-called smart ones are pretty fucking stupid.

Per the docket linked to in the article, no attorneys appeared for the defendants (which makes sense as none of them was served). So it would be hard to get attorneys' fees.

At the time, it was a distinction without a difference. We think of Christianity, or indeed, religion, as a cafeteria, but in the sixteeenth century, after Henry's decree, it didn't work like that. He was the head of the church in England. If you were Christian (and you were, as the Jews were expelled centuries before) and English, Henry was the head of your church, and not the pope. The churches that were Catholic the day before were CofE the day of and thereafter. So "being Catholic" was not a matter of "belief", it was a matter of treason, because you weren't agreeing to be subject to the only established religious authority, the King. It was a small step to legislation requiring certain persons to acknowledge that, on pain of death, and thus Paul Scofield got an Oscar.

Complaints are supposed to be written in plain prose. Footnotes are stupid. These are supposed to be assertions to be admitted or denied. How do you deny a footnote?
