Some bonds are callable and some are not. Fine print.

I'm thinking the Bonneville Salt Flats. But they have to stay on the salt -- no foraging outside of their new home.

Last time I saw Prager he was tooling down Walgrove (Santa Monica) in some luxury sedan. I guess it's good to be one of the common clay of rural America.

Dennis Prager is what you'd get if you soaked Mormon underwear in light mayo and let the resulting mold evolve during a podcast about Christopher Cross deep cuts.

There are probably parts of that "country" where slavery is still practiced - if not actually legal.

And yet we have to listen to the folks in eastern Washington complain incessantly that most of the public transportation money stays over here, where the population is. Not that any of them would ever step on public transit if they were paid.

You misspelled 'Hollyweird', I think.

Stephen, chef’s kiss for the Obsolete Man reference. The Twilight zone was at its best when it starred either Burgess Meredith or Jack Klugman. It’s a shame the two never did an episode together.

It’s been often said that Newt Gingrich is a stupid person’s idea of a smart person. Paul Ryan is Newt Gingrich’s idea of a smart person. This is a guy who once tried to pass a “budget” with no numbers in it. And yet he had half the country convinced he was a policy wonk and a “numbers guy.” A sound bite was too complex of a policy position for him.

George S asked Paul Ryan one Sunday to explain his healthcare plan. He kept repeating "you don't really want me to explain it to you, do you? It's very complicated." If you can't explain your own plan, you either don't have a plan, or it's very stupid.

I'd give them 5 states, just to get rid of them.

In my deep red state, they want to ONLY let old people vote by mail. FUCK THAT! If I've got to stand on line, so do elderly Republicans.

I'd settle for dividing the country as East and West coasts combined in one country called "USA" and all the rest of the middle of the country being in Jesusistan. They can live their libertarian wet dreams, and the rest of us can have a nice country.

Whenever Texas threatens to secede, I think "don't threaten me with a good time." The GQP would NEVER win another election without TX.

Wrangle the crazy into 5 states, and let the rest of the country be normal again is my plan.
