"paid family leave, child care, housing improvements and health protections;" And veterans benefits.

OHMYGAWD! If this is the standard for one of the oldest and major institutions in our country, where will it all lead? What are our values today? What will be considered the minimum for a decent job from now on? Who else may have to do this to simply compete for employees ?

I just dunno. I need to sit down. Wait, I am sitting down! Sheeesh!

OT I remember when Dave Barry talked some shit about Grand Forks, and later they named a sewage pump station after him. He went to the dedication. They had fun.

I had all the Mars Attacks bubble gum cards when I was a kid. Fuck baseball cards; baseball is boring. But ray guns and giant insects - they were great. This movie is the only one I know of that's based on baseball cards. It was pretty true to the original as I recall.

I don’t think trump really cares what bases are named, is there anything else in this bill he would hate? Oh right A provision in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), the $741 billion defense bill, will effectively ban anonymous shell companies.

If signed into law, when someone opens a shell corporation, they’ll be required to provide the owner’s name and some basic identifying information. This simple step will give law enforcement and national security officials a powerful tool to crack down on corruption.

what I love about the movie that it captures Jack Arnold-esque mid 50s camp, a little bit of space age, and every b-movie ever.

I'm really hoping that Fort Benning in Georgia gets renamed to Fort Sherman.

I'm with you for renaming Benning for Sherman, but we've had some generals since the Civil War who could also receive some honors - Lee for Grant, Pickett for Pershing, Bragg for Bradley, etc, A.P. Hill for Patton, etc.

Well, if the Republicans have anything to say about it, it'll probably be named Fort Verizon or Fort Pfizer or whoever comes up with the biggest donation to their respective PACs.
