Re: inflation in that bellwether, gas prices. On a site: 'Wolf Street' with a piece about inflation I pointed out that California, not being connected to Texas etc with pipelines, used to import half its crude from foreign countries and half of that (about 25%) came via Straits of Hormuz.
WELL! Quite the explosion from the host. 'The US is the biggest producer of crude in the world! California exports all kinds of refined products, like jet fuel!!
Yes, I tried to continue, but you need crude to refine, and California imports about 25% via the Straits. No dice. I suspect the host is getting a bit frayed, because Wolf Street was a relentless booster of the Trump Tariffs, now declared illegal. Pointing out that the New York Fed AND the CBO had concluded the tariff were paid by US families also produced an explosion. The Fed and CBO did nothing to deter the WS narrative that the EXPORTERS reduced their prices and Walmart etc just cut into their 'excess profits', with the consumer not suffering at all.
Apart from periodic tantrums, the site is not bad. Just don't mention the Straits in yr comments.
If we had a smart opposition party, they'd be talking about extraditing certain people after they're out of power. "But that'd be a death sentence!" "We can't let US citizens be tried by another country!" "It'd set a bad precedent!"
I don't care. We have a bunch of morons who think war crimes are cool, and that they'll never have to answer for their crimes. I think it helps peace negotiations to say "these are the people who made these decisions, deal with them as you wish."
I have to take issue with Mr. Tiedrich's sneer about flute prices in among his totally righteous other sneers (although I will admit to not being sure what a not very expensive Japanese flute has to do with lethality!!!!!!!!!!!!). I happen to live in a hotbed of high-end flute and cymbal companies, and I still have the flute I played through college, so that kind of thing catches my eye. Take a look at the prices here--https://www.flutistry.com/collections/flutes--especially for local brands Haynes and Powell. Back when I was in high school, my flute-playing peers whose families were wealthy spent years on the waiting list to get a Haynes, for example.
Bam's previous high score was 41 points. He simply took what the Wizards gave him. They fouled him instead of guard him and as a result he took 43 foul shots. The only travesty is the Wizards who are "tanking" their way to the bottom of the NBA.
Trump had a rally in Kentucky (AGAINST Massie, because Death to All Non-MAGA GOP, I guess), and brought loser/poseur/palooka/would-be boxer Jake Paul on stage, sweating THROUGH his suit, and showing that he has no idea how ties work. Cocaine and steroids, a hell of a drug combo!
I'm sure I'm not the first to suggest this, but how about buying the exact same shoe in the correct size? Unless Trump his marked them with his own delightful scent of urine/taint that he can identify from a block away, how would he know the difference?

Youthful enthusiasm. I'm all for it!

These are the “alien” creatures or our imaginations and they’ve lived right here all along!

I can’t tell you how many times visitors look at our giant squid and say it’s an alien
It's a water ballet!

Americans. LOL> It's pronounced EE-RAHN, not "I ran."

The basket ball story may have been one of the oddest, whiniest sports articles I've read in years.
Bam's previous high score was 41 points. He simply took what the Wizards gave him. They fouled him instead of guard him and as a result he took 43 foul shots. The only travesty is the Wizards who are "tanking" their way to the bottom of the NBA.
That was such a weird, whiny, pearl-clutching article. I swear that basketball writers tend to have a massive bitchy streak beyond most other writers.
"THEY'LL BUY ANYTHING IF YOU ALLITERATE!"
Fabulous Fascist Footwear Forever!
"Iran So Far Away!"
I couldn't get away.
Very much appreciate the link to Penzeys. Absolutely first-rate company.
Very spicy place
All those Florscheims are gonna give those boys bonespurs?
Trump most likely has brainspurs
"DC’s Catholic cardinal has eyeballs in his head, says Trump’s Iran war of choice doesn’t pass any kind of test of morality."
So, it's like EVERY SINGLE THING HE'S EVER DONE, then?
"We just love our friends Penzeys, and they love us!"
They sell spices, right?
Let me know when they have melange in stock.
But if you were on melange, wouldn't you KNOW when they were going to have melange in stock?
"And I ran
I ran so far away
I just ran
I couldn't get away"

Doesn't that guy have a single friend or family member willing to stage an intervention?
