That I have not tried. Let me know how it works out.

I have about a 50 year start on Beard Day. I was in my favorite tavern a few weeks ago and a tourist came in. He saw my friend and me and said "What is this. a Santa Claus convention?" One of the other regulars keeps his beard tucked inside his shirt so you don't realize that it's waist-length.

I can't think of a bill so great it would make me rethink my lifelong commitment to always have someone else fuck with the electricity.

Saruman also was “the white”.

I very much doubt that story is true as the Post's were doing the usual thing where they spend all their money and have to sell all their shit (see: Trump family in a few years). The estate was beautiful before he tackied it up and turned it into the trash palace we see now. Not my style but I wouldn't want to live in a Frank L Wright house either. At some point I'm just too lazy to live in a show place.

Interesting that he made such a big deal out of the safe when he wasn't keeping anything important in it. All the scariest docs were laid out on the office floor.

Considering who we're talking about, just the threat of torture should be enough to get him talking.

Of course, it would take more than the threat of torture to get him to stop talking.

What in the hell is coming out of his ears? Fire?

Well, the next talking point will surely be that the classified docs were a distraction from the real reason for the search -- it was all a panty raid!!

If I remember correctly Peltola had the most votes as the only D in the race and the R's split their vote. In the olden days the top R vote getter would have then gone on to the general in Nov and crushed the D but that now seems to be a case of the top 4 (3 R and 1 D) going on. Since lots of R's hate Palin they either didn't choose a #2 or they chose Peltola out of spite which put her over the top in the special and may do the same in the general. We'll see.

Was he the Son of Man, or just some guy?

Absolutely. Two things I’ve never fucked around with are plumbing and electricity.

I, being a rational scientist type of somewhat advanced years, will get one as soon as it's offered.

And if I start shuffling down the street calling for "braaaains", they'll be perfectly safe.
