    5 days to kill

    It was in early Spring of 2015, I think. I dunno. I stayed there on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights for a Monday delivery. The total bill wasn't $200. I also remember the WiFi didn't work. I just looked them up on Hotels.com and they are $60 and $70 a night, depending on the room.

    The Trump Card...

    The President, Vice President, members of Congress, and Federal Judges are explicitly exempted from most federal conflict of interest laws. Federal Judges, however, must abide by the Code of Conduct for United States Judges, per the Judicial Conference of the United States, created by Congress...

    The Trump Card...

    No, it really can't mean anything anyone wants it to mean, at least not in the context of leading as president. Fit means the exact opposite of unfit, and we already know what unfit means, thus fit means "of the necessary quality or standard to meet a particular purpose, suitable." Lead is...

    The Trump Card...

    That's fine. I do know that the definition of unfit is "not of the necessary quality or standard to meet a particular purpose, unsuitable," so when you say, "I do not believe his particular style of leadership [necessary quality or standard] is a good fit for the seat [a particular purpose] he...

    5 days to kill

    I've stayed at the WoodSpring Suites Hotel, an extended stay hotel. Was pretty decent and I think it was about $50 a night. It's probably $60 a night now. I remember I got my room cheaper by calling them directly rather than booking it online. It's just on the western edge of town by Menards.

    The Trump Card...

    You didn't say it in those exact words, no, but like I said, within the context of of the virtual inevitability of him losing his supporter base and being impeached by his own party, those aren't the kinds of predictions people make about those they think are fit to lead in the position they are...

    The Good old days

    The good old days was when I was a kid and most everything that was going on in the world didn't matter to me. If I could bring those days back, I would. :D

    The Trump Card...

    I'll answer it. The answer is both. And sometimes both at the same time. It is part and parcel of voicing an opinion. What I rarely if ever do, however, is throw out opinion as fact, especially when it comes to a medical diagnosis. That's only true when the comments spoken are devoid of opinion...

    The Trump Card...

    There’s no question Donald Trump has observable narcissistic traits - extreme self-promotion, arrogance and boastfulness, low empathy, a willingness to take advantage of others for personal gain, and constant attention-seeking. There's little dispute about those traits and you don’t need to be a...

    The Trump Card...

    I agree wholeheartedly. The Republican Party as we know it is on life support as it is. Unless the American people are overwhelmingly behind an impeachment, Republicans who engage in an impeachment will be pulling their own plug. Trump blew up the Republican Party by winning the nomination and...

    The Trump Card...

    That's certainly a very valid, rational and even logical opinion. It makes sense, and I wouldn't be all that surprised to see such a scenario happen. But my thoughts on that are tempered by those "11 Times [and all the others] Donald Trump Looked Like He Was Done For." FWIW, my NFL team of...

    8 yr old transgender boy banned from Cub scouts

    It pretty much applies to both. While one refers to physically transitioning and the other refers to a state of mind, even most of those who have gone the full Monty and have has sexual reassignment surgery, er, uhm, I mean, sexual affirmation surgery <snort>, refer to themselves as transgender...

    8 yr old transgender boy banned from Cub scouts

    If given a choice of what to eat for breakfast, say ice cream or cream of wheat, children will more often than not make a bad decision. Yet, at 8 years old, and sometimes much younger, children can make the infallible decision to change their sex. And on a broader scale....

    The Trump Card...

    Well, I really wasn't trying to persuade anybody of anything. I simply stated why I think it's not being reported and/or touted. Others are free to chime in with their thoughts. But I'm apparently the only one with any thoughts on the matter.

    No, I really don't know of any.

    The Trump Card...

    I think it's a combination of things. I singled out CNN and NYT because historically they can be counted on to run the Rasmussen weekly favorability polls, even if it's just a single paragraph buried on page 26 or something. It may only be a couple of inches, in newspaperspeak, but on the Web...

    Swift, Werner, Schneider, Crete, Knight, Ryder Dedicated. There are lots of them. I never heard of an expedite carrier that's quite that specific, though.

    The Trump Card...

    I think it's a little amusing how back right after the election and in the first few weeks after that, when Trump had really bad favorable ratings, the NYT and CNN had that as a regular front page news item and as Breaking News, respectively. Now that Trump has cracked 50% they are silent on the...
