Slopey, that book sounds really interesting. Email me the name and author, will you, por favor.
Cheap and easy & Montero’s go together like Salt & Pepper!
Montrose Morris,
If you went to your boss and said:
“hey boss, nice job on the Peterson account,
your otherwise retrograde thinking did not seem
to be an obstacle in this case.”
…would you have a job the next day.
…btw, I have to disagree with you on that architect
Zumthor. That spa at Vals is genius.
lech- in my unlawyerly opinion, I think you oversimply the Supreme Court.I don’t always agree with them but making up rights is a far cry from stretching the interpretation of what the Constitution says. And sometiems that has to be done to ensure we do have equal rights- as people. This lets out the totally twisted thinking that gave “individual” rights to corporations -wasn’t the liberals who did that 🙂
MM, you are a Pompous Black Asshat with retrograde thinking.
Don’t you miss the What???
Yes, you do!!!
Admit it.
“it was cheap and easy! Now I sound like someone from Montero’s”
DeLepp, how dare you! I resemble that remark!
Seriously, peeps, I need a good recipe for thin pork chops. Like a scallopine? Help a girl out here!
Yawn.
Haven’t we hashed this over enough today?
Punning anyone? Where’s Biff?
jackal — we’re using different semantics to say the same thing. Yes, once the decider has decided, all that’s left is opinion, not constitutional fact. Unlike you and Mr. Spock, we hue-mons tend to have opinions we are emotionally invested in. Now go grab whatever it is your kind has for the equivalent of lunch on your planet.
P.S. Re our earlier discussion of Chanukah, I’m reading a somewhat overly academic book on the historical Jesus. The politics of the time from the collapse of the Hasmonean dynasty (remember them?) through the time of J.C. through the Roman quelling of Jewish rebellion in 66-73 c.e. (that’s a.d., for you goyim) is fascinating. There was class conflict amongs jews, civil conflict amongst factions of jewish clerical leadership, civil war amongst factions of roman leadership both against and amongst their local proxies, shifting rules on religious observance and persecution, anticolonial uprising with shifting alliances, rural v. urban splits, political and economic banditry, terrorists, etc. The alliances were constantly shifting.
No takers on The Black Swan flowchart I linked?
