You can be sure the folks working of "concepts of a plan" have golden health care plans in place for themselves. Happy 250th!

Concepts of a plan ... on the way ... straight away ... soon come ...

It would be necessary to know more about the guy's medical history to make an even relatively informed guess. I mean, what sort of exams did he have, what was he told, what advice was he given, did he follow that advice, etc.? He came across to me as sort of nervous, herky-jerky, anxious and with bloodshot eyes. Was he a heavy drinker? (The Hill has *long* been practically a fully-functioning distillery.)

Fun fact: Adolf Hitler rejected the idea of putting his mug on Third Reich coinage.

The sissy boy who fixates publicly on the size of Arnold Palmer's penis might be attracted to guys?

"DANTON: Could you indeed? It's you idealists who make the best tyrants.
ROBESPIERRE: It seems a bit late to be having this conversation. I've had to take up violence now, and so much else. We should have discussed it last year."
Hilary Mantel, A Place of Greater Safety

"Calling all the South essentially unworthy of habitation is as dumb as saying [choose your US city] is a nest of left-wing anarchy and too dangerous even to enter."

Interesting point and, I believe, valid. The Shenandoah Valley is gorgeous. Harper's Ferry - in "West by God Virginia" - a gem. That said, the Mexican food in Cordele, GA puts the "aw" in "awful." The South is not all trailers and the Beverly Hillbillies, although I do take a historian friend's point when he suggested the best view of the South was probably through a Norden bombsight from an altitude of around 20,000-feet. My take is, if you haven't taken it before, be assured a drive that takes you across Oklahoma into Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and into Florida will be ... revelatatory.

Zhou Enlai's famous remark about it being "too soon to tell" about the French Revolution's significance was not about the 1789 kick-off but tumultuous goings on in France in 1968 ("Danny the Red," et. al.). Nevertheless, entirely apropos.

Of course the man is healthy. Why, just look at him.

How about "pioneers"? That's what Americans call the folks who cleared-out the people living wherever the newcomers showed up. It's been prettified, which is why we call it "American Exceptionalism" and "Manifest Destiny." Sounds a bit grander than "rape, pillage, murder, and mayhem." And with the blessing of God, no less.

Does the family hold a lease on that job?

This cobra headed jerk hoff has to eventually get it .

Who's "Hoff" and what does he/she/it have to do with the Discordians?

Remember: "Synchronicity is as universal as gravity. When you start looking you find it everywhere."

"Quality of life is just better in the south."

The Confederacy resembles, by and large and in so many ways, one of those fabled "sh#thole countries" Trump likes to talk about.

Oh, agree, the picadors are the bad guys. Haven't been to a bullfight in probably 60 years, and won't be back.

JPW's original headline was a lovelt, bittersweet line Sam Neill delivered as "Capt. Vasili Borodin" in The Hunt for Red October: "I would like to have seen Montana.".

Vaughn: Sodium Morphate. It slowed down my body functions to a point that mimicked death. Apparently I spent four hours in a drawer in the morgue waiting for Jack's contact to reach me to administer the antidote. And then a couple days of traveling, before I made it to Nepal. Yeah, it's funny, it's the first time I ever felt Jack accepted me.
Marcus Dixon: Or else he manufactured a very elaborate scheme to postpone your wedding to his daughter.

Ka-ching!

Great observation. Whenever Old Yeller has a gaggle of holy rollers gathered around him in the Oval Office, eyes shut, laying on hands, babbling incantations, I expect to see a shot of him peeking towards an aide in the corner and smirking. "Can ya believe this sheet?"

Seems Bill's condition is in early-ish stages. Bill does a lot of looping, which, weirdly, he actually.appears to believe he controls. Odd but there it is.

Dear Boss:
Took a fall, can't provide details, but that was weeks ago and now I'm good to go. Just not yet. Few more weeks. Keep them checks and benefits rolling in. God bless, you the best!

These people ... soooo entitled.
Look at Iowa's ridiculous Grassley.
He's announced he's seeking another term.
He will be 105 if he completes it.
They all seem to think they're irreplaceable.
Ask Lindsey Graham how that approach works out.
Just. Get. Out.

The way the bearded man was tossed, seemingly without effort on the bull's part, was at some point an unplanned but totally anticipated feature of every corrida I ever attended (ages ago). The assistants are out in the open, testing the bull with their capes while the matador observes, and then ... bull hooks a different way and the assistant goes sky-high. Tremendous power, which is why the hated picadors work the animals' neck muscles.
