He was a terrific character actor - you'd know the face, appreciate his bit, and not know the guy's name until his obit appears. Actually, that alone is pretty darn good for a character actor who seemed to relish each job. RIP

Wait ... that way, according to a ruling Clarence just made, the payoff will be a "gratuity" and not a "bribe."

Indigenous tribes in the US have been royally screwed by those seeking possession of their property and the destruction of their cultures. For centuries. Every once in a while, even forced to play in a loaded game by the dominant culture's rules, they actually win one. Good on them.

Woody Allen's line from Bananas (1971), which specifically concerned a trial, seem especially relevant with respect to the current SCOTUS:

"It's a travesty of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of two mockeries of a sham ... ."

Trump must be listening to Billy "Yup, Up and UP!" Baffert.

Two pints from the article. First: "Tina's combination of inner-ear abnormalities is known only in people with Down's syndrome." And this:

"The survival of this child, beyond the period of breastfeeding, implies group caregiving, probably more extended than parental caregiving, typical of a highly collaborative social context among the members of the group. Otherwise, it is very difficult to explain the survival of this individual up to the age of six years," said Valentn Villaverde, a co-author of the study and an emeritus professor of prehistory at the University of Valencia.

Conde-Valverde said: "The discovery of Tina represents the oldest known case of Down's syndrome and demonstrates that the diversity observed in modern humans was already present in prehistoric times. This finding ensures that the story of human evolution includes us all."

Excellent point.

So if the bribe paid to a public official is paid after and not before the purchased service/favor and called a "gratuity" the bribery of public officials is condoned by the Court's "conservative" majority.

Interesting story, great find.

"The discovery of the remains of the ship from the 14th-13th century BCE proves that Late Bronze Age mariners could navigate the seas without a line of sight to the shore, contrary to what was previously believed ... ."

I'd question that statement. For example, the Minoans and others in the Mediterranean (general location of the find) used celestial navigation. The stars were up there, whether you gazed at them from land or sea.

Which takes nothing away from this discovery. And some courageous seafaring.

Many Asian grunts in the Red Army who showed up in Budapest in 1956 to stomp on the Hungarian Revolution asked locals where the Suez Canal was; they'd been told their destination was Egypt. Maybe these guys think they're going to the Moon. Quien sabe?

Guess this pretty much puts to restthe company's old gung-ho "If It Isn't Boeing, I'm Not Going" slogan.

Guess fact checking is seen by some who profit from spreading delusions as infringing on their First Amendment "right" to vomit a cascade of distortions and lies mislabeled as "fact" to a mob of glassy-eyed cultists, many of whom appear prone to violent outbursts.

On that platform thang, note the GOPers "platform" is simply whatever the pantload they've fallen for happens to blurt out at any given moment. What a bunch, huh?

What is it with these uber-goober Republican women when they peroxide their hair to become a Shadow Brides of Trumpf? Is it the "normal" reaction to the acidic chems shooting through the scalp, penetrating even the thickest of skulls, and working hoodoo voodoo on the brain?

"Maybe he hid it in Ashley Biden's --- and ... "

Get some help.

"Republicans have scruples ... "

Pull the other one; it may have a bell.

Actually, it's where your head is.

Basically, they were creating a state-funded Catholic religious public school.

You hate guns

Yeah, like I "hate" a broken machine part or a flat tire. What a maroon.

You know what's to hate? Letting mentals, manbabies, cosplayers, imbeciles, and the untrained anywhere near firearms.

They've got a goof in MT running for the Senate who can't remember when, where, and under what circumstances he got shot.
