The exotic headline brought me here.

Good morning, Goat!

Gabbard hits back at Hillary:

In an earlier thread, I proposed a Gabbard/Huntsman Centrist ticket. The USA needs a true centrist party for a true centrist alternative.

#1. Preach, brother.

#7. Nothing surprises me anymore.

JT, Here's an old Israeli McDonald's commercial with an image of a McShawarma at the end. It looks a lot more edible than the one I ate - and a lot less yellow. Anyway, if nothing else, the commercial is kinda funny as a Pulp Fiction parody.

#5 There is a BIG difference between a real shawarma and a "McShawarma," believe me. I'm getting psychosomatic intestinal pains just thinking about the latter.

#3, I don't own a gun, but when pretty much anybody can make a claim that could result in an upwards of a five year "temporary" ban, the law goes too far, and I'm betting the federal courts will see it that way, as well.

If both Jerry Brown AND the ACLU oppose this, I can't imagine it passing constitutional muster in the federal courts.

Let's see how this wrinkle gets ironed out.

Why isn't the plain truth good ever good enough?

Here's another one, Pinch:

#18 One of them had a little toothbrush mustache, like my neighbor's piebald cat. I prefer to think it's an homage to Charlie Chaplin or Oliver Hardy, but Antifa is pretty knee-jerk about such things.

From the story: "Rose City Antifa said in a tweet that Kealiher's death 'was not related to fascist activity,'"

A weird story; who shot at the vehicle and why? Also weird that the SUV driver appears to still be on the lam.

It seems ABC's initial reaction was to simply make the video "private" on YouTube, before conceding their error and removing the footage entirely. At least they copped to it and apologized.

It's Oregon, so probably Antifa's fault.

Tulsi Gabbard will be on this stage. If she isn't purposely marginalized by moderators Burnett, Cooper, and Lacey, she will hit dingers all night long.

#3 "Good Lord...."

I can't tell you how many times I moaned that very sentiment whilst visiting every public toilet between Jerusalem and Tiberius.

#1 I had a McShwarma at an Israel McDonald's once. I crapped like a wild gorilla for two days afterwards. Miserable.

If I enter a thread that seems unwieldy or aesthetically displeasing, I just pass on by and look at something else. No need to get hung up on it for 40 posts.

#16 "It's the spamming that is a big turn off..."

I was guilty of that after I watched Tim Pool clobber Jack Dorsey and Vijaya Gadde on Joe Rogan's show. I posted several Pool videos in the aftermath of that program. As I move deeper into old age, my enthusiasm for most things has waned. Discovering the best of these public intellectuals makes me feel the way I felt when I first discovered The Who, George Romero, and Hunter Thompson.

Goat, I gotta tell ya, I dig the Public Intellectual Movement and the personalities that represent all factions therein: Rogan, Dore, Sedar, Pool, Harris, Peterson, etc. etc. I get a kick out of Pinch's posts, even if I don't agree with some of them.

How about a GABBARD/HUNTSMAN independent Centrist ticket?

Mmm...space-kebab.

JT, What medium are they starting out with? It's unclear to me from the story. Do they start out with bits of actual meat and get it to grow at the cellular level? To get anything to grow, doesn't their have to be a growing medium - you know, like the way beer is the medium that feeds my belly fat and makes it grow?
