Marine Drill Instructor makes time for a tea party with his daughter: OOORAH SSgt Porter!

Fines are tax deductible? The problem with Grit n Grind is they are not doing it. They were beaten like a drum for the first two quarters, giving us 9-0, 11-0, runs to the f-----g Spurs (that's what I'm calling them from now on). you can't give away 20 points with no answer in an NBA playoff game. Yeah there were fouls that should have been called but the f-----g spurs were shooting at will in the first half and by the time the Grizz got going it was too much of a hill to climb.

F-----g Spurs.

Even the likes of Friedrich or Achenbach? Either way I guess it's less about art in general and more about my personal tastes for the more esoteric. Also not sure why you put art in quotation marks above, I'd say Wyeth's work is definitely art whether one loves it or hates it. I don't view the condition of being art as a quality brand more so than a function myself, thus there can be good and bad art, and even art that is awful is still at the end of the day art. It is. I guess being mass produced, or reproduced loses some of it's cache I was thinking. I bought a hand painted reproduction of that at a show in West Palm Beach years ago. It's on my bedroom wall now. I also have a copy of Van Gogh's Starry Night. I've always liked that one. Actually I did like the four you posted from Oswald Achenbach

TNT tonight. Grizz vs Spurs game 2. Tonights the wrongs will be made right!

I guess I'm not at art lover. The only pictures that I liked or at least haven't creeped me out are the two of DC comics characters. My favorite "art" piece was a painting by Andrew Wyeth that has been re-printed a million times:

Or just being a skeptic, atleast that is how several people I know got excused. Pretending to be racist works too. But it might get your butt kicked on the way out.

I've found that erratic behavior and heated conversations with imaginary people work wonders in getting you excused from jury duty.

Then why do you support parliamentary democracy? I don't. I do support republican democracy with strict limitations placed on the powers granted to the body politic.

There is nothing more sickening to me than the notion that the liberty of anyone should be compromised in even the smallest fashion to advance a political agenda no matter how dearly held.

Ann Ravel and Ellen Weintraub have to be two of the most evil people on the American left. I can't imagine anyone has done more so suppress free speech in this country or been in a position to do more. Except perhaps Obama when using the IRS as his "thought police". Those two are two of the three democrat appointed commissioners on the FEC. In the past they have tried to shut down web sites who they claim express political opinions (that they disagree with). Chief among those has been the Drudge Report which just links news articles from other sources rather than produce content on it's own. But if you look at what she is suggesting here they are not just looking to "regulate" news content but the posts of individual people posting in a political discussion thread. They could force Obsidian to no allow political discussions here in WoT for example. Especially if opinions are being expressed that are deemed "inappropriate" (meaning not left leaning). https://heatst.com/politics/former-fec-chairwoman-calls-for-regulations-of-political-speech-on-the-internet/

F-----g Spurs.

It really is a rotten stroke of luck for the Grizz to be matched up against the Spurs.Nonetheless I'll be watching tonight

I've always thought of this as a holiday more suited for reflection than celebration. But that's just me. I'm not doing anything.

You know, had I been Luke, the last trained Force user at the end of Ep 6, I don't think I'd have trained anyone. Ever. Perhaps the people of a long time ago in a galaxy far away would have been better off if all knowledge of using the force passed into legend. Seems to me the people who used it caused more problems than they ever solved. Just sayin'.

No way, Megadeth, Peace Sells. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlWq6WXIv7M

The world would be a better place if all the humans would just get over themselves. Being offended is something you choose to do. You can all me anything you want, insult my parents, my ancestry, whatever. Don't lay a hand on me or mine and we'll still be cool.

I am not laughing at the death of the Mexican I am just imagining some sort of " US Bizarro Plane company " where passengers do indeed get kicked off the plane in mid-flight but this would be considered a normal part of the legal seating process ....its funny if you have my sense of humor It's not funny... but it is. Life is all about perspective I guess.

Well, I guess this United thing isn't so bad. After all, this poor guy in Mexico was removed from the plane in mid-flight: http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/mans-body-seen-tossed-from-plane-found-on-roof-of-mexican-hospital/ar-BBzLVoh?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartandhp

Irony. Definitely my favorite form of humor.

How cool is this? https://www.bsbking.com/products/the-greatest-all-stars-fine-print?variant=25372821579

The Braves are offering a new ballpark only IPA with a unique twist: the wort was cooled and and aged in wood chips made from baseball bats. It's called Chopsecutioner IPA. Color me curious. If I'm ever in Atlanta that's on my to-do list. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/the-braves-new-ballpark-will-offer-a-beer-thats-been-brewed-with-baseball-bats/

Maybe it just gets more coverage here.

Nail it

I wonder... did the randomly selected still get the $800 and free hotel stay? I know the doctor didn't. But I expect he'll come out of this with a lot more than $800 once all the lawsuits are settled.
