You'd have to define the parameters of your immortality. I mean suppose you could "die" but then wake up a few hours later with no memory of your previous life? Suppose every time that happened someone you never met has to die for real to pay for it? Seems to me there would be a comeuppance for that kind of thing at some point. It would suck for you but it probably would make a pretty compelling story.

I have had fat too much to drink tonight to entertain such a serious but also pointless question. Right now I am only interesting in being sarcastic and watching funny Go Pro fail videos on you tube.

Check this out! Illegals really ARE doing jobs Americans don't want to do, like attending Hillary Clinton rallies! http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/hillary-drafts-illegal-dreamers-to-get-immigrants-to-vote/article/2599321

WOD this whole issue people have with changes to flags is really unnecessary, if you can be honest about the reality of the 2016 Lets be honest most people think a flag symbolically represents the nation, they place real value in it and think changes to it should only seen as negative. But what about changes to a flag to make it inclusive ? So changing the USA flag positive way would you support that? Like this? Actually if Puerto Rico ever votes to become a state we will get a new flag. Unless we kick one of the others out first. You know California has been a real pill to put up with lately.

It was a long week, followed by a long (not in a good way) weekend. I'm turning off the TV, Radio, everything. On the way home I bought a bottle of Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve. I'm going to sit on the porch, pour a drink, watch the sun set and count the stars.

Well this couldn't have come at a worse time: http://m.mlb.com/news/article/195507150/marlins-stanton-conley-heading-for-dl-stints/

Well sooner or later there will be an extinction level event and even if that doesn't happen eventually the sun will go supernova. You WILL get bored then! Assuming of course faster than light travel really is impossible. If it's not then the whole immortality thing might not be so bad. But once the sun does go nova you could always move to Titan. It's got all the building blocks of a nice planet, it just needs to be closer to the sun. That problem will solve itself one day.

yeah, the eeoc kinda made a mistake by even suggesting that the gadsden flag could, in and of itself, be a kinda racist message. shoulda' stuck with finding and avoided troubling dicta. HA! Good Fun! That is the problem with leftist notions of Government. They have to interfere. They just can't help themselves.

You don't want to liver forever... you'll get bored.

That whole thing about the Gaden Flag being racist is the biggest load of BS I've ever heard. But it does bring to mind some possibilities. Apparently any symbol worn by racists becomes a de facto racist symbol. Well, I'm not liking that new Florida Panthers logo much. Maybe I'll buy a bunch of Panthers caps and hand them out in the parking lot of the next Klan rally. You know come to that I'm not real crazy about the Buccaneers logo either.... hmmmmm

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demagogue I sorry he's wearing the Gadsen flag. Easily one of the coolest symbols in US history. oddly enough, the gadsden flag is a knock-off o' an earlier minuteman flag... am drawing a blank on the name. 'course we only know the history of the gadsden flag 'cause o' the eeoc kerfuffle. HA! Good Fun! Are you referring to this one? The First Navy Jack? I actually have it up on my wall. That's the one I was thinking of

You just gotta love the silly season. It brings out the best in all of us! http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2016/08/12/trump_rally-goer_to_cnn_reporter_i_am_a_patriot_and_you_are_a_traitor.html

I wonder where Lebron James keeps his Bronze Medal?

Yeah the reason why 3rd Parties fade in the stretch is they are like a summer fling. After the debates (that the 3rd Parties are seldom part of) the disaffected Republicans and Democrats go back home to their respective parties. Maybe not willingly but they go. This time might be different. This time there are two candidates few really like. As for Johnson, remember I've said all along he has no shot of an outright win. The only shot he has is to win a state or two and have the rest fall out in such a way as neither Clinton nor Trump reaches 270. Then, maybe... MAYBE he will be seen as a compromise candidate in a House or Representatives election. Even that is the longest of long shots. Such an election probably works in Trumps favor. The best case has always been get into the debates to make the electorate aware of the brand and win 5% of the popular vote in order to get election assistance and automatic ballot access in 2020. If he gets in the debates the 5% is very do-able. In fact it would even be a disappointment if that was all he got. If he does not then the 5% is still possible but it's much tougher. No matter what he has my vote because I cannot stomach the heavy handed authoritarianism of the Democrats and Clinton is... what she is. And I couldn't live with myself I voted for a man like Donald Trump.

If he gets in the debates a whole new hand gets dealt.

In other news Gary Johnson is trying to capitalize on his poll numbers with Millenials. He is now leading Clinton & Trump with voters under 30: http://thelibertarianrepublic.com/gary-johnson-millennials/ Johnson/Weld are also improving in battleground states, increasing from 10% to 12% by average http://reason.com/blog/2016/08/12/gary-johnsons-poll-numbers-rising-in-bat. Nationally they are at 13%, still below the the debate threshold but that may not matter. The CPD has said if he gets close they will have him and they are already planning a third podium http://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/debates-clinton-trump-johnson-stein-226806. Plus he is very competitive in Utah & New Mexico (his home state) http://www.inquisitr.com/3339487/gary-johnson-polls-as-libertarian-candidate-nears-15-percent-mark-needed-to-join-debates-new-poll-shows-johnson-could-win-in-utah/. If he can win either or both states there are a number of scenarios that will prevent any candidate from reaching 270. The election would then go to a Congress that figures to be divided 52-55% vs 48-45%. Johnson/Weld might serve as a compromise pick. But even if it doesn't go down this way winning a state would be huge.

Yes, this is correct and logical. You would think at sometime Trump would want the media to discuss his realistic policies ....the ones that matter like economic ones Yet he keeps hijacking his own narrative No you were not listening. He gave a serious and well thought out speech on his economic policy in Detroit last week and the media ignored it altogether. They covered Clinton's almost verbatim.

@Leferd: I got that from Wikipedia, which is of course only as accurate as the guy you wrote the article. The only point I was trying to make is August is way too soon to pop the champagne corks.

That was for the second Death Star. This is the first. Gotcha. That is why I like Empire the best. It was the only Star Wars movie... ever... that didn't involve destroying a "super weapon". You'd think the empire would have learned.

I would guess that the good guys will die at the end, it's supposed to be a suicide mission. Of course, they will probably find some way to make it a hollywood ending. "Many bothans died to bring us this information" Oh you mean ruin it? No doubt!

That is a good point. His speech in Detroit was substantive and devoid of any controversy and the media didn't cover a word of it. If this truly is his strategy they are enabling it with their own shoddy reporting and he is playing them like a harp.

Maybe that was why Empire was the best movie. for once the bad guy was actually dangerous.

Happy Birthday Malc. I'm going to celebrate your birthday by finishing the painting at the townhouse today. And drinking a lot of Goose Island IPA while doing it. I'll have one for you!
