Stuck In Prague

Still on the story that Cohen was in Prague in the summer of 2016: Lots of alternatives here, including spoofing and missing cell phones.

BONUS PARANOIA: Suppose Russian Intelligence decided to exploit Hillary's paranoia and opportunism by spoofing a meeting with Cohen, hoping to spark a Obama-approved investigation of his political opposition with resulting finger-pointing, division, and de-legitimization. Mission Accomplished!

If someone has a heart attack on a plane a podiatrist is quite a ways down in the emergency hierarchy.

[Stephanie Nene Not Your Normal Granma]

That vape shop vid ranks right up there with the compilation vids from election night. I could watch them all on a continuous loop.

I love how all these socialist progs tell people like Graham to suck it up and go start his own Facebook if he doesn't like FB's policies.
They may be too stupid or dishonest to know socialism would make that impossible but we're not.

Thank gawd that’s over. One-sided rout. Sorry, Irish JOMerz.

I hope I make it to see all of the game or that it's such a runaway I can go to bed. Add a massive sinus headache to the other maladies this cold/flu? has nailed me with. Ugh!

My son watched the Purdue-Auburn game at his restaurant last night.

His comment was "The games they play during the season do make a difference."

Auburn won by 63 points!

The Purdue people left in the third quarter. The Auburn people left in the 4th quarter because it was so boring! LOL!

The Big Ten is not what it used to be.

[Dave (in MA)]

I think we have a passenger having a heart attack; is there a doctor aboard?

  Yes, I'm a podiatrist, what is it?

It's a foot doctor, but that's not important right now.

I like Catron’s writing as well, Ig. I guess I was a Cruz guy early on but as has been discussed here ad infinitum, he and every other R besides the Drumpf would have lost big to the utterly corrupt, fat-assed Hilligula. Thus, I’m forever in his debt.

Goldberg, Kristol, Hayes, Wehner, et al, take note;

Finally, a conservative pundit who can admit fallibility. There's nothing wrong with owning up to having been wrong, instead of petulantly denying reality.

JOE DONNELLY ECHOS MCCASKILL’S WARNING: DEMS NEED TO LAY OFF LEFT-WING POLITICS

Democratic Indiana Sen. Joe Donnelly said Saturday morning that Democrats need to avoid lurching to the left or risk alienating middle America. He’s the second outgoing Democratic lawmaker to issue such warning.

Medicare-for-all and other traditionally left-wing ideas are too politically poisonous to sell in red states, the Indiana senator told CNN in a sit-down interview. Democrats need to do a better job of connecting with voters in middle America, Donnelly added.

“We have not made enough of a connection … that the people of my state understand culturally, we (Democrats) want to make sure you succeed,” he said. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont has pushed hard to make climate change and Medicare-for-all a high dollar issue for Democrats.

Etc.

Watch that demolition of Irish in our club sitting in the Bistro. But guess what, I am a person of different loyalties and one of those is not Bryan Kelly. He left Cincy when it was on the rise. Just Like he left Central Michigan. If anyone is to blame is that that opportunistic asshole.He is no Lou Holtz or Parseghian, or Delaney.

Now its up to Bama to save me from DFL in the pool.

Dead last in red zone efficiency? Yeah OK is going to have a bad night.

Only things worse than Boomer Sooner? Rocky Top and FSU chop. Shoot me now!

[Jim Eagle]

Steph,

I agree with Georgia. ND was a pick of the heart. Can't have 4 teams below trhe Mason-Dixon line.Guarantee that goes into the matrix.

[Jim Eagle]

Bama wins the first call. Not a good omen for OU.

[lyle]

So I’m prepping for dinner and turn back to the TV to see Bama give up a fumble on the goal line. Go back to my prep for a bit just to return to the game to see Bama on the goal line to score. I don’t think having Big Game Bob Stoops on the OU sideline is gonna help much tonight.

[Jim Eagle]

Your world class offense is a nothing burger agaiinst a world class defense.

[Jim Eagle]

Its early but looks to me like another no contest. The Committee needs to be really critiqued on their 4 picks. The algorithms are screwed up. There has to be a better 4 than these.

[lyle]

Later, Sooners.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

Just for Steph...and anyone else with sense of humor.

UCF, JiB? 🤔

Maybe, Lyle. Couldn't do worse but they lost their magic QB and he was a difference.

Hilarious. Never heard this version.

[Jim Eagle]

I have never understood why underdogs like OU would defer the kickoff to the 2nd half. They did and now they are living the effects. When I was playing, if our Captain did something like that Chuck Studley would not only kick him off the team but suspend his scholarship. It is a stupid move, and seems to be de rigiuer in both college and pro football. But why? Because you look harder, tougher, and winning on TV? BS.

[Stephanie Nene Not Your Normal Granma]

That was awesome Iggy!

so far this game is

The Massacre at the A L Corral.

[lyle]

After a quick watch of the vape store vid and misgendered vid, here’s my heartfelt sentiment: sure glad I live in Idaho. (And yes, we have trans and insane progtards here.)

[Jim Eagle]

Looks like an early night. Bama in charge. OU facing defense they have never seen in their lifetime as players. So, how many Bama-Tigers national championship games will this make? If I am a big time HS football player who wants to prepare for the NFL, why would I play for a team not in the South?

Yes, I know, the pros are from all the conferences and teams but most are from teams in the south. Better weather, and it measns more down in Florida, Georgia and Texas.

My vote for most effective POTUS would be University of North Carolina Chapel Hill Tarheel grad James Knox Polk. He accomplished all of his four goals (successful Oregon territory negotiations with Great Britain, lower tariffs, restructuring Treasury system that lasted until the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, and successfully end of the kerfuffle with Mexico over New Mexico and California. Then he didn't run for reelection and died. Talk about efficient use of time!

Steph,

Did it have some decongestant?

[daddy]

If someone has a heart attack on a plane a podiatrist is quite a ways down in the emergency hierarchy.

Just for info, the company has started installing emergency defibrillators on our planes but we haven't gone through training yet on how to use them. One of our boys a few years back who did have a huge pain in his chest during a flight, later diagnosed as a heart attack, reached in his bag and took aspirin which he said helped, so the word passed to us is to carry a bottle of aspirin that is immediately accessible. I'll let Anonamom tell us if that is legitimate "Old Wives Tale" pseudo-wisdom, or a placebo.

[boatbuilder]

It's probably better than a podiatrist, daddy.

[henry]

Or untrained use of high voltage? Just make sure the video loads before the plane hits ground.

I agree OSU would be a better choice tha OU. At least they know the concept of defense. This is becoming embarrssing but not enough to keep me from bed.

Slaap lekker, tot morgen.

We send Frederick down to Miami, Key Biscayne, tomorrow for the rest of his holiday. Then on the secoind he flies up to Hartford for going back to school. Starts Thursday, the 3rd. Great to have him and watch him picl up his golf game.

[Stephanie Nene Not Your Normal Granma]

Yep, buckeye... Now if I could find some of those meds from my last surgery, I could take some of that and the walls would move prestissimo. Groovy man!

[JimNorCal]

"Does anyone on earth actually like those weird little corn cobs in Chinese food?"

Ig, I was about to answer "no" but then people piped up with existence proofs for the contrary position.

I think I will go to bed.

[Stephanie Nene Not Your Normal Granma]

A gas station owner in Arkansas was trying to increase his sales, so he put up a sign that read:

*** "FREE SEX w/fill-up ... just guess the right number between 1 & 10.” ***

Soon a local redneck pulled in, filled his tank, and asked for his FREE SEX.

The owner told him to pick a number from 1 to 10. If he guessed correctly, he would get his FREE SEX.

The redneck guessed ‘8’. The proprietor said, "You were close. The number was ‘7’. Sorry, but no FREE SEX this time."

A week later, the same redneck, along w/his brother, Bubba, pulled in for another fill-up. Again he asked for his FREE SEX.

The proprietor again gave him the same story, and asked him to guess the correct number.

The redneck guessed ‘2’ this time.

The proprietor said, "Sorry, it was ‘3’. You were close, but no FREE SEX this time."

As they were driving away, the redneck said to his brother, "I think that game is rigged, and he doesn't really give away FREE SEX."

Bubba replied, "No. it ain't, Billy Ray. It ain't rigged. My wife won twice last week."

daddy,

In bed, and before I did , I took 2 shell coated 80 mg aspirin, Advice of my Mayo doctor. Only have to take one at night of the uncoated ones.

So far it seems to be working. No heart attacks in the last 8 years.

[Captain Hate]

I agree OSU would be a better choice tha OU. At least they know the concept of defense.

Maryland rang up 51 points on them and it would've been 53 if the reserve QB could've hit a wide open receiver. There are the two teams left and everyone else.
