Well, perhaps a slightly less sane compromise would be spending cuts. Oh, that's what the House has passed. mspart

Shares of Bud Light parent company Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD) are down 7.6% since the company reported earnings May 4 as the Dylan Mulvaney controversy continues to weigh on the beer giant's sales. Bud Light sales during the week of May 6 declined 23.6% compared to the same time period last year, according to data from Bump Williams Consulting and Nielsen NIQ cited by Evercore ISI. That's a slightly larger decline than the prior week ending April 29, which saw Bud Light sales down 23.4% year-over-year. Following the initial boycott, sales were down 6.9% for the week ending April 8. It's the fourth straight week of declining sales for Bud Light — and comes after Mulvaney, a transgender influencer and TikTok personality, made an Instagram post during March Madness basketball endorsing the beer. The hurt continues. And it is across the AB product line. Not good news for AB or Inbev. mspart

I think this is something interesting to look into. Right now, it is next to impossible to get a person committed. Thanks Theo! mspart

Sounds like Colorado Springs made a good choice. Hopefully so. mspart

In a national survey of 2,000 people conducted by McLaughlin and Associates over a four-day period beginning on May 4, nearly 61% of voters polled agreed with the statement that “House Republicans have done their jobs and passed a responsible debt ceiling increase, now President Biden and Senate Democrats must do their job and negotiate a compromise. It looks like Pres Biden is listening to the American People by caving to the Rs and negotiating regarding spending cuts to go along with a debt ceiling increase. Good for him. mspart

May I repeat myself. Trump should not be running for Prez and I don't want him running for Prez. He is toxic. I don't think Biden is the #1 danger to democracy, but I believe cultural things going on are. In addition, public apathy towards government is probably #2 danger to democracy. mspart

How does "don't exist while gay" enter into the issue with the teacher? mspart

Food snob is correct!! mspart

Portayianni, like you would know. mspart

Where do I sign up? mspart

I am giving here my intent to crash the party and enter the WTTs as a competitor. After WTTs I might have 1 or 2 arms less than I have now, but it will be worth it. They will let me in right? mspart

Ironic isn't it? mspart

Any medallist losing would be a huge upset. But that's why they hold these events. mspart

Maybe so. He should cough it up. mspart

You got that right. Better when played at maximum volume!! mspart

The rumor is all true. mspart

In the end it is his decision and he will have to live with it. Maybe it was a good decision. Maybe he would have been terribly injured. One can't know. As long as he is happy with the decision, that is what matters. mspart

I agree, the decision to leave was not horrific. The execution of that decision was. mspart

You know, he could have waited and got all the munitions out. Or he could have started getting all of the munitions out some time in advance. Perhaps he knew Taliban were closing in and that is why he rushed the schedule and they were just not ready for the evacuation. Whatever it was, it was a horrible fiasco that they did fall on their sword for but have never fessed up to the reality of the dismal failure of an operation that it was. mspart

That makes a horrific decision palatable? mspart

There you go. I love that song. Great tune and great intro. Farner was on his A game that day. mspart

It all sounds great until it doesn't. Gun control - Now only criminals have the guns because they don't care about the law. How many crimes have been committed by law abiding citizens? None. Oh, and here in Seattle, if you do a crime with a gun, they waive the gun charge. Yep, that is correct. You can illegally use a weapon and not pay a cost for it legally. Like they want the bad guys to have guns and use them. Defund police. Now crime is rampant in every big city in America. Don't prosecute - Now crime is rampant in every big city in America. Criminals stay on the street even if arrested. WA - Police cannot chase cars - Result is there are faster speeds on the roads and a rapid rise of car theft. Oh, and the thieves are not apprehended or prosecuted so they stay on the street. I really just want these politicians to have their car stolen or something similar and the police can't do a thing for them. I don't want them physically hurt, just bearing the brunt of their policies that others are living with everyday due to their indifference. These all sound good, until they don't. And by then it is tough to put the genie back in the bottle. mspart

Yeah? What did you say? mySQL and wordpress? No comprendo hoss. mspart

You can't go back. mspart

I'm not at all sure that is true. mspart
