  1. The infrastructure in the U.S. has deteriorated to the point that it doesn't need external factors to fail. Neglect and steadily increasing demand will do the trick.
  2. My bride is far, far better at home maintenance tasks than her groom is. I believe in hiring people.
  3. Interesting that Escobar is listed as an outfielder.
  4. "A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it." - Max Planck. Applicable to social norms as well, I think.
  5. Is Prince Albert in there?
  6. By the way, were I to look at one single profession that produces what I think is the best background to lead this country, I'd say take a good long look at the pool of retired astronauts.
  7. Well, for one thing the system of checks and balances was put in the Constitution to help make sure bad things are not done too efficiently. Efficient != good, necessarily.
  8. I understand there is a proposal to transplant Ted I think there is a proposal to graft Ted Williams' head onto Torii Hunter's body. Hey, it worked out well for Ray Milland and Rosey Grier, didn't it?
  9. "At least the trains ran on time."
  10. Out of curiosity, what makes people think that there's any previous experience that prepares someone for the variety of major (sometimes life and death) decisions that a national leader is required to make? Have you watched the way being President has aged those who serve in that role? Nothing prepares a person for that, I think. And isn't the point of having a cabinet, chairman of the Joint Chief's, even a VP, ambassadors, even Congress, to bring many peoples' previous experience to bear in arriving at a final decision?
  11. I'd be happy with a position where they interact a lot with their future constituents. I rather believe the mission of government is to act on behalf of The People.
  12. Should people be accountable for what they say? -- Yes. If I use what they say in one setting to marginalize their accomplishments in another, am I any better than they are? -- No.
  13. Yes. In before the rush...
  14. "In the long run, we are all regressed to the mean." - Not John Maynard Keynes.
  15. I'd like a large Cappuccino-Heath Blizzard, please.
  16. Amateurs. http://www.harryanddavid.com/h/chocolates-sweets-candy/truffles/26482
  17. Do they have any dog-friendly days planned at Target Field? I'd like to bring my kids to a game, too.
  18. Lotta hate in this thread. People would be well served looking in the mirror before jumping all over somebody else.
  19. I wonder if the number 48 follows suit.
  20. It would seem the larger change is happening in right field.
  21. I'm still trying to figure out what happened to Tom Bombadil.
  22. Getting any respectable science in the media can be considered a big win. This coming from a guy who watches superhero shows, zombie shows, and Doctor Who (which is kind of in between those two).
  23. You need to go back and watch (or re-watch) Marooned sometime.
  24. To become more positive.
