Going through Trump speeches to update our database. He tells audiences the opioid bill passed “very little Democrat support.” The vote was 98 to 1, with only Utah Sen. Mike Lee (R) opposing it. The House passed it 393 to 8. Even a rare bipartisan achievement can’t be celebrated?

I’ve been blocked from posting on their page, but please feel free to add your voice. Before I was blocked, I was told by them (Erin Phillips is the president) that the anti-bullying laws would cover transgender children just fine, blah, blah, blah.

Funny.. but so damn fake.
I’ve been back from Japan for 2 days, I’m nearly recovered and wondering why the hell I came back. Well, to vote my absentee ballot, of course!
The last 36 hours of my trip was kind of crazy. I got lost in northern Kyoto, did a ton of walking, got back to the hotel to pick up my bag, did more walking at the train station, more walking at Kansai airport, more walking at the Honolulu airport and more walking in Phoenix when I got back. Around 12-13 miles of walking, to be exact. My legs swelled up; my calves were as tight as bowling pins from water retention. (They’re not now, thankfully.)
But I had the best time and I want to go back. In fact, I’m kicking around ideas for my next trip.
I met these two guys at a potter’s studio in Shigaraki, located in Shiga prefecture. There are a zillion potters in that city and you could spend a month just going from one to another.

Spain Plans To Move Franco’s Remains To A Madrid Cathedral
Decades after his death, Spain’s government passed legation [sic] allowing officials to move the remains of the country’s ex-dictator Francisco Franco out of the giant memorial that he built for himself.
STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:
Spain is altering what some see as a monument to fascism. By the end of this year, the Spanish government plans to exhume the remains of the late dictator Francisco Franco from a national monument. That same monument holds the remains of more than 33,000 people who fought on both sides of the Spanish Civil War, which brought Franco to power. As Lucia Benavides reports, there are unresolved questions in Spain’s past.
The Valle de los Caidos is incredible. The stone cross is 500 feet tall.
The monument was built in the 1950s and took up a major part of the national budget. NPR tells us that part of the labor force was made up of imprisoned Republicans. I have to admit I like the sound of that. Other than also being supported by Russia, though, these were very different Republicans.

A new Anthem would have no baggage at all and be written in a way that it would be more versatile. Even if we retained the old Anthem, there would be a whole class of patriotic songs that would be more inclusive, varied and in a wide variety of musical genres.

If we did that I dread seeing “Gawd Bless The U.S.A.” as the new Anthem.
re: #90 Joe Bacon 🌹
Gawd Bless the USA wouldn’t quality. It isn’t new, and more than that, under copyright by someone for who’s it is his only hit. The new Anthem would have to be in public domain so that people aren’t paying out their asses to play it at grade school baseball games. Also, we would also have a whole new class of great runner up songs as well.
Pitch from the state party:
There’s about two weeks left in this election and I know you are receiving a lot of appeals.
This one is a GAME CHANGER. We are poised to make history by electing an openly gay man—Scott Winkler—to the Nebraska Legislature in LD 18. Donate now to make history in Nebraska. (goes to Act Blue)
How close is Scott?
• The Victory Fund, a national group that supports LGBTQIA candidates across the nation, is spending resources on this race.
• VBM numbers for Democrats in this district are 60 percent ahead of Republicans.
WE CAN’T AFFORD TO LET THIS OPPORTUNITY PASS.
Will you join me in helping to get Scott elected?
Will you donate $25 or $50 to his campaign?
Will you join me in Omaha on Nov. 3 and Nov. 4 to get out the vote for Scott?
Scott is running to provide equal opportunity for better jobs, education and healthcare for the people of LD-18, and all Nebraska families. He believes every family should have fair access and the tools they need to be able to live the ‘Good Life’ in Nebraska.
LET’S MAKE HISTORY TOGETHER!
In Solidarity,
Joe Shaw
Nebraska Democratic Party’s LGBTQIA Caucus Chair
P.S. Please don’t miss this chance to make history. This race may be decided by a couple of votes. Make a donation to Scott’s campaign now.

Sometimes I think the “Feminism has made women unhappy” is a form of projection. They are unhappy because it used to be that some women felt they needed a husband regardless of how unpleasant the man was-and so some women settled for men like them. Nowadays, women feel they can live on their own and have a real choice as to whether or not to even marry.

“Accuse the other side of that which you are doing” also works as “It is projection with those (insert epithet) always.”
Funny how there don’t seem to be any liberal incels, either.

Well, you know, back then women weren’t encouraged, or for that matter even allowed to express their unhappiness. So, if you’re an unfeeling prick, and a moron to boot, you might think that women were happier than they are now that they can actually express it.
This is the same thinking that says blacks were happier as slaves, because they never complained.

When my mother and father were married, she wanted to borrow money to purchase a used Nash for them from someone in town.
She went down to the bank and came back a few minutes later with a loan for the car.
My father asked “Don’t I need to sign for that?” (Women were generally not permitted to borrow money on their own name in the late Fifties.)
Her answer was “Why, they don’t know you.”
He went down to the bank and got the same answer.
That was in the days when bankers generally knew their customers personally. While our banks here know my wife and me personally, in larger cities or mega-banks that’s not possible.

Those were the old days when banks offered community services, like home and business loans, and savings accounts for kids to stash their allowance. Now, banks are profit-making enterprises to benefit the owners and top executives, who don’t even live in the same state as the bank branch is in.

I started my bike shop when a guy I used to ride with told me I could do a better job if I opened my own shop than if I stayed at the shop I was working at with and for two bozos. He said I could get a loan. He was the president of a local bank. I submitted the business plan I had been working on (once in a while) for ten years. I got the ‘yes’ in half an hour. (He also let me ride without fear on some private property; ‘I know the owners, they won’t mind, I hold the paper on this’.)

Community banking went downhill when the feds allowed S&Ls to branch out into investment banking, and banks to operate across state boundaries. Sure, it helped the banking industry and made them more competitive, but the collateral damage was customer service. How many people know the president of their bank personally now?

Twenty years later, the same bank in Michigan my mother got her loan from (where I had my savings account) gave me a loan over the telephone when I was stationed at NAS Memphis.
I got the cheque in the mail with a note attached to the paperwork asking me to fill it in as soon as possible.

Don’t try this at home, folks. Leave it to the pros.
Well, my new copy of Winamp crashed. It tried to send a bug report home by opening an E-mail in Outlook.
Turns out the E-mail address Winamp inserts into the address bar is structured incorrectly and Outlook rejects it. (It says “Winamp bug report” rather than an E-mail address.)
Completely OT and apropos of nothing: As you may know, Mrs. Fish and I spent the last week exploring the city of Rome as part of our tenth wedding anniversary celebration. While there, we discovered something remarkable. Tucked away in the middle of metropolitan Rome is an archaeological excavation known as the Largo de Torre Argentina. It contains four ancient temples built during the Roman Republic era, before Julius Caesar. The excavation also uncovered the beginnings of the ruins of the Theatre of Pompey, upon whose steps the aforementioned Caesar was murdered on the ides of March, 44 BC. But most incredible of all was a modern development which I never would have foreseen. Behold, the Cats of Rome:
They turned it into a cat shelter. They house dozens of cats inside a structure that has been built out of an ancient temple underneath the street. They care for the sick and lame ones (Italy has a strict no-kill law) and let those who are well enough roam free amongst the fallen statues and crumbling bricks.

As though Al Gore invented global warming. This is a quote from The World We Live In, a fantastic coffee table science book published by real journalists at Time-Life back in 1955:
Yet for the past century, temperatures have shown an upward trend. This has been particularly true in the last four decades (since 1915- SK), during which glaciers have been in retreat all around the world. The reasons for this gradual warming of the Earth cannot be defined with certainty. Along with water vapor and ozone, carbon dioxide helps to trap the Earth’s heat within the greenhouse of the atmosphere and prevents it from radiating away into space. In the last half century, the carbon dioxide ratio in the atmosphere has increased by 10%, a phenomenon which some attribute to expanding industry, pointing out that six billion tons of carbon dioxide pour from factory chimneys every year.

re: #47 sagehen
I think of this era as a time where social drinking and social gambling was barely noticed. Lincoln no doubt did his share of both while schmoozing legislators and delegates in the infamous “smokefilled rooms” of the day. His gambling would only be noticed if it was excessive rather than a modest indulgence. He definitely would have skills in that area. Not a master, but good enough. Also Obama is a pretty good poker player which helped him dealing with the Illinois legislature as well.

Winamp has been resurrected. The company has a beta version (really the last version with fixes for security problems and such), with a new version coming out soon.
A leaked version of Winamp 5.8 recently spread over the Internet. Consequently, we have decided to make this new version available to you, revised by us.
We therefore recommend that you download this version rather than any other as we guarantee it is safe for you to use.
They are updating Winamp to handle such things as video streaming and podcasting, which didn’t exist when the program was first released.
(You can currently stream video or podcasts in the latest version of Winamp if you have the URL.)
It has a couple new skins, along with the classic ultra-tiny radio button skin.
