I too thought it was wrong to block the Garland vote, but the republicans were and are in power and I don’t think the midterms are going to change that. They can do what they want. Think for a minute about what would be fair to the Democrats. If I’m mcconnel I’m voting asap.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)The Red Hen thing is going to stick for a while, I think. It came out today that not only did the Red Hen owner get Sanders and her party up from a table and walk them out AFTER they had ordered meals, but the owner proceeded to follow the rest of Sanders’s party to another restaurant and call people to organize a protest at the other restaurant.
Despicable if you ask me. The Democrats are going to get somebody killed.
And, to think, Sarah Palin was lambasted for having little crosshairs on voting districts…it was considered inflammatory.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Indeed. It was closer than I figured it would be, since the President has broad powers under the constitution to set policy at and beyond the border (of course, we forget that when a Republican is in the WH).
The thing that really bothers me with respect to this case, however, is that the travel ban was put in place with an explicit window of reviewing and correcting vetting procedures. That window has LONG since passed, and so you have to wonder how sincere the “temporary” nature of the ban really was since we are still discussing.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I finished the book, too. Before I read it, I thought this was going to a bit more Enron-ish where highly technical details were used to create the fraud. But, no…
This was just pure amateur hour with very straightforward deceptions carried to the Nth degree. It was a junior high fraud that carried on so long because of the myth around EH, and the unwillingness of anyone to continue questioning the golden goose. The fact that Walgreens went live after investing $100 plus million without so much as a comparison test says all you need.
I came away from this thinking that a lot of older people were duped badly but it comes down to what the author says: fear of missing out.
What I can’t understand is how “enchanting” Holmes is described as. She is freaky strange, and many people knew she had no command of the technical details, which you can see just by listening to her interviews. She was a myth enabled by marketers and lawyers. Oh, and she is evil to boot. Many destroyed lives and damaged careers reside in her wake.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Hah. And of course Trump capitulates, only to be faced with the fact that the executive order runs afoul of…the law.
You can’tmake this up.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)It plays for headlines, but can someone here give me the alternative that does not include letting families pass into the country without detention?
I assume it means preparing family holding cells? I’m not against that, but it still belies the realities that the children are often with caretakers. What then?

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)My take is he wants a political career, and the other than honorable discharge won’t hurt him on his way to that.
To each his own. He probably would have been fragged vs. an OTH discharge in a different time, so he’s likely safer where he is going.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)What’s the answer to the driving distance thing? Do you take some juice out of the ball or regulate drivers? Always been a surprise to me how much technology has changed in golf without much corresponding change in the game (other than moving tee boxes back).

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Thanks. I never thought about the greens varying so much during the day (other than with rain).

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Obama is far more responsible for Hillary skating as Trump is for any Russian conspiracy.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I knew far too many people who were “out there” in my years at Stanford.
I bet, like with Tiger, Stanford’s marketers were thrilled that EH spent a year at Stanford, until they weren’t.
