Is that the opposite of "Jesus Take the Wheel?"

He's term-limited I think.

That's not the typical application of the poophole loophole, but I approve of it.

That 20 year ban on negotiating drug prices passed with only Republican votes in the dead of night, holding the vote open until they convinced enough Republicans to change their vote.

And every single negative thing in that bill gets blamed on Obamacare.

My wife is a vet tech, there's a chance that's a very tiny tick. But it is also really hard to tell from that photo.

I can't see any way that they win this case on the merits of the argument.

But if I'm wrong and they win, a whole lot of lawsuits are gonna disappear. That's a terrible precedent to set.

I wonder if they have some longer term strategy here because this story is far too damaging over a 50k payout.

Like maybe they make an insane argument to undermine arbitration clauses so they can win elsewhere.

Because this is a maliciously bad look for Disney. Nobody should ever have to think about streaming contracts while deciding where to eat.

My car broke down one night after dropping a friend off at his place.

I was about ten miles from home in a very hilly area.

A guy in a car around my size pulled over, pulled out a tow strap, and carefully got me home, even though the strap came off every other turn or so.

I tipped him with the rest of the meager cash I has.

A few weeks later he dropped by and asked me to sign up for his pyramid scheme. But the nice driver part was days earlier, I don't hold that against him.

I live in northern Minnesota. We understand that if someone is on the side of the road - especially in winter - that can be a crisis.

I have never been roadside in Minnesota while waiting for a tow truck without multiple people stopping to see if I'm okay.

We look after each other, but this was an exceptional story.

Also had a guy find me with a flat who had an air tank in his car, but it was empty. So he took us with him to get air and then filled my tire up and stayed with me and my wife until he was sure it was properly filled. Wasn't even winter, just cold and rainy.

Abortion is on the ballot everywhere, and I'd be amazed if that doesn't motivate a ton of non-political people.

Vote, everyone, while ya still can!

I grew up on Shel Silverstein, and then discovered his music during my stoner 20s. Such joy to be found!

Well, there's "information wanted to be free" software pirates who might consider themselves Communists.

But Tankies are a whole different ball of dung.
