  1. I'd say arrogance. "You can't tell me who to hire!"
  2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVrEwCa8nSA
  3. Yeah, I kept wondering when they would break off and track.
  4. And it seems as though you do not remember history. They were not investigating Nixon, at first. Jerry Baumchen And later, I remember seeing people driving around with bumper stickers that said "stop persecuting my president ."
  5. Sometimes you have to repeat a point, in case anyone has a reading comprehension problem.
  6. Although we weren't here in 1995 I'll wager it didn't bother you nearly as much when Bill Clinton sacked Director Sessions, a Reagan appointee. Well, if we had sworn testimony of over 100 FBI agents saying that Comey had made numerous and severe ethical failures, and there was a 161 page report documenting such, the cases might be similar.
  7. I think that Comey would make a good independent investigator, now that he isn't busy.
  8. Yeah, but then he won't be able to release it, because it will be under audit.
  9. Ahhh...so it is a homing snake! I don't get it. homing snake? homing like a pigeon The prodigal snake has returned -- kill the fatted coyote.
  10. There are 11 states in the US that have more than 30% of the population under 65 having pre-existing conditions. All 11 voted for Trump. Good luck to anyone who is self-employed, or laid off, or working for a smaller company without group insurance.
  11. "Unbelievable" is a word I used.
  12. Nothing, if you have plenty of money and don't mind negotiating every bill. One of the annoying things about medical bills is that they usually bill much higher to the insurers than they will be paid per agreement, even though they know the allowed amount up front. They can also bill uninsured individuals at higher amounts than the negotiated insurer rates. I had a quick surgery with one night stay in hospital last year -- the hospital billed my insurer about $130k, of which they were paid $37k. What would I have been on the hook for, as an uninsured individual? No idea, but I expect more than $37k. I have a friend (skydiver, ~60 years old) who elects to go uninsured. He said that doctors will give him a 15% discount, as an uninsured person paying cash. What I don't know is how much higher his "discounted" price is, if any, than the insurer's rate.
  13. That works until it doesn't. My wife's medical costs last year came to about $160k, and mine were close to $50k. Mine should be back to normal this year (i.e., maybe half of what insurance costs or less), but hers will exceed $200k.
  14. I'd rather pay for someone else's care for a pre-existing illness than to have one myself that someone else pays for.
  15. Somewhat, but we wouldn't be seeing the same loony actions by the POTUS.
  16. You don't want to do a Google search for Alaskan Python.
  17. The plan is to have ISIS laugh themselves to death.
  18. Based upon what I am hearing on the news, you should plan on taking a sleeping bag. Motels all over this state are selling out fast; and at a very high dollar rate. Jerry Baumchen Yeah, I was on the Oregon coast last month, and they were pretty much booked already. I'll overnight in Bend with friends.
  19. I'm planning to visit Madras on August 21st. Maybe we can get in a night jump at 10:19 in the morning.
  20. More attempted illegal voter suppression for upcoming runoff in Georgia: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/georgia-voter-registration-runoff-ossoff_us_58f90c7ce4b06b9cb91505f8?8y&ncid=inblnkushpmg00000009 Kemp has a background of that: http://www.projectvote.org/press-releases/voting-rights-group-sues-ga-sec-state-brian-kemp-voter-registration-records/
