Yeah, Hillary Clinton has two weeks to live; this has been the case since 2016 according to the trash tabloids on display at the supermarket check-outs in the US. And next week is infrastructure week.

You might recall Mitch McConnell being noted for the same discoloration a few years back. https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucelee/2020/10/23/why-senator-mitch-mcconnells-hand-appears-discolored-here-are-some-possibilities/ If further interested do a search, there are probably better articles.

Someone explained this to me a few weeks ago. Hey, I'm a city boy, to me a chicken is a frozen bird in a plastic bag. The price of industrial eggs has gone up to the range that organic eggs are in. By industrial I mean eggs you buy in a regular supermarket or megastore (like Walmart). The bird sickness has not affected the organic farms (Allahu!). So if they cost the same might as well go for the small farm organic, support local biz, etc. There has also been something going on in various states in recent months that all eggs sold must be cage-free. I have some suspicions about this egg-pocalypse happening at this particular time, but I'm not going to go Bobby Kennedy over it. In other US shopping news the price of coffee is commencing to rise; if you've been watching the commodity markets this shouldn't be a surprise. I wonder if the tariff blackguards are going to make it even worse.

Traveling at 3,000 miles per hour? Atmospheric pressure beneath the bottom of the Atlantic? So, sounds like they'd need a solid, pressurized environment. Like the one that popped when those people went to see the remains of the Titanic?

There will have to be a station halfway through where it stops and everyone pays the DT tariff.

As if you don"t? He who smelt it dealt it.

Perhaps some pegging was on the agenda. He's gonna be seeing Vlad soon, maybe he wants a little training.

See? It's you guys posting bad things about the Chinese that turned them away! I hope you all are proud of yourselves!

British politics equiv of Marjorie Greene.

So this bottom-feeder is kissing the orange backside, figures.

The most clever thing he did (publicly) was that thing about a certain candidate in the 2016 primaries having small hands. And even that he got from John Oliver. Remember that thing with the water bottle? My guess there is at some point he took a seminar and was taught to maintain eye contact with the audience; but that's for sales, not political speeches to a crowd. I rate Marco as an empty suit. Forget about DT's appointees, the only policy positions they can have is "what the da boss sez."

A real 21st Century Bonnie and Clyde is what they are. The real punishment is going to be when people ask them what they were arrested for, and they'll all laugh when they hear "bag snatching."

They let you into the country, all documents inspected of course, and a few days later they arrest you. That's the way it's been for decades. About 20 years ago a spirited lad at BBC was at odds with W Bush declaring an "axis of evil" and set out to prove him wrong, just because. The first sentence of this post is what happened in Iran. Other countries were Cuba, and N Korea (I think, I missed that episode). By the end of the show he came to the full realization that it was a bad idea.

Sounds like they were stumbling drunk. I would guess one of the pluses of being in LOS for the Indians is they can be at ease about poison liquor, not like back home. Do a search, no shortage of such incidents. Oh yeah, and don't forget the extra straws (gotta keep the cliches going!).

Maybe a little entertainment for them before arriving. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120620

He's a militant vegan because he and his cherish all forms of life. And if you disagree with him he'll kill you.

Says it all.

Only the sensi!

Great line!

Actually this is getting common in the US with comedians. Do people really buy tickets to these shows to get a preaching or are they there to laugh?

As recently as the 2000 decade when taking the minibus to cross from Malaysia via Sadao the driver would collect the pps while we all waited in the van. There was also some baksheesh involved, I think it was 100b tucked in the pp. This was a big thing in India in the 1970s. There was a whole theatrical performance involving the inspection and rejection of bad notes, mimicked wherever travelers were meeting up. The real purpose was to get more money from you: e.g. you would be offered 9 rupees for your 10 rupee note. This became a running scam on the Ranong visa run, the touts would tell you that your less-than-pristine US notes will be unacceptable by the Burmese. Here is another one, very popular in Bkk 1975: a young couple would be walking down the street, and when you cross paths the guy points to gf and says "you want woman?" while she stands there smiling. Never acted on it, I figured it was an attempted rip-off -- where I come from that kind of setup was called a "murphy." I was staying near Hualumpong, where on the street it was a regular occurrence. But the advantage of staying in that area was the fortune teller lady who sold weed, and the Chinese hotel/restaurant/bordello didn't mind smoking it in the rooms.

Musician celebrities as politicians. Too bad they can't bring back the dead ones -- we could get Tchaikovsky's opinion on how to handle Somali pirates and US seizure of the Panama Canal. Anyone remember Celebrity Death Match? I'd have liked to see them do Waters vs Bono. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0208614/

Kind of looks like Vang Vieng in Lao. The gov't there had enough of the teenage wasteland thing and cleaned it up. Looks like MHS is the new place to be. I gotta wonder how much the BiB squeezes from these kids.

My shaving fetish is Edge shaving gel. Never saw it in any SEA country. Women love it for shaving their legs. A few have stolen mine on the way out.
