I don't see any drones in that pic. Oh, he didn't give them drones, he gave them money. I see.

Medicine Man, Sean Connery. I saw it when it came out, will finish watching tonight, can't remember how it ends. I recently got the suspicion that someone I knew was the inspiration for a character in the movie.

It is said that when Captain Cook began his Pacific islands exploration that the natives could not understand why there were no white women. They suspected these whiteys were a homosexual race, but couldn't figure out how they reproduced. Maybe some dingbat on the far right will interpret Pete's ideas as part of a far-left gay agenda and run the guy out of town. Actually he'd fit right in as a Congress member, that's a drunkard's job. There is a vid clip out there of former House Speaker John Boehner entertaining his grandchildren in his office, he explains that he spends his days playing with the gee-gaws on his desk and drinking wine. Tongue-in-cheek, of course, but "Grandpa, how come your breath smells weird?" It would be interesting to know at what time of day each takes their first drink, maybe someone could put together a chart. There was a state rep in California some years ago who let slip that his day begins with a cup of coffee. With a shot of brandy in it. Lindsey Graham? Does anybody really think his eyes look like that naturally?

A harsh and rapid punishment, but when he gets back to Borat-istan word is going to spread that you do not mess with the Thais, not even the street fruit vendors. All he had to do was behave decently, but that was asking too much.

He is a criminal whether you think so or not. I think you will win the lottery soon, buy up those chits!

I worked in mom & pop store in NYC, time reference is Gerald Ford. One day I'm out front having a breath and run into a former high school classmate. The guy is black. Mom & pop were an interracial couple, she was black. She saw us talking and told me so, I guess she was impressed. She would bring it up in the future and always referred to him as "that boy." And this is in Greenwich Village. Always found that curious.

If we live long enough we just might learn what it was that GHW Bush did that kept him awake at night. It happened some time between 1974 and 1981 -- don't know what exactly it was (probably more than one thing) but he sure as hell behaved like he was guilty. IMO it was something during the Carter admin where the party of "we don't negotiate with terrorists" tough guys clandestinely negotiated the deal to get the Iran hostages released on Ronny's inauguration day. IMO Bush wanted to be president so he could destroy evidentiary records. Notice his lack of enthusiasm during the 1992 attempt at re-election compared to his "blood in the water" 1988 campaign. The deed was done, he could go on his way, "computer chips or potato chips, what do I care?" DISCLAIMER: this post makes no insinuations regarding the assassination attempt on Ronny.

Talk about a sick joke!

Something familiar with that scenario . . . Probably saw it in a movie

He had a chance to get Maduro dumped during his first term, He disappeared from the incident when Vlad took control -- Maduro was ready to leave the palace and get in a plane, the guy who won tried to hop the fence to get in. Yet another episode of "Who's Your Daddy" for the proud POTUS.

Story might change if they search his house/apartment and find a yaba stash.

Poor excuse. Keith Richard has been dead for 15 years and no one has noticed anything different about him.

Of the 7 deadly sins, sloth, lust and gluttony sound like plans for a holiday weekend. Leave the guy alone: was there coercion? Aside from the payment, the girls can say they boffed a prince from England. Takwe off, hoser!

So I'm out walking with my wife, and there's this guy taking a survey, he asks "how often do you have sex?" Sex, jeez, maybe once a month. Then my wife says "5 or 6 times a week." RIP Rodney Dangerfield

There's a US comedian named Bill Burr, who says his kid is really into AC/DC, even dressing like them. Makes his papa proud.

Egads! Keith Moon would have met his match bashing all that up.

Translation into DT babble: "everyone is saying. . ."

He is going full gaslight: grocery prices are shooting up, and he is telling them otherwise, and is coming up with a new wave of "official numbers." Faith-based governance, but not by the usual use of that word.

Grab what, blondie?

Could it be a certain tangerine-colored world leader has been setting up favors that he hopes will result in him getting a Nobel Peace Prize?

"One person can make a difference."

I didn't realize she was that much older than him.

The only thing I like about the US right-wing boosters is that they hate each other, each tearing at the other like hyenas. My favorite was Limbaugh telling the world O'Reilly was Ted Baxter. (If you don't know, Ted Baxter was a caricature of a US teevee "news personality ", ask any Yank over age 50). Someday Meghan Kelly and Janine Pirro will have their death match, might be worth a trip Madison Square Garden for that.

If Thailand banned the possession/distribution of straws it will show in future tourist numbers. If Thailand started encouraging Pakistanis to visit, there will be a different tone to Pattaya street rumbles.

Other than the Lao, is there any neighboring country LOS does not have animosity toward? Maybe no need for the shared border part, they don't think highly of Singapore either.
