  1. It's pretty unbearable. I'm trying to find the video of when she started using a French accent on a trip to France.
  2. News to me. I didn't know. Thought they were the same. Learned something new.
  3. And higher prices for Thai consumers. Just as with durians.
  4. Somebody born in California and raised in Canada with two parents with PhDs does not sound like this. This is beyond cringe.
  5. Why did Kamala Harris spend Labor Day trying to sound like Stepin Fetchit? I know his ancestors were from Jamaica too. But????
  6. After Bob Newhart died about six weeks ago, I decided to watch Newhart, as I had never seen a single episode. Finished going through it a few days ago. It's really low brow stuff. Disappointing. The three woodsmen, Larry, Darryl, and the other Darryl, is just outright stupid. Bad ensemble acting. At the end Bob looked like he had decided to check out early. Such a contrast to Newhart's earliere series, The Bob Newhart Show, which I've also been rewatching. I enjoyed it at its first run and it's still funny today. Sophisticated, understated humor, with hyperactive characters being barely under control. One of the best ensembles in TV history, with the psych patients. Howard Borden does wear thin, but the rest never do so.
  7. According to Wiki, the population is 3000, with close to 96 percent either British or American. Another 1000 were indigenous who were deported in the early 70s. Many of them will have died since then. Seems obvious that any vote will be for continued British control. So, give'em the vote.
  8. Scholz and Starmer getting together to plot more immigration. Getting their marching orders from somebody.
  9. More and more and more publicizing of these type incidents!
  10. If one of the two drivers had managed to control their temper and just let the incident pass, nothing further would have happened.
  11. Gordon Chang says China is submitting high bids for liquified natural gas in order to prevent Thailand from getting a sufficient amount of energy for its factories. Reason is, he says, China fears Thai manufacturers undercutting Chinese ones.
  12. Both Shins have more service ribbons than did Eisenhower.
  13. Why can't he just shut up? This is why people don't want him as president. I know I don't want to continue to hear this sort of stuff for another four years. I just want it to go away.
  14. How many 'meskins?
  15. Is it still safe to click on emojis?
  16. Is that a throne in the back of that pickup truck?
  17. You don't mean a military coup, do you? The generals have been sidelined. Prawit out of the coalition and Prayuth into a more prestigious long term position.
  18. I don't see an apology from the Chinese woman. All I see is someone screeching like Donald Sutherland at the end of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
  19. And now both parties get to spend hours at the police station, giving statements, making apologies, and taking a group photo.
  20. Once they get here, they'll never leave. Happens everywhere Somalis go. They'll just disappear into the background and underground economy.
  21. How many times have I seen this headline and this story? And we always end up back here, at ground zero dollar.
