I have Mount Char on my to read list, but Time War was a dnf for me. Just could not get into it.
What did you expect the fine people in his district to do, vote for the Democrat?
The market for erotic fiction is huge (think romance novels) and is primarily aimed at and consumed by women. I've always thought (and I think there are some studies to back it up) that women and men process sexual desire differently - visually for men vs cerebrally for women. Although I do think that as pornography has become more socially acceptable those differences may be less pronounced.
The only strategic thinking that McCarthy seems capable of is, "How can I keep my job today?"
He could have been more bipartisan, he could have made deals across the aisle, he could have reigned in some of the clownshow investigations his side of the aisle have been promoting. He might have been able to put together a centrist coalition that would have neutered the Freedumb Caucus. But McCarthy, like most Congressional Republicans, is incapable of complex thought.
And now he's stuck. If he makes a deal with the Democrats to avert a shutdown he loses his job. If there's an extended government shutdown a lot of Republicans are going to lose their jobs next year. Not to mention the pain a shutdown will cause to ordinary Americans (as if any Republican cared about that).
Yep, nothing but the best snake oil for the rubes. Republicans love their crooked businessmen.
Not going to downvote you because your tastes are your tastes. But it's kind of sad that the artists you like can't come up with more than one or two good songs per album. Or maybe it's the industry itself since so few people buy albums. When I used to buy albums my favorite song was never the hit single.
Linda Ronstadt - What’s New (that will throw a few folks off the trail)
Not really, your tastes are very similar to mine. Although "What's New" was just a gateway drug and now my music library is full of albums by Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Anita O'Day, Carmen McRae, Joao Gilberto, Frank Sinatra and more.
Now come on, she wasn't actually on her knees in the theater. Unless there's some unpublished photos out there (asking for a friend).
The entire Freedumb Caucus is still on board. The "shocking" revelation that Biden hasn't committed any impeachable acts isn't going to deter the GQP at all.
I just finished the book and thought it was better than the movie (although very different). I liked the cinematography and atmosphere of the movie, but it just moved too slowly for me.
Doing my bit to support the open web. Plus, while it's probably just familiarity, I've always felt that Firefox works with me while Chrome works against me.
At the time of this photo, Union Pacific 3985, a Challenger class 4-6-6-4, was the largest operating steam locomotive in existence. This locomotive was donated by Union Pacific to a museum and has been replaced in excursion service by an even larger 4-8-8-4 Big Boy locomotive.

The Grumman F7F Tigercat is a heavy fighter aircraft that served with the United States Navy (USN) and United States Marine Corps (USMC) from late in World War II until 1954. It was the first twin-engine fighter to be deployed by the USN. While the Tigercat was delivered too late to see combat in World War II, it saw action as a night fighter and attack aircraft during the Korean War.

No official announcement yet, but today's point release has gone live. I just updated 112 packages.

It’s a cult. MAGAts need deprogramming, not negative ads.
And this particular group are not good guys, either.
