One Man Banned

Forgot one thing- Dems and others need to stop trying to make zingers at Trump involving the literal use of his name- it's gotten mad old and isn't funny anymore, if it ever was. Think they need to stick to politics and leave the jokes for the comedians.

Figure there are 1 or 2 of you who are happy with how the vote went. I saw the last few minutes on up to where the president was talking at the WH. Some random thoughts, there's a lot of security around Congress, the WH, yet that bus load of Republicans got stopped at traffic lights and there appeared to only be like 3-4 security vehicles accompanying them, guess I thought they would have cleared the way for them. Has there been many times where so many congressmen have been invited to the WH over something like this? Looking at the stage it looked mainly like a bunch of rich old white men gloating and holding each other's dicks. Was nice of Jimmy Kimmel to lend his support with his story, but then I'm thinking- he's Jimmy Kimmel. He has insurance through the network, sure, but even if he didn't, pretty certain dude could pay the whole bill for his son in cash. Probably got star treatment the whole way through, not what most Americans face. Find it a little hard to believe that the insurance companies are going under because of Obamacare. They make money on the gamble that you're not going to get sick and use your benefits, and even when you do use your benefits someone is monitoring them trying to get you to use as little as possible. Also curious what actually makes care expensive. As seen recently with some individuals, they take a needed medication and jack the price up astronomically, so we know that at least certain treatments do not cost as much as you are charged.

Kind of minimalist, but basic can still be quite good. Not sure I approve of throwing any leafy greens on a pizza (except fresh basil of course), especially after cooking. I had one once and wasn't fully feeling it- there's nothing to hold the greens in place and they don't cook and blend with the other ingredients. Can't realy take it to go as the greens wilt, can't reheat for kind of the same reason although I guess you can just take the greens off and add them on again at the end. Anyone else want to weigh in on leafy greens on pizza? Also how about chicken? I've heard claims that it doesn't belong on pizza but I have seen it work.

You're in a different country/economy, what do you usually pay for a slice? A NY slice is going to be maybe $2.50. There's a few places that will sell $1 slices but you tend to get what you pay for with that. A NY slice should be roughly the size of 2 slices from anywhere else. I forget exactly how long I lived in NYC but wen I got there there was almost a pizzeria on every block. Surprisingly, a lot of them sucked and you had to look around for what was really good.

Out the game temporarily, bad pollen allergies have had me running a fever since Sunday night. Pretty brutal, this shit should be dropped on Isis.

@misteraven You promised Ja Rule and an island and we expect you to deliver.

I tend to shoot panels if I'm at a distance to give a closer look at the piece, if I'm up against the freights like walking a line, or if there are elements of the background that might reveal something I don't want known, like a location specific. Otherwise context matters, especially since freights are mobile and the context changes. I'm used to seeing grain mills/silos in the Midwest and think it's cool you included that in the shot up above. You also have to figure that a guy who rocked a freight in the snow of Canada might like to see that freight caught in opposite conditions, like the desert of New Mexico for example. People also seem to like having their pieces caught on a high RR bridge so you see the train and bridge against the sky. Anyhow, yes, context matters.

Watched The Interview. Started up kind of funny but could not hold that together for the rest of the movie. Some enhancements from beer and such may have made it seem funnier at first. Think that group of guys like Franco and Rogen have been made fun of a lot for being homos with each other. Beginning of the movie they poked fun at that, thought hey, it's good they have a sense of humor about it. But then it became an ongoing and escalating thing in the movie like a bad Saturday Night Live sketch that beats a joke to death and keeps going, unaware of when to stop. End impression, they are homos. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Movie provided some entertainment but nothing worth owning or watching again. If you haven't seen it, you're not missing much.

Saw yet another story of outrage that a breastfeeding woman was asked to cover up. So.... in general women get mad that guys look at their tits but when they're breastfeeding they can let it all hang out? In summary, free the nipple.
