The jury verdict doesn't actually set precedent though.
 
I wonder what the Starbucks holiday cups are going to look like this year and who's going to be pissed about it.
 
drove past the April 12 2014 Bundy protest spot this summer on the way to the Grand Canyon. Looks like just another spot on a desert highway - could have become the next Waco.

Nevada is weird.
 
The funniest part about LA people is we all feel entitled to take the day off when it rains
 
We're supposed to move tomorrow and of course it's like one of three days a year that it rains
 
Selling the condo, moving to Redondo to live that beach life but don't have the money buckets for Manhattan
 
Did you get my pm? I sent one last night but it was from my phone and think it may have crapped out
 
Bet you made a killing on the condo. Shoulda listened to me. Renting or buying in redondo?
 
Good god, what an idiot.



The Illinois Senate race was already likely out of reach for Republicans, and now comments that incumbent GOP Sen. Mark Kirk made about his challenger's heritage and military service are making it that much harder.

In a debate on Thursday night, Democratic Rep. Tammy Duckworth — an Army helicopter pilot who lost both her legs in a crash in Iraq — talked about her family's long history of service in the military.

"My family has served this nation in uniform, going back to the Revolution. I'm a daughter of the American Revolution. I've bled for this nation. But I still want to be there in the Senate when the drums of war sound," Duckworth said. "Because people are quick to sound the drums of war, and I want to be there to say this is what it costs, this is what you're asking us to do ... Families like mine are the ones that bleed first."

Kirk, given 30 seconds to respond, was curt, answering only: "I'd forgotten that your parents came all the way from Thailand to serve George Washington." The moderator then moved on to the next question.

The remark was flippant and racially charged but also incorrect. Duckworth was born in Thailand to a Thai mother of Chinese heritage and an American father who was a U.S. Marine. A Mother Jones profile of Duckworth's 2012 House race notes her father, a World War II veteran, traces his heritage back to the American Revolution.

I know less than zero about LA. I need to make it out there sometime.
 
That's kinda weird. My general rule is to avoid places associated with hotels.
 
Do any of y'all have a good handle on reliable cancer foundations? Would love to discuss over PM if so.
