Terrible, terrible place.

I was so much happier when I realized that Staples had almost as much tech stuff. Staples staff answers all my dumb questions clearly and never tries to oversell.

Why did it mean a lot to you? If you don't mind sharing.

The movies "Her" and "Network" went from being cutting edge satires to quaint docudramas in real time.

Of course there are plenty of 'moderate bipartisan' GOPs who give lip service to centrist positions. Then they vote right down the Party line.

An immigrant and a Harvard professor?

This is probably being gleefully followed by Trump personally.

New Yorker here.

It's going to be an interesting race.

His best chance to win is if the Right goes all out in making it a fight between him and MAGA. Trump lost his home town by 80% plus of the vote

They didn't make me a manager until I had been on the job for over a decade.

One day I look at an old favorite, "The Dirty Dozen."

Early on, the Major is ordered to meet with the General, who tells him he has to train twelve condemned prisoners for a suicide mission behind the German lines. The Major obeys the orders, but opines that whoever came up with the plan must be insane. The General tells him to shut up and go; then the General tells his staff that the idea is insane.

Then the Major has to meet the troops and convince each man that it's in his best interests to join the mission.

Being given stupid orders and then having to lead a bunch of psychos and idiots to achieve the goal is the essence of being a middle manager.

My guess is that the Dems will give him plenty of support and he'll lose to the GOP candidate in a landslide. New Yorkers elected Bloomberg and Giuliani and will elect another GOP even if they hate Trump.

He's being set up as a sacrificial lamb to the idea that Progressives can't win.

otoh, the actual Trojans fought for years before Odysseus thought up that trick.

Sounds like you'd have given up Helen before second breakfast.

Do yourself a favor. Spend Christmas through New Year's in the town you're planning on moving to first.

You didn't challenge anyone to improve themselves. You tried to impose your ideas on other people. There's a difference.

Cheers.
