    For the record, the leading batting average is held by Kendrick (.277), which is pathetic for a team of this caliber. Harper is at .257 Turner .232 Taylor .220 Zimmerman .188

    Spotify is loaded with stand-up comedy. Check out anything by Marc Maron.

    Went back for carryout last night. I ordered the ribs again and liked them way more than I did last time. Am I a bad person for eating the entire thing?

    Because any anti-NRA force doesn't have the backing of any massive corporate interest. Are there companies making anti-guns? You're reminding me of the climate change deniers' claim that global warming is hoax perpetrated by Al Gore and the tree-huggers so they can make billions by cleaning up the environment. Meanwhile, we had the former CEO of Exxon as our fucking Secretary of State. Follow the money.

    The idea of arming teachers is just a variation of the "good guy with a gun" myth. It's utter bullshit.

    Are there any march-goers here? I'm trying to not let the transportation hassle stop me.

    "She's so POPular" It's a classic misheard lyric. It's actually "Jeux sans frontiers", of course.

    Oh man, I would have just inched forward. I once saw a car back out of the space and then block the space perpendicularly so that they could let another car that they chose (maybe a friend) take the space. I was livid. Speaking of backing out of a parking space, PLEASE turn the wheel as you back out. I see so many people who back straight out and then go drive, reverse, drive, reverse, drive, reverse, etc. to get the car heading in the right direction.

    I had to wear one of these cross-back things recently. I consider myself a reasonably intelligent person, but it must've taken me 10 minutes to figure out how to put it on. Actually, I'm still not sure I got it right.

    The Cult of 45 can't see through this bullshit. Pruitt is as corrupt as they come. Follow the money-- who is benefiting from trashing all these regulations? It sure as hell ain't the people who put this freak in office. Draining the swamp, my ass. Is anyone else just flat out terrified about this country's future? My daughter will be trying to survive in a third world country at this rate.

    How to Buy a Gun in 15 Countries by Audrey Carlsen and Sahil Chinoy of the NYT The background check is a joke. Since it was first implemented 19 years ago, less than 0.6% of buyers have failed the check. Additionally, the FBI database is missing all kinds of data on domestic abuse and military records. And some states provide only a fraction of the needed information. FBI's gun background-check database is missing records of millions of cases by Devlin Barrett, Sandhya Somashekhar, Alex Horton of the Washington Post

    That was the old Al-- or, more accurately, the younger Al. I pay with cash now.

    Every so often I check out the NRA's website to see what bullshit they're pedaling. Evidently, people who don't like seeing children get shot are evil socialists.

    I was dinged twice in 6 months at the same gas station and again at an ATM. Since then, I'm very cautious about sticking my card in any slot. However, the careful look can detect a skimmer device, but evidently you also have "shimmers" which you can't see because they're inside the machine. How to Spot and Avoid Credit Card Skimmers by Max Eddy of PC Magazine Fortunately, my credit card company shut down the card, notified me, and removed all charges.

    He all but came out for banning assault weapons during yesterday's meeting with lawmakers. I don't think his position will last long. Trump stunned lawmakers from both parties with his gun control remarks, but nobody thinks he'll follow through by Peter Weber from The Week. Sorry, I've had difficulty making myself clear lately. Ask my girlfriend or daughter.
