@wtg said in Kennedy Center: Don't forget the Arc de Trump. Or the Institute of Peace. Is the Arc de Trump something he wants to build or something he wants to put his name on? I can't see him renaming Washington Square Park, Trump Square Park, or the Washington Arch, Trump Arch. This probably wouldn't be grand enough for him.

We're having a terrible early February. By now I've studied survival skills, e.g. how soldiers in the field kept from freezing to death during WWI and WWII. What I wouldn't give to have wool bedding and clothing. I've learned a bunch of facts about the different kinds of wool, the different ways it's processed, and the different methods used to make wool products.

It's not prurient interest. It's truth as is the case of with all humor.

@Daniel said in Some jokes landed with a thud, and the room fell silent repeatedly.: Why does he try so hard? He wants to be liked, probably. Many people want the same, supposedly.

Economics 101. WHICH I FAILED AND EVEN I KNOW THAT MUCH

Good idea, both.

Ok, I read it. 'Im not a propagandist. I'm a journalist.'

If it's really in a flood plane and prone to constant mold it wouldn't be a healthy or pleasant place to live. Those of you who haven't lived in such places should consider yourselves lucky. Apparently now there's backlash against Charles who might be perceived as having gone too far. Look, Andrew gets no sympathy from me. I've already said he belongs in prison.

You sound like a real Ramaswarmy guy.

IBM was the main employer in Duchess County, NY. It eliminated and reduced its production to the extent Dutchess County's economy was decimated. The mid-century prosperity was gone. Some time later NYC shuttered its vast network of psychiatric facilities and facilities for the developmentally disabled. The economy took a second nosedive. Public sector compensation was slashed around this time as well. Now where there used to be convenience stores, video rental stores, and mom and pop restaurants, there are payday loan outfits and pawn shops. The real estate hasn't crashed. My best guess is people from the City view it as a bargain especially because the Metro-North commuter rail infrastructure still exists and remains fully operational.

Chris Christie on This Week, regarding MN: The administration is addressing the PR problem, not the actual problem. Trump is worried about the polls and doesn't care about what's really happening in MN. Homan is just an outwardly calmer but probably no different than Bovino, face to the public.

That's a great idea.

It's only a few seconds/minutes of slow walking & waiting. Anyway, I prefer to go aboard last and spend the least amount of time in such an uncomfortable place.

I bought the pattern, but I don’t have time to knit it yet. Currently knitting one more Portland Frog Hat. They’ve raised $400,000 by those pattern sales so far, donated to good causes.

...guess that explains why I never heard from him....
