Thanks Waiting for Guffman is hilarious. Have seen it twice. May watch it again.

@Nina I have An Invitation to Indian Cooking, and everything I've made from it has been delicious. The recipes tend to have a million ingredients, but most of them are spices. If you don't have a solid spice collection, that can be pricey, but if you already have a bunch of spices and dried beans, you can cook a lot of the dishes by buying the meat of chioce, some yogurt, and some cilantry.

"Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett siding with the liberal justices." Maybe a glimmer of hope? The fact that the vote was even close on what is obviously an illegal move by the president is astounding.

What bullshit. This is just preparatory language for blaming the Democrats if/when we have a shutdown. The GOP controls all three branches of government. If they can't keep the government up and running without Democratic votes, this problem is on them.

I think it is fun! I would love to attend a party there. No way would I want to live there. Oh, and that blue and white check area rug goes with nothing. I am wondering if the house, stripped of all the byzantine gilded garbage, actually has good bones. Impossible to tell from the photos. Obviously they have an insane amount of money to be able to irrigate a lawn like that. I suppose it is possible they are in a less desertified area of AZ, but still.

Yeah, I taught him ......

I don't know if the EPA has all of the SuperFund sites mapped out on their website (and don't want to know) but they did before 9/11, and removed this information, "for national security reasons." There were places in New Orleans and its environs where you could barely see the map through all the overlapping black dots.

@wtg That’s beautiful work!
