Crazy, huh? In three-way tie, they would have. But four-way gets UNLV in, but head-to-head gives Boise home, and UNM's head-to-heads over UNLV and SDSU mean squat. Nor does SDSU's win over Boise, or Boise over UNM. It's a 4-way Pointing Spider-Man meme.

Liberty & Justice For All

The liberty to build a business
The liberty to be free of hunger
The liberty to _____ (fill in salient points to various audiences)

And justice to hold the powerful to account for their crimes. There's hunger for justice. IMO, Biden/Garland doomed us to Trump 2.0.

It occurs to me that this is not the case in some nations. Their roundabouts are a fascist conservative plot.

Shades of Gov. Reagan signing Gun Control in California when the Panthers started arming.

When I began in marijuana reform (2005), the white hippies were all-in on anti-hemp conspiracies / DuPont / Hearst etc. When I researched, I found RACISM amplified by Anslinger, overwhelming any other explanation. Took five more years before Dr. Alexander's "The New Jim Crow" let me say, "see?"

I swear, becoming woke in the US as a white kid from Idaho is like Roddy Piper putting on the glasses in "They Live" and seeing RACISM everywhere he looks. Rejecting masks was racism? Gott dayum!

And I'm all out of bubblegum.

Roundabouts are a woke liberal plot. Always turning to the left. (Shh, don't tell them about our decades-long infiltration of NASCAR.)

This is excellent background! Bairnson plays one of rock music's perfect guitar solos in Parsons' "I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You."

I would feel much better about that Ozempic commercial aping "Magic" if Lyall were still alive to reap the royalties.

Will you vote for Schumer as leader?

Will you vote to impeach Thomas and Alito?

Will you vote to expand SCOTUS?

True enough, which is why lobbying your state to sign on to the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is more effective than bleating at Tom how the EC is a compromise with Slavers that is unfit for a modern democracy.

We need just 61 EVs worth of states.

Oddly enough, I started on bass in 6th grade and picked up bassoon in 8th grade. Go for it!

It was Heinlein, I think, who postulated that autocracy is based on the notion that one man's wisdom is superior to a million's, democracy is predicted on the opposite, and both are spurious assumptions.
