Wife: Should Danny join adaptative hockey?
Daught: Yeah, then he'd have to wear a mullet! *evil grin*

Three cheers for the end of the Nader era
I would not have expected that. Dates from 2002, but I'd be intrigued to see if it still holds
Of unhappily married people who stayed together, two-thirds called the same marriage happy five years later. Of the very unhappy who stayed, nearly 8 in 10.
Divorced individuals were no happier.
Most rough patches are just patches. The rational move is usually to push through.

For all of the president’s bluster, we’ve been routinely holding free and fair elections in his second term in which his party’s candidates have often been getting clobbered, all without incident. A great tribute to the professionals who run our decentralized elections
Everyone's going to point to the various Trump failures, but I think his biggest failure is the one that's going to be common to most populist types:
You don't run a country the size of the US like a personal fiefdom. You need competent people below you to make sure things are getting done.
If you don't have some organization to tap into to get that from, life is going to be hard. You might be able to get those people if serving you brings honor
But if all you've got to offer is money and prestige, man are you going to bring in the wrong people.
In the old days, we used to say things like "A man's handshake is his promise", and folks who violated that paid a price, and folks who followed it were at least somewhat safe when the tides shifted.
As we've hurried up and broke things, I don't think those rules apply anymore
He probably could've gotten away with a smaller number of the things he did, but I think the casual dickery is what really did it.
Normal people like to feel at least a little honorable.

The sycophants who enabled Trump will now be desperately scrambling like Paul Rudd in Anchorman to wash off the stink, and they won’t be able to because all of their groveling and gaslighting is on video or preserved online. They need to be banished to political outer darkness.
