re: Breaking: Trump is unable to make $464 million bond in civil case
Posted by Pettifogger on 3/18/24 at 3:48 pm
The tax consequences mean it's some multiplier of the bond. The entire concept of him being able to do this efficiently/quickly is patently absurd.
Now, perhaps Trump being Trump means he has fewer outlets to pursue other avenues to come up with this, and not all of that is necessarily his fault...

I don't really think it matters. These guys suck because they're ideologically opposed to the things we value as success, or because they succumb to pressure/influence out of self-preservation/self-interest.
I wouldn't object to having more businessmen and fewer lawyers in office, though. Peopl...

[quote]Exactly. Maybe if Bruce had done a better job during the season, they would have a better seed. "Coaching" that team to a 4 seed in conference is pitiful.

[quote]Auburn is really good, but a 4 seed is where you belong. Had you lost to MSU or Florida, you would probably be a 5 seed, or maybe even a 6 (like South Carolina, for many of the same reasons).

re: Per 247 Vandy Website, Vandy Pays Stackhouse $26 million! LOL
Posted by Pettifogger on 3/18/24 at 1:12 pm
On one hand, it's crazy that anyone cares enough about the trajectory of Vandy basketball to pay that. Who is making a huge stink such that this was prompted?
On the other, good on Vandy for being able to throw around big money to address the clamoring of what is likely a pretty small group of f...

re: Do you have a "home base" Mexican restaurant?
Posted by Pettifogger on 3/18/24 at 12:30 pm
Superica in Atlanta, although it's tex-mex.
Growing up all we had was the cheap/southern/strip mall type Mexican (I assume this exists in Louisiana). My wife, a Texan oddly enough, loves that stuff, but I don't. As with BBQ, GA Mexican has become heavily Texas-influenced in the last decade....

re: 10 Years of SEC Basketball
Posted by Pettifogger on 3/18/24 at 11:43 am
I'm not saying it's a direct result of Bruce, but it certainly seems his arrival and Auburn's rise has accompanied the SEC becoming/returning as much bigger force in CBB.
And to the extent we can trace some of that to Pearl, it's not surprising that watching a perennially awful team become pretty...

re: Biden logic. Putin reelected = dictatorship. Zelensky cancels elections = democracy.
Posted by Pettifogger on 3/18/24 at 11:33 am
none of that has anything to do with what Putin has done to his own people, nor does it have anything to do with the legitimacy of his supposed election
the reflexive instinct to validate Putin in order to criticize Zelensky is dumb...

I haven't seen a movie by myself in years (maybe ever?). So perhaps go watch Dune 2 - which my wife would never see anyway - and drink some beers.
Wouldn't be exciting but it's something I'd never do otherwise. ...

[quote]They aren't talking to us. They are keeping their base whipped into a frenzy. HHTM and his types are watching Scarborough and Maddow and saying "mmmmhmmmmm" and "they'll get him" and "he's dead meat now". It's fairly effective, too, as you can see. Biden is utterly senile and was thrown out o...
