“He was really angry that he saw what was happening with regard to the civil war. He said, ‘There’s no reason for this.’ People don’t realize, you know, the civil war – if you think about it, why? People don’t ask that question, but why was there a civil war? Why could that one not have been worked out?”
Yes, in the 150+ years since the Civil War no one has once bothered to ask, "Why?"
Another day of someone explaining what asshole meant to say, but he garbled the delivery. Probably because he doesn't know shit, about shit. So someone told him that AJ was concerned abot a N-S divide. True enough. Just say that. Of course, as you snark, people were concerned about a N-S divide pretty much from the colonial start.
As a matter of fact, we are in the process of re-doing the entire ground floor as a stand-alone guest suite. Put in a full bathroom and enlarged one room to fit a bed, and the kitchen gets delivered this week (installed in the next). We are also enlarging and replacing our own kitchen. It's a mess right now, and I've been without a functioning kitchen for weeks. But I'm getting great at rice cooker cuisine. Tonight, maybe I'll do hash browns in a waffle iron.
I'm wondering what the remodeling/construction experience is like in France. The Italian contractor guys I've encountered arrive on time, are competent and capable, work a long day with a long lunch break, and clean up after their work scrupulously. Apparently it's bad manners to ask for an estimate, but there are always two prices for the job: on the books or off the books. That's the effect of 24% VAT (o "IVA" nella bella Italia).
We ended up hiring Brit expats, because the one French guy we got a quote from was pricier and wasn't available to do the entire project we had in mind. Even still, they definitely observe the French style holidays and lunch hour-long breaks, and they quit right at 5pm. But then again, they get shit done, so I'm happy. But here it is absolutely essential to get a quote up-front, because the bank won't give you a loan without one. And in fact, the bank may not give you a loan with one either. We are still waiting for payment on the project–I've blown through my emergency funds still waiting for the loan to come through. The bank says they need this or that document, many that they must have since we already have our mortgage with them. French bureaucracy is every bit as legendary as you've heard.
I'm funneling the proceeds from the sale of my house in Nevada into a garage here in California. I'd forgotten how much more bureaucracy there is in CA compared to NV. Glad it's not a house, or I'd spend everything just on permits.
Wait. I thought he did.
I'm reading this like "Dude, do you even English?" What the hell is he talking about?
Surely tRump knows the War of Northern Aggression was about our markets being flooded by foreign goods and immigrants stealing our jerbs.
Jackson wasn't gonna stop [this.]
This is an interesting read. Too hot for IntenseDebate!

Trump should have been homeschooled.
Where'd he go? Some military madrassa, Columbia and Wharton? He should ask for his tuition back.

Dok has post with McCardle continuing this line of inquiry. It's amazing , really.
Mary Todd used a private sealing wax stamp, and unsecured quill pens.
