how about presenting a valid Social security card. We all have them. They are free and they show you are in the system. Have the SSA staff a computer at each polling station to verify a person's SSN with a phone bill, gas bill, id card, etc

Let's call this Murray movie for what it is B*U*S*T

Interesting theory I had not considered.

I think the reporter is getting her 15m of fame..

Another good episode last night.. Although I can't help but think two different groups looking for a said group, would get ambushed three times by said group. That was a bit off the chain.

"Cat got your tongue?" Shyness is one reason the cat might have your tongue, but the original usage is far more sinister. A popular flogging implement in the British Navy was, allegedly, the "cat-o'-nine-tails" — a whip that would render the victim mute because the pain was so great. "Turn a blind eye" When we want to pretend not to see something we turn a blind eye, just like British Admiral Horatio Nelson did when a fellow admiral told him to back off an attack against the Danish/Norwegian enemy. Nelson, who had one good eye and one blind eye, put the telescope up to his blind eye to read the signal. Since he was "unable" to see the signal, he continued his advance despite the recommendation. "Caught red-handed" In 15th-century Scotland, getting caught "red-handed" wasn't just a colorful way of saying someone was guilty. It meant they had blood on their hands because they'd killed something (or someone). Today, dirty hands are used more broadly to symbolize guilt. "Red herring" In "Scooby Doo," the character Red Herring was always leading the gang down the wrong path. The odd term comes from the 17th-century practice of teaching hunting dogs to train their noses for the correct scent. Hunters would place the pungent smoked fish in trees as a distraction that dogs had to learn to ignore. "Armed to the teeth" Pirates in the 17th century were as resourceful as they were opportunistic. Since their guns could only fire one shot at a time, they tended to hold a gun in each hand. In addition, they would keep a third gun in their pocket and a knife in their teeth — just in case. Hence, "armed to the teeth." "Basket case" In 1919, the acting US Surgeon General, Major General M.W. Ireland,posted a bulletin dispelling rumors that his hospital had seen so-called "basket cases." Ireland was referring to the delivery of actual baskets, which were supposedly filled with the limbs of soldiers who'd gotten their arms and legs blown off. Though Ireland denied these basket cases existed, the phrase stuck around. "Kick the bucket" In 16th-century England, animals that were sent to slaughter were hung on a wooden beam, known at the time as a "bucket." Shortly after they were killed, many animals would spasm rather violently, causing them to knock into the beam and, thus, "kick the bucket." "Skeletons in the closet" Before the 1832 Anatomy Act passed in the UK, medical schools would often rely on grave robbers for their supply of classroom skeletons. Not wanting to have their precious teaching supplies confiscated during a raid, teachers would be forced to hide the skeletons in their closets. Today the phrase more commonly refers to a piece of someone's past they'd prefer not to reveal. "Mad as a hatter" Overexposure to mercury can lead to heightened aggression and anti-social behavior. Unfortunately for hatters in the 19th century, mercury was a key ingredient in preparing the felt for the fashionable accessories of the day. As a result, hatters would sometimes appear to go insane. "Diehard" In 18th-century England, the drop method of hanging hadn't yet been invented; people would simply slip into a noose and hang there, until the oxygen stopped flowing to their brain. To expedite the process, the condemned party could pay someone to pull their legs. If they didn't want to, however, they could just hang there and suffer longer. Those people were considered "die-hards."

So a suicide bomber blew himself up in a soccer stadium today in Iraq killing 25 and injuring 90 more. ISIS claimed responsibility. Let's see if the world press rushes to Iraq and begins around the clock coverage. Let's see if all the facebook users change their picture to the Iraq flag...

Wife just go side swiped in Baltimore City. City cops were chasing a car and apparently the chasee needed the lane she was occupying. Cops didn't bother to stop, a call to 911 didn't bring assistance and she just got tired of waiting and drove herself out of the hood.

Does it snow there?

I believe this. Something has changed along the way. We went from 'what did my son do?' to 'what did you do to my son?'... I went to a Bishop Timon. You didn't dare step out of line as the consequences were immediate and brutal (not an exaggeration). If you did get in trouble, your parents were going to rain down on you a second time that day. The world is different now.

Your thinking is still man-centric, not planet. We only 'fixed' the problem because it was impacting our survival (skin cancer). You might be surprised to learn that I do lean toward conservation and ecology. I just think the whole focus on "climate change" is political and misguided.

In the scheme of the planet's life, its a blip.. It just may be that the planet 'extincts' man like so many other species... The planet will survive.. We may not. We think in years and the planet reacts in eons. Instead of calling it climate change, call it what it is, climate's impact on man's life cycle.

The planet has undergone climate change for billions of years... It's kind of what it does....

Are my eyes bad or is there a missing, prominent, HC? or two or three?

The whole Glenn thing was probably the show's worst moment. The analogy in GOT will be if John Snow somehow lives...

Actually he did not say that. I watched the interview. He said he "instructed his staff to look into the matter". It was the MTP moderator who then said something like, I guess that is a yes. Seems like a real can of worms, republican style

That is awesome... It's just another log on the I hate Clinton bonfire I am building in my mind..

I have a family of four. We have fios in the hood and we STILL went through 25GB of data last month. Our cell average is 21GB/mo

It occurred to me today that the last time I have seen a Sabres game may have been before 2016. I follow them in the standings and on this board, but I have not even remotely entertained the idea of being entertained by them, Makes me wonder why I bother with Center Ice each year.

Bernie, Bernie, Bernie....

I don't understand why anyone would watch a debate any more. There have been so many now and nothing new or relevant ever comes out. There have been so many, their impact has been marginalized.
