Orange Beach is sublime. Also really like Mentone, Cheaha, Tuscaloosa, Mountain Brook, Gulf Shores, and Huntsville.

The notorious Gadsden Mall Flasher has an opinion on Orange Beach and he feels it sublime.
crash, I did mean to mention re: Trump rallies that not even Fox carries them live all the time anymore. Tucker said tonight they'd break in if anything newsworthy happened. Nothing did. CSPAN chose to show the Utah Senate debate instead. Riveting.Comment

a bad joke?
More seriously, latest data for Hurricane Michael is bad. Showing signs that a Cat 4 is possible. Heading right towards Panama City.Comment

Oh, a joke? My allergy meds have cut my IQ fully in half. I have to be hovering somewhere around an 80 right now. Curiously, with this chemically-induced drop, I suddenly have a desire to become a Kansas State fan as well as abandoning correct punctuation, spelling, and grammar in my posts.

DSL I just found it funny that 1 hour after the vote for the most contentious supreme court nominee in history after 6 months of total wall to wall coverage the moment he gets confirmed and the protest is winding down in Washington instead of listening to trumps remarks msnbc decides to repeat their broadcast from ealier that day and cnn goes to pretaped coverage
I understand avoiding trump rallies on a regular basis but not that day not that hourComment

The formal meaning of the system isn't as important as the result. People understand the result of socialism. Leftists love to get caught up in the "I'm not a Socialist because I don't think that the government should own the means of production". If the government confiscates over half of what you and/or your business earns then who technically "owns the means of production" is only a distinction on paper. If you don't own the fruits of your labor and the government controls your funding then you are nothing but a curator for the means of production. This is why the "means of production" argument is nonsense and at some point you are simply arguing semantics.
The true essence of Socialism is the concept of "from each according to his ability and to each according to his need". You can call any system anything that you want but the driver for every single Socialized system -- literally every single one -- is the "unfairness" of uneven distribution of wealth and unequal ability to pay for a good or a service. People who are against Socialism are against it because they know what it means when it comes to results. It means that there will be winners and losers in a zero sum wealth redistribution game. If you are a producer then you are going to be one of the losers. Then the producers are gradually going to fade away until there are almost none left. When you have an open borders immigration policy, as all Liberals do, then it also means that you are setting up your society to be a gigantic feeding trough where a multitude of "takers" is going to quickly overwhelm the number of "givers". It also means that you will have less freedom and choice in your consumption, and that unelected dingbat bureaucrats will be making your life decisions for you. We already see the results of this on a small scale -- in places like the DMV or in academia, where accountability does not exist.Last edited by Hannibal; October 10, 2018, 10:59 AM.Comment

But seriously, this is saying that male attraction to biological females is either unnatural or immoral. It's a severely mentally ill version of old fashioned Christian attitudes about homosexuality.Comment

I don't know if grift is the right word here. Isn't the one I used. In a broad sense, I suppose those kinds of abuses of office could fall under the category. Certainly it wasn't Cheney-level crime. Just more petty medium-scale self-enrichment.Comment

LOL, agreed. I think Queen should be made to write a song about how non-binary females also help make the rockin world go round.Comment

What did she do to self enrich?
I heard about office curtains (that she has been ostensibly cleared of) and possibly traveling for personal reasons on the goverment's dime. Are you referencing the latter?
