  1. Yeah, rebuilding sucks - thank God for the Mets!
  2. So when folks who can't understand Trump were certain that Carson was a religious fanatic that would never endorse Trump, they miss the entire attraction of Trump. Well, well, how could this be! Don't ever underestimate Trump. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/05/10/ben-carson-is-off-trump-s-vp-vetting-team.html A...
  3. I heard this author interviewed a while back for almost two (2) hours. Made a lot of sense and I have recommended it too a few folks who suffered similar losses over the last few years and they all found it quite helpful. http://www.amazon.com/The-Other-Side-Sadness-Bereavement/dp/0465013600 A...

  5. Welcome to OL Red. Some folks here have experienced this also. I would imagine you are a Randian. I think you will find this a very supportive place. A...
  6. Good story. My lady friend is big into horses, she went to the Kentucky Derby last year and made all the Triple Crown races last year. My "bet" was my mental bet. Never been into racetrack betting, except as a "mental game." I remember in The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress to bet the leading apprentice jockey to Show and you would always come away a winner, even though it was a small net/net. Lol... A...
  7. The horse ran a really strong race... I liked Exaggerator and I would have bet the horse to win and place - so today I would have netted $3.40 cents - place paid $5.40. A...
  8. New York - If you can make it here....
  9. Peter: Do you have the list? A...
  10. Not really. Additionally, I think that the "perception" of politics as too "dirty" to deal with is denying reality.
  11. Another reason that this is in metaphysics...
  12. Roger... You started this paragraph with so much insight and then you just reverted to your tape. Nice perception by the way. A...
  13. One of the finest minds in America. A futurist. Open minded. Excellent historian. His Gettysburg trilogy is masterful. A...
  14. Peter, it was only eight (8) months ago. "What a fool?" Yeah, he wasn't as smart as all the OL folks who picked Trump...oops...hmm there were only two! This is like a bad remake of 12 Angry Men! I play the old coot who gave Fonda/Michael the supportive vote when he needed it. Also provided great recipes for Crow. A...
  15. Peter, that was an excellent article. Thank you. CHIEF Executive. Kinda makes sense, right? A...
  16. It was a tough choice between here, or, humor... 538's "expert's", Nate Silver and Enten, who had no clue. e.g., And you wonder how and why Mittens lost? You sure have your fingers on the pulse of America! Now Bernstein, not him, the unknown one, adamantly declared that: Does this make you twice as wrong? This from the dead Grey Lady is one of my personal favorites... Jacob Weisberg from Slate, even as late as April 8th, was clueless to the objective reality that he refuses to see. So, has any actual reporter gone to the other 16, or, 17 candidates [counted Gilmore] who proudly took the pledge that night and asked them to confirm their support? Guess they must be in a dark dank corner of the OL SAFE ROOM! A...
  17. Thanks Robert, I assume that was a complimentary post, since we both can do simple math. As to the last losing candidate who is the only candidate who has a mailman for a father, looks like he is conceding also.
  18. She is the weakest and most beatable candidate the Democrats have put up in four (4) decades... A...
  19. Trump 52% Teddy 32% Kasitch 16% ---------------------------------------- Bernie 50.5% Evita 49.5% ===============================
  20. Apparently, since both you and Roger are so upset, perhaps you missed the humor in the subtle reference to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Raphael. Also, the fact that he makes a big deal out of his ethnicity, why would you change your name for politics? It is a good decision that you both made not to engage in politics because you seem to be so sensitive that it would be risky for your mental health. A...
  21. Roger, it seems to be upsetting you... Would you prefer that I stop calling him by his given name? A...
