On a different note, do you sleep, DG? I see you replied to me at what was 3:30am your time and then 8am? :unsure:

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

It's kinda creepy/stalkerlike to see someone calling out a poster on their posting timestamps.

Not really, I mean it as a personal aside nothing to do with the conversation. I was also aware of it as I'd been posting in my morning before work and was surprised to already here from DG around my lunch time. I'm not sure how it is stalker like to notice that - it isn't like I did research on his posting habits over time. :huh:

But whatevs.

I usually do, but I woke up in the middle of the night last night, so I figured I may as well do something useful while trying to fall asleep again.

Got it. Useful Languishing. :D

I've been watching a lot of English murder mysteries (my wife just loves them!) and the first thing that springs to mind is a series of random, apparently unconnected murders, where the only thing the victims had in common is membership in an ancient bulletin board website created to argue about current events by fans of a certain video game ... 😄

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

That is astonishing.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Supposedly he is "conservatism's most eligible bachelor" which I think translates as "in the closet"

I have to admit I was surprised to learn that.  I had assumed that the cultural Marxists seeking to destabilize America from the inside always told the truth.  I thought it was the economic Marxists who blatantly lied.  Perhaps I confused the two?
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

You should have asked them the one question that would have allowed you to open the right door.
