The dogs do not like this, and they also may not like engaging with their peer-dogs while wearing a goofy blunderbuss that keeps them from their habitual introductory b-hole assessments and self-administered kamikaze junk ablutions. But at some point there’s no real sense in guessing. You have probably gathered that this is about Donald Trump.

Mr. Gorka, who described himself as a national security adviser to the president but who existed outside the National Security Council and had no clear duties, was a divisive figure while in the White House. He memorably declared that “the alpha males are back” as an assertion of the distance between the Obama administration and the current one.

I love how the guys in the Trump administration with this “alpha male” attitude (Gorka, Bannon) never actually do anything besides mouth off and, eventually, get fired

I say this a lot, and it came up at work again today.  You see a lot of people saying “well, this research is obviously flawed because of x,y,z but it’s the best we’ve got.”

Whether if a human being lives cheek by jowl with utter desperation for half a century he acquires a kind of abnormal resignation resembling that of maggots in carrion no outsider can possibly tell.

One day he lined up his entire penny collection into a winding, looping trail through the whole house.  Some people said he was a genius, so maybe this is just what geniuses did.

For each study 1 to 2 mc of (99m)Tc-labeled sulfur colloid were injected into a wing vein of a conscious chicken. After 30 min the chicken was killed and the liver was removed, diced into pieces of about 1 cm3 , and cooked in a microwave oven to a rubbery consistency. It was then mixed with a 7 ½-ounce can of commercial beef stew and fed to the subject, who ate the meal along with 200 ml of water in about 3 to 5 min.

My parents and sister and I had just moved to Montreal and a girl on our street told me that if I prayed to God for ten days, my dog would come back.  We had never discussed God in our home, but I thought maybe he was something new, the way Canada was new, and French was new.
