Re: “I Ruined Two Birthday Parties and Learned the Limits of Psychology”

Sorry you hate the truth, but Elvis stole music and I am not impressed by his vocal range. he's only slightly worse than Roy Orbison but has 10000x the fame. Not to mention his touring guitarist demanded he stop trying to play the guitar live. The guy had charisma and a baritone reaching into tenor...

Re: Gifts to Clarence Thomas

1. That was Abe Fortas who resigned during the Nixon Administration. I wouldn’t describe it as being far less egregious. He accepted the equivalent of $150,000/year in today’s dollars, for life, with payments to continue to his wife until she died for unspecified advice from a friend and former cli...

I hate Elvis' music.
:o
He didn't write the music. You should probably be more offended that his voice offends me.

Re: Gifts to Clarence Thomas

Of the various political shenanigans that have gone on over the past few years, this one has the potential to do lasting damage. What's going on is that a fairly small group rich conservatives are "befriending" conservative justices under the radar. And it's not just Thomas. They are paying for ove...

Re: “I Ruined Two Birthday Parties and Learned the Limits of Psychology”

Someday maybe I'll get around to writing a near-future novel about short-term time travel, in which a secret agency sends people back in time by just a couple of days, to try to correct catastrophes. They rely on vast amounts of surveillance information, hypothetically available in the near future,...

But do we still have to avoid scrapyards struck by tornadoes, in case a fully-assembled 747 falls on us?
Yes. Also, watch out for typing monkeys.

Re: Church Membership Status - who can find out and how?

You need to be in "good standing" to buy garments. You do not need to be a current temple recommend holder. If you were ever endowed, and someone could convince a Distribution Center clerk they were you, they could find out if you were currently purchase-eligible. I don't know what, if any, safegua...
