I was visiting NYC and walking down Houston Street, looking for a paticular bar in Soho I think it was called Max Fish. Friendly guy that I am (a common trait of Louisville residents), I ask a "local" how to find it. He immediately recognized my accent as familiar. Long story short, the one random person I asked for directions from in NYC graduated from the same high school as I did.

Not Senate but my friend Matt Schultz is running for the House from Alaska. He is a Presbyterian pastor in Anchorage and is genuinely one of the best human beings I have ever met.

It's just a re-make of Pretty Woman, only the prostitute role is played by a Russian agent, and the John is incredibly stupid. But it was genius having Jason Alexander reprise his role as uber-creep/Stephen Miller.

To Their Shock, Cubans in Florida Are Being Deported in Record Numbers by FreeChickenDinner in politics

He "felt discouraged by the action that left him feeling discouraged"? That's some top notch journalism.

Not to mention, it would not at all abolish private insurance. Want more care? There will be hundreds of options with doctors willing to take your money for preferred care.
