So basically every procedural show ever written. The most important thing to understand is that the medical drama portion of the show was just a carrier to get the House drama into your living room. The show lives and breathes on House's interactions with the rest of the world, and the case du jour just gives them a focal point. And the last season is one of the best series endings I've seen.
"Soccer" is an English term coined in the late 1800's to distinguish association football (abbreviated "assoc" then later slang became "soccer.") from other sports, mostly rugby. When Association Football tried to come to the States, we already had Football. So soccer was the term used to recognize the sport.
The point is that "Soccer" is a British term, not an American one.
@BoSnerdley There's absolutely no question that California elections are fraudulent - from the word Go. From the jungle primary fraud, the mail in ballot fraud, the 'count them until you find them" fraud - it's all fraudulent. And they know it. They designed it that way. They depend on it.
@liberscravola They didn't want it to be done. They wanted to be in on the grift of it not being done for a decade and "costing" millions in grants, contracts, and corruption. Gavin's Railroad is unfinished because of the corruption in it's funding, not because it was a hard project.
Why? There's no evidence to suggest that the people of Chicago could run the team any better. In fact, there's ample evidence showing that they would be exponentially worse. Look at who they elect. If you want the Bears to be bankrupt and out of the NFL in 5 years, give it to the people. They'll screw it up and then shoot anyone who tries to come in and fix it.
@RGIII Too late now. Maybe people should have been more upset while the state of Illinois was dicking the dog over how much money they could extract from the team.
He didn't believe he was vulnerable. "They won't fire me, I'm News!" I am reminded of when CBS was restructured in the 80's and Dan Rathernot had a fit about it - going so far as to join picket lines with striking writers and bashing the Corp. publically - because "The News" was a public trust and was not subject to commercial pressure. CBS should have binned him then. We had to wait until he got caught making things up for them to do that.
@greg_price11 One on every wall. They probably use them as shower curtains in the intersectional bathrooms. It must be expensive though. That flag changes every six months, it seems like.
@WilliamShatner@Disney Grok says you should use this: "HRH Prince William Joseph Shatner, Prince of the Royal Line of Kirk, Duke of Montreal and the Laurentians, Earl of the Enterprise, Baron of Priceline and the Spoken Word, and Lord of the Infinite Expanse."
There have been rumors for years about her desire to step up nationally. She was said to be on the short list for Biden's VP. But I don't think she wants to run for Pres. I think she wants the VP spot with the expectation that she will be anointed Pres when the time comes. And she would certainly welcome a high Cabinet post.
My first question was "Does that mean we have too many one-star Admirals already?"
My father got RIF'd in 1985 after getting passed over for his Lt. Colonel promotion for the third time. His release letter basically told him there was no need for more Baby Birds, and with him being at 20 years already - it was time to move on.
My point is just because you want to be an Admiral doesn't mean the Navy has to make room for another one.
Genitalia shouldn't figure into it at all, other than at that level you better already have a pretty big set of balls.
