Jean didn't come to church today due to her back pain. Jean takes painkillers for it. Jean and Joan were nurses for 40 years. Harry is considering moving to Scotland for work. Stella visited Jean after church and overstayed her welcome as she tends to do. Joan's brother is a widower.. | Joan: Hello dear, didn't see you in church today!
Jean: Oh, well, my back is playing me up, I think it's sciatica again!
Joan: Oh no! Not again! Tom had that, he was in pain for weeks.
Jean: Well, it's not too bad at the moment, I've got some of Donald's painkillers just in case.
Joan: Now you be careful, check they haven't expired.
Jean: No, they're fine, he has loads!
Joan: Don't become an opiate addict will you, darling?
Jean: I'm not that stupid! I am very careful with medicines, you do remember that we were both nurses for 40 bloody years, don't you!
Joan: Yes, of course, but I know that when you're in pain it's easy to self-medicate and overdo it. Perhaps you should go to the Dr.
Jean: Maybe, if it gets worse, they're busy enough with real problems.
Joan: Well, just take care, that's all. How are Maisy, Harry and the kids?
Jean: Well, the two oldest have just started secondary and Idris hates it! The little ones are still in primary, getting on well, it seems. Harry may have to move to Scotland, though.
Joan: Oh, that's so far away, let's hope not!
Jean: Yes, but it's lots more money, so he is considering it seriously.
Joan: Well, I'm sure it'll work out for the best. Did Stella call in?
Jean: Yes, after church, she came in snooping to see why I didn't turn up, nosy bitch!
Joan: Well, since Ken died she's lonely and wants to chat even more, she doesn't come up for air!
Jean: You're telling me! She stayed for almost 3 hours, I had to tell her I had to go to bed to rest my back, couldn't get rid of her otherwise!
Joan: I'm the same, I do try and dodge her at church if possible, but she often seeks me out and I'm stuck for the whole morning, she insists on going to the Church Hall for coffees.
Jean: Perhaps we should try to find her a new husband! Your brother's a widower, isn't he?
Joan: Bloody Nora! Can you imagine having Stella as your sister in law! No, I don't think Bill will be up for that!
Jean: Anyway, must go start dinner, see you next Weds, hopefully, back permitting.
Joan: Rest yourself now, lovely. See you soon! | 8 | Flan2021 | samsum:1.0.0 | zs_opt |

Serbia and Montenegro ( (SCG) / Србија и Црна Гора (СЦГ)), officially the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro ("Državna Zajednica Srbija i Crna Gora" (DZSCG) / Државна Заједница Србија и Црна Гора (ДЗСЦГ)), was a country in Southeast Europe, created from the two remaining republics of Yugoslavia after its breakup in 1992. The republics of Serbia and Montenegro together established a federation in 1992 as the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY or FR Yugoslavia; "Savezna Republika Jugoslavija (SFR" or "SR Jugoslavija)" / Савезна Република Југославија (СРЈ or СР Југославија)).
The FRY aspired to be a sole legal successor to the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, but those claims were opposed by other former republics. The United Nations also denied its request to automatically continue the membership of the former state. Eventually, after the overthrow of Slobodan Milošević from power as president of the federation in 2000, the country rescinded those aspirations and accepted the opinion of the Badinter Arbitration Committee about shared succession. It re-applied for UN membership on 27 October and was admitted on 1 November 2000.
The FRY was initially dominated by Slobodan Milošević as President of Serbia (1989–1997) and then President of Yugoslavia (1997–2000). Milošević installed and forced the removal of several federal presidents (such as Dobrica Ćosić) and prime ministers (such as Milan Panić). However, the Montenegrin government, initially enthusiastic supporters of Milošević, started gradually distancing themselves from his policies. That culminated in regime change in 1996, when his former ally Milo Đukanović reversed his policies, became leader of Montenegro's ruling party and subsequently dismissed former Montenegrin leader Momir Bulatović, who remained loyal to the Milošević government. As Bulatović was given central positions in Belgrade from that time (as federal Prime Minister), Đukanović continued to govern Montenegro and further isolated it from Serbia, so that from 1996 to 2006, Montenegro and Serbia were only nominally one country—governance at every feasible level was conducted locally (Belgrade for Serbia and Podgorica for Montenegro).

What claim can be made from the following pieces of evidence?
1. The best academic departments are ones run with purely academic aims .
2. Solving this problem requires that we split vocational and academic study , so that people doing one dont need to worry about the other .
3. If everyone is expected to have one eye on vocational training the academic study will necessarily suffer .
4. For example , maths students will invariably be taught Linear Algebra and Group Theory , normally in the first year , but 20 % of Mathematics graduates work in Business & Finance , where this is not relevant .
5. Every subject has certain parts which are more or less relevant to their related careers , but this may not be the same as the parts which are important to academic study of the subject .
6. Neither of these things are possible when you are worrying about jobs .
7. This affects undergraduate study in two ways : students must be free to spend time getting to grips with their subject properly , and lecturers must be allowed to teach the things they feel to be most important for their subject .
8. It follows that departments should be allowed to use this as their top priority .

London police are well known in the world. Today there are policemen everywhere, but in 1700 there was no policeman in London at all. A few old men used to protect the city streets at night, and they were not paid very much. About 300 years ago, London started to get bigger. The city was very dirty and many people were poor. There were so many thieves who stole money in the streets that people had to stay in their homes as much as possible. In 1750, Henry Fielding started to pay a group of people to stop thieves. They were like policemen and were called "Bow Street Runners" because they worked near Bow Street. Fifty years later, there were 120 Bow Street Runners, but London had become very big and needed more policemen. So, in 1829, the first London Police Force was started with 3,000 officers. Most of the men worked on foot, but a few rode horses. There was no policewoman in London until 1920. Today, London police are quite well paid and only a few police officers still ride horses. Perhaps the London Police Force's greatest achievement is to meet changing conditions and provide excellent police service .

I had an orgasm. Seriously. Ignore the bad reviews. They have no tastebuds. The different cuts of meat have their own distinct taste, and their mashed potatoes and fried bananas are delicious. Come early! Granted they open at 5:00pm, but we came in at 5:20pm and it was perfect! Not crowded at all, it was a two second wait, and there was no pressure to hurry up. IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME HERE, as it was mine, have them explain to you the rules on how the restaurant works. It will clear the confusion as I've read some had. Basically, you're open to have as much as you want from the salad bar, and when you're ready, you flip a card to green on your table to have meat delivered to you, until you flip the card back to red when you want no more. Of course, the atmosphere is beautiful, and I like how the areas are divided so that it won't feel so overwhelming. Now my biggest concern in any restaurant, are the waiters. They were amazing! Tentative, but it wasn't uncomfortable where they stand at your table the whole time. Everyone was friendly, and I would definately come back.

Here is an article:
Ford is recalling about 140,000 of its 2013 Escape crossovers in the United States because of a problem with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost 4-cylinder engine that has caused 13 fires, the automaker has told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, according to a report from the automaker posted Tuesday on the safety agencyâs website.
About 21,000 additional vehicles are being recalled in Canada and other export markets, a Ford spokeswoman, Kelli Felker, said in an interview.
Ford told the safety agency that âlocalized overheating of the engine cylinder headâ could cause cracks, allowing oil to leak and ignite should it drip onto a hot surface. The automaker said that 12 fires had occurred in the United States and one in Canada, but that it was not aware of any injuries.
The automaker said dealers would fix the problem by making âenhancements to the engine shielding, cooling and control systems.â
In a second action, Ford is recalling about 9,500 of its 2013 Escapes in the United States, also with the 1.6-liter, 4-cylinder engine, because a previous repair for fuel leaks may not have been done correctly, according to a report posted Tuesday on the agencyâs website.
The vehicles were among those recalled last year after the automaker determined that damaged fuel lines were used. Now, Ford says, it has discovered that some mechanics did not install the new lines properly and they may chafe against an engine part, resulting in a leak.
The action also covers about 2,300 more vehicles in Canada and other export markets.
The EcoBoost is a family of turbocharged engines of various displacements. It is an important engine that Ford has heavily promoted and plans to use in most of its vehicles. But many consumers are unhappy with vehicles using the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, according to Consumer Reports magazineâs Annual Auto Reliability ratings.
Ford described its recalls as voluntary, but once an automaker is aware of a safety problem it has no choice but to inform the safety agency within five business days of its plan for a recall.
Unlike major automakers including Chrysler, General Motors, Honda, Nissan and Toyota, Ford does not routinely announce its recalls. Instead, the automaker says, it responds to inquiries about information posted on the N.H.T.S.A. website.
In a third action, Ford is recalling about 7,300 of its 2013-14 Lincoln MKZ Hybrids because it may be possible to shift the automatic transmission out of Park without pushing on the brake pedal, according to an email from Ms. Felker, the Ford spokeswoman.

This week Netflix surprised everyone with the news that a new eight-episode series, The OA, will premiere on Friday. Like summer megahit Stranger Things, the intriguing new show about a 20-something woman looks to combine elements of science fiction, mystery and horror. It’s also notable that the trailer dropped just a few days before The OA premieres, a show of faith that this new offering doesn’t need much hype to hook audiences. Netflix didn’t release much information about the premise, but here’s what we know so far.
What it’s about:
The story centers on a woman who may or may not have it together: Prairie Johnson (Brit Marling) who returns to her family seven years after she disappeared without explanation. Twist #1: when she went missing as a kid, she was blind, and now she can see. In the trailer, Prairie plays a low-key game of “what happened to me for the last seven years?” If Prairie experienced severe trauma (or even resurrection) related to her disappearance, she couldn’t see it, but she can recall people through touch. The series asks the audience to buy into the “unknown,” and Netflix describes it as a “powerful, mind-bending tale about identity, human connection and the borders between life and death.”
Who’s involved:
The creators are the team behind the 2013 thriller The East: Brit Marling, who stars, and Zal Batmanglij, who directs all eight episodes. And you’ve probably seen Marling’s co-stars before: Emory Cohen (Tony Fiorello in Brooklyn), Scott Wilson (Hershel Greene in The Walking Dead) and Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies.)
What it’s like:
From what we can tell from the vibes of the trailer, this may be a strong contender to fill the gaping Stranger Things hole in your heart until the second season premieres in 2017. As Prairie’s recovers her memory, she seems to access some very supernatural experiences including that time she had a confused walkabout on a terrain that looks a lot like a video game. Like many stories about young female “science experiments” before her (Stranger Things and Firestarter anyone?) Prairie’s a small town girl participating in psychological experiments at an unethical lab, but there’s no telling how familiar it will be just yet. As far as mysteries about missing people go, it seems less horror-like than True Detective’s first season.
It might also scratch the Westworld itch before that show returns in 2018. As detectives question Prairie about her disappearance, she seems to flash back to memories that will give everyone some clarity on what happened to her. Dolores much? So if hopping on a rollercoaster “who am I?” ride is your thing, then this might be your show.
More cryptic hints from Netflix:
All ideal icebreakers for holiday parties.
Everyone will know more on Friday. Watch the full trailer above. ||||| The trailer looks spookily familiar
Today we’re all watching a new trailer for The OA, a sci-fi drama and psychological thriller that drops on Netflix this Friday – and might just become a whirlwind success.
The synopsis (from what we can gather from the trailer)
A young woman (Prairie Johnson, played by Brit Marling) goes missing and returns to her family seven years later. At first she doesn’t recognise them. It is revealed that when she went missing she was blind; she has now miraculously gained her sight, but can only recognise her parents from touch memory.
She then begins to talk about what happened when she went missing. “I didn’t disappear. I was present for all of it,” she says. The trailer cuts through clips of Prairie going through scientific experiments, slipping off the edge of a boat into the sea, running through the woods, and being spied upon through a door, revealing strange red and orange markings on her back. She rides on the back of a bicycle as the video cuts to a lorry falling from a viaduct. Cue lots of crescendo, running, blood falling backwards and, finally, the woman standing in a glass box in a house. It’s creepy as hell, and looks pretty incredible.
The new Stranger Things? The sequel to Stranger Things?
It’s very Stranger Things, but there’s no kid in sight. Take the scientific experimentation for example:
Very reminiscent of Eleven’s sensory deprivation tank.
And the bike riding. And van crashing.
Familiar?

Could The OA and Stranger Things be part of the same universe? Is Prairie Johnson an adult Eleven, or another one of Papa’s experiments from the Hawkins National Laboratory? Or is The OA just piggybacking on the Netflix success of July’s spooky thriller? Either way, it’s rather exciting.
READ: Stranger Things Season 2: Everything you need to know ||||| Here’s a concept: A medical mystery of a girl is seen hooked up to wires in a secretive research facility that appears to conduct high-tech mind-based experiments. The scene is contrasted by images of her running through woods and bleeding from the nose.
The character in question is Prairie Johnson in Netflix’s upcoming series “The OA” ― but she’s giving us serious Eleven from “Stranger Things” vibes. (Minus the whole ‘80s thing.) Netflix announced by surprise on Monday that all eight episodes of the drama series are set for release Friday.

Although the streaming service produces a lot of new original content on the regular, we usually know what’s coming out when. In this case, there’s almost no information about “The OA” on Netflix ― and only some creepy hints on Twitter.

The series comes from creators Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij, who partnered up on a environmental-themed thriller, “The East,” which premiered at Sundance in 2013.
Its trailer reveals little, but sets itself apart from “Stranger Things” with somber violin music and scenes bathed in muted tones. Marling stars as Prairie, who went missing for seven years as a girl and returned as an adult with her blindness mysteriously cured. After returning home to some intense public attention, a team of men questions Prairie about her disappearance, and she undergoes some kind of memory recovery therapy. In flashes, she’s also shown running through woods and fields, jumping off a bridge, and uncovering odd markings on her back. There’s a gun, blood, and an accident on a bridge.
Also appearing are Emory Cohen (Tony Fiorello in “Brooklyn”), Scott Wilson (Herschel Greene in “The Walking Dead”), Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy in “Harry Potter”) and Phyllis Smith (Phyllis Vance in “The Office”).
So: What’s “The OA” about? We’re still not quite sure. Social media pages for the series offer only the most cryptic of hints.
On Instagram, images showing pills and people hooked up to machines are peppered with messages reading “This is a dream but you’re wide awake,” “I liked it better when you were blind,” “How do we fight the cold?” and “Which way is up?” |||||
What is a summary? | – Netflix is letting everyone unwrap an early Christmas present on Friday: an eight-episode series that has remained a virtual mystery. Time notes The OA—starring Brit Marling as a young woman who comes back to her family after vanishing seven years earlier—looks like it's going to meld "science fiction, mystery, and horror," but beyond that basic plot point, not much else is known about the show. The magazine says it may "scratch the itch" of fans of Stranger Things and Westworld while those shows are on break. Netflix's sparse description labels it a "powerful, mind-bending tale about identity, human connection, and the borders between life and death." More reaction from online: The Huffington Post tries to cull clues from social media, including Netflix's US Twitter account—cryptic tweets such as "Have you seen death?" are among the possible tells—the show's Facebook page, and the series' Instagram photos, which so far reveal a woman with a bloody nose, people hooked up to intricate-looking machinery, and messages like "Who did this to you?," among others. NME takes the Stranger Things comparison further, wondering if The OA is "part of the same universe" and comparing some of the new show's imagery to that of the former—even speculating that Marling's character could be an adult Eleven. Vanity Fair details the show's major players, including Marling and director Zal Batmanglij, who worked together on the movies The East and The Sound of My Voice. The show's Netflix page also mentions appearances from Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies) and Brooklyn's Emory Cohen. The series' official trailer, which Time notes was released just this week as "a show of faith that this new offering doesn't need much hype to hook audiences."

Foods that are claimed to be negative in calories are mostly low-calorie fruits and vegetables such as celery, grapefruit, lemon, lime, apple, lettuce, broccoli, and cabbage. There is no scientific evidence to show that any of these foods have a negative calorific impact. Celery has a thermic effect of around 8%, much less than the 100% or more required for a food to have ``negative calories''. A stalk of celery provides 6 calories to the body, but the body expends only half of a calorie digesting it.

The couple that you shipped earlier this year, Marcia Clark and Chris Darden — or rather, Sarah Paulson as Marcia Clark and Sterling K. Brown as Chris Darden — just got an uncomfortable injection of reality. While The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story brought the real-life prosecutors back into the spotlight, one thing many people wanted to know about them was: Did they or didn’t they? Clark and Darden were famously tight-lipped about a possible relationship, which was hinted at during the FX show, but never confirmed. Clark told Vulture that she wouldn’t say anything so as to refuse “the subject any traction,” and Darden was a little more coy, saying, “If I were to say I had a relationship with Marcia Clark, people would say we lost the case because we were more interested in intimacy than the law and the facts, and that would be an even worse position to be in.” Darden added, “I’ll wait until Marcia’s sitting next to me to talk about it in greater detail.”
Caught alone at his home in an interview with ET, Darden is coming clean. “I think I have told the truth about it in lawyer land,” Darden said. “In lawyer land, hey, half truths are truths.” But when pressed, he admits, “Yes, we were more than friends.” But in a lawyer-y turnaround, he insists that they never kissed. “I’m not a kisser,” Darden said. “Kissing is intimate. Kissing is more intimate than sex.” When asked to describe Clark in one word, he said, “Fire.” Then he clarified, “I don’t think fire’s romantic. I think fire’s passion.” Sure, and an eggplant emoji just means you want baba ganoush for dinner tonight. ||||| O.J. Simpson prosecutor Christopher Darden is finally opening up about his relationship with fellow attorney Marcia Clark.
One day after The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story's huge night at the Emmy Awards on Sunday, the famed attorney sat down with ET's Lauren Zima at his home, where he opened up about the romantic rumors that have persisted since the infamous court case.
"We were more than friends," Darden said, cautiously choosing his words. "We were inseparable back then."

When pressed on whether or not he'd ever tell the whole truth about the nature of their relationship, the 60-year-old lawyer said, "I think I have told the truth."
"In lawyer land, a half truth is a truth," he added.
While Darden says he "really can't remember the details" of his time with Clark during the trial, he was insistent that the two never kissed, sharing, "I’m not a kisser. Kissing is intimate. Kissing is more intimate than sex."

Darden said that he and Clark haven't spoken in years -- but he thinks if they did, it would be a "great conversation."
"I think if I called her tomorrow we’d probably laugh our butts off," he said. "Talk about our kids and people and talk about how we miss some people from the trial."
When Darden, who fielded interview questions with the same verbal dexterity lawyers bring to an interrogation, was asked how he'd describe his relationship with Clarke in only one word, he chose a very telling noun: "Fire."
However, Darden then danced around his choice, denying that "fire" had any romantic connotations. "I don’t think fire’s romantic. I think fire’s passion," he argued.

While he remained as tight-lipped as he's been in the past, Darden still had nothing but praise for the woman he fought alongside during the most highly publicized trial of the modern age, calling her a "fabulous woman [and] a fabulous lawyer."
Darden delves into the infamous trial in his best-selling memoir, In Contempt, which he is now re-releasing.
The lawyer, who claims to have never watched The People v. O.J. Simpson, also addressed the show's triumphant run at the Emmys, and praised star Sarah Paulson for bringing Clark as her date, calling the move "first class."

"I thought that was wonderful," Darden marveled. Paulson, who took home the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie, also paid tribute to the powerful attorney she portrayed while delivering her acceptance speech.
Darden also had a lot of love for Sterling K. Brown, the actor who played him in the FX miniseries – and took home his own Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie -- sharing, "People that have watched it said he did a great, great job, so I’m glad for that. I’m glad for him." Check out the video below to hear more from the prosecutor on what it was like to be portrayed by the Emmy-winning star.

Dana Milbank Live: The GOP demands chimichanga tweet apology. Should they get it?
Good afternoon. My reference to the lowly chimichanga became quite a hot tamale this week after Obama campaign manager Jim Messina tweeted it out and the RNC took umbrage. I've written my Sunday column about the episode; it hopefully is being posted as I write this and the inimitable Haley Crum will link to it here. Questions? Comments? TexMex puns?
Dana, you must feel good about how your column has had an impact on the Washington discussion. Maybe the GOP is upset because they mistook the meaning of chimichanga....Not too many foodies on that side!
This did not occur to me. So they thought a chimichanga was like a macaca and not a deep-fried burrito? But there are definitely Republican foodies. They may not be into the locally sourced and sustainable thing, and they may be more into lamb and foie gras, but they are out there.

Its pretty obvious that this is an attempt at point scoring, but its also pretty obvious there would be the same outrage if the situation was flipped, just with each side defending the other view. No one ever really gets offended anymore, and very few people in politics have morals or lines they won't cross with a statement. Its sad that we have devolved from a world of MTP to a world where everyone has to say the most offensive tweet they can to get publicity. I personally blame MSNBC/ FOX for their shameless chasing of ratings over real news.
I agree entirely with the exception of my own MSNBC appearances. Those are as sober and reasoned as the Newshour. Last night I broke up a fight between Al Sharpton and Michael Steele. (Reluctantly.)

Yes - I think an apology is in order - at least from Obama's manager on retweeting this insensitive and arrogant comment. If any GOP affiliate did this exact sequence - the response would be brutal from Dems and by now an apology would have been delivered. What is good for the goose is good for the gander - period!
Your comment is offensive to poultry everywhere. Please apologize for the insensitive way in which you stereotyped geese and gander.

The ugliness from the left-wing media recently -- like the trumped-up contraception nonsense and the racist Chimichanga slur -- makes me think you're more worried about Obama's re-election chances than you're letting on. If you were certain Obama would cakewalk to re-election, you wouldn't have to go this ugly this early, would you, Chimichanga Boy?
Somebody sounds like he just bit a jalapeno. (I assume rants such as this are male in origin, and I pre-emptively apologize to women, and men, if that is offensive.) You are making the common mistake of assuming I am motivated by ideology. My ideological leanings are mild compared to my heavy bias in favor of a good story. Nothing would make me happier than a Rick Santorum presidency. Romney-Obama is pretty much a wash; both boring, though perhaps I favor Romney slightly because of the potential for funny awkwardness.

Hey, folks! Just a friendly reminder that if you submit a question/comment that amounts to nothing more than namecalling, trolling or personal attacks, then it will not be passed over to Dana to see or respond to.
Where did these things come from - chimichanga, chalupa, et al. Don't ever recall seeing them in real Mexican restaurants when I was a kid [Texas, '50s]. Is this more made up DC culture &*#(@ [dog exhaust] infecting our country? If so, where do you go for authenic anymore?
Yes, that's one of the points underlying this whole silly thing. The chimichanga is an American invention. As McCain himself said, it was created in Arizona. TexMex is an entirely different category of food from Mexican.
Then there's the larger point, made as usual by the folks at Comedy Central:
"Never ever never reference a chimichanga — or, for that matter, any type of stuffed tortilla-based foodstuff — to a person of Latin American heritage. It's almost as bad as talking about a stromboli in front of an Italian. Or meatloaf in front of a WASP. (Actually, if I'm not mistaken, an ill-timed meatloaf quip was a contributing factor in the Protestant Reformation.)"

Let this be a lesson for Obama and the rest of the Democrats: if you repeat something Dana Milbank says, you're going to look stupid.
I think you are being too narrow. Sen. Jeff Sessions, Arizona Republican, emailed to his press list my column on Obama's pathetic budget this week. So presumably he now looks stupid too, not just Democrats.

Is Chimichanga so insulting? Isn't it like saying, "the candidate only has a donut to offer the American people"? Of, course, President Kennedy used a similar phrase in Germany, offering relations with the country by saying he was a jelly donut..... (Ich bin ein Berliner)....
I call on President Kennedy to apologize to the German people.

Stupid, meaningless distraction from the real issue of why you in the media chose a Kenyan-born Muslim communist to be what used to be the leader of the free world.

I'm now going to refer to Hispanics as "Chimichanga Eaters". It's not at all offensive, is it, Dana?
It is offensive to me because I am a Chimichanga Eater and have been since I was a boy. In fact the vast majority of Chimichanga Eaters, I would submit, are non-Latinos going to faux TexMex restaurants somewhere in the suburbs, as I did on Long Island. They are probably washing it down with one of those dreadful margaritas made from a mix.

For the record, Republicans also have the Philly cheesesteaks to offer, since three of the Republican candidates have Pennsylvania connections. Although, since Gingrich left the Harrisburg area for Georgia, and Ron Paul left the Pittsburgh area for Texas. and Santorum now lives and claims to be a Virginia resident, maybe I should take that back.
Was recently in Philly on a cheesesteak pilgrimage, and based on all the sex shops selling contraceptives near Jim's on South Street I'm thinking this was not a Republican crowd.

Have you ever tried a martini at the Heart Attack Cafe, where, as you probably heard, someone finally had a heart attack. You know, maybe this is how we should choose our leaders. They eat good American food like cheeseburgers, bacon, non-fat soda. butterfat milkshakes, and unfiltered cigarettes at the Heart Attack Cafe, and the last one standing (or sitting but not collapsed on the floor) wins.
Hopefully I said margarita, not martini, but at any rate I have not sampled the above-mentioned drink, though I endorse your plan for selecting our leaders. I'm partial to a martini made from Bluecoat Gin, which like the cheesesteak is from Philadelphia.

Anyone believing there was *any* offense with your use of chimichanga as an illustration of clueless republicans must either not have read your column or are illiterate. Therefore, allowing them to expose their ignorance is a cheap shot, and an insult to illiterates everywhere!

The Los Angeles Times is a daily newspaper which has been published in Los Angeles, California, since 1881.
The "Times" was first published on December 4, 1881, as the "Los Angeles Daily Times" under the direction of Nathan Cole Jr. and Thomas Gardiner. It was first printed at the Mirror printing plant, owned by Jesse Yarnell and T.J. Caystile. Unable to pay the printing bill, Cole and Gardiner turned the paper over to the Mirror Company. In the meantime, S. J. Mathes had joined the firm, and it was at his insistence that the "Times" continued publication. In July 1882, Harrison Gray Otis moved from Santa Barbara to become the paper's editor. Otis made the "Times" a financial success.
Historian Kevin Starr wrote that Otis was a businessman "capable of manipulating the entire apparatus of politics and public opinion for his own enrichment". Otis's editorial policy was based on civic boosterism, extolling the virtues of Los Angeles and promoting its growth. Toward those ends, the paper supported efforts to expand the city's water supply by acquiring the rights to the water supply of the distant Owens Valley. The efforts of the "Times" to fight local unions led to the October 1, 1910 bombing of its headquarters, killing twenty-one people. Two union leaders, James and Joseph McNamara, were charged. The American Federation of Labor hired noted trial attorney Clarence Darrow to represent the brothers, who eventually pleaded guilty.

(CNN) -- A first-class return ticket from New York to Hong Kong for $43 and four air miles sounds too good to be true. And when Brian Kelly purchased such a fare -- which usually costs about $11,000 -- using United's online ticketing system last week, he knew that's exactly what it was. But he also knew from first-hand experience that "error fares" -- rock-bottom fares mistakenly issued by carriers -- can sometimes be recognized as good for travel by airlines. Having booked two fares at rock-bottom prices on the site, Kelly, who runs an advice website for frequent flyers called The Points Guy, alerted his readers to the "amazing deal" on his website, encouraging them to take advantage of the offer before United corrected the glitch -- then waited to see if the ticket would be honored.
The airline would not say how many people booked flights for the incorrect price, or how many actually managed to travel on the cheap fares by commencing their travel before

There once was a guy named Kevin and girl named Erin. They really liked spending time together. One day, Kevin traveled from his home in the United States of America to Erin's house in England. They then thought to take a sudden trip around the world. They first traveled by plane around Europe, where they saw many different people and sights. They then took a boat to Africa and Asia, where they went on a trip through the mountains. Later in the month, they traveled to China by train and were allowed to see how different life was over there. Next they took another plane to Australia, where they had a lot of fun seeing kangaroos and a different type of English speaking people. After spending a week in Australia, Kevin and Erin took a really long plane ride to North America, where they drove across the land. They saw everything from the mountains to forests. They even got to visit the beach! Because they had so much fun, Kevin returned home with Erin to England where they hung out and spent the next few days and months talking about all of the neat things they saw and did on their trip.

To protect its seagoing interests and trade routes, Portugal established strategic garrisons in Goa (India), Malacca (East Indies), and Hormuz in the Persian Gulf. Portuguese explorers then embarked upon Macau (now Macao), the Congo, and various other parts of Africa, including the Sudan. The Portuguese policy was to avoid armed strife and to develop a trade empire, rather than to conquer nations. To this end it succeeded with relatively few blood-soaked episodes in its colonial history. Adventures abroad, however, proved disastrous during the second half of the 16th century. In 1557 the 14-year-old boy-king Sebastião ascended the throne, the beginning of a calamitous reign that was to end at the battle of Alcacer-Quiber (Morocco) in pursuit of a vain crusade. Sebastião's untimely demise, alongside some 18,000 ill-prepared, badly led followers, set the stage for a crisis of succession. For many years afterwards, legends and rumors bizarrely insisted that the king was still alive, and imposters turned up from time to time claiming the throne; those who were plausible enough to be deemed a threat were summarily executed. In fact, the only rightful claimant to the crown was the elderly Prince Henry. But after two years of alternating between the throne and his sickbed, he died, heirless. Surveying the situation and smelling an opportunity, Spain occupied the power vacuum, and Portugal's neighbor and long-time antagonist became its master. Spanish rule dictated Portugal's inadvertent involvement in Spain's ongoing wars. In 1587 a squadron of British ships commanded by Francis Drake attacked the Algarve (now a "legitimate target" as Spanish territory) and sacked Sagres, thus depriving the world of the relics of Henry the Navigator. Nine years later Faro was torched. The 1386 Treaty of Windsor, by which Britain and Portugal had pledged eternal friendship, seemed a distant memory. Portugal's empire was gradually eroded, and many of its trading posts (with the notable exception of Brazil) were picked off by the British and Dutch. Finally, after 60 years of Spanish rule, Portuguese noblemen (aided by the French, then at war with Spain) organized a palace coup and restored independence. The Great Disaster Portugal's greatest misfortune struck on All Saint's Day, 1 November 1755.

The McLouth Steel Corporation, hard-hit by the slump in the nation's automobile industry, said yesterday that its secured lenders had declared the company in default under loan and security agreements covering $166 million in debt.
McLouth said the declaration of default related mainly to the fact that weakened steel demand had caused its tangible net worth to drop to $103.1 million as of Oct. 31. This was $4.4 million less than required under applicable loan and security agreements.
An immediate effect of the lenders' action, McLouth said in a statement, was to speed the maturity date of the company's secured debt, which analysts said remained at $166 million.
''The bulk of McLouth's cold-rolled steel goes to the automobile industry, which is currently operating at depressed levels,'' said Alan Kurland, an analyst with Laidlaw Adams & Peck Inc. ''Also, their cost structure is relatively high in view of the large electricity demand of their melting furnaces.'' Discussions With Lenders
Detroit-based McLouth said that it was involved in discussions with its bank and insurance company lenders and with ''third parties'' in an attempt to rearrange its financing in a way that would not necessitate the repayment of the debt at this time.
''We are still talking,'' a spokesman for McLouth said yesterday while declining to name the lenders, or the terms being sought by the company.
Mr. Kurland said: ''I think they will strike a deal with their lenders. They may extend the maturity of the debt, or accept convertible preferred stock in lieu of the debt. I strongly doubt that they will declare bankruptcy.''
In March, McLouth entered into a revised credit agreement with various banks, under terms of which the company received $20 million in cash and was granted a moratorium until April 1982 on principal payments of some $11 million in debt.
In June, McLouth sold its stainless steel division, which accounted for about 11 percent of 1980 sales, to the Jones & Laughlin Steel Corporation for $23.5 million. That division's Detroit-based facility, equipment and inventory accounted for about 5 percent of McLouth's consolidated total assets of $188 million as of Dec. 30, 1980.
Under terms of the revised credit agreement, McLouth was required to place certain of the proceeds of the sale into a cash-collateral fund of more than $12.5 million restricted through April 1982.
