Why not just get a job in Chelsey Richard Napoleon's Clerk of Court's office if he is so interested in being Clerk of Court?

He had zero experience and could have learned a lot from her. She had 24 years working in and leading the Civil Clerk's office...she was qualified to do the job.
In rural Ireland we spoke to some locals who think Trump is awful because of the way he is handling our illegal immigrants...

Later we asked about all the immigrants we saw in Dublin...they hate their immigrants and think Ireland should do something to get rid of them. Their double standard was interesting.

I hate when stats like these are presented without any context whatsoever. Yeah, that sounds like a long time, but that entire 24 year period includes a grand total of two games at Kentucky.


Yep, context matters:

One of those games (2007) was a national championship year anyway. Maybe they overlooked the wildcats after all the wins they had piled up.

The last one was Orgeron's final season when the team was not playing well anywhere against anybody.

LK will have the Tigers ready for this one.
She was sentenced to DEATH, not to a certain dosage of sedative. Put her to death by whatever means.

He must be doing better. He was recruiting at my alma mater earlier today!
My parents used Ancestry.com.

Dad got good results, especially on the Irish, Scottish, Brittish and Sicilian traces.

Mama is mostly French and German (Alcase,Lorainne) and the records had a lot of dead ends. For whatever reason (wars, lands changing hands) the Alcase region has shitty records.
I'm 61 and engaged to a woman I wish I had met in the 90s. Career may be nearly over and I/we won't need earned income soon.
Kids have careers, spouses, kids and houses. I have land to work and freedom to do so. Friends and family make life good and a lover makes it great.
The thrill is alive even in my 7th decade. 7th? frick that sounds old; but all is good.
My dad did the genealogy. He had Confederate and Union relatives five generations back. The Union relative was a recent Italian immigrant to NOLA who could not find farm work down south so he worked on an Illinois farm. When the war broke out the Union paid more than the farm so he fought for Lincoln. Moved back to NOLA after the war.
Our Confederate relatives were from the FL GA AL line area. They were a mix of Irish servants and English who lost Fort Mimms to the Indians. WW2 brought that side of the family to NOLA.

It's a geographically small city with a big arse central park, so that tracks.

However, it always humors me that "green space" metrics only include public green spaces while utterly ignoring whether the average person has "private green space", i.e. a yard.


I agree on the small yards.

This metric in the study probably includes the Bayou Sauvage NWR and the marshes along Lakes Borgne, Catherine and Pontchartrain. That undevelopable part of NOLA is near 30,000 acres. You need a boat to enjoy it, but it is greenspace.

There will never be a 9-3 team that wins a natty. Isn’t that the whole point of a playoff


Correct; they would end up 13-3 if they win it all. Or 14-3 in the 24 team playoff.

That's walking distance. And a unlicensed kid riding a motorcycle on the streets is a hazard. Electric bikes, scooters and motorcycles are out of control. That shite needs to be reined in somehow.
Wow. At the end the president of the freedman's association says they need $800K each in reparations to close the wealth gap.

Absolute insanity. Try working, saving and investing like us "privileged" folks have to do.
Yep, I remember the loss during the 2007 NC run; we were lucky to get into the NC game that year. And a few years prior we needed the Bluegrass Miracle to get a W.

Lexington has been a tough place to play. But this year will be different, Geaux Tigers!

Great idea but we should call the three nations Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia...I'm sure there would not be endless wars.
How and why did night games get so coveted? LSU has had night games since 1931 when we installed lights, way before the 1st regular season night game in 1969 (Ole Miss vs Bama). The rest have always envied us but why should we give up OUR pre-TV tradition for them? Jealous much?
My kids read (teacher and and 1st Seargent) and my oldest grand daughter read great. Only idiots rely on the parish to educate their offspring...get involved.
As badass as LSU is and always will be (and since my paw paw helped engineer TS) and since we had lights and night-games in 1931 which was 4 decades before televised night games) we should ALL friken WAYS have carte Blanche to night games.

Grammar, I apologize...but tradition matters. LSU at night is CFB tradition...brace it

This year will be different because:

quote:

Non-Conference Records vs. Power Four Conferences
SEC: 10–2
Big 12: 5–7
ACC: 6–9
Big Ten: 4–10


quote:

The SEC is 5-0 against the ACC, 3-1 against the Big 12 and 2-1 against the Big Ten. It's the only league with a winning record against the rest of the Power Four.


The committee cant ignore facts so lets see how the rest of the season plays out.

The SEC gets 4 teams minimum and may get 5 again.
Explain to me why a nice looking woman would want to become a scrawny wierd looking "dude"?

The proposal would create an exception to existing Social Security rules for workers who have spent enough of their careers in physically demanding jobs, allowing them to receive unreduced retirement benefits seven years before the current full retirement age.


I understand her concern, but don't we already have disability (both corporate insurance and SSDI) for folks that lose their ability to work?

To do away with it now would bankrupt farmers


The largest 10% of U.S. farms receive approximately 80% of federal commodity subsidies. It is stupid to subsidize corn (and soy) when we have so much of it that we have to invent ways to put it in products when at the same time we have a beef shortage. Turn some of those cornfields into pasture and grow more beef. Buy live herds from south America if we have to jumpstart that.
