Swiping the card with hookers would probably not turn out well. An interesting set of dynamics in that relationship.

But unless you are hitting garage sales, you really do not need cash. I have the same three bills in my wallet that I have three weeks ago. The next step in the technology is thsat you will have not only your credit/debit card info there but also your driver's licence, medical cards retail loyalty cards etc, etc.

According to Faux News today, the debacle in Afghanistan would never have happened if Trump was in the White House.

Wanna bet? Actually, the cost to the US alone, not counting British and Canadian costs, has been estimated as close to TWO trillion dollars. And it is worth mentioning that for every war fatality, there are 6-8 permanently disabled. If the US experiences in post-Viet Nam and post 9-11 government treatment of those maimed in those events, the disabled will be treated like trash.

I had heard this was both bad and infantile, but this sets new standards for stupidity. A great start for GOP Canada.

‘Star Trek’ Actress Nichelle Nichols Struggling With Dementia, Trapped in Conservatorship Battle: Report -Getty Nichelle Nichols, the actress who played the beloved Nyota Uhura in Star Trek, is caught at the center of a years-long conservatorship battle made worse by her bout with dementia, the Los Angeles Times reports. Kyle Johnson, her only child, claimed his mother could be exploited due to her dementia and sought a petition for her conservatorship, which he won, in 2018. Johnson alleges that Gilbert Bell, Nichols’ former manager, has used his used his influence to take control of Nichols’ assets and personal affairs. Bell, in turn, has filed a lawsuit against Johnson claiming he is orchestrating an “aggressive” attempt to remove him from Nichols’ guest home. (In a countersuit, Johnson accuses Nichols of taking “control over Ms. Nichols’ assets and personal affairs” as her dementia worsened.) Angelique Fawcette, a friend of Nichols whom the actress named as her successor, claims that Bell left the home in a state of “disrepair” even as he took care of Nichols’ meals and medical appointments—and that Bell proposed that he marry Nichols, prompting concern from her family and friends. However, Fawcette objected to Johnson’s petition for conservatorship as she believes the former actress can manage her own affairs.

O'Toole will be pilloried as an ineffective leader who cost them a sure victory. On the positive side, after being ousted, he may be given his spine back.

The war in Afghanistan (the graveyard of empires) has gone exactly the way Eric Margolis and others predicted. The Americans are begging the Talban (which they created and funded) to let them slink away with their tails between their legs. The Afghanis have defeated invaders from India(3x) Iran, Alexander the Great (Macedonia), Russia, Britain (2x) and now the US with a ragtag army. America is now exposed as a paper tiger and a crumbling empire.

New ‘Jeopardy!’ host Mayim Bialik also faces scrutiny for ‘shaming’ Harvey Weinstein’s victims By MARTHA ROSS | Bay Area News Group After Mayim Bialik was named one of the new hosts of “Jeopardy!” this week, she was forced to clarify that she’s not anti-vaccine after social media users focused on her 2012 comments about her hesitancy to vaccinate her children. Bialik’s positions on vaccines may not be the only past troubling comments she’ll need to answer for, as questions remain over the way she and longtime executive producer Mike Richards were selected to replace the late Alex Trebek. The Daily Beast reported that the “Big Bang Theory” alum sparked controversy in October 2017, shortly after powerful Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein was exposed as a serial sexual predator in groundbreaking investigative news stories that sparked the #MeToo movement. At the height of national outrage over the extent of Weinstein’s alleged abuses, Bialik penned a controversial New York Times op-ed. She argued that she had never been sexually harassed or assaulted in Hollywood because she’s a “nontraditional looking” actress who chooses to dress modestly. The Daily Beast’s entertainment reporter Tirhakah Love brought up Bialik’s problematic comments about vaccines and Weinstein’s victims to raise questions about the way ABC went about selecting a new “Jeopardy!” host. The network created a lot of fanfare about bringing in a number of celebrity guest hosts to audition, raising fans’ hope that the network was truly interested in looking at diverse candidates, Love explained. It appears that the show already had an insider — Richards — primed for the role. Richards will take over the primary hosting duties, while Bialik will host “Jeopardy!” spin-off competitions. This week, Richards also was reminded of his own past issues, being implicated in multiple pregnancy discrimination and wrongful termination lawsuits while producing “The Price Is Right,” the Daily Beast also reported. To her credit, Bialik was a highly popular choice for many “Jeopardy!” fans, but Levar Burton also had an enthusiastic fan base, and the former host of the groundbreaking children’s show “Reading Rainbow” might not have as much baggage as Bialik, as Love pointed out. That luggage includes her Oct. 13, 2017 New York Times op-ed, titled “Being a Feminist in Harvey Weinstein’s World.” In her column, Bialik at first seemed intent on shedding light on how powerful men in Hollywood like Weinstein could get away with victimizing multiple women. After castigating the entertainment industry for its long and sordid history of objectifying and exploiting women, Bialik drew social media fury for explaining there are upsides to not being “a perfect 10.” “Those of us in Hollywood who don’t represent an impossible standard of beauty have the ‘luxury’ of being overlooked,” she said, “and, in many cases, ignored by men in power unless we can make them money.” She then implied that she’s been “overlooked” by predators because she has always dressed modestly and never acted flirtatiously with men. It took Bialik about five days to figure out why people were so mad at her for appearing to blame victims for being assaulted. Advocates for survivors said she failed to understand that men who abuse women are less interested in sex and more turned on by humiliating women and exerting power.

Our kick return game has to get better as well. I don't know if its the blocking or lack of ability on the part of our returner(s) but it has been meh so far this year. He ought to be able to do better- he was not in the clear that often. -
