Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

His channel gets a metric crap ton lot of hate from the woke mob for pushing back at their narrative based rewriting of history.

But less often than I think about your boobs, in case it is an attractive woman asking.

Funny - on the other side of this, I had the dawg in for his annual shots last week, and there was a fill-in vet at the office. I was wearing a Warrior Poet Society hoodie that I have with really subtle graphics - just the emblem and the "TRN-HRD TRN-SMT" in really small letters.

The first words out of her mouth were "John Lovell! Train hard, train smart!" I think my jaw dropped because most guys don't know that. It turns out she's a retired Army medic who did two tours in Afghanistan. While we were talking, she told me the first question she asked her boyfriend before they started dating was, "Sheep or sheepdog?", and one of those answers would have killed the first date.  :laugh:
Even if the guy didn't know what she was talking about, what guy would answer "sheep"?  Maybe if they thought it was a menu question.

I see a Rubicon every day.
Sometimes we carry more weight then we owe.
And sometimes goes on and on and on.
