We're in the market to buy a house next spring / summer. I noticed a number of the houses in the area here have gone unsold for the past few months, and just saw a realtor friend in California comment on lots of expired listings in his area. CNBC reporting NYC is moving into a buyer's market - http...

In recent years I’ve steered far clear of Saturday Night Live because, while it’s always done political humor, I’ve felt it has become mean. Last night I happened to watch the show’s opening, and it was downright funny to me. https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/409112-matt-damon-plays-...

Not so for California (where I've lived for 35 years), whose districts were drawn by an independent commission with equal R and D representation. It's the only good thing that has ever emerged from the California proposition system, but it's a very good thing. Thanks for the insight, CU. Perhaps yo...

:lol: You make it sound like the Rs are the only ones carving up states to their political advantage. Google “congressional district map” for any D controlled state and you’ll see a fair share of swirls, pig tails, and hourglass shapes in those states, too. You won’t though because it doesn’t fit yo...

Youth, I truly hope your laughter is honest. The old Randyrad can certainly defend himself, but in the ten+ years I read LP postings not once did I ever see him personally attack another poster for any reason. You and others may disagree with his opinions or politics, but you can never say he’s not ...

If K is confirmed though, GOP can kiss the mid-term women's vote goodbye. Stating the obvious? As for me, I believe both could be telling their own truth. Right sclax...that's where I've been on this. BTW, how did you go from Ford to King? :D No idea, tech. I’ve been doing that here and in conversa...

If K is confirmed though, GOP can kiss the mid-term women's vote goodbye. Stating the obvious? I’m not sure this is true. Spoke to my daughter last night, who works with a conservative woman from TX who happens to be a retired Army Sergeant Major. The SM’s take is we’re now in times where any high ...

I think what is clear is that the Republicans are going to attempt to play the innocent till proven guilty gambit. As opposed to the Democrats who believe you are guilty until proven innocent. Come on man, you are better than that. I simply mean this is not a court, there is no prosecutor (regardle...

I hope the swells materialize for you. They didn’t the past few days around Wilmington.

I’m heading out to avoid the projected two days of hurricane winds and potential 25-30” of rain, and hoping I can return early next week.

Holmes threw cold water all over that idea.

How about Sinatrally Good Beer?

Wilmington Boat Show this afternoon (runs all weekend), then the rest of the weekend I’m going to take advantage of the growing surf from Florence and get some surfing in before the swells turn into chaos.

Gerrymandering: Not just for conservatives anymore! https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/06/how-deep-blue-maryland-shows-redistricting-is-broken/531492/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2018/03/28/how-maryland-democrats-pulled-off-their-aggressive-gerrymander/?utm_term=.7e92...

Actually, we Democrats (including me) predicted: —That Donald Trump would be a boot-licking sycophant of Vladimir Putin; —Would pursue racist policies; —Was unfit for the presidency; and —Would be the most dishonest and corrupt president in American history. All of that has come true. So, I think m...

+1, but no lacrosse board’s joke thread would be complete without the inimitable Jim Malone.

Does anyone know how to reach out to him? I need a Malone joke fix.

Nonsense. ..... In contrast, to date (and just to date), President Donald John Trump is an unindicted co-conspirator of two felony violations of federal campaign laws. At some point, message board b*llsh*t needs to give way to cold hard reality. DocBarrister 8-) 1. I could be wrong here, but over t...
