Ok, truth time -- I don't care for mustard or mayonnaise in most circumstances.

However I still argue that using them a regular sandwich is weird. You're biting into something that is already sandwiched between two soft slices of bread, why moisten the bread moreso?

Then again, I'm disgusted by PB&J sandwiches because of the same principle. It's a big pile of mush, what the hell.

e: To clarify, it's not necessarily that you're moistening the bread with the condiment, it's that you're introducing a wet element into the bite along with the soft bread.

This was really interesting, thanks for sharing! As already stated in the thread, an awful lot of analysis and thinking for little apparent result in editorial policy, but any editorial policy pronouncement would like just end up being its own news story and all the analysis would get discarded in the process.


This viewpoint is unbearably prevalent. My favorite response to the immigration debate is "they should just follow the law!" Spoken like someone who's never encountered an law that was unethical towards them, of course.

Clearly the proper response should be that God told them not to follow that law.

"Banking industry executives must no longer be allowed to serve on the Fed’s boards and to handpick its members and staff. Board positions should instead include representatives from all walks of life — including labor, consumers, homeowners, urban residents, farmers and small businesses."

Oh good. Let's have our monetary system run by people who think that the government should budget like a family budgets. Great idea.

Anyone who likes yellow mustard is probably unhygienic, has buck teeth, is balding, wears a wolf shirt, has both legs replaced with artificial ones due to diabetes, votes republican, listens to glam rock in an annoyingly religious way, uses the same pair of underwear for a week without washing them, pees in the back yard, mails a pinch of flour in their letters to congress, lets their pitbulls run free in the street, spits on their hand before handshaking to an agreement, shoots the neighbor's cats with an airsoft rifle that looks like an M16, watches reruns of all in the family, laughs with gusto at all the racist jokes, burps and farts loudly inside the sporting goods store, teases the mentally ill, doesn't tip, keeps all of their receipts inside several shoe boxes, hangs multiple flags of the confederate states in their living room, lets their children ride the handicap scooters in the grocery store whenever they want, prays to god every night for obama's death, doesn't use their turn signal when turning, flips off any homeless on their way to work, left their pet iguana to die of starvation in their previous trailer home, uses the same fake christmas tree their parents had 25 years ago, goes out of their way to yell at entitled millennials, sells their prescription pain killers to some millennial down the street, participated in an anti-abortion rally in the past year, leaves broken down used cars in their front yard that they say they'll get to fixing but never do, and is generally an unpleasant person.

Remember how the Wisconsin Supreme Court killed that investigation into Scott Walker's possible campaign coordination efforts during his 2012 recall campaign without the two judges who had been elected on the back of said illegally coordinating groups recusing themselves? Well that case may not be dead, and may try appealing the lack of recusal to SCOTUS.

Here's details of one someone found in Czech archives. The plan was basically "nuke Europe, our satellites invade a radioactive wasteland, their troops all die, and then the Red Army makes it to the Pyrenees in 9 days." It sounds about as insane as our war plans.

Ok, I guess I'm in the minority here but I don't get this -- why put a wet condiment on a regular sandwich? That makes no sense to me. Regular sliced bread is already soft, you're just making your sandwich soggy with it.

Larry Klayman's Judicial Watch group has now sued for access to the scientist e-mails that Congressman Lamar Smith (R-TX) has failed to successfully acquire, as well as any e-mails that might be prove that there is a conspiracy in refusing to forward the e-mails to Smith. Klayman and Smith would very much like to make another Climategate situation from out-of-context e-mail clippings in their continuing efforts to prove God-Emperor Obama's global warming hoax and to put an end to the Paris agreement in any way they can.

The Dakotas and ever major population center. The difference is you only need a few airbursts to depopulate Southern California because people don't live in hardened silos while you need to drop penetrating hydrogen bombs at close range to take out a missile site.

I think mayonnaise would be a more tolerable condiment if it came in Dijon mustard sized containers. A teaspoon can really go a long way in giving bland scrambled eggs some nice flavor.

But when you're slathering all over your food... I don't know, what the gently caress is wrong with people?

There are also accusations that MSNBC covered up Obama's request for Dijon Mustard. I don’t know whether they did, but I’m far more concerned over the manner in which Fox news covered up far more important things, such as how George Bush lied the country into a war.

I remember some publication from the period (someone posted a scanned page) showing likely nuke hits, with what amounts to nuclear saturation bombing over the NORAD half of Wyoming. There might have been one or three over by Offutt/SAC but there were like several dozen over Wyoming because they wanted to make sure they slagged Cheyenne Mountain.

You aren't taking out the silos with your nukes. If I remember correctly, you're basically trying to kick up enough debris to destroy the other guys missiles when they launch them. Or something like that. It was brought up in the cold war thread in tfr at some point
