    Woah there!  Let's not get all ivory-tower out of touch elitist on him!  Numbers are no fair.  They muddle his feelings.

    What if we limit the real numbers to just the positive integers?

    Hi Robert,

    I am wondering just how 'accidentally' that really was.

    Jerry Baumchen

    Agreed. Especially when the attorney also "accidentally" failed to claim privilege over the info. Perhaps he is just fed up with working with a gigantic asshole, and wants to see Jones get what he really deserves.

    Hi Sky,

    My thinking is that a fair amount of Republican women made the difference in Kansas. *

    Let's hope it is a trend.

    * I have no data to back this up.

     

    Somewhere I read yesterday that 70% of new voter registrations in Kansas since the Dobbs decision were women.

    Oh, this is beautiful. From today in court, a lawyer confronts Jones with proof that in depostions, he lied about having text messages, and lied about using email. And apparently Jones is incapable of answering "Yes" or "No" to a simple, direct question.

    Update: The Jan 6 Committee is interested in that data revealed by the plaintiff attorney:

    From last night's letter from Heather Cox Richardson:

    Today, voters in Kansas overwhelmingly rejected an amendment to their state constitution that would have stripped it of protections for abortion rights. With 86% of the vote in, 62% of voters supported abortion protections; 37% wanted them gone. That spread is astonishing. Kansas voters had backed Trump in 2020; Republicans had arranged for the referendum to fall on the day of a primary, which traditionally attracts higher percentages of hard-line Republicans; and they had written the question so that a “yes” vote would remove abortion protections and a “no” would leave them in place. Then, today, a political action committee sent out texts that lied about which vote was which.

    So it sounds like the vote spread would have been even wider without the machinations of the GOP.

    what a hypocrite!  
     

    if link doesn’t work (copying from a teeny mobile device while held hostage at JFK by Delta airlines) it’s about GOP Rep Glenn Thompson who voted against gay marriage bill within days of attending his son’s gay wedding).

    No, it isn't. It's like Polack jokes and racist comments, only we're not actually your drinking or job buddies you can snicker about the knockers on the new girl in the office. We're a relatively anonymous internet forum, a group of people like you. I've actually seen George Carlin -- he was very funny indeed.

    That is insulting to us.

    I asked that question back when I was a kid.

    Something along the lines of:

    Since the people that claim Jesus as their 'savior' tend to treat each other in a way that goes about as far against his teachings as is possible, has he decided not to come back, that we'd just throw away his gift again?

    Suffice to say that didn't go very well.

    Long hair, beard and sandles
    And a funky bunch of friends
    Reckon we'd just nail him up
    If he came down again
