What we learn here is that Mike Rogers thinks America may have deserved the 9/11 attacks. It’s an open, debatable question in his mind.

I dunno about that, does “blessing” it involve cutting more of it off?

Yes, harm reduction is paramount. You must vote for and support the candidate who’ll kill only 700,000 people. It’s a moral imperative, because 700,000 is less than 5,000,000. Harm 👏 reduction 👏.

It’s not the case. We had WISC-TV, the CBS affiliate, on channel 3 in our area. I seem to recall that one could switch between channel 2 and channel 3 on the Atari RF modulators, and later, VCRs could switch between channel 3 and channel 4. I think they used 2 and 3 because those were the first two channels, and the FCC wouldn’t allow two adjacent channels in the same area, so one of the two would always be unused for everybody. (Oddly, there was no TV channel 1.)

Look at this guy, bragging about being appreciated, and more than once in a life, too.

On the not-funny side, I went to a city government meeting some years ago where they were debating a development plan that included back-in parking stalls on the street. One of the city alders objected to that on the grounds that people like himself, in late middle-age, no longer have the flexibility to turn around and look behind the vehicle when backing up. This was before widespread back-up cameras in cars, so the implication was that he (and others like him) were just YOLO’ing it backwards out into traffic without looking.

(Even dumber when you realize that one of the advantages of back-in parking is that you don’t need to twist around to look behind when backing into a stall.)
