Here's the full-circle scam

Ultra-wealthy PE's and bankers buy politicians who promise not to tax them

Politicians instead borrow from pension funds to pay for public infrastructure

Pension funds go insolvent and get stuck yield-chasing

Pension funds have to invest in funds managed by said PE's

I don't maintain the blog anymore, but if you're curious, here's the post:

sense memory tells me that it was frighteningly close to "Circus peanut" flavored... Which is not something a brain with a sensible "danger, this is poison" trigger should accept from a cased meat product - no matter how much pig anus was involved in its conjuring

Unfortunately, any unsold as segments will be filled with experts from the Stallone film of the same name. Ensuring the Exodus of any viewership.

I still have a bottle.... There's nothing left in the bottle, mind you, but sometimes I look longingly at it and reminisce... (And then my brain remembers that I also once ate Joos-e-que bratwurst)

Or, you know, just mimicing the gatefold of the original Broadway cast album of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Cats!"

And I think Costner was attempting an accent throughout the movie, it just didn't really work. Lol

We watched Prince of Thieves with our 11yo last night almost solely so that we could watch Men in Tights next weekend and they would get the "Unlike some other robin hoods, I can speak with an English accent" joke.

- that said, PoT was WAY more campy than my memory served.

While I won't go as far to say redeemed, the George Lucas Talk Show love readings have brought insurmountable joy to the prequels for me
