The Dutch have a joke, when they meet a German, 'Bring back my father's/grandfather/great grandfather's bicycle.

Retreating in WWII the Germans stole a lot of bicycles. At least in the memory of the Dutch.

Why?

Trump is the president. The military is taught to remain non-political.

An address by the president, even our deranged president, is not the place for military push back

The last two times, I was able to renew online. They sent me a notice and I was eligible to renew online or by mail.

There is evidence. Democrats acted appropriately (in my view) at a time when they risked a Senate seat.

The idea that Democrats will violate our principles to protect Clinton seems like conspiratorial nonsense.

The democrats turned on Al Franken pretty quickly. A powerful and popular current US Senator, based on charges which are less egregious than we see from current Republicans.

Is the West Coast Health Alliance a model for what you are thinking of, or do you have deeper thoughts?

It is talk like a pirate day.

Do you know the Pirate's favorite statistical modeling language?

Sure, a lot of them like R, but pirates have been around a long time, so mostly they use SPSS, it is what they are used to using.

Trump spent a small amount of money to file that case, and the news of it spread widely.

The news of the case being thrown out will not travel as far.

I think this is part of the 'throw shit on everything' strategy.

Trump wins even though the suit was thrown out.

It is the correct phrasing. 'You can't have your cake and eat it' is just obviously wrong.

I like this quote "We design for the board of inquiry before we set the mast. "

There are a couple of other good lines for reflection, like 'start with the leak, not with the sail.'

The story uses a metaphor for AI of an automated canvas on a ship.
