That name again is

Mr. Plow!🎵

Yep, though to be fair, his bike had toe clips/cages which are notoriously hard to get out of if you’re not used to them. I wonder if that was his main bike, or if he switches sometimes and forgot because of the photo op. Plenty of young people fall because of toe clips and that’s probably why they’re mostly passé.

1)Zero issue with what was spent. Why does it cost so much?

Cognitive dissonance much?

2)Almost zero success.

I disagree, but it’s way too complicated for you and I to hash out here, especially coming at the issue from opposite ends, you as a perhaps general citizen and me as a teacher. Maybe a long hangout at the corner coffee shop would be in order some day.

The Pentagon asked for less. It most certainly IS over-budget. When I say “the military” I mean the Military Industrial Complex, of course. I’m a supporter of our military, of the people actually in it. With a budget greater than the next ten countries combined, the M-I-C is outlandishly frivolous.

Regarding this, but more to the KC schools topic, it seems like your philosophy of budgeting is that only 100% = success, and anything less = failure.

You may revise your opinion after reading the summary and conclusion, but maybe you just figure the liberals at Michigan Law can’t possibly understand all the nuances vs someone watching their local news.

Also, it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Your skimmed analysis of silly twists of numbers belies the full picture, and in my opinion, total desegregation without changing the major obstacles of the systemic segregation of the city’s real estate, was doomed from the start.

BTW, I agree with you that merely throwing money at an issue without cause isn’t correct. One might argue against the ridiculous and constant over-budgeting of the military, for example. In KC, I believe it had many successes, though obviously not a complete realization of the goals (that shouldn’t have needed to be implemented in the first place).

You should look past the Cato Institute’s analysis of the KC schools situation. For example, the summary and conclusion sections of this article from the University of Michigan law school show that the conservative criticisms are based on myth.

I dreamed this several weeks ago:

I was with a couple of people on the street near some parked cars when all of a sudden this comically large, brown and white patched moose kind of…appeared in front of us. My 6-year-old daughter also appeared right next to me, saw the moose, and uttered—in her little girl voice—“God DAMN!”

I woke up laughing my butt off.

Some of them say it exists, but “iT’s JuSt WeAtHeR!”

My religious friend has always said, “What the freak?!” with great enthusiasm and no irony.

“…may be the largest example of fossilised human feces ever found, measuring 20cm (8 in) long and 5cm (2 in) wide! Analysis of the stool has indicated that its producer subsisted largely on meat and bread. It dates back to approximately the 9th century and the person responsible is believed to be a Viking.”

It’s pretty big…I guess.

Happened to me yesterday. Also, you can replace GPS voice with backseat toddler voice.

“Quiet please, Daddy wants to hear his song.”

Over the Edge: Death in Grand Canyon. Maybe it should be required reading—or at least required skimming—for anyone walking around out there. So many dumb-dumbs with cameras trying to get selfies on the edge, or just wanting to look over…

Absolutely! I went up with my dad years ago. No way could he have walked down the mountain.

I swear it wasn’t me. Unless it’s really good. If it’s beloved, then it definitely was me.

Honey badger-saurus don’t care. Repenomamus robustus, indeed!
