Realistic, or not? Read the author's reasoning. Discuss, please. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's Not November 2024 [...] Let's venture that next year’s elections are held (yes, you read that right). The results, either way, will inevitably be disputed -- and not civilly, not if Democrats manage to lose.

"Isn't $900 rather steep?" asked the man. "I don't think so," said the attorney, again without looking up. "And what is your third question?"

And you thought that we'd forgotten our Wednesday Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke: ============================================================= THE BLONDE GAMBLER A blonde approached a soda machine outside a local store. After she inserted 75 cents and pushed a button, a root beer popped out of the machine. She set it on the ground, put 75 more cents into the machine, and pushed another button. A Coke came out of the machine. She continued to do this until a man waiting to use the machine became impatient. "Excuse me!" he said. "Can I get my soda, and then you go back to whatever stupid thing you're doing?" The blonde turned around and said, "Yeah, right! I'm not giving up this machine while I'm still winning!"
