I heard this on NBC Nightly News. They didn't state a specific time, just said that it was at night.

I share the outrage. The US should hold all aid to Israel unless an election within 60 days is announced, and also the US should let it be known that if they re-elect BN, not to expect any more aid. The only concession I would give the IDF is that the convoy, while clearly marked, was, as I understand it, moving at night. I'm not sure how necessary it was to have the convoy move at night. That being said, this is not a sufficient excuse. Enough is enough.

About a month ago, I wrote about the wedding planner who had a strict "Don't call me, I'll call you" policy, in which she wouldn't answer the phone at any time under any circumstances. A couple of weeks ago, I received a letter from an insurance carrier (Liberty Mutual), where they explained they were no longer offering Umbrella Coverage in California, so I needed to find a new policy. The letter suggested I call my insurance agent, which I did (he didn't reach out to me himself). I called his office (which has multiple agents), and left a voice mail on the Monday of last week, requesting we discuss the matter. When I hadn't heard from him by Friday, I called another insurance agent, who called me the next business day (Monday, 3 days ago). He found a new policy for me. The original agent (with whom I still have auto insurance) finally called back on Tuesday, more than a week after I left him a message, saying he hadn't answered my VM because he was on vacation. There was nothing on his outgoing message about his being out. I feel pretty miffed about the original agent's treatment. I felt there were multiple options with which he could have availed himself prior to taking off on vacation. (1) He could have requested colleagues check his VM while he was gone, (2) He could have checked his messages once a day himself, or, most simply, (3) He could have changed the outgoing message prior to leaving stating something on the lines of "I'll be out of town until April 1st, and will not be checking my messages before then. If there are any urgent matters, please call my colleague Fred Smith at extension 123 for assistance." Is it just me, or was he being rude and inconsiderate? Before I retired, I always had to make arrangements for coverage before I went on vacation. We all took turns covering for each other. How are things where you are? Is the new standard for business now "It's your good fortune if we decide to assist you!"? Although the new agent didn't suggest it, I'm thinking of asking him to change my auto policy to a new company just to send a message. Or am I just "not with the times"?

The man with the cap doesn't have a typical underwear model build--a bit of a paunch. I'm not into public sex myself. I prefer privacy.

Who needs a death penalty when you can just murder in cold blood...

Of course, Macron himself ain't anything to sneeze at, either:

It's such a tragic waste for a handsome man to be straight. Women care little about a man's good looks. They're far more concerned with how successful he is. I remember some years back hiring an exceptionally handsome bi man. When he went to gay bars, he said that men immediately flocked to him like bees to honey. When he went into straight bars, he'd have to make a move on the women, then one of the first things they'd ask him was what he did for a living (they'd take off if they didn't like the answer). Of course, a man who's both handsome and successful can have his pick of either sex. But there's little advantage for a straight man to be handsome. So sad for a handsome man to be straight. 😭

What is that supposed to mean?

My mother used to say to avoid motorcycles unless I wanted my legacy to be that of an organ donor. You may be a great driver, but can't control all of the assholes who are out there on the road.

Well, the police at the vehicle where she was being held certainly didn't intervene while the accused was being brutally murdered.

Oh, I get it now. Jane Lynch....

The Weakest Link?

https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Culture/chance-perdomo-actor-gen-v-dies-27/story?id=108691062 "Chance Perdomo, star of "Gen V," has died after a motorcycle accident, his family and representatives announced. The actor was 27 years old. No other individuals were involved in the accident, according to the statement, released Saturday...". 😭

I feel a song coming on...

I was thinking of the Bible story in which Jesus is purported to have said "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." And I think most people would consider murder a sin.

My fiance and I just watched the Austrian movie Eismayer, a true story about a recruit who falls in love with a far older (and bald) Sergeant Major. The gorgeous recruit actually proposes to the NCO. As it turns out, the recruit (before marrying him) gets accepted for officer school. I presume at this point the younger man is earning more. Quite an amazing story. Both the actual younger soldier (now presumably a 2nd lieutenant) and the actor playing him are gorgeous. As you might guess, the real soldiers are in uniform, actors on the other side: According to those uniforms, their ranks are now Warrant Officer I for the older Falak-Eismayer, and Officer Cadet for the younger (Mario) Falak-Eismayer. I guess love doesn't know age, rank, or amount of hair. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_ranks_of_Austria

A female kidnapping suspect was dragged out of a police vehicle and murdered on Good Friday. Just like Jesus would have done... 🙄 https://ca.news.yahoo.com/mob-mexico-brutally-beats-suspected-004119620.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAGZIABlplDYESXaq89rFYV4lkDptKUU62rpiCXWFtrhVh4ngfzYweADMVba-dxj75fbcN4JWQ-BkpPlvPTZLMvJQb-O9bWHlxJzDYkoX8BAyjnYljanszVZDnx66Ltu51pdhWq1tf0rrCayVwVVF3PJioGtLdObGQceq39f22rAd

Yikes! Your first post was ambiguous. When I read that the wage was increasing to 400 Baht, I thought it meant per hour, which seemed generous enough for a 4* hotel employee (who, presumably, has to have certain proficiencies and a history of success at less luxurious hotels). I realize that costs of living are different, but I'm almost embarrassed to tell you that unskilled fast-food workers in California earn almost twice that per hour at a minimum! 😳 https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/Fast-Food-Minimum-Wage-FAQ.htm Amazingly, despite this generous salary for unskilled workers, some fast food places still request "tips" despite the absence of waiters. I decline these requests.

As usual, your dumb-ass argument points to the exact opposite of what you allege. First of all, the article is over 4 years old, from the time of the Trump administration, years before Putin's case came up to the ICC. This article, which you yourself posted, only documents the hostile relationship between the ICC and the US (at least at the time of the Trump administration), and the US's lack of influence on this body: "...The actions of the American administration against the ICC this summer were not supported by any other Western country or US ally except Israel... The decision to escalate sanctions against the ICC is the latest in a series of radical steps taken by the Trump administration on foreign policy that have left it isolated on the international stage...". So not only is your propaganda piece outdated and not related to Putin's case, but it documents the US's lack of influence on the body. Utterly pathetic. And, by the way, the ICC's verdicts, by definition, cannot be "illegal." Russia may not like them, or recognize their sovereignty (to be fair, the US doesn't recognize ICC sovereignty either), but they can't be "illegal."

Yes, I think those are leaves from the cocaine plant around his neck...
