Push from Saudis, Israel helped move Trump to attack Iran President Trump launched a wide-ranging attack on Iran after weeks-long lobbying by an unusual pair of U.S. allies in the Middle East: Israel and Saudi Arabia.

The analogy I think of is the Robin Williams bit of two brothers on the roof of their house, the younger one holding an umbrella while the older one goes, "You can do it, Billy! You can fly!"

In the Trump adminstration, life. like a celebratory dinner for the US Olympic Men's Hockey Team, is cheap.

I do think they're treasures, in that they should both be locked in a chest and buried on a desert island.

Joke. That's a joke.

I'm not unsympathetic to what you're saying, BUT...

The records I get include scales & tables with interpretations, so with careful reading you get an idea where your status falls. It's better knowing more than not.

But YES, don't take it too much to heart until your doctor gives their opinion.

This administration is run by amateurs.

Anybody know: Is TCM a loss-leader? Do they actually make money off of books, wine, a film festival and a movie cruise?

I'd like to propose a new genre: SoCalidelica.

It's works from the Sixties and early Seventies that are about the artist's experiences in Los Angeles, particularly with the music biz.

Examples: BLUE JAY WAY; RANDY SCOUSE GIT; HEAD; A SCANNER DARKLY.
