  1. To me the issue is the best approach to the campaign from now on. What is the path to win? Positive wins. Negative doesn't. That's mostly it, to me anyway.
  2. "Illegally obtained" evidence can often be used in criminal prosecutions, as long as the 'obtainer' is not working on behalf of law enforcement, indirectly or othewise, and has no law enforcement connection. The 'exclusionary rule' is directed to the actions of official law enforcement.
  3. The important thing is to win the election. Name calling won't work. I hope we can come up with a different strategy.
  4. Then there's 'not-buying pleasure.' When after long work life you have some extra money, and can look at good stuff and think, I could write a check for that right now. But you don't. You don't really want it anymore, or whatever. It's a nice feeling.
  5. A great one. And puts me in mind of the great breakout run that won the US women's Rugby 7s the bronze medal a few days ago in Paris: Alex Sedrick ERUPTS on final play for Team USA women's rugby history | Paris Olympics | NBC Sports (youtube.com)
  6. Fresh caught and boiled Dungeness crab.
  7. Could be, but on the other hand, perhaps not. I know two guys who came close to drowning in adulthood. But they still went around water, just more carefully.
  8. Plus many other sporting goods, including bicycles, campstoves, and much else. Braniff Airlines.
  9. And Fred MacMurray played a lot of villains before My Three Sons and various Disney movies. Similar to Lesley Nielson, a movie heavy before the comedies...
  10. I think that Leonard's stories were made into more movies and TV shows than anyone else's, except maybe Shakespeare"s. Around 25. Probably because he wrote both great Westerns and crime stories. A few: The Tall T; Joe Kidd, 3:10 to Yuma (two movies), Hombre, Valdez is Coming, Last Stand at Saber River, Mr. Majestic, Get Shorty, Be Cool, Jackie Brown [Rum Punch], 52 Pick Up, and several others, including Justified, as JBar said. Amazingly productive man.
  11. And like Hombre, The Tall T was an Elmore Leonard story (published as The Captive).....
  12. Boone a great villain also in The Tall T, one of the Budd Boetticher movies with Randolph Scott.
  13. Reminds me of my favorite Dorothy Parker quip; "I love a good martini, two at the very most. Three, I'm under the table; four, I'm under the host."
  14. I've been curious about the accuracy (as to which I'm ignorant). Why were they not able to put shells directly into the pillboxes at the Normandy invasion? Or were they?
  15. Good to see these two have brought a lot of attention to the shooting sports.
  16. A well-known bit of local history here. At least it used to be....
  17. Since it was used to shoot the former President, I suppos that requests may have been expedited at all levels.
  18. The oath is good for the trial, but often the judge will remind the witness that he's still under oath if there has been some time between the examinations. This is for the jury's benefit as well as the witnesses. As for "I remind you that you are under oath"-- I may have heard this a time or two over the decades but very, very rarely. It would make the examining lawyer look foolish in my opinion.
  19. I've never needed a password to come to this site. If I have one, I have no idea what it is.
