    Tapper always looks like he's just smelled a fart, Songbird.

    Don't forget Golly Gosh Manning also fronted Jared's Subway for a long while.

    Only a true dummy would go back to school for a year to train for a new career without researching beforehand the new career path wouldn't make sense financially. Baron worked hard for the award.

    Oh I see. And here I thought you were taking a selfie and you accidentally posted a picture of your window.

    The career path would have eventually made sense financially had I not received an offer to go back into journalism.

    I could have either gone entry level in the new career and worked my way up, or taken the mid-level journalism job. The journalism job came along first.

    It would have been Hammond of me to accept less pay and worked entry level instead of taking moderate pay and working mid-level.

    I would generally include "right now" as part of "modern history."

    No, Baron, the smart thing to do would be to accept a lower-paid job if it would lead to more money down the road, as you claim. You went the dummy route of taking a short-term gain.

    Other option is you're a just as plain dummy for choosing a second career that paid even less than being a journalist. Hard to tell what type of dummy you are.

    Are you referring to the hiring of Leon Jaworski who then brought Nixon down? I'd say Bork did a damn good job there. Don't know why you're bitching. Well, I do, but it wouldn't be polite to say.

    Take that fucker Perot out and 1992 and '96 are different stories. Clinton never even got 50%.

    Bork was forced to do the hiring by the court. He wouldn't have had to do that if he had refused Nixon's order to fire Cox.

    True. Perot elected Clinton in 92 but all Clinton needed was 5% of Perot's vote in 96 to beat Dole even if Dole got the 95% of The Perot vote. And if Clinton ran in 96 after losing a close race in 92, he would have won big.

    Why should Robert Bork dissuade this president from fulfilling his Constitutional duty of nominating a Supreme Court Justice? It's only happened 24 other times in an election year.

    Let's see, I could have taken a $30K job, worked two years, then taken a $35K job and worked another three years and hopefully move up to a $40-$45K job by now.

    Or, I could take a $45K job and work the past five years.

    Let's see, $165K over five years, or $225K over the past five years. Even subtracting the $6K that the one year of schooling cost (tuition, books, fees, commuting expenses) it's $219K to $165K.

    Yeah, I feel really like I Hammonded-up my decision.
