What a patriot sounds like: McCain, 2008 RNC: "And, finally, a word to Senator Obama ... you have my respect and my admiration. Despite our differences, much more unites us than divides us. We are fellow Americans, and that's an association that means more to me than any other."
"I fell in love with my country when I was a prisoner in someone else's. I loved it not just for the many comforts of life here. I loved it for its decency, for its faith in the wisdom, justice, and goodness of its people. I loved it because it was not just a place, but an idea."
More from McCain's 2008 RNC speech.
I look forward to spending some time with David Foster Wallace's epic essay on McCain's 2000 campaign again, thanks to the @RollingStone archives. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

Friends, please stop promoting this crap. It's another press stunt from an entities which does them all the time to try to raise money from unsuspecting anti-Trumpers. See, e.g., dailykos.com/stories/2017/6…
I mean, remember this one? Same people.
This is what they do. Stop promoting it. Be discerning readers.

If you want to remember Warren Zevon tonight, the 15y anniversary of his passing, may I recommend the LARRY SANDERS SHOW episode in which he appeared? It shouldn't be on YouTube, but since it is .... this is classic and perfect. Written by Peter Tolan.
If you have only the time for one or two songs, start with "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner," from Zevon's final Letterman appearance.
Next, "Boom Boom Mancini," from Letterman, 1987.

It really bothers me to see REVENGE OF THE NERDS listed at all, let alone as high as 8th, on a list like this. Anyone viewing the film with contemporary eyes should be horrified by it. vulture.com/article/25-bes…
The capsule summary says it's "a satisfying series of fulfilled wishes, the nerds get their, you know, revenge."

It's actually watching the Nerds behaving worse than the jocks: spying on, then selling nude pictures of sorority members. And more. (2/)
Lewis, an alleged hero, rapes a woman by deception -- she only consents to sex with him because he's wearing a Darth Vader mask and she thinks it's her actual boyfriend. (3/)

Whatever happens in #ENG #CRO tonight here are three things I think our political leaders could learn from England’s success and from the wonderful Gareth Southgate (from a liberal lefty) THREAD
1/ We have no need to be afraid of experts.

Gareth Southgate’s approach to management has been a lesson in humility. He has no illusions that England’s illustrious history will work it’s magic. He has gone out and learned from experts worldwide.

telegraph.co.uk/world-cup/2018…
If only our political leaders could see it. May/Johnson/Raab are suspicious of “foreign judges” and bang on about “sovereignty” - but Southgate knows the best way to work in the national interest is to open channels to learn from the best of the world, not close ourselves off.

1. #Qanon told us of "April Showers", and the intel he's dropped so far has been absolutely massive, and continuing now. One anon notes latest #Q is keeping everyone on their toes with many "breadcrumbs" to be "baked". So, here goes.
2. #QAnon reminds us that @POTUS & JFK Jr were close friends. JFK Jr considered seeking seat of retiring Sen. Moynihan in 2000 but was killed in a plane crash (attributed to "an inexperienced pilot"). HRC won the seat in 2000 instead. Q says this was The "Start".
3. "Baking" #QAnon's drop on #JFK Jr further, one source notes that "from the day he saluted his father’s casket til the evening his plane went down John-John had a mission… to expose who orchestrated the “dastardly act” upon his father. #Q

1/ Manu (The progenitor of Humankind)
All different races of Mankind are derived from Manu and Shradha. The current Manu is Vaivasvata Manu.
2/ The word Manu literary means man but it is a title given to the progenitor of mankind. According to Hindu Puranas there are many kalpas (One day of Lord Brahma the creator) and each Kalpa has 14 manvantara and each manvatara has one manu. So basically each Kalpa has 14 Manus.
3/ The current manu of the present manvantara is Shraddhadeva or Vaivasvata Manu of this current Kalpa. He is the son of Vivasvat (Probably Surya) and is therefore also known as Manu-vaivasvata.
