  • I am friends with the doctor in this article - I have been fishing with him dozens of times and he visits my parents often.

    The fucking iguanas are the worst down there. They’ve destroyed so many of the local flowering plants. Moreover, there are things called curly-tailed lizards that have been eating all of the scorpions which were a primary food source for local owls… All this because assholes in Miami thought it was cool to have a strange lizard or some parent felt like exposing their their child to something new and interesting but didn’t understand the implications of importing a snake from a different part of the world.

    All of this shit is idiotic. Tomorrow I fly home from Seattle to the Florida Keys via Miami. One of our yearly post-thanksgiving pass-times is to pop iguanas with a high powered pellet gun. Wish me luck.

    Liberals hadn’t attended to the working class and their kitchen table issues since LBJ’s Great Society, except for ACA of Obama. They abandoned the Labor side in the Labor vs. Capital struggle.

    This was a tactic by Obama to try and appease the GOP by copying Romney’s healthcare plan. The ACA barely makes the grade when it comes to proper healthcare.


  • I’m in Mexico right now. Have been here a month. My longtime Mexican girlfriend hates Trump, but thinks his intervention would be a good thing. I vehemently disagree with her on this.

    Narcos are a super complicated part of the society. They fight, kill, are criminals, but also keep many cities safe through strict control.

    Acapulco is an example a once safe place gone to shit after the hurricanes destroyed it and Narco control was abandoned. It’s now dangerous as hell. You can often see human remains on the streets.

    If someone came in and “eliminated” cartels, there would only be a power vacuum and more violence and dangerous conditions would emerge.

    This is not the right answer.
