Talk of Ukraine’s draft dredged up this from the Oligocene and my days as a tadpole. Certainly the earback-dry crowd will remember this, even though I’ve changed the lyrics enough to protect the innocent…and perhaps me from buck-nekkid plagiarism*. Besides, the words and meter are so beautifully...

Ah - all on the same page now, I’d say.

Preprosterous!

Not the best on your CV is “Preprototype Driver”

I didn’t think there was much debate that Vikings or pre-Viking traders founded Kyiv and Rus itself? That by no means determines the dominant genotypes emanate from there, of course.

Let's see whether it does better, worse or the same as a human with what one encounters on the Denali Highway:

I find myself in the amusing position of defending an avowed short-seller. Anyone who has spent any time reading my non-Mod, non-wordplay, non-family posts knows I consider short selling antithetical to the capital markets; that the SEC has acted unforgivably in formally declaring short sellers...

Ten minutes before the bell, and volume is at 6.99MM. The last number I recall from yesterday’s aftermarket was a whopping 62MM shares, but did anyone catch the final number? It all adds up to a reasonably significant repositioning; of course short-covering is going to have been the dominant...

Thank you. I just witnessed for the first time ever our entire extended family, at dinner, simultaneously choke and guffaw. You’re not wholly to blame: I’ll take 50% of that by being the one to recite to them your comment.

The thread is now open.

NOTE TO ALL: I am this close to shutting the thread for an undetermined amount of time, so that ALL have the opportunity to calm down. In a need to catch up after two days, I just had to wade through the most unproductive, vituperative, repetitive, boring and just plain shameful set of posts I...

Get off your high semantic horse. This is supremely tiresome, not the least for its picayunity.

I must have been looking in all the wrong places. Perhaps someone here knows the answer and can tell me if I'm wrong or correct. I do have the advantage here: not just decades of experience first somewhat as an insider, then as a very fascinated outsider, of American foreign policy...AND with a...
