    I guarantee they will show New Zealand's next game. Because, it's against England. And, it should be the match of the tournament.

    You would not care even if the hypothetical Republican president who had sex with the intern had already been credibly accused of rape and sexual harassment by several other women?

    Have you ever had a job other than school teacher?

    Interns are there for the summer, then they're gone. If I had ever boinked one of my interns, it wouldn't have been abuse of power. What the hell power did I have? It's by definition a temporary gig!

    If the intern isn't complaining, then I'm not either. Mind you, that guy should never have become President, but that's a separate issue.

    Right. Somewhat equivalent would be if this year Brett Cavanaugh - after all his previous sexual accusations, denied under oath having sex with an intern and then it turned out to be true. I think people would care, and the level of caring would predictably break along ideological lines, just as it happened with Bill Clinton.

    Granted, there is a difference between a president and a Supreme Court judge, but either way I don't think it's something that could be ignored, regardless of whether we liked or hated the job the man did as president or as judge.

    I don't care who is having sex with who, so long as it's consensual and everyone is of age. If someone says they were raped, I would want that thoroughly investigated. If not, who gives a shit who on Capitol Hill is banging who? Ain't none of my business.

    America already wasn't respected much in the Middle East - and in Latin America and much of the world - and arguably much of it was deserved. But sadly the Trump years have brought us to a new level of disrespect that, regardless of what the US does post-Trump, it will take a very long time to reverse.

    That's my belief, too. However, it's fair to say that I overstated the percentage of people who share that view. So I retract my earlier comment and cede this issue to stanger. If a Republican President had consensual sex with an intern, many Democrats would complain. Stanger is correct and I was not.

    Of all the Republican Party's frauds, presenting itself as the True Guardian of the Constitution might have been its greatest.

    That is true. Both coming to their peak at the right time. I have strong feelings for both teams. Engerlish and Kiwi. I have to be careful of how I speak to my daughters and son in law's, The Kiwi side.

    But.... That's no guarantee that TV won't sent it to streaming for extra cash.

    I like watching the Los Pumas with their flair.

    My guess would be that in a hot, dry place, the dark paint fades.

    Because Syria is already hot enough without having to step into a black car that's been baking in the sun all day.

    I read something somewhere suggestng that there are more cars painted white than any other color. When you think of the sheer number of company or municipal vehicles and trucks and whatnot that use graphics on the doors, there may be something to it.

    These folks say it's silver, but also that silver, white and black make up > 50% of all colors.

    Various shades of metallic grey work well for a really nice car where you don't want the paint to scream, "Look at me!". Black does the same thing, but it needs to be taken back from metalheads and goths.
