T/85; about an hour ago your mayor was interviewed on Fox BizNews (coulda been taped earlier but not much earlier) and nearly knocked me off my chair. Speaking quietly and very intensely, on the proximate topic of the state of California having just levied another 75 (or 175) million out of the city’s coffers on some ad hoc emergency measure, he said the state was ‘no longer repairable’, that the entire political situation was ‘not capable of resolution’ and that what is coming is ‘a reboot of the entire California structure’. he said more but you get the gist. this was no pol talking his book –everything about it was different. His mien, i think is the word, was totally flat and very very grim.

marymcl,
“density of commenters in a given area ”

Just curious, which area has the densest commenters?

Congrats, Leo!
Happy birthday, Walt

I have been reading the Belmont Club for about two years. It has been like being in a graduate seminar on a multitude of subjects. The erudition, wisdom, humor and wit I’m privileged to read each day makes me feel enlighted, edified. Some day I may have the wisdom and experience to contribute more. In the meantime I will absorb and learn from all of you.

From a Cuban American criminal defense investigator in San Jose California, thank you all.

I am surprised that I got no votes, even though this is my first post in five years of reading BC. Some of my posts might have been great!! Kidding.

You all have me out classed by, as some say here, “an order of magnitude”. (Is that like lots and lots of gratitude or attitude, I am not sure.)
Its always a good read. Thanks to all.

GP & bl,

I’ve watched my kids trading Pokiman cards before and that sir is No “Gible”.

Of course on HMS, would that be nog-able or grog-able.

Either way gible is no fun, and just mean when drunk.

Yeah, that’s right buddy, it gives me an idea: now I’m tempted to pay my taxes in ‘carbon credits’, if you know what I mean.

@69 Wadeusaf

Actually that map doesn’t show BC’s commenters, just some other blogs that he links with. A map showing the commenters would have lots more balloons – possibly too many to make sense of in some places!

I’ve seen maps that show the density of commenters in a given area with red circles of varying size but they don’t identify anyone
