   Portuguese trains suck ass, and Lisbon’s Oriente station is a reeking, suicide-inducing shithole. Sitting in first class, on my way to Porto, and if this is first class I can only assume economy has goats wandering the aisle.

   @Michael Reynolds:

   …economy has goats wandering the aisle.

   At least they’d pick up the trash.

    @charontwo: You could call what the Ukranians are doing a testimonial to the value of patience and determination, as well as flexible creative thinking.

    I’m sure, though, that as soon as I do, someone will pop up to tell me assuredly it’s no such thing and patience is for betas.

    @gVOR10:

    Loomis several times admits that Greenspan did the right thing at the time, which does not prevent him from making multiple below the belt comments about how evil Greenspan was.
