Scheduled Ascension of the Demagogue

This year, the US Election is on November 8, 2016.

According to the French Revolutionary calendar, this date is 18 Brumaire, CCXXV.

18 Brumaire is the date on which the Consulate supplanted the Directory, in the Coup of 18 Brumaire. The Consulate marked the ascension to executive power of a certain well known French general.

A man outside of the traditional power structure who found success in translating his existing abilities into political power. His rise to power marks a sea change in the political landscape and a national shift from republicanism to imperialism.

These paint schemes are a riot.

(The one person Stonewall's Strikers is not for: the mech tech who only paints with a single color.)

Can you beat the Egyptian Ordeal with Medjedra, without SR Osiris?Help!

Title. I don't have Osiris in any form but I have Medjedra. His leader skill is pants by himself. Can it be done?

Why would I stop reading SquirrelClamp?

I don't care much about the substance abuse, but I am concerned about the recovering alcoholic self-harming cartoonist writing substance abuse as a key to social interaction.

Congratulations on Eagle.

I like the idea of the tangle, but your nook will be an interior space.

The fisheye lens could be inside, waiting for a new recording cartridge.

Letters and notes on leaves.

I want a long bellrope, but it wouldn't make a lot of sense to have it descend into a personal study.

Good luck! Please post the finished product.

I can never get a paint job I like for Stealth armor. Great job.

"Hey Jim Bob, when we go do our White Lives Matter thing, can we do it out on Route 42 by the Interstate?"

"That sounds great, lots of traffic, folks will see our message."

"Yeah. And let's do it on the north side of the road."

"...okay? Why?"

"I just think it'll be a good spot for, you know, the message."

"...goddammit Casey, you just want to go to Panda Express afterward, don't you?"

Not an answer but context: most Americans do not leave the US in their lifetimes. The answer to the question "where are you from" is almost always regional/specific because it will almost always be asked by other Americans.

Usually I see those SEPTA signs and announcements about how you can't smoke, shouldn't smoke, don't you dare smoke. I don't smoke so it doesn't affect me. But this week, I'm waiting an extra long time in 15th St station for the El, and it stinks like piss, and I hate it... And the dude next to me lights up a Black & Mild. God bless that dude. The smell of pipe tobacco is way preferable to the smell of old piss.

You probably should still avoid smoking on SEPTA, but when it smells like piss you may be performing a public service.

When I've traded-in, I kept my phone until the new one arrived. Then, shipped the old phone back after swapping sim cards. I was not left phoneless at any point.

The bride's Mennonite cousin attacked the sound guy for playing "Pussy Control" by Prince.

If you're up in Chestnut Hill, Baker Street Bread has decent ones.

I feel you, but understand this is tactical. Management wants you to have this response.

The time you spend directing spite at your fellow workers is time you could spend organizing for better work conditions.

In four short years he met his every goal

He seized the whole southwest from Mexico

Made sure the tariffs fell

And made the English sell

The Oregon Territory

He built an independent treasury

Having done all this he sought no second term

But precious few have mourned the passing of

Mr. James K. Polk our eleventh President

Young Hickory, Napoleon of the stump

Where is Lagavulin useful in the booze event?Help!

I have a copy of Lagavulin, an evolved copy, and no idea where I'm supposed to apply him to get the hidden reward.

Yesterday, April 29th Monday, I experienced a 30 minute delay on the MFL westbound at 8 am, from 11th St. It's disappointing to see successive days with similar delays.
