Investment tip: buy every share of Wite-Out you can get your hands on.

Okay, it's a product of the BIC Corporation, so you can't really buy shares of Wite-Out. But I predict that sales will be skyrocketing, due to things like this:

Pompeo says Trump administration 'never trusted the Taliban'

BY CAROLINE VAKIL - 08/15/21 10:16 AM EDT

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Sunday that the Trump administration "never trusted to Taliban" despite its efforts to negotiate its own withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.

On "Fox News Sunday," host Chris Wallace asked Pompeo if there were any regrets about giving the Taliban legitimacy and agreeing to release prisoners believed to be back fighting with the Taliban. The group has overtaken a bulk of Afghanistan over the past few days, culminating in the near collapse of the capital of Kabul on Sunday and the evacuation of the U.S. Embassy.

along with necklaces when I was a Girl Scout.

They still sell it but don't really call it "gimp" much anymore, instead calling it "plastic lacing".

iirc, he was the most serious musician of the bunch already.
he went on to make a whole lot more music after.

He learned in grade school. He wasn't great at it, or anything close, but they didn't cast him as the drummer because they wanted the cute one out front.
Mike was actually an OK guitar player, but didn't play any of the famous licks.
Louie Shelton played the guitar on Valerie & Last Train To Clarksville. He was a well respected session dude.
Tommy Tedesco played some of their guitar parts, too. Tommy became Mike's "intermediate guitar" mentor.
His guitar is actually on many of the songs, but the famous licks aren't him.

people have archived their tweets and and blog posts, speeches, news articles posted, photos, etc. Trump admin will say fake news and deny it all anyway.
