The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

But he has challengers for the honor of being the world’s most flagrant liar.

It would be easier to list the truth tellers in DC. Last weekend: one report says Vance says negotiations are going well. Another report says Trump is threatening Iran with total destruction. Another report says the Iranian delegation walked out on the talks, because of Trump's threat. Another report said Vance had landed back in the US, and said the talks were going well. Then the media reports Iran has promised to abandon nukes. Another report says Iran said it had made no new commitments, which would be technically true, as they promised to abandon nukes ten years ago, so that would not be a "new" commitment if they repeated what they had already committed to.

We mere Proles are like the guy in a TV game show, standing in a phone booth, with a fan blowing dozens of slips of paper around in the booth, and one of the slips is a coupon for a new car. Which "report" to believe?
