      Disappointed that it’s necessary to do.

      But when you’re forced to deal with a toddler carrying a live grenade, like it or not, you have to make some soothing noises once in a while.

        Believing you can control that baby doesn’t solve the situation… the baby will keep getting more and more aggressive.

          It’s not about controlling him, it’s about keeping him pacified and distracted while you work on other things that get you out of the same room as him.

            But you won’t. Nobody will, because the more you try to get away, the more the baby growing in size.

      do we really want to piss of the 600lb gorilla that is next door? I agree with you, but there is limits to how much we can poke the gorilla.

      I like carney to some degree (as in more than PP) but he was always going for the neoliberal status quo angle.

      He’s a banker, his strategy of dealing with rich spoiled people is probably just appeasement.
