You have to pull it out by the roots. Its tangled everywhere once it takes root. I've done a good job removing it from much of my yard (there's still a good bit left). But I sure wish Trump would start removing it from the Supreme Court. There's too much Ivy in DC.

"...If confirmed, Kavanaugh wouldn’t be the only Supreme Court member to have an all-Ivy higher education. Should he replace Harvard Law grad Anthony Kennedy, all nine Supreme Court justice will continue to be products of either Harvard or Yale Law.

There are two ways to look at this.

First, the highest court in the land, though multifaceted in its gender and religious makeup, has a scholastic diversity problem. Of the 237 law schools in the U.S. (205 of them ABA-approved, 32 not), only two are represented on the Supreme Court....

A second point worth noting: It’s not just the Supreme Court that’s covered in Ivy, but the White House too.

Starting with George H.W. Bush (Yale Class of ’48), the five most recent presidents have earned a combined seven Ivy degrees – George W. Bush (Yale-Harvard) and Barack Obama (Columbia-Harvard) being double-dippers. Yes, this includes Donald Trump, University of Pennsylvania Class of ’68 (apparently, this vexes the southernmost of the Ivy campuses).

Never before has the White House experienced such an Ivy rash. Prior to Bush 41, the last Ivied presidents were John F. Kennedy (Harvard and, briefly, Princeton) and Franklin Roosevelt (Harvard undergrad and a posthumous JD from Columbia)...."

And this is surprising how? Like the Ivy you were pulling the root tangles even extend between the two political parties. There are even interesting tangles between the presidents themselves. Wall Street loves it. There's a lot of Ivy there as well. It's called business as usual. Only it's not your business or mine.

Round up.

Like those water drop tankers out west. Roundup on K St. Roundup on Cap Hill. Roundup on E. Cap St.

Fumigate, re-Roundup, lather, rinse, repeat.

someone bring some rat poison too, there may still be a pedo-desta lurking amongst.

More interesting is that SCOTUS is 100% Catholic and Jewish, 6 Catholics, 3 Jews. Gorsuch goes to an Episcopal church, raised Catholic. He and Kavanaugh went to the same Catholic high school.

I've been complaining about te lack of intellectual diversity on the court for years.

Ivy. Pfft. Closing in on four weeks of shingles.

Damn bro, that's awful. I saw a guy die when I was about 20 and shingles wrapped all the way around my torso. I can clearly remember the pain of both to this day.

Have you guys tried Quadriderm NF? Sometimes doctors for whatever reason don't like to prescribe it. I know the dermatologist I went to didn't and gave me something else. Quadriderm helps my skin problem in a jiff. No harm in trying. Let me know if you did and how it worked.
