    An anecdotal anti-belter. I'll wager you still have a school desk to hunker under.

    Well carried. Now where is the data showing you didn't need a seatbelt?
  3. I've have had it. No more half measures for me. I intend to deplore it.
  4. O.K, now this inflation shit isn't funny. I just got dinged for a 15% rise on my Pinot futures. Somebody needs to do something, goddamnit!
  5. That's hilarious of you, again. You are apparently unaware that you are aware that innocent behaviors and words may change their meanings over time; Staying current and inoffensive to others might mean that we must also change. You are finally waking up.
  6. Not really. Bats have few natural predators. Hence, nature provides diseases like white nose syndrome to control populations. Maybe more wind turbines equals less disease over time. In any case each wind turbine is killing +/- 10 bats per year. Science should be able to sort that out long before we run out of tree bats.
  7. Well, I'll be dipped in doo-doo and rolled in crumbles, you do have a sense of humor.
  8. Starting with the problem of there being no actual Libertarians.
  9. I get it. You're torqued because you won't be able to make your famous Aunt Jemima pancakes with a dollop of Land O' Lakes butter. Of course, any serious breakfast cooker would top off such a fine repast with a slosh of Mrs. Butterworth's syrup, but poured only from a mammy bottle.
  10. Little early to be writing an epitath.
  11. Squaw. You sadly don't realize that's an ethnic slur.
  12. I know I have issues, that's certain. And I'm already smiling so you win.
  13. What pool and whose pee? My understanding is that free shit remains wildly popular amongst just about everyone except the chattering class.
  14. And stop there, too. Pelosi and others did a work around members of their own party to get something done. That isn't laudable? For certain it in no way equates to the Grim Reaper. Surely I'm missing your actual point. (Oh, and you can relax, I found a firing pin for my BRNO RV85 Launcher. You wouldn't have any 28.5mm armor piercing tear gas rounds laying around, would you?)
  15. Somedays the face of Jesus is found in every grilled cheese sandwich.
  16. I would posit that numbers 1 and 2 are more applicable to current Republican politicians than Democrats.
  17. Yep, some bipartisanship would be nice. I guess Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R) of New York gave it a go by voting for the infrastructure bill if only, by her admission, to "own" AOC and make the Squad ineffectual. Slightly less nuanced is the guy at the highway intersection down the street with the giant FUCK BIDEN flag. I'd just like to know what gives anyone hope the Republicans will ever again be honest brokers. We're now one year since Trump lost in a fair election and Republican obstructionists and enablers in the House and Senate still refuse to make statements of truth that might help heal the growing divide in our country. Worse, they see enormous political value in a divided United States. Unbelievably, talk of further insurrection and even civil war is, and for good reason, being taken seriously and that is not because Democrats want it. Sure, the economic and social policies of the Democrats are often ill formed and, for many, downright offensive. However, if you'll just give us enough time we'll fight amongst ourselves until we have no tail feathers so no worries there. The thing is, there is not a Democratic Mitch McConnell or Marjory Greene, not a comprehensive list by dozens, doing their level best to avoid any semblance of bipartisanship. Sometimes step one is identifying what is causing the actual problem.
  18. Great piece. Thank you. But honestly, I despair anymore of trying to change crazy minds. I also think that until misinformation can be demonitized by regulation, unlikely in a free speech society, for reallsie fact checking on social media is just wishful thinking. Like it or not we are not becoming the mutually respectful heterogeneous society we (well at least me) were hoping was the future. I'm thinking we have an insurmountable communication problem: some of us are reading "Sometimes a Great Notion" and too many others are reading "Never Give an Inch". I am not hopeful.
  19. In an embarrassing snub to Brent Hutchings, and his Progressive Caucus friends, and with a bi-partisan vote the House advanced President Biden's agenda to improve the quality of life for all Americans. So far there has been no comment from Ilhan Omar, AOC, Brent Hutchings, Cori Bush, or Jamaal Brown.
  20. Yep. Wokey Jokey will supplant yesterdays Death Panels and Fauci Ouchies. I can not deny it's a winning strategy with the Republican base. You must be thrilled.
  21. Nobody? You might want to check your news feed.
  22. No cards are hard to play when you deal from the bottom of the deck.
  23. Do you operate out of a basement?

    The CDC Definitions of Vaccine and Vaccination since September 1, 2021: Apparently, prior to the over the top, insane resistance to the vaccine and widespread forced study of how vaccines actually work no one previously noticed the imprecision in the description. So they fixed it. Good deal.
