Proud to say, I took a Keisha on a couple of dates. Luckily for both of us, she saw I was not ready for her pure awesomeness and ditched me. (I was way less than a functional adult at the time, so good on her.)

Anti-expertise and anti-intelligence have a nice long track record in the American social fabric. Surest way to make an American NOT do something is to say, “All the experts say we should ...” Really doesn’t matter what comes after that. You will find huge numbers of us who run the other way. And now with all the…

A coward is much more likely to actually pull the trigger in a confrontation.

I can not understand how his supporters continue to claim - and seem to actually believe - he’s not a racist. Tim Ryan, the whitest, most non-woke person to ever hold office was asked about one of Trump’s comments way back when Trump will still campaigning in 2016. And Tim ‘F-n’ Ryan said, “It’s a textbook racist…

You have to admit, it’s pretty unfair of us all to use the actual meanings of her words rather than the meanings she tell us we should have of them. Yeesh!. That woman’s going through some pretty strenuous mental gymnastics.

This is actually sad. All of these encounters seem to me like people who keep missing genuine opportunities. This woman could have simply said, “Hi! Whatca’ doin’?” over the fence. Her neighbors could have shared their excitement at making an improvement to their property. She could have shared in that enthusiasm. It…

Thank you mary. You have actually identified the essence of American civil liberty. Mind your own business! Worry about your own self and let others worry about themselves. Not really that hard. If someone else’s liberty starts to bump into yours, you sort it out through the various systems and processes of the civil…

MONEY.  If you have enough it lets you get away with being your worst possible self.

Once had a hot .45 pistol shell casing fly out of the chamber, above my head and right down between my eye and the goggles I had on. I only just had the presence of mind to put the gun down before trying to get at it. I’m right-handed so if I hadn’t slowed myself down just a bit, I could have reached up to get it, gun…

Here’s the simple point. Putting something on your flag is a way to celebrate that thing. The confederate flag stood for the right to rebel against the government. Because the government said it was wrong for us to actually own other human beings. So the argument from the governor is entirely beside the point. No one…

I think what you describe is the way to go, but with the level of partisanship currently in the air here in the US, there’s no way either side would trust the other enough to make it happen. I hope my vision is not too grim but imagine trying to get Mitch McConnell and Nancy Peolsi to agree on what counted as a…

Wherever it comes from, the rolling pin in the article’s main photo looks like it would come in much handier if the shit went down in the kitchen. I’d take that over the fatter, US standard model. Better reach and serious velocity of the business end. You could even two-hand that bad boy. P.S. The woman on the lefts…

So if Trump takes a pause when he’s finally on the debate stage with Biden, should Biden say, “Hold on a second everyone. He’s having a bit of trouble. Someone please get him a glass of water.”

Well, when you’ve seen the show before, and you’re starting to really notice the puppet strings, and you’re, you know, a bit older now ...  You just have to expect that little nap when the energy dips a bit.

Even better, is looking at the demeanor of the people as they were leaving the event. In the past his rallies always ended with video of people cheering, chanting, ‘waving their support at the cameras,’ and reading like acts of defiance - against the very media they ‘flexed’ before. The shots of them leaving this time…

My personal favorite is how glum the people in the stands actually look. They can and will say whatever about their moment in the sun, basking in Trump’s golden rays, but there’s that little corner of consciousness that knows it was pathetic.  They felt it, and the feeling wrote itself on their faces.

Sure.  About the same way David Koresh “discovered” Waco, Texas.

I know. I was channeling.

That sounds right to me. I remember my mom saying something similar when the ERA debate was still going hot and heavy - yes I am old. She’d say, “I don’t really need your respect. I will settle for equal pay.”
