I liken them to cowbirds. Like their avian namesakes, while not brood parasites, they a publicity parasites, pushing aside more worth and notable news so that their true offspring (ego) gets all the attention. A generally useless creature with no known social benefit.
 

“...if you are not really paying attention to how they’re going to pay for it ...”  But we are paying attention! She must have missed the part about income equality and making the rich pay their fare share of taxes. Just the myopia of a selfish twit.

You have not experienced bug bite issues of anything other than being a trifling nuisance until you have lived in rural Alaska. I LOVE the smell of DEET, and not that wimpy 25%, pfft! Nope it’s the full bore 98% for any less But, you dont have to slather it on you for it to be effective. A little on the sides of the…

I worked for Federated Department Stores (Macy’s, Bloomingdales, etc.) food service. Wait staff would be given clothes to wear so they could be walking advertisements, and these were changed out seasonally. Thing is, the staff wasn’t allowed to keep the clothes they had been wearing, they had to turn them in, and…

It’s Gerardo Rivera with a picture of Al Capone.

Um, the Peace Corp was established in 1961 the year after Kennedy was elected.

Always the victim, never responsible for their actions. Revolutions were started for less.

There are other options besides romaine and iceberg, people.

Megyn Kelly still struggling for relevance I see. Her disgust had more to do with Bee having a larger audience than with anything that Bee said.

Wyoming is weird. And I say that as a neighbor - I grew up in Colorado and am moving soon to Montana. Spectacularly beautiful, one has to wonder why Wyoming didn’t grow like Colorado did. Geographically akin, Wyoming has everything that would attract new residents that Colorado does. Just look at Ft. Collins, a…

Aaaaand the freak show goes on. Back in the days of traveling carnivals with their side show freaks, it was the poor and marginalize that were exploited. Jackson, no less a freak than the two headed boy or the bearded lady, at least had an estate. And really, isn’t ABC and all the rest, still just exploiting the…

One of my all time favorite cars. I had one of these little guys when I lived in San Diego, drove it almost weekly down the Baja coast Cheap and fun, it was a great car and if I had the disposable income, this one would be mine. Ah, youth.

Hmmm. Got a little wind down there did you? A mere 70 mph? I guess it’s all what you’re used to. Living here between the Bering Sea and the Pacific Ocean, we get “weather” but unless someone gets blown off a boat or a roof disappears, it just isn’t news. That said, it’s always kind of good when Nature reminds us of…

Yes, that experience is right up there with the first time you hear your mother’s words coming out of your mouth.

They call him Richard because he acts like a dick.

It’s certainly a mental illness when in comes to Limbaugh.

Light weights! Whiners! You think THAT is turbulence? Pffft. Hop aboard a little six seat Cessna 206 or 12 seat Cessna Caribou and take a little jaunt down the Alaska Peninsula. It isn’t bumpy until the pilot starts to cry.

Considering that his wrecking of the EPA will ultimately cause many, many people to sicken and even die, yeah, he’s not a well liked guy, except for the Koch brothers and their ilk, and that’s who he is really working for.

Greed will out. One must necessarily understand, that there is no more a perfect totalitarian system than the corporation.

You might want to rethink that one Andy. While gernerally wild game is safe to eat- mainly because deel, elk, etc. are herbivores, pigs are omnivorous and think nothing of eating road kill or well, anything. The “wild” boar that you find in your high end shop has been raised and is not truly wild. In fact, a more…
