I was in Rosehill Cemetery in Chicago recently. It’s got a lot of Union veterans buried there & has several Civil War memorials to Union soldiers & the Union. At one memorial to an Illinois battalion, it’s bordered by cannon barrels placed vertically in the ground as a border, specifically captured rebel cannon…

You have that backwards. The SRBs came back to the ocean by parachute & were towed back for refurbishment. The large fuel tank was destroyed after use when it reentered the atmosphere. There once was talk of boosting the fuel tank into orbit & somehow using it for parts of a space station, but the huge pressure…

I just read all the comments. Now I know who voted in Scott Walker.

Besides being more boring than soccer, yes that’s possible, golfers are the worst crybabies around. A baseball player has to hit a ball traveling almost 100 MPH while 40,000+ are screaming at him & does it, football players have to catch a ball while another one or two guys are trying to prevent him from catching it,…

Once again, you’re claiming I said something that I never said or implied. But since you brought it up, no, other than the far, far greater numbers of slaves bought & transported, the Trans Atlantic slave trade was very similar to all other slave trade of the previous few thousand years. All slavery is brutal &…

I never said anything like that.

I hope you know that Jews were slaves once. Plus hundreds of thousands were turned into slaves by the Nazis & treated even worse than slaves were ever treated in North or South America.

90% of them are from the suburbs, the way out suburbs & of course, they drove home.

What’s truly terrifying for any Chicagoan is the Cubs winning the World Series.

Just don’t try to see it west of the river. Last year they zoom east on Washington until they got to Wacker.

Yeah, I’m getting water from all the rain going down the downspout. But there would have been 30,000+ Cubs fans if the game hadn’t been cancelled.

I thought she’s a ginger?

I’ve always preferred Allison Stokke.

Because there are a huge number of people who believe that when they delete an email, it disappears forever. They flat out don’t understand that every email server that it passed through & there might be a dozen that might have a copy of it for months if not years!

Actually, it should be “bashing my head into the concrete”. When are people going to learn the difference between the two? ;)

I wonder how much it cost to fix the race.

Ceiling fans don’t do shit for high humidity, like when the dew point is over 70 as it will be from the Gulf all the way north into Wisconsin, Illinois & Michigan much of the summer. That’s why the South was a backwards disaster until the 1960s, when cheap A/C came into being.

You’re an idiot! The fact is that Fahrenheit makes far more sense in measuring human comfort! Zero is the lowest we can easily protect ourselves by wearing heavy clothes & 100 is the highest we can take without dying. Celsius is great for scientific work, but not for general weather reporting.

I can’t wait to watch John Oliver drink Bud Light Lime next Sunday night.

So you’re so religious that your soul is being pinched, not your soles?
