one & only - he has written here & comments occasionally.

A minor quibble: There were many pieces to the Dixicraps leaving the Democratic Party but the final act was during the 1948 Convention when the Mayor Of Minneapolis, Hubert H. Humphrey gave a very moving speech in support of the minority report in favor of a civil rights plank. It was more than the old bastards could…

I am old enough to have watched the 1968 national conventions on TV. There are many lasting memories. One from the RNC was a black man who was a delegate from one of the slave states (I forget which) he was in tears because he had been called names, spit on & told to get out by other Republicans. He had no political…

I understand several of Mussolini’s staff were deeply conflicted about working for him and often considered quitting. That means they can’t be held responsible for what happened, right?

Mental illness or drugs? Alternatively, nobody ever telling her no for so long she now assumes she is a god?

Great recipe!

A lot of principals are authoritarian dickheads. Several years ago I was in a small town in Louisiana buying lunch. A young man & his mom came in to talk about the kid not being allowed to graduate. He was the class valedictorian and had a full ride to an ivy. The previous night was the Senior party 7 the principal…

Yet another player with potential the MN Twins screwed up. He needed another year or two in the minors to learn how to hit but the dog-ass Twins needed to generate some excitement about their shitty club. They repeated the mistake with Byron Buxton. Incredible speed, like Gomez he could own a lot of the outfield, but…

I his book On a Clear Day You Can See GM Delorian relates a story about taking charge of Pontiac. He was horrified at the overhead they had in parts. IIRC he used oil pans as an example. They had enough oil pans of each type to build every car projected with just that one type of pan. When he questioned why he was…

Man I would love to sand that smug look off her face. I’m an old white guy and I really do not understand WTF is going on in this world anymore. We should be happy a kid is trying to make a couple of bucks, not hurting anyone, offering a service some people would appreciate.  WT ever-lovin F?

JAY-Zeus, I just googled the boy & he is whiter than Trump, whiter than Pat Boone.

Bill then ordered some motherfuckin ice tea in solidarity with all his brothas

NEVER cook with something you would not drink. If you like that metallic off taste of litebeer go for it but don’t expect great results. Might just as well get that $2 cooking sherry from the grocery store too while you are at it.

We brought our kids to lots of different restaurants, most of the ‘nice’ places. They learned at an early age that they were not allowed to run around or make a ruckus. We brought things with to keep them occupied when they were really little but they learned manners and how to enjoy good food.

I have not seen a picture of the gentleman in question but I bet $20 he can ‘pass’. He is the type that would gladly lay the whip on heavy for massa.

Now if he would only have bragged about raping his wife . . . what that? Oh, he did . . . well then he is perfect for the Trump era.

I should have said “at first”

I was a security consultant for 20 years before taking up with a gov agency. I can assure you that the problems they have exist in every company I ever worked with. Just that these guys are 3x the size.

New Hope. Been going there since it was 6 tables & a counter. I love the omelet with chorizo and their eggs benedict (they use real hollandaise not commercial crap) but they are both probably 2 days worth of calories & a lot of fat 

That was the first new car I ever bought, I put 250,000 miles on it and never had a lick of trouble. (well I did have to replace the water pump at 160 but tht was easy) Only sold it because I needed something bigger for the family. It got better gas mileage than my current sedan and thos 13" tires were cheap to…
