I admit to getting a little bothered when someone, usually female, uses a new cadence or style of speaking with me. But I also love that this change in vocal styles continues and having lived for a while now, it is fun to watch funny mimics nail these inflections on shows like SNL. It is always a mistake for us olds…

I hadn’t put that together yet. Great observation.

That observation has been made many times in my life. Why are women so much more susceptible to organized religion than men? What is going on with that?

Well said. I am fortunate to have a good work situation where I have a desk and the ability to eat at my desk or go out, whichever I choose. I am salaried and work 9 hours to allow for the lunch break. I am not always able to take the entire hour but I try to take most of it just on the principle that it is helpful to…

bThe idea of reigning in Federal powers has some merit. I am never in favor of complacency and our government is big and complacent. And I imagine that revolutionaries always sound nuts. I am sure they sounded nuts when they declared our separation from England. But...and this is a big BUT. I think this current…

I’m not usually in the business of defending billionaires but lets honor him a little for creating this whole universe that so many people love to play in. Disney has simply built on to the very strong foundation and study house that he built with six movies. Don’t run him down just because he spoke his mind about the…

A sad way to start the new year. RIP.

I have read a lot of what you have written and mostly enjoyed it all. Thanks for your shot of Y chromosome into this site. You tackled some outre subjects.

You are, of course, right. However, my point is that to roll this case into hundreds if not thousands of others, there is another issue here of poverty and its inability to win in our justice system. I’m suspecting that the Grand Jury members took one look at Tamir’s mother and her situation and lumped her into a…

I don’t know anything more about this than anyone else but I was horrified by the video and still am. This woman is poor and her children are poor and there is such a hatred of poor people in this Capitalist country where everyone is striving to be wealthy. I am taking the color of her skin out of it for just a…

He is scarier than Trump by far. Even scarier than Cruz. But his position at about dead last has nullified him. Don’t have to waste much time or thought on him.

I completely agree. I can’t think of something to top it!

The Sixth Day is here! Call Arnold.

But don’t you kinda expect that in New Orleans?

Thank you friend. You get me!

No. Go ahead and give in to the ac. I have had mine running for two days. By mostly not looking outside and having it on, I have kept myself from being too grouchy about the weather at Christmas.

Predictability is something I crave.

small victories are at least victories.

I absolutely hate this warm weather in winter shit. It doesn’t have to be freakishly cold, but seasonal weather is not too much to expect. Maybe we have fucked up our world in a much bigger way than any of us expected.

I loved Columbia House as well as BMG and was a member at least two or three times with each. My time was mostly the cassette era but I believe I have a dozen or so CDs form Columbia House. I never tried to scam them and I am pissed that so many of you bitches thought it was just a joke to make up fake names to try to…
