American socialists have been dickheads since the ‘70s in my experience. The perfect is always the enemy of the good with these guys. They get shrill when they don’t get their way. With one exception, every “radical” socialist I knew during Vietnam and Watergate turned out to be a larval Republicans who pupated into a…

You , or someone you love, os suffering from a terrible disease that is eased or cured by taking THC, CBD,any/all components of marijuana plants.

You had a neat dad. No wonder you miss him. I’m sorry for your loss but envy your luck in having such an enlightened dad.

She may have been crazy but she was right about one thing-for the rest of his life her husband will be damned to suffer from her punishment. Sleepless nights will be his norm. Thoughts will chase each otherthrough his brainn demanding to know what he could have said or done to change the outcome that day. I am sure he…

That was the first thing I asked parents who invited my kids over to play with their kids. I also had long talks with both my girls about what to do if they saw guns in the homes of their friends. It is shocking to me how careless many adults are with guns when there are children present.

Yeah, I find people in Oregon are extremely passive aggressive. They don't go out of their way to help in ways that shock me. They are very small town here and don't go out of their way to make friends. If you didn't go to high school together they don't want to know you. And yes, there are a lot of creepy guys out…

It takes courage to face down hate when you are armed with only compassion and love. That's why so many cowards need their AR-15's and their gangs. Quan Yin has always been my favorite.

Somebody was mad at this GOP affiliate and electing the moron was their revenge. I bet he moved to the next county and is getting the popcorn ready while he polishes his guns.

Boyz to men.

If you wanted to show how crude and sluttish a woman was at that time, you would display her legs. An unforgivable social faux pas. Women wore dresses cut almost to the navel but anything above her instep better have a stocking on. No bare skin below the waist!

The white bridal gown is a recent phonomenum. In 1840 Queen Victoria wore a white gown when she married Prince Albert. It was copied by a lot of brides and the rest, as the cat said, was history. Traditionally brides would have a dress made of the finest material she could afford and plan on wearing that dress over…

After Ramsey, Sansa realizes what a good husband Tyrion was. When he flies into Wesreros and rescues her from the WW on dragonback she realizes how unimportant their physical disparites are. He teaches her how sex can be truly fabulous with the right person and they go to rule as Wardens of the North in Winterfell.

My best was also 40 years ago off the coast of Maine. It was February and I borrowed a wet suit, tied a rope around my waist, got my boyfriend on the shore keeping me from leaving on the tide, and spent a couple of hours listening to the rocks and water and watching the snowflakes fall.. I have regreted taking acid.…

OMG, the weirdest trip I ever took was in Boston on Halloween back in the 70s. I got a triple dose by accident-yeah everybody thought that everybody knew there was acid in the punch. Unfortunately I wasn't everybody. Spent the night between 2 big and wonderful guys who dragged me to bars where I'd eventually make the…

Please lose the phrase Judeo-Christian. We Jews shudder when we hear it. Our moral code and history bends mainly left while the Jesus thumpers fill the halls of the right. They are two very distinct religions. The Christians have perverted the true message of the Torah and the prophets with their insistence of literal…

Letters from the Earth was one of my favorite MT books. You get the distinct impression that Mr. Clemens had it up to his moustache with brain dead bleating by twits like CCB.

Honey, I think Christians like CCB are the reason so many people turned to atheism. These repugnant, self congratulatory, mouth breathing, knuckle dragging troglodytes would have been burned at the stake in any decent religion. They are too stoopid to see that there vaunted “Word of G-d” is supposed to be understood…

The Master and Marguerita by Mikhail Bulgokov, a 1920's satire based on Faust and set in Stalinist Moscow.

For reasons unknown to science, many physicians emerge from their residencies having lost their spines. It is such a pleasant shock meeting a fellow chordate. My hero!

Because they can?
