I’d add one more- Will I REALLY use it? How many people do you know with an exercise bike that’s mostly used as a coat rack, e.g.? I always ask myself THAT one several times before pulling the trigger on any purchase. 

There appear to be a lot of phony “co-ops” out there these days. The one nearest me replaced the natural grass lawn that had been in front of the building with TURF not long ago, which to me was the ultimate expression of who they ACTUALLY are. They even have “co-op” in the name, but dig a bit deeper, and you learn…

I live in NC, and I totally saw this coming. Ignorance, bigotry and greed are choices, and maybe that’s what the voters here really want to see in their government. Time will tell. I suspect that all of this stuff will eventually backfire on the GOP in spectacular fashion, but maybe not. How many times do these clowns…

You don’t hear music blasting everywhere in the 21st Century like you did in the last one. To me the last great Summer song that you heard EVERYWHERE has to be the song that OWNED the Summer of ‘99. I refer to Santana’s “Smooth”, which seemed to be on every car radio and convenience store PA system for the entire…

So, a 200+ year old document isn’t what we should consult to run this country, after all, but rather a two THOUSAND year old one that has its roots in oral history, and has undoubtedly been changed by numerous translators? How about we come up with some rules for THIS century instead, and I don’t mean ones crafted…

Anyone who didn’t see this coming should consider prescription eyewear. Do you not recognize a TOAD when you see one?

I could almost feel sorry for him. He wants so desperately to be cool, but never will, and all his money will never change that. Freedom of speech? He doesn’t have much freedom AT ALL. Homeless people have more freedom than he does...

Sure, let’s bring back all that POLLUTION. Great idea! 

Interesting that NOBODY is reporting on the status of Bhasan Char, the small “island” in the Bay of Bengal that was chosen to house some 30,000 Rohingya refugees from violence in Myanmar. My suspicion is that the island no longer exists, at least not as it was. It didn’t even EXIST a few decades ago, you see...

I’d imagine the writers’ strike will be the final nail in Yellowstone’s coffin, too. The impetus had already clearly gone out of it. Time for a weak non-ending, like The Sopranos? Seems likely...

People get more ignorant every day. It’s truly amazing to witness...from a distance, of course. 

Never bend over in the presence of the Exalted One....

An old one- the last scene in W.C. Fields’ “The Bank Dick”, including the fire engine bit, and the part where Fields hands the bank robber the wheel when he complains about his driving. Now THAT is classic!

To me, the best chase scene in “Freebie and the Bean” is the one where the titular characters wind up crashing into the old couple’s bedroom...on the third floor.

That picture should be in the dictionary under “shit-eating grin”. It’s likely to fade some come next ELECTION. Somehow I don’t think that the same people will be voting for this corrupt bitch next time. Of course, this assumes that the Republcans won’t find a way to eliminate elections now that they have that…

Driving is a privilege, and should be REVOKED permanently for reckless, STUPID behaviors such as this. 

I’m waiting for the phaser.

He has them all buying that BS for now. It won’t last.

Both “sides” are complicit in all of this. If this were not so, then why would both continue to parrot the same LIES? For example, this country has defaulted on its debt FOUR times, and yet they both (and the media) keep screaming that it has never happened. Why? Fear keeps sheep in line. Simple as that. We deserve…

We need more options. This two party system is clearly a failure, since it relegates voter choice to a virtual coin toss. If there were other parties allowed in by the two that run the show, we would have democracy. As it stands, we’re being PLAYED.
