You aren’t actually supposed to read the Bible, just let other people tell you what is in it. I’m an atheist and I know more of what is in it than my parents who have been going to Bible study weekly for the last 10 years- their “study plan” is really narrow, only 2 or 3 sentences with crazy leading questions for

The Catholics are hardly the group to be casting stones inside that glass house. My hometown priest would change the time of Saturday mass based on when Notre Dame played and could often be found at the corner tavern scoring free drinks from the faithful.

There was probably about as much demand then as there is now: next to zero.

I seem to recall that Jesus turned water into wine, and that the guests drank it and commented on how good it was.

As a former Midwesterner, I can give you a few ideas of where Democrats fail (first gerrymandering needs to be fixed):

So, a former intelligence officer has been forced to resign because he didn’t realize we intercept communications from Russian officials? This is truly stunning stupidity, even for this administration.

I’m fortunate; I have some savings for unexpected expenses, and a low rate credit card for when the shit hits the fan. Recently, I had both my cars require some major work within a couple of weeks of each other, then an unexpected dentist expense, followed by some hurricane damage to my house. So, I had a short term

The barons of the early 20th century did some good with their money; the Rockefellers, Astors, and Carnegies gave their money to good causes. This generation of wealthy isn’t going around building thousands of libraries.

You often pay taxes twice on the same money; it’s taxed as income, then you have to pay sales, gas, property, etc, taxes.

Ugh, then Pence would be president. At least Trump is unpredictable and might by chance do something right. The sad thing is, you look down the order of succession, and there’s nothing better.

Can the MLS please stop expanding? There aren’t enough quality players for the teams that already exist.

When Rome was about to fall, the Coliseum was packed full for the gladiator matches. Just sayin’.

I once had a beagle that snatched a bag of Oreos from the counter top, and wolfed the entire package down. I came home from work to a dog with a distended belly, moaning with the stupidity of its own actions. I called the vet who told me that it probably wouldn’t kill her since there’s not a lot of actual chocolate in

They should incorporate the Thursday night game with the bye week so the teams get 10 days off on either side of the game

 My dad is a union steelworker; when RTW was passed, some people were happy that they didn’t have to pay the 10 per week union dues... until their wages were cut by 2.50/hr.

Counter-Counterpoint: I’ll drink your 20 something ass under the table since my kids have driven up my alcohol consumption dramatically, and I’ll still get up and get the kids to school on time and be to work by 830.

There was a year (kids age 1, 3 & 5) where I spent more on daycare than I did on my entire college education.

Dave Barry once summed it up this way: Little girls are miniature humans, polite, caring, well behaved. Little boys are dicks. My son gives me at least 3x the trouble of my two girls combined. When the caller ID shows the school is calling, the first thought is always WTF did he do this time?

1. Because the stuff we used to eat (nearer the surface) has been overfished, so fishermen keep going farther down in hopes of catching something to sell. Places where limits are not vigorously enforced (e.g. Russia) the problem is worse.

Instead of a boring field goal contest, it should be place kicker HORSE. I want to see crazy shit like kicking field goals from the goal line, but all the way at the sideline; drop kicks; blindfolded attempts; back heels; whatever, really. Just make it interesting. Crazy good stuff might end up in a shoe ad. People
