Oddly enough I woke up this morning with “Turn It On Again” in my mind so the line “I can show you/I can show you/Some of the people in my life” might apply to the poor orphaned rhino.

As my grandmother would say, “You are doing the Lord’s work.” But then again you see where it got Tippi Hedren in the Alfred Hitchcock movie (just kidding.)

It’s the King James version of Genesis 1:26. I assume (since I am not a regular Bible reader) that nowadays it goes something like, “and whatever else is hanging out, just, you know.”

I think of it the other way (I am not vegan, but eventually I’ll be having vegetarian lasagna for dinner tonight.) I think of it as “Become a dog hoarder! Crazy cat lady! [WITHIN REASON] Feed the squirrels. Feed the pigeons. Stock the koi ponds and trout and salmon streams. Set up the bear refuges and bird…

I laughed but I shouldn’t have. Some of us had Jeeps for parents, some of us had crappy grey Hyundais, life is what you make of it.

It is not often (= never) that I find myself quoting Genesis in a comment, but I think it’s appropriate here (1:26):

It’s nice to know that we’re way behind Mali and Zimbabwe and oh, 3/4 of the world on this. I single out Mali and Zimbabwe at random because I could find these countries on the map and they’re not usually held up as exemplars of forward-thinking wealthy democratic-socialist countries, like Sweden. American…

She qualified for Season 3 of the Apprentice, which is where she got chummy with the Republican frontrunner.

Right. Stigmata. Just like I immediately thought “Ebola.”

If Anthony Trollope could do it (long-hand!) so can you!

Hindus? (And maybe in his mind it is spelled “Hindoos”?) Did he really mean he hates Indian people and decided to throw a little religious bigotry in along with the racism?

You can do it for free with a little patience and GIS. All our dogs save for one have been shelter mutts, obviously one breed but then something else. The assumption is always “pit bull” but none of ours have been. Just type in, for example, “German Shepard” “Pit Bull”. Images will come up. No, none of those look…

Going down the road, a relative of mine just graduated high school so he got cash from me.

For the very best of 80s fashions, forget Dallas and Dynasty. Try to get episodes of Cheers during the Kirstie Alley era. Sometimes her shoulder pads are so big she has to walk kind of sideways through doorways. Judith Light (Angela Bower) on Who’s the Boss is another good one. And of course Sigourney Weaver in…

A friend of mine has a relative whose phone conversations will be completely unpredictable, to the point of being other-worldly, so the ringtone for him is the theme from The Twilight Zone.

She got off easy. If I were the moderator I would have addressed her as, “Ms. Fiorina, as someone who drove into the ground what was once a thriving company admired around the world, ruining the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans through massive layoffs and catastrophic stock price collapses, how would you…

They’re waiting to see what Donald Trump is going to say in tonight’s debate!

Sadly, I am not in Baltimore but I clicked on the link for the drinking game and see that there’s a bar sponsoring a Parade of the Horribles viewing party. Parade of the Horribles. Perfect.

I know there are wings of the Republican party, but at this point isn’t it like kids at a small sectarian high school trying to elect the head of the Yearbook Committee?

Yeah, and thanks by the way for throwing Ted Cruz our way and keeping Justin Trudeau for yourselves.
