Back in college, one of my best friends (a serious blues guitar player and poet) always kept his strat and amp ready to play in his apartment. Being a night owl, he was up quite often about two a.m. and would pick up his slide and noodle a bit until he felt tired again. Many times, at this late hour, he started…

I still love the story that the man in charge of of U.S. Interstate signs chose the green color we still see today because he didn’t know he was color blind. He thought they were blue, and none of his underlings told him differently.

Trump doesn’t know shit about Iran. He found paperwork with Obama’s signature and said “If I undo this, my trustworthy Republicans will say nice things about me.” That is all he knows about governing.

Dear Republicans,

It’s sad. When you read the 1st Amendment, it’s obvious that the only restriction in it that he hasn’t flagrantly attempted to break is about religion, and that’s only because he desperately wants the adoration of the evangelists, who suck up to him because they can convince him to do things for them as long as they…

Trump has no concept of any political philosophy or strategy. He simply knows that destroying any document he comes across which has Obama’s signature will make Republicans applaud.

Congress will outlaw the sale of bump stocks. Betcha they don’t outlaw making or owning them.

Why change the initial wording if they wanted the same meaning? They specifically chose to alter or abandon those earlier words. The fact that they changed those documents DOES mean that they changed their intent (either to refine it or reject it).

Over 30,000 gun deaths a year in the U.S.

They chose to change the wording for a reason. Earlier texts and surrounding texts are irrelevant.

So politically brave. Outlawing civilian owned cannons that can’t be carried by ten people unless you provide twenty five cereal box tops and a note from someone pretending to be your mother.

Gun killings fell by 40% after Connecticut passed this law.

Two decades? Try at least four. Go read the news when Reagan was shot.

“the removal of these regulations is simply a protective measure to ensure gun owners don’t lose their hearing.”

Voyager was an odd mixture of episodic sitcoms and a few really good running science fiction ideas. If they focused on the crew you got pleasant but forgettable Wally & The Beave ensemble shows (the kind that Cat Grant made fun of in Supergirl season 1). If they focused on the sci-fi, you got familiar, inoffensive…

I want to see Mr. Johnson explain just how long life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness endure without food, shelter and health.

“Life is a right, but food, shelter, health are privileges.”

Too bad you’re not on io9: You could say “gorram” and no one would blink.

I get the feeling that somewhere on the set is one of those studio audience cue lights from the fifties that reads “Laugh” / “Don’t Laugh”, and neither light works.

I’m waiting for “Nobody knew that tax reform could be so complicated.”
