This is a very specific part of Missouri: Home to Bass Pro Shop headquarters, Winter’s Bone territory and various racist leaflet-ers (https://www.ky3.com/2022/01/19/flyers-with-racial-slurs-against-mlk-placed-yards-few-springfield-neighborhoods/)

Just here to point out that Springfield, Mo., is literally Winter’s Bone country — the home of Bass Pro Shop and Branson is practically a suburb. So a “conference” like this is basically another Saturday night.

And since the Academy Awards are probably going to be toast in the next year or two (at least the broadcast)...

Okay, I’m now officially over “The Slap” and all debate about it. I’m going to assume that any further publicity about it is being generated by the Academy in an attempt to keep their lame-ass organization from being recognized as the historically racist, misogynistic, elitist anachronism it is.

There’s this old saying about apples falling off trees....

All the better if it could be a trans woman. We’d be watching GOP heads exploding like a string of firecrackers!

Lisa Bonet=my hero.

Spouse of a union unit rep who just went through negotiations, here. Yay for you! Power to the people, right on!

Dream on. I just hope it doesn’t trigger a violence.

Yeah, there’s long been rumors that Aaron does more to balls than “throwing” them. And Packers fans are actually fine with this, or just don’t care - they just want him to win football games.

Hey, I’m just glad she’s still alive. It was looking touch and go for minute there.

I worked with a guy who was a frat brother of Pitt’s (Sigma Chi, University of Missouri, early 1980s). When he first told us, we were all, “Pictures or it didn’t happen.” When he brought pictures, our jaws dropped, too - I mean, it was obviously Brad Pitt - who looked like a dorky, stoned 12-year-old in college. He…

Once again proves that just because you’re famous it doesn’t mean you’re smart or good.

This! Better coffee, supports local economy.

This is one of my worst nightmares. We had a house that had garter snakes living in the stone foundation. Found one in the middle of my kitchen floor one time. Therapy was expensive...
