People will start getting hungry before March so in all likelihood, there will be bipartisan support for ending the shutdown, by then.  If the shutdown continues a few more days, Food Stamps for February will be issued.  A lot of people will blow their February SNAP benefits well before the end of February, because...…

The price of Avocados has dipped though, in the most recent week at my store.  

That might persuade most human fathers, but President Trump?  This sentimental weakness might not apply.

Isn’t it a bit twisted to refer overrepresentation of black people in Federal jobs as discrimination against them? Those amazing benefits are like a trap, to lure in naïve victims.

I would think the issues would be that the server has some unpleasant past experiences with people who don’t want to see the bill prior to paying, but suffer sticker shock when they get a receipt.  Some of them may have intended to visit other tables, before taking a card to the PIN Pad, but may be required to drop…

Signatures are no longer required for credit transactions in the U.S. as of some months ago, in 2018.  Not every establishment will have changed their practices as yet.

The Root was alleging real racism against black people in anti-Pit bull laws, in an article, only weeks ago. I knew this old guy, may he rest in peace, who was out walking his two dogs on long chains in the yard on his small ranch. The dogs became excited and ran in circles around him, tied his legs together with the…

The Constitution doesn’t discuss a President Pardoning himself, not because of intent, but because the concept that the President’s own Executive branch, Prosecutors, prosecuting their sitting President, without the President firing them for insubordination, would have been unthinkable in that day and age. The…

I am sorry, but it is the Rosemary and Olive Oil, flavored Triscuit that is the best. But, I have to admit Cracked Pepper and Olive Oil is not a cullinary crime like Chicken-In-A-Biscuit.

“Do What U Want” was for sure an unfortunate title and probably moving up in download numbers, to a very visible position in the Lady Gaga, iTunes catalog. So, it seems doubtful that clearing the way to an Oscar is the sole motive for delisting the song. If there is a marketing agreement such that R. Kelly can also…

A permit for collecting roadkill, hunting or trapping, might be legally required.

It just makes the RBG Deathwatch a bit more prominent. But, as for cancer, as she is cancer free, she probably has a few more years before surgery would be like whack-a-mole and ill advised. Experimental cancer treatments for this situation might be advanced enough to try by that time. Given that the broken ribs and…

He would be wise to watch his step though. Blacklist activists are carefully examining his past. Like the video clip of him letting Louis C.K. use the N-word years ago.  He can be blacklisted in the future.

A President has the power to pardon, but he is no judge.  There is an arbitrary leap of logic to decide that a Pardon is a Judgement or Court Decision.  It is the opposite, a check and balance on the power of the Judiciary.

Keep your signed first editions, and if you want to do some literary signaling to insure that your guests know you are not a hillbilly, then list your favorites on social media and keep a kindle open to a library on your coffee table. Otherwise, time to bring an end to the musty clutter.  This is the 21st century and…

The police department has this policy of issuing a trespass to any business requesting one on a call.  Maybe they need to rethink that.  Not every police department does this, unconditionally.  They could issue one only if there appears to be some conduct that justifies it.  But, if there isn’t the cops might be…

I think the author of the texts was sort of going for, “I could eat you alive,” or something almost as bad.  At least some degree of enthusiasm and urgency was expressed.  What is interesting to me about this situation is that Bezos Ex is obviously hotter than his honey.  Isn’t that so often the case? The photo out…

I would expect most sentences will be dropped and records expunged. Maybe some sort of window dressing, fakey opportunities will be offered to people of modest income in neighborhoods impacted by the change. But, most of the money will go to wypipo , and POC entrepreneurs who already are pretty comfortable,…

Well, obviously the wypipo burnout cases, who will be the owners of non-corporate pot shops are going to have problems with loans and business relationships too. But, they can afford to operate on a cash basis, most of them.

Money doesn’t mean big money, necessarily, but it represents income for a lot of people.
