You could make a case that this crosses the line from cultural appropriation into tourism and advertising.  What I mean, is there is a grey line where describing trash as culture can be an insult to the culture the trash is derived from.  If Ariana wears one of those “I am white trash” tats, then this is not cultural…

It may be an exaggeration to characterize this as a mower. It might be more accurate to call it a lawn manicure, machine.

This is terribly inappropriate, but I am going to criticize Amber’s choice of courtroom attire. To my eye, it appears her lawyers told her to wear a tailored suit, but they might not have meant tailored to be tight. I am not saying her fashion choice is a bad one. It could be her lawyers do want her to dress exactly…

I guess we will have to call this a starless night.  I lose more stars that way.  But, thanks for being polite about it.

Mello neither had a role in the experiment, or worked directly for the organization doing it, and had no ethics oversight role.  He simply knew something.  If he did anything wrong, then he might have known a crime was going to be or was being committed in China, under Chinese law.   Not everyone, not Mello, not all…

Hawking famously preferred to cling obsolete technology, because poor quality synthetic speech, became a signature aspect of his marketing schtick. I think he did update a sometimes, provided the low quality speech could be retained.

Kristen Gillibrand has referred to herself as a “Young Mom” and so she has dibs on being the young Mom of the 2020 campaign, despite that she is fifty-two. As a young Mom, Kristen’s prior dating cannot be discussed, because of America’s informal right to be forgotten after being a young, white Mom, media courtesy. The…

You can hardly complain, if you actually don’t want the White House Press Secretary to lie, and she stops lying. By giving no briefings. Let’s face facts. The President did not want Jim Acosta at the briefings. The asshole managed to get a court order allowing him admission. Jim Acosta just put two hundred people with…

The bear might have been merely keeping an eye on a future snack, waiting for the boy to stop moving and smell dead.

It’s hard to imagine that Schultz will be more a spoiler than The Green Party.  The greatest threat the Schultz candidacy presents, is the threat that America’s moneyed class might not contribute to a Democratic Party that wants to tax them 70% on income and also introduce an unconstitutional, wealth tax.  Maybe the…

Wages were up 3.1% on an annualized basis in Q3. This is evidence. Of course the effect of tax cuts might be greater in 2019, since many companies are paying taxes based on 2017 returns to avoid penalties should they pay lower estimated taxes than 2017 and income increase in 2018.  Some businesses are not going to…

AOC tweeted recently that the world would end in twelve years, because of climate change. Shouldn’t she be expected to support this claim while she tries to censor the speech of those with opposing views, and accuses them of being loose with the facts?  AOC has not addressed this and many of us are waiting for her to…

A handgun is a tool for killing, although it is not true that nobody hunts or uses them for target shooting.  Use of compact cars gets more children killed than handguns, yet there is no effort to require cars to be large and heavy, despite the risk.  Apparently, babies lives are not worth the extra pollution and…

It’s really going to be the PD’s insurance company that decides whether to settle, and doesn’t inherently mean the PD is regretful.  A civil suit is more likely to succeed and worth more in damages or settlement, if the police are found guilty of criminal conduct. That means that the family is throwing away some…

I stand corrected.  I thought beans had fiber.  I guess I don’t know beans.

Yes, Sophie is right, that the qualities of today’s Latino immigration is more similar to when Europeans immigrated into the First Peoples’ America. So, we European Americans have to assimilate and try to be responsible about accepting the inevitable dismantling and future extinction of our culture. We must try to…

He can’t be Not-C-Murder, because he might be misidentified as a Catholic schoolboy.

Grenades, particularly the good ole’ pineapple were always popular souvenirs for WWII soldiers.  Some live grenades were kept on the coffee table for generations and assumed to be hollow casings or faux.  

I thought about using it that way, but did not.

I am getting back into using weights at the gym, as an old person though and my knowledge is apparently from the dark ages.
