Very interesting. It's always on at my work, also, unless no one is in the break room and I surreptitiously change the channel. We are a foreign-owned company, and not from Australia, so there is no discernible Fox connection. I think we just have a whole bunch of rednecks in my office who like to be pissed off at

And now we pray, to Rupert, Lachlan, and the Holy James.

"Clam Diggers" gets a whole new meaning.

I get harassed by Fox News every time I go to breakfast at a Holiday Inn, La Quinta, or Spring Hill Suites hotel in Texas or Louisiana. That's gotta be a corporate indoctrination program by those companies.

Somehow, I don't see AG Jeff Sessions pursuing this matter with great vigor. Now, if somebody else laughs during a congressional hearing, he may go for the death penalty.

I honestly don't think there is a point. Two people decided to fuck without protection, or at least one woman decided go to an in vitro clinic, and through meiosis and mitosis, you popped out. How could there possibly be any *point* to that? It's happened about 100 billion times in history, and we are still mired on

I notice Michael Richards wasn't mentioned in this breaking-the-curse talk. As it shouldn't be.

I have another one that haunts me that wasn't really close but I think about her a lot. I had a huge crush on this girl starting freshman year. She was Italian, which I eventually figured out was my type. She was also very quiet and shy, which I was drawn to because I was as well. She had this obnoxious best friend

I had a similar relationship with the assistant head cheerleader, although she never touched my hand or asked for my number or anything that forward. She was the only cool kid who ever talked to me, and I never could tell if she was just being nice or if she liked me, so I felt it safe to assume the former. She was in

I work a 9/80 schedule, but my project team basically doesn't give a shit and is always assigning me stuff at the last minute that needs to go out on my Friday off. The supervisors all think that the 9/80 Friday should be treated like Saturday and Sunday and should only be assigned in an emergency. The problem is,

I'm going to San Antonio and eating at Papouli's! Best Greek cuisine I've ever eaten. Highly recommended. No, I am not a paid stooge. Nor am I an unpaid stooge. I don't even like the Three Stooges or Iggy and the Stooges all that much, although I respect their work.

Former Red Sox pitcher Bill Lee. That guy has to be from another planet.

I wrote a screenplay for "High Maintenance" on a lark. Of course, I know no one in TV (let alone HBO), publishing, or any other creative media, so no one ever read it.

I'm going to the San Antonio Fiesta Jazz Festival Saturday. Should be fun. Then we'll head over to the Riverwalk and hang out.

The NFL Draft is an insane circus that is almost as popular as the game itself. I don't get it. It's boring as hell after the first 10 picks or so. I've never heard of most of the guys after that point, and many of the first 10 are offensive linemen, so even if I have heard of them, they aren't exciting. I just check

Just moved to Houston, 1992. I started looking for dates on a local free newspaper that contained mostly classified ads and had singles ads interspersed throughout. You would find an ad you like and call a phone number and leave a message, and if the person liked the message, they would call you back. IIRC, she

"I don't know what's more ridiculous, you guys acting like Hawaiians or me pretending to be Italian."

I'd prefer an end to the Conservative Movement, and then people on Social Security and Medicare could spend their money more wisely.

The "Conservative Movement" has been a very long con, and Ms. Lahren is just the latest lipstick on this pig (to mix metaphors). It's all a wealth-transfer system where doddering oldtimers living on fixed-incomes and daydreaming about the good old days when they could discriminate against people of color with impunity

Oh, it's Fancy Keyboard Guy! Mine is just a cheap-o up to F12.
