Exactly. I have wondered what will happen when the first mass shooting happens under Emperor President Trump. Obama, for better or worse, was a master at dealing with those events. I don’t see Trump as a very good Consoler-in-Chief.

Well, the video didn’t help.

I could probably swing this one. Bit of a fixer-upper! http://www.groupe-mercure.com/en/buy/for-sale-chateau-haute-garonne-10503-9214vm.html

He’s never heard of you, either.

I just remember that Pete Postlethwaite, who played the priest, was the only one in the whole damn film who could credibly do Shakespearean dialogue. And having the narrators be news anchors was cool.

The downward spiralling suburb is a thing. Bedroom communities with no real economic base of their own are vulnerable to something as modest as consistent traffic jams on the roads that link them to the economic center. And the pipeline explosion down in Alabama is a pertinent reminder to just how dependent suburbs…

Apple stores — even when I got what I wanted promptly, I’ve never had a good customer experience in one of those places. They ‘re kind of a happy shiny version of the DMV.

Let’s see. They signed a contract that involves overtime pay. Now they are not getting it. But they are still required to work overtime. But hey, your contract is different, so you think their contract is irrelevant. Got it.

We had a suicidal student in my building recently. Really big guy, just happened to be African-American. When I heard campus police had been called, I held my breath. Everything turned out ok, but damn I was nervous.

That fictitious superhero version of myself I created when I was a kid? The source for all my security answers!

Oh did he? Bless his little ole heart.

The hair I understand. Make-up? Sure, if he’s on TV, he gets a make-up treatment. But most foundation isn’t orange. I’m just glad I don’t have that job. Maybe they sprinkle Cheetos in his foundation....

If we were to create sentient-seeming robots, I can assure that you no more want to date the people who abuse them than you want to date people who abuse animals. How someone would treat such an entity would tell you a great deal about their fundamental character.

He’ll make millions on the right wing outrage circuit. But it will still be a comedown for him.

I just realized some of these women are actually different people. They are all from the same mold, if you don’t see them all the time they kind of merge together.

And the Republicans in the legislature are already gearing up to punish us for it. That whole “small government,” “local government,” thing goes out the window when Nashville and other Dem controlled cities try to, you know, make local decisions.

We have roads designed for cars, not bikes. I do precisely what I’m supposed to do when I’m on a bike, and sometimes that is scary and sometimes car drivers don’t like me for it. Why are you in the middle lane? Because the right lane dumps on to the interstate. Stop honking at me. But if I stay in the right lane, and…

Oh please. I find myself straddling the line between the two lanes if I’m at the front of the line so I can let the people who want to turn right go ahead and turn right. Why, because I don’t feel entitled, just polite. There’s all kinds of ways cars can make cyclists feel unsafe, just doing what they do. Try making a…
