Let wood look like wood! I will never understand the appeal of white-on-white-on-white sterility. Mme. Liberal and I joked about a house on HGTV last night that would have looked exactly the same if the show had been recorded in black and white. 

Making cocktails quick and easy is valid goal, but we do it by picking up canned cocktails made by a local craft distillery. That $350 will buy quite a few cans of goodness.

The interview finally clued me in to what has been bothering my about the previews. The Dick van Dyke show is not from the 50s. It’s very much of the Kennedy era of the 60s. It was still on the air when Bewitched started. That’s why seeing Wanda in 50s style house dresses while standing in the Petrie kitchen struck me…

Of course you meant 221B Baker Street, right? I was worried (well, not that worried) that they got the inscription wrong but it’s fine. The aliens should go to the right (fictional) place.

Boot straps! Personal Responsibility! Corporate Freedom! 

It’s like a cross between Laura Petrie and June Cleaver. Fifties style dress with MTM’s speech pattern.

I’ll watch the real science shows during my free 6 months through Verizon but there’s just way too much conspiracy/paranormal/aliens pseudoscience on those networks for me to pay money for them. 

It’s about our republic! Our constitution, and our families!!!

Have they put Stacey Abrams in charge of the Democratic Party yet? If not, why are they waiting? The woman knows how to win and puts that knowledge to work. Oh yeah, because TPTB in the Democratic party would rather just float along and not actually accomplish anything. 

Sigh, another case of “if you have the means...” BTW, how long has it been since you shopped for a car? You think you can get a nice, new, SUV for $20k? A base CRV goes $25k.

I’ll stick with Nick Offerman wordlessly sipping his Lagavulin in front of a fire.

I don’t know exactly but I know we were on a flight back from a vacation in Kauai in early March and the flight attendants were just learning new restrictions on service that they had to follow. My company put out a blanket WFH order the day I got back to work and shortly after that the lockdown started. I went to…

Does that even make sense to you? Because your train of thought seems to have left the tracks. I’m sorry that Constitutional Law is difficult for you but maybe if you went to that same Catholic university you could get a handle on it. 

It’s not germain, but yes I did serve. Six years in the Navy. I was very glad that my superior officers did not pressure me into worshiping the way that they thought was right. Religious freedom is not just the right to spread your beliefs it also means that others are free to worship how they wish without government…

Evangelicals that see it as their mission to make everyone worship the same way they do and use military authority to enable that goal? Yes.

Since the Air Force Academy is basically Liberty University with uniforms they can’t be too shocked.

Where are the Praetorian Guard when you really need them?

Exactly! Written in 1943, just like I’ll Be Home for Christmas. 

I can’t watch the video but a lot of the secular Christmas classics had a feeling of melancholy that came from the war years. White Christmas and I’ll Be Home for Christmas being two that immediately come to mind. They speak of a longing for home and family that people can relate to. The happier songs were done with…
