I have no desire to go to his funeral, so there’s no concern of that happening. Besides, his funeral is for his family, not for him. Had I ever the chance to tell him to his face when he lived that he was a horrific piece of shit human being, I would have. My path through life does not typically lead me to such…

He was diagnosed with a 0% chance of surviving his brain cancer, and he didn’t resign because he knew he might linger long enough that he’d be replaced by an appointed Senator rather than an elected one.  If he’d resigned a few months ago, Arizona would be holding an election to fill his seat.  John McCain decided…

Let’s not forget “Swift Boat” either.

He was a terrible soldier, who was incredibly brave.

That moment is going to get blasted around a lot today. But here is the thing to remember. Trump shit all over him for being a POW, then McCain voted in line with what Trump wanted 80% of the time. I get the idea that 80% is better than 100% but it’s still shitty and spineless.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m on a log trip right now; I usually take one right after my coffee.

That’s why it’s been proven to be such a great handling platform with predictable cornering characteristics and gradual and controllable oversteer.

Les Miserables would have been a lot shorter if Jean Valjean would have just explained that he didn’t know the bread was a sentimental item.

Except there are studies that show the likelihood of violence increases when people have easy access to a gun.

Actually it’s very well studied and documented that first generation immigrants (whether they are here legally or not) have lower crime rates than US citizens.

My wife’s pregnant friend and her two little girls were just murdered last week by the husband/father. I guess that’s what happens when you let white guys from North Carolina into your country.

I don’t even want to respond to that nonsense, but at the same time: he was there because he was hired to work on a farm by an influential Republican because that is how our nation has dealt with farm labor since before most of us were born. At least on the ground level, there is bipartisan agreement to keep doing it…

Of course, sure. But you’re not a fully-formed person at 14 or 15. You do dumb stuff for dumb reasons. Sometimes, the lesson of, “Wow, that’s dumb, screw someone who makes me feel uncomfortable and/or wants to put me in danger,” is self-evident once a kid has experienced/is experiencing this situation. And a kid who…

I only realized they played the anthem on TV when I was watching a game in mixed company and a dude stood up and put his hand over his heart. It was CRAZY awkward.

I haven’t had enough coffee to be dealing with this bullshit yet.

Years ago, I had a Mercedes estate; a W203. I was young and optimistic and thought it could do anything; I thought it was reliable, and fast, and spacious, and so on.

Tried to re-create a bit of tail wiggle in my mom’s Pathfinder on a dirt road, because I felt so good about having corrected for the first one so “well”.

What makes you think I actually think anything? I’m not even real.

By the time I was 15, I had a six pack.  Just about every day.
