I knew it. I freaking knew it.

As I've said, I lived in Central Appalachia for a long time and stayed attuned to theological matters. Personal interest.

For about fifteen years, every weird news story came out of Cleveland, TN. Where this ----- is based.

Stay away from Cleveland, TN, unless you know a reliable moonshiner. And they still exist.

Or there's a Waffle House there.

The man who brought us the 24-hour news cycle. For that he should be reviled.

The Braves were fun to watch under his ownership, though.

And he brought us the incomparable Bill Tush, the original fake news, during rainouts. Jan Hooks, too.

RIP, for all his faults.

Trump fell asleep during a kids' fitness event? Easy fix:

Teenage women's gymnastics competition.

Just keep his hands above the table where we can see them.

18. Yeah, you're right. The press you trust was all over the Dijon Mustard debacle.

They could have just lied to get the point across, but they were just getting into the rhythm.

Let's not forget that the interstates were built for, among other things, plane landings and troop movements.

The Jersey Turnpike is a trip. Still use the same punch-code-type cards for toll payments they were using 60 years ago.

And do you tip the guy who pumps your gas? So many questions . . .

It's as if the man has never learned anything in his entire life other than how to act out.

Whatever she tells him is what passes for his "memory."

6. We have an entertainer friend who has spent significant time abroad. He was in Fez and asked a local where a bathroom was. The man smiled, waved his arm expansively, and said, "All Morocco a toilet."

I spent a day in Tangier. Took the ferry over from Torremolinos. I figured, when I am ever going to get a change to see Africa again?

Or southern Spain for that matter.

Kerouac and Orlovsky. Burroughs in his suit in the sand in Tangier. Now I can say I saw this beach.

21.

That's "Kill My Landlord."

C-I-L-L

my landlord.

Gotta problem with Eddie Murphy?

26.

----------------.

The DR is about my limit for online opinions from randos without portfolio.

Who?

I mean really. Where are all the backpage whataboutism links about Democrats caught in kiddy diddling or porn charges?

Have to spend too much time looking for them? Not enough there there?

Not to make light of the situation, but I wouldn't mind being unfindable in Morocco for a while.

Wonder if he was near disclosing some uncomfortable information.

But when the left views EVERYTHING through the lens of race ...

America views everything through the lens of race. Since about 1619. Wake up.

Or they'd . . .

The money saved could be used to help groups of people right now in such a way they'd in the long term not require as much federal assistance.

Or who they'd be living in a society that values human life more than defense company profits.

We'd all benefit from that.

I've also been screaming for spending cuts. Real cuts not just reductions in the rate of growth that still vastly outpaces inflation.

Would you be willing to cut 20 percent from the DoD? In "normal" times?

No Democrat or Republican would. How about you?

I'd go for it in a minute.

DOGE?

Moron.

With Boaz gone, BillJohnson is one of the true marvels on this site, presuming they are not playing a character.
