5. Baby steps.

12.

I invite you to go to any story about animal cruelty and take a look at the mugshot.

Would you say, at first or fifth impression, that person would be more likely to vote for Trump or Obama?

Or, reading their writings [cough-cough], would they groove to Hitler or Saul Alinsky?

How about you?

Ask Chick-fil-A to hand over their license plate records.

Just not on Sunday.

America you don't really want to go to war.
America its them bad Russians.
Them Russians them Russians and them --------. And them Russians.
The Russia wants to eat us alive. The Russia's power mad. She wants to take our cars from out our garages.
Her wants to grab Chicago. Her needs a Red Reader's Digest. Her wants our auto plants in Siberia. Him big bureaucracy running our fillingstations.
That no good. Ugh. Him make Indians learn read. Him need big black n------s. Hah. Her make us all work sixteen hours a day. Help.
America this is quite serious.
America this is the impression I get from looking in the television set.
America is this correct?
I'd better get right down to the job.
It's true I don't want to join the Army or turn lathes in precision parts factories, I'm nearsighted and psychopathic anyway.
America I'm putting my queer shoulder to the wheel.

Allen Ginsberg, from "America," Berkeley, January 17, 1956

I'm all for it, and even naming it after him, as long as he's buried under it.

And it happens this week.

MAGA. Teen wrestler? Gym Jordan?

Got it.

Like many centrally planned societies, the Heritage Foundation took a page from the communist playbook and planned long term. They had a vision years ago. They executed it and continue to do so. We're suffering.

The Democrats don't have serious long-term plans, or at least they can't make them law. They don't execute their vision. They suck at messaging and always, always have.

The left in the US has been outflanked and outmaneuvered on just about every domestic front.

Want to blame Trump for all the country's ills? Might be better to wonder why Democrats have not made their approach to the world more attractive to US voters.

Then again, if the US is really full of racist, misogynist, knuckle-breathing fools, maybe we're right where we're supposed to be at the moment.

Sucks, huh? Too bad we don't have a political party or a populace that's capable of battling the enemy within.

If all it took was Trump to do this to America, we were on really shaky ground already.

122. We're all hall monitors. It's part of the site's fun.

What does linking to scripture have anything to do with ICE, the Constitution or amendments?

Luke 4:23

"Physician, heal thyself."

Lotsa threads you join end up being about you, because your logic is so stunningly twisted it's hard to ignore.

And your cut-and-run posting style isn't the most tedious around here, but we don't need to know every time you've entered and exited the chat room, and why, and who has offended you into doing some chores or watching a TV show rather than responding to questions you've prompted.

Got it now?

Instead of trolling blogs, you should be a judge since you believe yourself qualified.

Many have speculated that that poster is someone with admin privileges on this site. I've also seen some people speculate the same thing about yourself...

Many. Some people.

Drama. Site has more hall monitors than participants.

Something tells me it wasn't the aftermath of a bar mitzvah prank.

Where's Chairborne when you need him?

I've been in publishing for about 50 years.

I don't know what "millennial em dash" means, nor do I care to find out.

Em dashes, like cockroaches, will outlast millennials.

Boebert is turned on by Trump? Quick, find a theatre! Dim the lights!

[Great old Onion headline: "Clinton to Deploy Vowels to Kyrgyzstan."]

About Zoroastrianism

Was the Zoroastrian Association of Metropolitan Washington, Inc. (ZAMWI), in the house?

Catholics. That's often half or more of the Supreme Court.

Americans of all faiths are taught to murder and rape. Just depends on who you are and what school you go to.

"Jim Cramer Rendered Speechless."

One can only hope. Mute button's been there for decades.

"The Trumpf Crime Family (TCF) realized there's more money to be made in the military-industrial complex than real estate."

Ray Kroc used to say his business wasn't hamburgers, it was real estate. Burger, fries, and a Coke . . . simply a cover.

Like government for the oligarchs. "It's all personal."

Carla Bley and Steve Swallow, "Are We There Yet"?

piano and fretless bass, a nice little bit.

Kyle Rittenhouse . . . publicly throwing his weight.

When asked once if she had any regrets, her answer:
