We are a massive nation split into 50 pieces forever tied to an overarching document that founded our nation hundreds of years ago. Changing the fundamental way we elect our leaders isn't something that is going to happen in an election cycle or two. Tweaks will happen but the system will always ha...

so, what your saying is that I'm forced into voting for the preselected, pre-approved, handpicked octegenarian thay they've shuffled to the top of the ballot as my only other option. The illusion of choice. It's like the fake thermostats in hotel rooms to make people feel like they have the control...

Sparko is saying you have a choice between an authoritarian running for president who will sieze your assets and maybe force you into a camp in a dystopia where voting is suspended forever. And a guy doing a pretty good job running a nation of divergent interests. so, what your saying is that I'm f...

It was reported widely, by reputable news outlets (among my sources, NPR), that pro-Israeli “protesters” in the UCLA incident were clearly armed with sticks and other weapons while the pro-Palestinian protesters were not. It was reported that the former group was there looking for a fight and violen...

I don't have answers - other than some extreme ideas/suggestions that will never happen. I'll keep searching. . . . The thing that makes me smirk to myself is that a part of my job is to help Uncle Joe (and other Dems) get re-elected. While I prefer him over the alternative/s, he's not someone I am...

The partisan hacks on the Supreme Court have stopped pretending that they are not partisan hacks. Progress?

Sure, Jan: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53677049342_c8d5023a48_c.jpg So if our intelligence services determine a domestic rival to be a Russian asset and a threat to disclose top secret documents/information....can we go ahead and pull the trigger? Asking for a friend. It would seem that the...

Are they going to find him guilty of anything meaningful? what would you consider meaningful? i think a guilty verdict for any of the felony charges will do notable damage at the ballot box. i would consider that meaningful, even if there’s no actual jail time (which i don’t see happening anyway) J...

It took an awful lot of restraint on the part of the Solicitor General to not blurt out to Alito and Thomas “Are you always an idiot or do you only become one when you don a black coat?”

Fish - I think the term you’re looking for is “Family Values (TM)”

Who decided to show the two axes like that? Aussies are at 10x lower risk!

The appropriately named “HOOHA” Act!!

How great would it be if they got another Jayhawk (after Rupp) to be their HC, like Haase or………and he gets deep in a few tournaments in a row………poetic justice?

Come to think of it, who would loose their sh!t more, us or them?!?!

The Onion?

I am thinking about buying one share through a discount brokerage when the price is tanking (no fees) then request the company to issue me a stock certificate. Companies hate that because it’s a lot of work (I may be wrong but I think they’re required by law to do it). I’m sure I can sell the certif...

Original Roadhouse is a cult classic. It’s not a great movie by any means but its time-and-place makes it an epic. It was the first movie I watched with my then girlfriend on VHS (tape borrowed from the corner bodega) the first time I stayed over at her place. It was her pick!! Lots of gratuitous nu...

From the ‘you can’t make this up’- files. His Orangeness’ bond was underwritten by a certain Mr Hankey. His presumed partner, Mr Pankey, was unavailable for comment.

At least it’s OUR theocracy, right!?!?!

So, why did “they” schedule Easter on transgender visibility day?

i’m surprised there isn’t a requirement that they accompany until clear of things like bridges hindsight, i guess As I understand it, that used to be SOP. Newer technologies generally make that unnecessary -- until the tech fails, that is. Commercial vessels traversing most “inland” waterways are r...
