Hey, I'd welcome some change, IF it's for the better. He doesn't get a free pass because of his pigmentation. He's a power-hungry politician, just like the rest of 'em, and we don't expect any miracles, but it's time for some damned changes before we wind up annexed by the Commie Chinese. After...

Global warming is real- quantifiable. How much it is caused by humans via deforestation, burning fossil fuels, etc., is debatable. Pretty much a moot point, though, because people sure as hell aren't going to take to the woods and live like the Indians again until/unless they have to. Even if...

The best Michael Jackson songs are the spoof versions by the great Weird Al Yankovic!

Meaningless slogans: "Ah feel yore pain" - Slick Willie "Ah wanna be known as the Environmental/ Educational President"- Dubya

"I ain't gonna pp in no cup unless Nancy Reagan's gonna drink it up"- Mojo Nixon Random's right- An employer has a right to test, and potential employees have a right to look elsewhere for a job. I wouldn't want to be working next to say, a backhoe operator who was stoned or wired or drunk...

Is that wrassler guy still Gubernor of Michigan? pronounced "Goober-nor"

Dangit, Nixy- Got me all aroused and my woman is at work. Have y'all seen the movie "Super Troopers"? Love how they made up their own phonetics!

"... in the vicinity of Betelguese" - D. Adams

If you've no time for self-destructive people, why you quote James Dean?

Yes, T.R. was a full-blown Progressive in the best way- he brought about many much-needed reforms and was a conservationist when the country really needed it most. The J.P. Morgans and Collis Huntingtons of the country were put on notice that they were free to be incredibly wealthy, but they...

That was good!

HahAHa- "Gonna do the limbo rock, right around the limbo clock" Chubby Checker, I believe.

Yeah, Prof- you spoke of self-destructive people in another post. That sums up most of the people, unfortunately. When you meet one of those "everything is an opportunity" folks, they really stand out. Train yourself to survive, then bump it up a notch and learn how to thrive!

Got it. Thought it was a typo, but you knew whereof you wrote. Won't catch this flatlander hanging onto any "vertical real estate". But, Prof, if you've no time for self-destructive people, doesn't that rule out just about everyone?

What are free climbers? Did you mean "tree climbers"? Just curious.

Chat ain't dead, it just smells funny. - paraphrased from Frank Zappa

1: Plant and grow more veggies, fruits and edibles than you ever have before. Share the surplus with or trade out with neighbors. 2: Get to know your neighbors, family and friends better. Bring up the idea of bartering goods and services that you used to pay for. There's no shame in it- worked...

Welcome to the ranks. I was bummed for a few days, but have found the extra time exhilarating in a way. One thing that helped me was the simple device of calling myself "self-employed" instead of "unemployed". Job Title: Boss Man; Job Description: Whatever I feel like doing. I know you have a...

"Ma'am" is a very respectful term. Can't fault the General on his manners. If he had adressed a male Senator as "Sir" or "Mister", can't imagine him getting any guff. Of course, she deserves as much respect as any other Senator, but being a stickler for titles comes across as crass and needy...

I'm a Marx fan myself, especially Groucho and Harpo. Not a big fan of Karl, though. All joking aside, would you consider the Roosevelts Marxist? Both T.R., a Republican, and FDR, a Democrat, were accused of being Socialists in their day, T.R. for his trust-busting and Progressive reforms and...
