They are buried in a cemetery in Plattsmouth, Nebraska. My father had seven other siblings who lived int...

Re: What's the difference between an embellishment and a lie?

Pictures don't lie--but they can conceal their source and provenance. I just saw elsewhere a recent pic of this felon wearing a red MAGA hat with the delightful modification of a dollar sign in front of MAGA.

Fred is Back.

Way back in a couple of previous iterations of this community, I was introduced to Fred Reed. He wrote about all kinds of stuff, mostly current events. He was intentionally controversial.

Yo Yo M always sounds like Yo Yo Ma. Interesting observation. I don't know what it means. I do know that in less than one measure of music I know the horn of Satchmo or the sax of Paul Desmond.

I am a member of the IWW (wobblies) although at the moment I can't find my little red book of stamps that show I have supported the good guys., so I cannot claim to be a card-carrying member. But I would like to be a card-carrying member of ANTIFA. Anybody tell where to send my application? snailgate
