My 20 year old grandson introduced me to Drop Kick Murphy about a year ago and I did not find the music very interesting. That is/was an old geezer response. I am gonna have to buy this album. For my grandson, '4 Dead in Ohio' is boring prehistoric. I need to make the effort to bridge the difference...

By the way, the Washington Post today had an interesting little item pointing out that the Official Federal holiday calendar still calls this day George Washington's Birthday. It has never been official changed to 'president day ' and so far Trump has not noticed.

BSG, I have been retired now for about 10 years. I finally turned in my ministerial alliance card last year when I could no longer preach without word, for word written notes. with color hints in the margin. I know I am getting rusty in many ways. But lot of stuff I was exposed to said burn-out come...

"no comparable sign language developed anywhere else on Earth" Sort of an extreme statement. Why not ASL? or the sign language developed in Western Catholic monastaries after vows of total silence became typical in the middle ages in Europe?

I remember a line of dialogue from Al Capp in Li'l Abner newspaper comic strip, describing the MGTD: every part that falls off is Finest British Workmanship. Every time a senior member of the Trump administration speaks in public, it is a finest example of the wisdom and honor and dignity of that Ad...

Yet, the business report is that the opening weekend sales were better than any previous "documentary" It is always word-of-mouth that is more influential at the box office than critic reports. This may be a better predictor of the election next fall than the votes in the recent special election in ...

Thanks for posting MG, good to know you are still around. I heard Ricky Skaggs "Gone Home' on the radio this morning and it tore me up. Maybe just cabin fever from being snowed in for the last week. But most of my friends have Gone Home and I get into a depression spiral wondering why I am still her...

In Texas, as in most parts of America, Voters frequently do not vote for people they like. They vote AGAINST the person they dislike tube most.

No, I was wondering if my daughter-in-law could sue me for support or abandonment

Not everyone hats Td Cruz. Only those people who know him.

Thank you. That sort of goes to my observation that almost nobody in the USofA practices their religion religiously ()my dictionary has for definition 2 • with consistent and conscientious regularity

I am probably snowed in for another day. I am bored. Dangerous condition, I have too much time to think weird thoughts, leading to a legal question. When i married I acquired brothers and sisters-in law. As time went on I added sons and daughters -in-law. What is the law? What legal duties do we hav...

Mr. Liberty, you do NOT remember correctly, Many big names on the right had children who pulled strings to get out of the draft. They were certainly 'outed ' by the left as 'chicken hawks.' Joan Baez was scorned by many on the left for her lack of support for her husband after he went to jail as a w...

Andy, I ask you a few simple questions. Is this trial in Texas? Is the incident commander a sworn police officer? Considering these two questions, the answer is clear--whatever the incident command does is perfectly ok. Perfectly. Just like the national C-in-C has declared that anything ICE does is ...

I still am thinking gloom and doom for the bi-election this fall. Reality seems to have no impact on the American voters. Trump has behaved consistently all his life. We know nothing about his wisdom, morality, ethics, goals in life, that was not known about him in 2015, Yet he still gets elected an...

ICE arrested a person who 'demonstrated' in a church that uses an ICE agent as a volunteer lay-pastor, sort of. I am not very well informed about this. To me it appears that she may actually have been appropriatly taken in by ICE. BUT that is never enough ICE distributed her picture. Then later they...

I predict Rahm Emanuel (former Ambassador to Japan) will announce he is running for President.

I heard parts of this speech on my car radio as I was running errands this morning. I was not surprised at the various individuals who said to him "Sir I want you to know. . . . " and also the '"not many people know. . . " because these phrases always introduce another unbelievably unbelievable fals...

Are you fascinated by obscure words? I strongly recommend 'Guilty By Definition' by Suzie Dent. It is an English style who-dun-it centered on the fictional editorial staff of a fictional version of the Oxford English Dictionary. Every chapter is headlined with a word I have never seen before. For ex...

Now I am slightly puzzled. Only slightly because this is testing my ability to accept that the Leader of the Free World, and the legally elected President of the USofA is really that (stupid? evil? crazy?) I have seen on my computer screen, selected by some algo, not me, that Trump has informed the ...
