"Starting each day with the Pledge of Allegiance. I repeat my self, but why? Does that not imply that something happened last night to free me of the obligations of yesterday's pledge?

I have not tried confirm it, but Sunday in a zoom discussion of Hitler and the collapse the Weimar republic, the statement was made that in Vanity Fair in 1990 there was an interview with Trump's first wife (as they were in a messy divorce) in which Ivana claimed Donald always cared around a book, s...

Still lust after the Golden Hawk. I think if you have a big enough sack of money, there is an outfit in Texas that will build you an new Avanti. snailgate.

Blessings of college radio. This morning I was introduced to 'The Kings of Mongrel Folk' with their wonderful rendering of a Sophocles drama made famous by Siggy Freud and they recreated it as a cowboy shootout ballad. https://mongrelfolk.com/music-ala-mongrel I love the refrain: Oedipus Rex. Oedipu...

My life is better because Scooter posts here. Thank you. Snailgate

So, tell me more. I love boiled carrots. What/how is the beef included? snailgate

Me too, Meade, but I would prefer to send an old fashioned personal check, if you would post a personal message to me with your snail-mail address
(quick, before the current general post master decides to end retail service.)

If she wins, Trump will have the FBI seize the ballots because she obviously stuffed the boxes (all over the state of Illinois) with votes from invaders from Greenland. Snailgate.

State of the Union address next Tuesday evening. Is this where we will hear that the United States of America is at war with Iran, even though Congress, which is the body (not the 'unitary executive" ) that has the duty of sending the nation to war. Last Tuesday we observed 'Presidents Day' even tho...

As per Matthew 6:1-5. Do it quietly, anonymously Snailgate.

Just one more marker on the long road of monetization. I watch: "Live, From New York (on tape) IT'S STEVEN CORBAY !" One of my favorite christmas albums is a collection of traditional music, all produced and generated on an early Apple computer using a program written by the producer and performer n...

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
