Tell me where and how to send it. snailgate.

Can somebody check the local weather report from Hell? Has there been been a sudden drop in temperature? I can agree with Liberty.

Trump is an idiot and a fool. But he is a very effective propagandist and purveyor of fantasy.

I suspect the new Canadian Prime Minister can even find Lesotho on a map.

Yes, Liberty, but. Defend is a big word. Every country has a right to defend its borders---with atomic warhead containing land mines? The right to ignore international treaties on refugees that the US Senate has confirmed? The internment camps in Gitmo look to me alot like concentration camps. The b...

I heard it, and I hope you heard it too! Trump told the world he is removing all those unelected bureaucrats from power in our federal government.

So I expect to read in the headlines tomorrow that Elon Musk has moved back to Texas to resume his job as ticket agent for flights to Mars.

What is the DM website? Thanks, Snailgate

So Art II of the constitution says the Prexy can do whatever he wants in foreign policy and we can wait for the next election. Short memory. Am I the only one who remembers filling out government security questionnaires that went on for pages: re you now or have your ever been a member any of these ...

February 28 is NATIONAL TOOTH FAIRY DAY. Last night I put a quarter under my pillow. This morning I looked and it was still there. No new tooth. In as much as the tooth fairy is nocturnal, perhaps I was a day early, or perhaps I did not take inflation into account. So I dug around in my sock drawer ...

I don't watch award shows. just don't.

Thank you Scooter, for posting this here.

Most puzzling. Your chosen name is "Liberty" That seems to be like the real estate developer who buys a parcel of hilly land covered with trees, levels it and removes all the trees, builds the new housing, and then calls the place 'hilly grove'. The federal government has only those powers granted t...

I wish I could disagree with BSG. I am challenged to find the meaning of 'bunglecunt' But it is hard for me to be civil with my sister "who does her own research and votes for the best man, not the party." trump says in a public meeting with politicos "I AM the law." when discussing an executive ord...

The highly trained and experienced DOGE continues to shoot itself in the foot. They could not figure out how to shut down much of the science grants--but they thought they could cripple them by cancelling all 'overhead' payments. I have a friend on staff at Syracuse University whose professional and...

BSG I absolutely approve of you voting with your checkbook and time. Me, I prefer to judge a book by what I find in it. Some of my friends strongly object to the all works of Orson Scott Card because of his homophobia. I choose to recommend some of his works (such as Speaker for the Dead) because I ...

After the death of Sir Terry, I read several of the things published posthumously. They seemed weak and strained. So I moved on. Thank you Gen'l, for this reminder. I found Good Omens on my kindle and I probably read it at least 20 years ago. I went back to it. I am enjoying it. It is great fun unta...

And I have not seen the movie. I read the book only once, so I am a very unreliable witness. But still an interesting plot twist.

Isn't there a movie tie-on for this? I think it is called 'Conclave' and i read the book. The book ended with very near the last page revealing that the newly elected pope was trans.

Your tax dollars at work. For more than 40 years I have been setting my clocks and various time pieces using the US Naval Observatory as my standard. I even once visited the place, It is also the Vice President's official residence in DC.. The phone number is 202-762-1401. I have even called via lan...

Community standards, please. review. Of Course. Musk is X. It is his community. We know what the standards of his community of concubines and children are. Just another modern example of the more than century old rule from Mark Twain: Never argue with a man who buys ink by the barrel. snailgate.

And what about the Delmarva Peninsula? Could we go North too? Would love to see passports required to visit Rehobeth. Our potatoes could join Canadian tomatoes.

I like Delaware for its proximity to Philly and Baltimore and the many nearby cultural events associated with local history and the many local post-secondary schools. The Maryland subsidized commuter train to DC is cheap. And for retirees, the taxes are pretty decent. Non-retirees from adjacent thre...
