Going by his name, I've always assumed Jesus was Mexican.

Or Puerto Rican; my wife has a cousin and and uncle both named Jesus.

Come on Sue, you don't recall the NYPD guy after the WTC? I think I must have heard God Bless America on the news more than a hundred times.

And, of course, there was The Singing Detective.

From what I have read, the Texas law specifically requires proof that the person knew they could not vote for a conviction--it is not enough that the person voted when they were ineligible. Indeed, it appears the Texas legislature mad this requirement fairly clear, and statements were made during th...

The sad thing is that it appears that the guy has a a fairly decent voice and could do something a lot better than that ridiculous arrangement. And, even sadder, that he or someone else posted that performance.

Sophomoric? Certainly. But you take your laughs, small or big, where you find them. Somehow, I could easily see Steven Cobert making this exact joke (he's made far more sophomoric ones about Trump in his monologues) and he's paid millions.

Were they killed or turned into zombies? Is there a difference? I think I saw that movie. And, FWIW, it reminds me of the Vietnamese and what they did to the french planters (and the Vietnamese had a lot less melanin), or what we later di to the Vietnamese a bit later (and while we had many "high me...

I just saw this new HBO documentary yesterday; it covers Alex Jones (an idiotic broadcaster of some asinine show called "Infowars" who kept pushing the theory that the sandy hook massacre was a hoax planned by the government to take our firearms, and kept it up, attacking the families for over 10 ye...

I've seen the same thing; it is safer and the bonus is that the fines are a good way to pay for the road maintenance.

Liberty--who are "liberal researchers" and how do you characterize them as such? As for Do you agree with these liberals that a person’s racial identity can be determined by looking at his skull? I have not researched it and I do not know. But we were talking about DNA genotypes before, and I do kno...

Imagination? Sounds more like common sense to me.

Sue--that sounds like one of the circles that should have been gotten rid of a while ago--lots of traffic and ramps. Is still think circles work best on less traveled roads ad save the need for traffic lights; in light-medium traffic, they are easier to navigate than stop sign crossing a main road. ...

I'm sorry that you find my perception uncomfortable, and I remind you I made no definite statements, but what is, is. I'm sorry I wasn't more clear; it doesn't make me uncomfortable. But, I do find it ridiculous. I am sorry if that is an inconvenient truth. With regard to racial groups it is not a ...

Just the white man's burden.

What an ass.

(or "circle" as we call them here)

I have also heard them called rotaries, but I think that might be from people who originally lived a bit west of NJ.

[quoteH]oe, I don't know about that; his nose, skin, and lips look Caucasian like, that is Western Eurasian, but his hair I'm not sure. On second look I'm not too sure of his nose either. It would be interesting to see a microscopic cross section of his hair and his DNA profile[/quote] Is hair and n...

When I worked as a safety consultant in the chemical industry (back in the days when slide rules were almost as common as calculators), the joke was that engineers calculate everything to the fourth or fifth decimal place (they usually had he calculators) and then double or triple it for a safety fa...

BB--thanks for the update.

BSG--I have no doubt about that; science illiteracy is pretty common.

I just heard about it; Baltimore will feel the effects for a long time. I heard it was a tanker that hit the bridge, but haven't heard anything about an oil spill.

True--but it reminds me of the old George Carlin joke--if Jesus had been around now [60s/70s] all the kids in catholic school would wear electric chairs around their necks.

I don't know--using the cross, a symbol of execution (with no other uses AFAIK) to sell food is quite strange. What's next, guillotine displays to celebrate Bastille Day?
