OK, let me ask it another way. Another poster said" The thing the government wants from Apple isn't to crack the code, but to write software" Software that does not exist now. Just how does the federal government force a corporation or an individual to produce a product that neither they nor anyone ...

Was that last scene "You can take this job and shove it!"?

I experienced one of those yesterday evening. It has been a while and I had forgotten just how good it feels. A national chain bicycle store ran an ad for half off on a general spring tune-up for your bike, ending Feb 27. So I took my bike in and they ran me to the back of the store where the shop a...

Yes regrets. We have a few. The Republican Senators stand firmly on principle and demand that appointment to the Board of Supremes not be even considered until after this election cycle, when the voters have spoken. What are they gonna do if the voters have spoken and it is a Democrat sitting until ...

Me, I only wish I could remember when I was 57.

A smart dog means alot more work for the rest of the family. Sort of like having a really smart kid in the household. Both can be much more interesting and fun.

So how is the dog generally? Around here "Collie" even in a mixed breed, means lots of health problems.

I have been puzzled by all of the GOP tv debates. The moderator starts the program, like the referee on the old Friday nite tv Boxing programs--gives the participants a brief admonition to play by the rules and be nice. After describing the time allotments and light system, it is all abandoned. Rare...

Just where does Denny's have an early bird special Not around here. I go for the $4.00 breakfast with 15% AARP discount

Well Gen'l, I have decided to reply to your question about 'what non-Christian. . . ' The officially recognized founder of this tradition answered the question of 'what do you believe?' from a reporter for the Chicago Tribune with a two word answer: All Truth. For most of our history we have been cl...

Thank you, Gal, for the post above. The religious tradition which I grew up in asserted that it was of little import what you believe. The thing that mattered was what you did. Bernie above reflects the best of the Judeo-Christian spirituality.

Ah Yes, Lord Jim, the glory days of Saint Ronnie. "They first confidently started hanging crepe for the GOP after the Goldwater Debacle in '64... Four years later we won back the Presidency, and four years after that our incumbent President won 49 states and 61% of the popular vote..." Dear conserva...

We all, to an extent fall for con artists. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0525427414?keywords=The%20Confidence%20Game%2C’%20by%20Maria%20Konnikova&qid=1456330505&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1 or http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/10/books/review/the-confidence-game-by-maria-konnikova.html Mr. Trump os a very suc...

Please tell us more. Will this referendum, if it is overwhelmingly to get out, require the Republic of Ireland to remove itself from the EU? What is the degree of independence for the Republic from the UK? Or do political writers from the UK prefer to pretend Northern Ireland is the only Ireland? Sn...

Was this ultimate vehicle the smuggler model (with the machine gun mount at the back) or the police model (with the machine gun mount in the front)?

Perhaps you could spend some time reading that constitution, with particular attention to the 9th and 10th amendments and the matter of standing. The Supremes initiate nothing, not regulation, not social policy, not economic policy. This is a federal court of last resort, for disputes that have been...

And on an aside mentioned a couple of times above, I would not recommend a new Craftsman brand anything. It is not what it was 20 years ago, or even 5 years ago.Most Craftsman tools now are barely guaranteed til you get beyond the door of the store. Sears Holding Company just tries to keep the banke...

Please note. This phone was in the possession of the local sheriff department before the feds got their hands on it. Some hack (hack as a noun once used to mean a lazy worker who performed badly) in that office CHANGED the password on this phone before the FBI got it, and nobody knows what the new p...

Well Ray, I was a bit put off by the editing, wondering if the two others portrayed in the video said anything interesting beyond "I come from planet earth." Can't we all just get along? Well no, because we are humans together on planet earth and we all prefer to find somebody who is US and other so...

Daffodil is rarely in bloom on this side of the pond March first. Only weak, frail things nurtured in a hothouse and an insult to any Welshman.
