  1. quit worrying about the imbeciles. when you have something that can't be fixed, put down your wrench.
  2. If so he'd report it to be 239. at a rally some college kid asked trump what his degree was in. trump said fahrenheit.
  3. all that snow.
  4. this thing is swirling out of control (his control) faster than trump can follow it. the noises we hear from him are the bleatings of tomorrow's barbecue as it feels the first knife break the skin of its throat.
  5. eggs hackly right. democracies had gotten fat and complacent, forgetting what they were about. the analogy with hitler is a good one. if things look bad right now, consider the mood in 1939. if you project the trends at that point, we are all nazis now and still trying to get the german pronunciation down. what happened then is what is going to happen now. we are still in the education period. once all who aren't rotten are aware and involved the whole thing begins to turn, and for a while democracies find their cause. question i have is what do we do with all the rotten shit that can't be cleansed?
  6. i don't recognize the language. is that dogwhistlese?
  7. one reason i am particularly angry about this is that i got suckered, too, in the first go-round. wasn't long till i saw my error.
  8. granted he was good at presenting. almost like he was trained to do that.
  9. ultimately, reagan patted down the grass for trump. natural progression. just like trump, reagan required someone whispering in his ear to even appear competent.
  10. huh? what's that? you say President TeeTee? yeah, i guess so.

    hey, don't mind me. i'm just enjoying watching college football slowly commit suicide. picks up the knife and flicks the edge with its thumb to see that it is still sharp.
  12. iron mike didn't pick up that name at a swap meet.
  13. which one?
  14. league is missing a bet if they don't look at tag team.
  15. i remain disgusted with bill. he spent his life getting into position to be and do something special and then threw it away.
  16. throw in your ball joints and slorch is your man.
  17. my guess is whoever is supposed to keep the qwuijus oiled is awol.
  18. you mean it's not just you?
  19. lunatic fringe finding it harder and harder to make a point.
  20. my bet is we see a rash of coaches going to puny programs for huge guaranteed bucks and then mailing it starting the first season. for the next episode we might look to the east.
  21. you know who has a woodie? 1) art briles 2) red whatsit
  22. ok, but is there a difference between the youngs and the olds? i find that where i am.
  23. i catch your irony, but this subject is interesting to me. i've done a fair amount of reading the past several years of old documents. it's shocking to us to see the casual way words and even people's names were spelled. we are so conditioned to paying attention to spelling that it actually interferes with our understanding what people back then had no trouble with. people spelled phonetically then, and if a word could likely be pronounced correctly, the spelling would be considered adequate. there's an important legal document, so i've read, that has a man's name spelled three different ways. all three spellings would be pronounced about the same, so all was good back then. we are so picky that way that i wonder what affect it would have on the interpretation of a legal document today. back then people's family names got changed sometimes without their knowledge on immigrating to this nation. a scribe would ask the name and the applicant would respond. apparently the scribes would never inquire the spelling but would just write down what it sounded like. it really didn't matter. the family could go right back to using the old spelling. and it wasn't unusual for two or three slightly different spellings to be used by the children of the family. some might stick with middlebrooks, say, while others take the name middlebrook, middlebrooke, or maybe something like mettelbrucken, which might have been the family name before immigrating. with our emphasis on spelling it drives us nuts to study our family backgrounds, and most of us don't have that far to go.
  24. hey, it's possible for people to have very different reasons for why espn and sec are wonderful.
  25. Many legal scholars is three many? lemme see, did i get it right? moe. larry. curly. yep, three.
