Guys, get your heads out of the Russo propaganda. It’s bullshit.

From Tuesday, when Putin said that Ukraine lost 7,000 men, 160 tanks, and 360 armored vehicles in the opening days of the counteroffensive.

Republican Senator Dick Black: “Ukraine’s offensive hit a steel wall. 7,000 KIA, 160 tanks and 360 armored vehicles destroyed in just one w…[Read more]

What Robert said.

I’d like to think that NATO exist to prevent the Putin’s of the world from dictating how I should shower, shit, and shave. That NATO exist to prevent a repeat of what happened in the late 1930’s and early to mid 1940’s. You know what I’m talking about, The Holocaust. That NATO exist to further the interest of the nation…[Read more]

Procter & Gamble, ColgatePalmolive, Coca-Cola, General Motors, Raytheon, Boeing, McDonnell/Douglas. United States financial interest .

Wow! This is like watching The Thrilla’ in Manila.

When I was 15 I left home. I got a job moving furniture and later in the evening pumping gas after school. Rented a furnished bedroom for $25 a week. One of my teachers knew my situation and chose not to report me to Social Services.

One day I got into a fight, kid pulled out a knife and stabbed…[Read more]

Thank you April.

when I read the thing about tattoos I identified immediately because I was the sailor who refused to get one while on liberty in The Philippines. Told everyone that I’d probably feel differently in twenty years.

You’re so right. There is no comparison between that and a fifteen year old getting medical care.

Thanks for the ver…[Read more]

Holy shit! (LOL I said HOLY!)

That was entertaining.Thanks for the heads up. Just sent a link to our daughter.

Thanks. Never tire of Lewis Black.

Loved the show where he said, “If you want to know about the Old Testament there are people walking amongst us called Jews who can tell you all about it.  You’re reading it all wrong. They, the Jews, can help you. Just stop one on the street and he’ll be more than happy to explain it to you…for a fee.”

So when I arise in the wee hours of the morning and I’m in the kitchen brewing us coffee, and I call out to my wife, “Ana! Are you WOKE!” Can I not use the word like that? I know that it’s not the King’s English but growing up in the South Bronx, fresh off the Eastern Airlines jet to Kennedy Airport, It’s how we used it. But with a thick Spanish…[Read more]

“Then I started thinking how some poor kid from the hood had so much against him… just to get here at all, well then maybe the world would be a better place if we let the pendulum swing too far for a good while. My woke moment. For centuries non-whites and queers were screwed. Now there is an expanded war against all LGBTQ folks. Drag shows b…[Read more]

“Woke” has become such a snarl word by those resistant to social progress that it has lost all value (which was perhaps part of the point). I mean, literally anything that reactionaries don’t like can be labeled woke:

• New tax funded shelter for the homeless: wokeness
• Considering abortion for incest rape victims and allow…

Learned about spirituality at an AA meeting.

At the time I was on the fence between deist, atheist, agnostic, etc. So it made sense to “turn my will and my life over to a higher power” to help a brother out with his many addictions. Even let a buddy of mine convince me to take me to a monastery for a weekend where they were practicing and…[Read more]

Can somebody please give me a straight up definition for the NEW word Woke? For the life of me I use to think I knew what the word meant but these days I’m not so sure. It’s like the train pulled away and left me behind.

Feelings: If I, hypothetically speaking because I’m as heterosexual as the day is long, am walking around with a penis but I…[Read more]

Also: “… the entire story hinges on a single “source with direct knowledge of the operational planning.” Supposedly, this source was aware of a top secret task force convened by President Joe Biden to destroy the pipeline. This source is also a legal expert, claiming a Biden…[Read more]

“That would be kewl—new gods. Let the gods of the bible go the way of Zeus and Osiris”

Neil Gaiman – American Gods

Book about all the old forgotten gods bitching about, well, being forgotten. Had another plot to it other than that but gods… bitching… crybaby’s. Loved the book didn’t care for the screenplay. Not the way I imagined it.

Noel, I didn’t know that Jack Kirby called them that. I always thought of Marvel characters as for the most part Humanistically-oriented, with characters and powers that are explainable and at least distantly within the bounds of possibility and probability. Thor, the Asgardians, and Hercules were the only Supernatural b…

someone caught the reactions of some of the other journalist when that “genius “ asked the Biden Woke question. It was priceless. A true WTF Jim, really?
