“He was never nice to the Obamas,” said The Hill opinion writer Tara Dublin. “He also looks & sounds like he died last week but no one wants to tell him.”

Looks, sounds, and by all accounts smells like he died last week.

I took Tuesday and Wednesday off.

Aside from voting, I have some other things to do on Tuesday.

Wednesday is reserved for just sitting and staring. Perhaps some rocking back and forth and curling up in the fetal position. I’ll see how it goes.

As long as the store isn’t a 24x7 operation, at some point they will want to close. If you’re still there, they’ll ask you what you want.

At that point, you panic and run home.

Hopefully the current president won’t be as pathetic as the one who was in the Whitehouse the last time the fascists tried to overthrow the government.

Ridiculous. If your number is skipped, you pick another number and keep waiting.

It was a John Birch Society talking point at one time. It was condemned as a communist conspiracy. Of course. Just like civil rights are a communist conspiracy.

Anyway. A few years ago I discovered that my home town newspaper had digitized all the old issues and made them searchable online. I decided to search for family members.

Found my dad mentioned in a report of a hearing on fluoridation. He was talking about it being a communist plot.

Edit:

I just listened to this episode of revisionist history recently. If you aren’t familiar with the beginnings of the shit show we’re living in, you might find it interesting and/or horrifying.

I can’t be sure, but I think that look means, “you post it, you die.”

If you don’t have a car that can drive in snow, don’t drive in snow.

Last blizzard I was in, I had to pull over to try to help two people get up a small hill.

The first woman was afraid to steer while me and and a tow truck driver pushed her up. She wanted one of us to steer her car, but that just couldn’t happen. She ended up paying the tow truck driver more than $300 to tow her.

While that was going on, a Honda Civic ended up sliding backwards down the hill. I pushed that one about 100ft along the road until it leveled out enough to move on its own.

We have a Civic, but it sits in the driveway for blizzards.

If you get serious snow where you’re moving, and you have to drive, get something with all wheel drive. Just remember that all wheel drive doesn’t mean you can stop. You still need to drive like a Granny in Sunday church traffic.

For a little while longer.

My father-in-law had a brother who looked just like him. His brother was, of course, at his funeral.

My young daughtern did not know that grampop had a brother who looked like him.

She told us afterwards that she was freaked out by this at his funeral.

Gingrich, who faced his own scandals, cited Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s recent split from the Democrats as further proof of disillusionment with what he sees as their corrupt influence.

Seriously? He thinks the brain worm guy leaving the Democratic party to side with the Republicans is proof that the Democrats are bad?

Came here to say that exact thing. If only he would read it.

Bowties are cool.

The bowtie wasn’t the problem.

It’s the person that makes it uncool.

I’d argue that the fact that he stopped wearing the bowties when he was mocked for it says more about him than the bowties do.

Yes, just what we need! Finally there’s one source of news without that left wing bias!

We often only get a couple trick-or-treaters every year, and this year was no different, except we left the front door open all night, which means we heard and saw kids walking past our house.

I’m one of the few groups that came to our porch, I heard one girl whisper to her friends, “that’s the creepy house”

So, I guess our house is the haunted house of the neighborhood. I’d be ok with that if we actually had any ghosts.

We’ve been here for over 140 years, and I’ve never seen a single ghost.

Always has been.

So, one more item in the “Pro” column for voting against Trump.

Then maybe we can work on fixing the problems here.

Wear gloves when they hand you that guideline because they might be pulling it out of their ass.

I’m tall and long in the torso. The last serious car accident I was in my head bashed against the ceiling in a frightening way. Or, it would have been frightening if I had any memory of it. I had a brush burn on my forehead which could only have happened if my head was pushed way back from hitting the ceiling. Before you ask, I always wear a seatbelt.

Anyway, that’s not why I’m replying. I’m generally ok with car headrests, although I usually have to lean the seat back pretty far to just fit in.

I bought a new office chair. I specifically chose one without a headrest, but it showed up with one anyway. At it’s highest adjustment it sits right between my shoulders.

The world seems designed to fit such a narrow range of people.

Why would she lie when she had a perfectly valid excuse?

Because she thinks her skin color will protect her.
