“Be on the alert in this area. Suspect is heavily armed, wearing body armor, and is incredibly stupid. Approach with caution. Avoid laughing directly at the suspect.”

Very nice essay. Well done. Thanks for posting it here.

Of course, now they’re on to you and there’s nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.

Oops. I gotta be more critical when I see these memes. He'd lose eighty-plus billion if he gave everyone on the planet ten bucks. He could give eight point seven people a billion and still have more...

Not a historian, and likely wrong, but I remember that as the first instance of a sniper shooting random strangers in a surprise ambush.

I’ve been told that past a certain age available men are in short supply, partcularly for women who are likely to have outlived a husband, and the competition amongst them can be vigorous, even for...

I think a case can be made that he did at least some of the damage of his presidency* out of sheer cruelty or meanness toward the people and vindictiveness toward Obama, because of the famous joke at...

AND, If Musk gave everyone a billion, he's still have more than Bezos.

None of whom are being investigated or are under indictment or sworn to secrecy or have taken the fifth on anything. Highly not suspicious.

What’s eventually going to be funny about trmp’s demise will be when he’s ‘issuing statements’ sitting on a cot in cell, wearing the matching orange jumpsuit, going on, ranting about ‘this prison...

All those also-rans were viable at the time and are discounted now because they weren't the one who made it all the way to the bigs. But any of them would be hot again with the right circumstances,...

You're right, and I mostly agree. I casually snagged a meme because it pushed my plutarchs are evil button. I am not in the camp that thinks we should have the same price of gas from one decade to...

Whether the photo of gas pump prices is misleading or not, the gist of the meme is still provocative. Oil companies have posted record profits while the price of gas fluctuates unfavorable for...

After following this thread for this long I decided to look up the derivation of the term. A nineteenth century term, a brake was colloquial for a small horsedrawn wagon, and a shooting brake was one...

Allow me to explain why that’s wrong, though it seems right to you. A fact is normally taken to mean a simple, as opposed to compound or complex thing. Biden is the current president. That statement...

Yeah, but it's soooo strange considering the pandemic has been over for a while now...

Doesn't matter. Same principle, same reason. Same god or not. Saying you are means squat unless you are. Talk is cheap. Take it completely out of context of religion—calling youself an engineer means...

Thou shalt not take the Lord thy God's name in vain, does not mean don't say 'Goddammit.'

How about some specifics?

Bearing in mind the git's narcissism, maybe he thought he could pull off a second term without the shenanigans, by the sheer force of his power over his loving, admiring, worshipping base. Lot's of...

Xi is a weak autocrat, and in the same position as Putin? Really?

When I was in Taipei, or on a mountain top north of it, in a top secret secure comms facility with radio coverage of all of the Chicom mainland, and with a dedicated direct secure comms link to NSA,...

I've wondered before why the authorities don't use carbon monoxide gas for execution. It isn't poison, isn't toxic per se, it just deprives the body of oxygen. From the little bit I've heard of it,...

The Rs will get rid of things like Social Security, which a lot of Americans rely on if we let them. Should the Ds cave and compromise to show they can, or continue to protect this and other vital...

An apt metaphor for the theme of the movie.

I was in my late twenties when it came out. I seem to remember it being a big deal when it was aired on network prime time. Haven’t seen it since.

In case it hasn’t been mentioned yet, the signifacance of the war-caused hike in fuel prices is that that automatcally inflates the cost of not just gas at the pump for drivers, but also for...

If the Rs had their way, the VA would be gutted, the budget slashed. Just like they want to do with Social Security and Medicare 'entitlements.' As if those funds didn't come from your every paycheck...

This is part of the problem. The dead cop, or if the suspect had been killed, both are one of our own. The mayor thinks his city workers including the cops are a family, and he's thereby making the...

When it’s to sit and relax and I give my Wife the heads-up where I’ll be, I tell Her, “I’m going out to porchify.”

Perfect example of why the common people, all over the planet, not just Americans (hallowed be thy dollar) need, no need, to have a mthrfckng revolution. Because we need industrialist capitalists to...

What's funny is that the members of the throng are happy to spend money for the opportunity.

You'd have to be delusional, or a moron, to equate being a good president with being a carnival barker that can draw a throng to a rally.

That’d be one big pile of candy, a billion Snickers bars.

I'm not sure, I'm not a statistician, but it seems like the only way to guarantee a winning ticket by buying three hundred million of them would be if no one else bought any, and there were only...
