    Off-Topic Three NC Congressmen refuse to sign on to "Southern Manifesto," 1956: This Date in History

    The last paragraph of the clipped article states, "Some Southern Senators have stated that if the Democratic National Convention should take a strong stand in favor of integration, a third party movement might arise in the South." WOW! They were completely wrong. Why go to the bother of...

    When I was in basic training at Ft. Jackson, SC, a bunch of us Southerners were shooting the breeze, and the conversation inevitably turned to snakes. And another trainee, from Boston and with a thick Boston accent, said, "What is with you guys from the South? You can't talk for more than five...

    Really! 75 snakes? How small must one's penis be if they have to compensate by owning 75 snakes?

    The above is pretty much the only part of your post I read. If I ever go anywhere that spitting cobras inhabit, I'll go back and read your last sentence. Also, I sure there is some "Florida Man" who has tired of keeping his momma and papa spitting cobras as pets and is getting ready to turn...

    Who knew America would give Donald Trump a second shot at being President after he was so disastrously incompetent the first time?

    I know that is a Northern Water Snake. And even if I didn't, I would accept as true your representation that it was a Northern Water Snake. But, if I had been in your position and even if I was taking this shot with a 1,000 mm telescopic lens on a tripod, then I would have run away like a...

    So we are stripping South Korea of equipment and supplies in order to oppose an manical dictator half a world away. What could possibly go wrong with that scenario? Hint: His father was a bigger cheat at golf than St. Donald of Mar-a-Lago is, once setting a course record of 18 consecutive...

    I learned a new phrase today: "Sundown Town." I had never heard of the term before. I was familiar with the concept because I grew up in the South and because I lived in Chattanooga, TN for a few years. While the "Sundown Town" of Sand Mountain is not actually located on the geographical...

    Politics The Trump cult

    I am not disagreeing with either you or OMB, but, for me it is difficult to untangle the interplay between stupidity and the Kompromat that, AT A MINIMUM, Russia, Israel, and China have on St. Donald. But also, putting yourself in situations where Kompromat can be collected on you is a special...

    Link: U.S. Eases Limits on Russian Energy as Oil Prices Soar Saw the headline in this article and thought that Vlad "the Ras" Putin is probably going to promote whoever it was in the KGB who alerted the Soviet Union of the opportunity to gather Kompromat when St. Donald of Mar-a-Lago was in...

    I hope the next time St. Donald of Mar-a-Lago takes questions from reporters, someone asks St. Donald, "What does Zelenskyy's ass taste like?"

    I see stuff like this and think, "Damn, somebody hurt them badly when they were kids" and think of Graham Nash's song, "Teach Your Children Well."

    I just glanced at this and mistakenly read the last line as "He also performed his impressions of Gertrude Stein and Ezra Pound among others. My immediate thought was, "Damn! I would have paid good money to see that."

    That $200M that Noem spent on make-up, hair extensions, a saddle, and a horse seem modest in comparison. And I bet no Americans died during the making of Noem's commercial. Q: When Trump canned Noem for trying to throw him under the bus for the commercial, did the government let her keep the...
