    Politics CURRENT EVENTS - April

    So could Young Republicans be on that list. The very notion of Young and Republican being linked pretty much strongly implies some sort of impairment of morals and judgment. The very fabric of the Republican platform strongly suggests borderline dementia and paranoia, normally attributes...

    UNC Sports UNC basketball 2026 transfer portal

    Nope. If colleges don't have the right to trade professors, administrators, or coaches, then they shouldn't have the right to trade the employees who play for the revenue generating sports teams. If UNC couldn't trade Dean Smith for John Wooden after the 1968 championship game, then we...

    UNC Sports UNC basketball 2026 transfer portal

    In regard to paying college players and letting them transfer at will without penalty, I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I think it is a good idea. College basketball long ago ceased to be a college thing. It's just a publicly financed showcase for NBA scouts. If the NCAA abolished...

    UNC Sports UNC Basketball Possible coaches - UNC hires ex-Nuggets HC Michael Malone

    I am adamantly opposed to UNC having both the football and basketball coach--the two MAJOR revenue sports--older than I am. Putting persons as old or older than I am in positions of authority and importance is a recipe for DISASTER!

    Pretty much the most concise and on-point characterization of the Trump Administration I have read.

    Off-Topic #OTD in 2017, trump tweets at the Generals: This Date in History

    I never had a particularly high opinion of Ronald Reagan. But then, St. Donald of Mar-a-Lago oozed into power and bitch-slapped me into knowing the damage a genuinely evil person--deeply compromized by foreign goverments who view the United States as just a mark to be exploited--could wreak on...

    Off-Topic #OTD in 2017, trump tweets at the Generals: 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...

    Politics Iran Catch-All | IRAN WAR Two Week CEASEFIRE

    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...

    Politics Iran Catch-All | IRAN WAR Two Week CEASEFIRE

    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...
