The expression "he wouldn't actually join the lynching party, but he might buy a piece of the rope as a souvenir," strikes me as the attitude a lot of Republicans are drifting towards in regard to St. Donald of Mar-a-Lago. These people were despicable before St. Donald and they will be...

My maternal grandfather was in the Army before, during, and after WWI. Except for a period when he was in far western Siberia during WWI ("AEF Siberia") he was stationed in the Philippines. My mother was born in the Philippines and lived there until her early to mid-teens. When I was growing...

Never went there, never even heard of it before your post. But, . . ., www.cupojane.biz

I'm prepared to cut Patel some slack here. Given his personal appearance and personality, his girlfriend may be the only woman on Earth he will ever have a chance with. Extreme measures to keep her happy are probably required.

So, how many "Revolutionary Guards" had to assemble before they had enough courage to take on one woman? My guess, at least a dozen before they could be sure she wouldn't kick their asses.

When I was growing up, my father owned and operated a small wholesale grocery store in Eastern NC. His key customer base were the little country stores shattered around Eastern NC like daffodils in a spring lawn. While I can't remember exactly how many, but I believe at least a third served...

Not to quibble, but have you ever seen a right-winger that wasn't antagonized? Right-wingers' status as being aggrieved is perpetual. What a horrible way to live. Just yesterday, I was driving on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Periodically I had to pull over at viewing spots just to marvel at how...

Any day learn something new is a good day. Also, I looked it up, . . ., just to make sure.

I predict a legislative redistricting push by the GOP in the near future.

I outlived all three of my grandparents and both my parents. All of them suffered from cognitive decline prior to passing. None of them were as bad as Donald Trump is now.

One summer while in college, I worked a job where my direct supervisor (a black man) had previously been a moonshine runner and the evening security guard (a white man) was a retired policeman. Sitting in the breakroom hearing them swap stories about when one of them had fooled the other was...

Well, I buy stuff at Walmart and none of the Walmart heirs know me. Just because this crypto guy purchased a pardon at Trumpmart doesn't mean that St. Donald of Mar-a-Lago knows him.

Hickory, to LA.

Based on the sign showing the distance to California, I'm thinking this cartoon may have been set just outside Wilmington, NC

What!?!? Are you sure? I distinctly remember Ralph Kramden operated a bus, but Fred Flintstone operated a dinosaur. Totally different skill sets. Further, Jackie Gleason did ads for Old Gold cigarettes but Fred Flintstone did ads for Winstons. I can still remember that catchy Winston...
