Chris Knight singing a Robert Earl Keen song. Brutally beautiful. Chris has written some damn good songs himself.

I just want to see UNC games live and that's pretty much it. How can I single that out is my question. Right now I pay for YTTV, but only use it for a little sports on Saturday and Sunday.

I will not, if at all possible, become a financial burden on my wife or my stepson. If I have learned anything, it is to prepare accordingly and even...have significant direction over end of life choices (including when end of life occurs).

I took care of my mom in my own house (when I was single) for close to five years, then had live in (Hispanic, probably undocumented, wonderful human being) help for her in a rental unit beside where I lived with a then girlfriend. My wife (different person), her son and I moved into her...

And let me just say, the Ukraine and Poland and the Baltic states...well they just got "bitch slapped" in the years leading up to WWII and then during the war.

Just finished Bloodlands. Astonishing and...just astonishing. The afterword of the newest version of the book is so insightful and connected to today. I just can't recommend enough. History must inform the present and the future. And I'm now off to read his little, but popular book aptly named...

When a drone takes out a squad of physically strong men, do you want the drone piloted by a female or a male?

I would prefer that a super hot woman carry me out and then offer a BJ at some later date. Since beggars can't be choosers I'll take ANYONE who can get me out of the house. What is this "preferred" nonsense? What about a gay black Muslim? Do you prefer them or not? Answer the question!!!!

Has anyone read the book Badlands? I'm listening to it while I drive from WS to Durham on a regular basis and it is astonishing in its narrative of wanton killing (mostly unrelated to WW II) by Stalin and Hitler. What's really scary is how, at least to how Snyder portrays things, both...

I believe fear is the simple driving factor towards embracing a "strong man" approach to government. Fear of change, fear of not creating a better life, fear of other, all magnified by orders of magnitude by social media. The strong man's team recognizes this and responds accordingly. The fear...

Are the markets whistling by the graveyard, or am I being overly influenced by my negative reaction to Federal economic choices?

I choose to believe this. It alleviates the anger and is much healthier than alcohol.
