Well, if that's what the legislature wants...clearly young women need to start carrying. and learn to shoot straight.

So tell me: what's your favorite piece of apparently useless information? Bonus points if you want to see it used in fiction.

I now know how lampshades are made. I've learned more about poultry processing that you'll ever want to know. I know the steps to arm and trigger a Claymore mine. I can hotwire a bulldozer.

I'm thinking tonight about my old mentor, in law and in life, who taught me "no information is permanently useless to a litigator."
I later expanded that to include fiction writing.

His name is Ron Johnson
He lives in Wisconsin
He comes to the Senate from there
The people he meets
When he's out on the streets
Go "Jesus Christ how fucking dumb ARE you?"

Pedophiles Protectors...

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

If you ever wondered where Calvin of Calvin and Hobbes went when he grew up...

Please do not invite Gary Abernathy back onto your broadcast. He is a shameless liar and Trump shill.

Does anyone really think that sending that belligerent asshole Tom Homan to Minneapolis is going to calm a damn thing down?

Take ICE's guns away. The bad apples will leave.

Back in the day, a snow day was a snow day. You got to go out and play. Now it means "remote learning."

I feel for the youth of today.

God, I love this song.

There was one kid who literally called every five minutes. I told him, "I promise you, kid, if we get the word, it'll be on the radio immediately. Just listen." He responded, "I don't listen to your stupid station!"

Folks in radio in the 21st century: are these calls still a thing?

All of the weather kerfuffle reminds me of my days in radio back in the late 1970s, early 1980s. If there was even a hint of snow in the forecast, the phones would be ringing constantly with kids asking "is school cancelled?"

Currently readiing a biography of Samuel Adams, and one of the takeaways is "Don't fuck with Boston." They're a feisty lot.

Remember when "abolish ICE" was considered by the Democratic party leadership to be political suicide?

You can take the boy out of the Pharisees, but you can't take the Pharisee out of the boy.

Most of the shitty stuff in Christian doctrine isn't from Jesus, it's from St. Paul's letters. And those letters were picked from all of the other potential sources by men with their own doctrinal agendas.

A reminder how ICE treats priests.

This is no longer a Department of Justice. It is a lawless ministry of oppression.

Andrew Jackson has entered the chat.

First couple of episodes, I was going "well, you know, everyone's happy, there's no more war or crime, maybe this isn't such a bad thing," Then it got more & more horrifying. The scene with the goat in the finale clinched it. They only look cheerful long enough to get you. After that: blank & cold.

Here's a pic of conservatives 'complying' with law enforcement

Sounds similar. My sympathies.

Bend that knee
Bow that head
Obey all orders or they'll shoot you dead
We gotta Felon ruling us by royal decree
Ain't it great to be living in the land of the free

I was taking OTC Niacin and one night got the "Niacin flush." Is a hot flash anything like that? Because if so, goddamn.

Are we the only people who watch the experts interviewed on PBS Newshour, scan the books on the shelves behind them, and make judgments?
