Re: Katie Britt’s Shtick Abides
Britt reminds me of that 70's movie The Stepford Wives. That had terrible acting too.

Re: The Folly of Adjectives
How could one describe Marjorie Taylor Greene without using emphatic adjectives? The automatic temptation for me is to say she's nuts. I don't think that's too emphatic. But if I'm more thoughtful about it, I have to say that she consistently says and does nutty things, and that I perceive her as n...

Re: Criminalization of Homelessness
Hey Ajax, CNN reporting 400 arrests in 24 hours of pro-Palestinian protesters on college campuses. Why is the deep state is allowing this? It's not the deep state. Apparently, Jesus is in charge. I guess he wanted Obama, too, that rascally messiah. So that means that Obama is controlling Biden, and...

The Folly of Adjectives
Are you happy? I heard that question a lot when I was young (often in the context of religion and whether you were living the life recommended to give you the happiness you might be lacking... but that's a digression). It's not a question I've heard much lately, probably because people recognize th...

Re: The Court Just Sealed Everyone’s Fate, Including Its Own
I still can't decide whether cults make people stupid, or stupid people are attracted to cults. I've known examples of both, listening to right-wingers over time.

Re: Infer, Imply, Affect, Effect - Those Terms.
To imply means to suggest, or allude to something. To infer is to derive an unspoken meaning. Someone might imply something to me, and if I'm sharp, I'll infer what they are implying. Affect is a verb, while effect is a noun. So, I can affect some outcome by intervening somehow. If someone does some...

Re: the Supreme Court Seems Likely to Make Pregnancy More Dangerous in Red States
It was already obvious, but anyone who wants to claim they're pro-life when they're willing to let women die is damned retarded.
damned religion. It's cultural poison.

Re: Traveling Back in Time
Very few people who call themselves "pro-life" actually are. It's far more accurate to call them pro-control, pro-fascism and pro-ignorance.

Re: Why so Much Unjustified Belief In Trump's Honesty?
When the vast majority of your worldview is fabricated, and someone comes along and lies his ass off in order to validate your fabrication, that's going to seem like "honesty." I've always known a large portion of humanity valued comfort over truth, but never has that lesson been more impactful than...
