Almost everything?
That right field corner, too. Every so often a ball skitters along the wall for a triple or homer.
And no wire hangers! Ever! (Thank you for your attention to this matter.)
Questions like: what are this guy's qualifications? And what idiots approved him for this position?
It's not the crime. It's not the coverup. It's the revelation of the problem that's the sin.
Hopperesque. (Except for the locale.)
Of course, being a Sox fan, this scares me a little (what with innings, etc.).
Come to the "Quiet Corner" of Connecticut. patch.com/connecticut/...
Guess it will be up to the Prime Remover.
Crying.
Never died once.
I could do it for hours.
Are we even trying to level the playing field?
Yeah, I have an in-car game I play. It's called "driving".
That's right. The report is coming out any day now, right?
No, but perception often trumps [sorry!] reality.
These are the trans people I don't like: the trans-actionals.
She was blinking in Morse code.
Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
Wascally wabbits.
Locals in Concord were speculating about the age of an old tree that was just cut down. Thoreau went over and counted the rings and told them exactly how old it was. They continued to speculate. Do you think Henry would embrace the MAGA mindset?
He thought slavery was bad, so. . .
Finish with the Cubs? Three games with the Yankees after the All-Star break? I know you can't please everybody, but jeez.
Where's Cordelia when you need her?
"Our Russian translators are working 'round the clock."
Something tells me I should re-read the "Grand Inquisitor" section of ~The Brothers Karamozov~.
But it's never about free speech, is it?
"Just because you can doesn't mean you should."
Not sure who these "far-left cranks" are, but I didn't feel like paying five dollars to find out.
"It's ugly. Where's the gold? Needs more gold. Take this loser out and have him shot."
[hrrrmgh] People!
So, infusions of the blood of little children? (I don't know; some people are saying that.)
Maybe it has to happen. Another Kent State to wake us up. (Of course, those were nice white kids.)
Sometimes it takes a while. We all expect everybody to be Paul Skenes.
I'm sure their families and employers (and not least, they themselves) will be delighted to hear it.
Nazis always want to invade New York. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gq0N...
See? Now aren't you sorry you deported all those Haitians?
It's a good movie. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1W_h...
Was there ever any doubt?
Thanks, Dread Justice Roberts.
Mask up, Mr. President!
"Okay, I'm going to say a word, and I want you to say the first thing that comes into your head. . . "Slavery. . ." "Hope." "Plantation. . ." "Progress." "Simon Legree. . ." "Mentor."
I'm skeptical of everything I see in this Age of AI.
"White-washing".
I had a couple last time I was in Shreveport.
So, is "Delta Mist" something everybody is just familiar with? "Oh, yeah, the Delta Mist, sure."
I spotted it when he came down the escalator.
"Good morning America, how are ya?" Steve Goodman must be rolling in his grave.
Here's an idea. How about some money for housing programs, mental health?
He may have a lot of money, but he'll never be "rich".
Don't know why he's so upset about how slavery is presented. He's a son of recent immigrants, on both sides, so his the Trumps had nothing to do with slavery.
Well, who'd'a thunk?
"I guess we're all hunting like everybody else for a way the diligent and sensible can rise to the top and the lazy and quarrelsome can sink to the bottom. But it ain't easy to find. Meanwhile, we do all we can to help those that can't help themselves and those that can we leave alone." ~ "Our Town"
I'm assuming this includes the areas right around the White House. What time is the march?
Did they ever do that check at Ft. Knox to see if the gold was still there?
They've been holding it open out of respect for Bill Lee.
We must stop sending U.S. aid to this obviously anti-semitic country!
I'll stash that in my "Pigs Fly" file.
It looked like Quantrill said "my bad", and Duran nodded "okay, then".
Six weeks is a long time to stay hot. And they've been hot for the last three.
It's not bad at all for a man his age. (I'm more concerned that he thinks he's in Russia.)
Putin never has.
Something is. . . wrong here.
Guy looks to me like he should be sawing a woman in half. (Or perhaps an under-aged girl.)
I seem to recall a time when judges actually considered the law when making decisions.
Kinda think the Covid crisis was a bigger failure.
Guy spends a lot of time on vacation. And he's only been on the job for six months! (I hear he has excellent benefits, as well.)
Into the sun with you and your bitcoin. Get a job!
The group has only been around since 1978. Not so sure how we would have done while still having slavery, or in the Jim Crow era. Still, point taken.
What kind of mark was that?
He puts the "doh!" in dolt.
"It's now 110% complete, but we're not stopping there. We're going for 130, 140 percent. Actually, more like 150."
Aw! He's so humble. 🤮
Nobody's reading the article. But if you just go by the "skeet", you would have that impression (that the server demanded she show her breasts before she could leave).
Immigrants? Will there be lions?
Jesus, take the wheel!
Is that tough enough?
Two years after his release, Browder hanged himself at his parents' home. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalief_...
Kalief Browder was an African American youth from The Bronx, New York, who was held at the Rikers Island jail complex, WITHOUT TRIAL, between 2010 and 2013 for allegedly stealing a backpack containing valuables. During his imprisonment, Browder was kept in solitary confinement for 700 days.
Okay, which one of you bozos wants to be blamed for blowing up the economy? Anyone, anyone?
Maybe in red states people were afraid to reveal themselves to the government?
Haven't we seen this movie before? www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDQd...
A century? I never got to first base with Cricket.
Cricket. You're talking Cricket. Judge hitting for a hundred!
Sounds like the rationale for a coup d'etat. "We have a President who is incompetent, and we have an incompetent chief executive here." (Perfect for America's 250th.)
Take your salary, and pay for your own damn golf!
I’m no economist, but . . . yeah!
Not aimed at you, Pete, but “Password” seems a little demeaning. It’s not a nickname as much as his name,(which we can’t be bothered to to try to remember or pronounce).
I’m still expecting violence from legitimately bereaved people, with loved ones cut off from necessary or hope-giving care.
Why not run an extension cord? It would be cheaper.
Unless the answer is "then he'll shut up and go away", I don't want to hear it.
End stage capitalism.
Attention MAGA! Trump only cares about the Rich. Not you!
“The budget” is a thing made by men and women. Politicians who lack the backbone to enact an equitable tax system are dependent on tariffs.
My shocked face.
