They drive like they have NASCAR level of safety devices and drive like they are in a NASCAR race.

"We Built This City" is not the worst song of all time. It's at least partially catchy.
'Rons, please pray for us. We have to make a heartbreaking decision about one of our cats. I think we're going to have to put her down. I've talked about her before. She has feline stomatitis. We've been treating her for a year, she's getting progressively worse. I thought a month ago we were at the end. The vet suggested a boost in her steroids, we agreed, it lasted no longer. I just can't have her suffer any longer. Posted by: DangerGirl and her 1.21 gigawatt Sanity Prod at September 02, 2016 09:59 PM (+eR2D) 9

Keeping students ignorant of the past makes them more susceptible to the influences of Progressive propaganda, while ginning up faux outrages and fear mongering insures that most students, even if exposed to actual history and philosophy, will stay within the Progressive fold.

Traffic deaths in 2015 climb by largest increase in decades. Maybe we shouldn't be handing out drivers licenses as IDs. I keed, I keed. I sure as hell ain't kidding: Last year Assembly Bill 60 was implemented, granting people in the country illegally the right to obtain driver's licenses in California. An estimated 605,000 licenses were issued under the law last year, accounting for nearly half of all new licenses, according to the California DMV. Nearly 400,000 of the licenses were issued during the first six months. Direct cause and effect here.

HuffPo has one article on the Clinton FBI doc dump, saying that controversy swirls around Clinton email document.
CNN sez 9 Notes from the Clinton FBI interview Boy, reading those two headers, you'd barely think there was anything of note at all.

"C" stands for Confidential, which I think is what HRC claims she didn't know. She's always said she never mishandled anything marked "Classified", which is probably correct. Nothing is marked "Classified".
Posted by: jim at September 02, 2016 10:05 PM (rnwV Well, when you think about it "classified" has no intrinsic meaning of secrecy. It just means, in the context of information, that somebody has placed in a category of information. Could be "public", could be "top secret", could be "confidential". Now, I think colloquially, it tends to be used as shorthand for "classified: Top Secret", but I don't expect the actual rules are so cavalier with definitions.

DangerGirl -
This is tough, and I'm sorry. I've been there, and it's heartbreaking. My best advice is crazy in a way: Ask your cat. I've been amazed at how well animals face their departure from this world. When they're ready, they let us know. They also let the other cats know; this is what we in CasaHorse call "the talk." It's when one cat says goodbye to the other. You know your cat, and you'll also be able to tell when she's really not with you any more. And if you're not sure, believe me - ask her. :-( Posted by: FireHorse at September 02, 2016 10:31 PM (lh7g2) Posted by: Voices, The Burning Bush - it speaks to me. at September 02, 2016 10:32 PM (c+z1/) 147

The basic rules for handling classified (meaning sensitive in some manner related to our National interest) data have only been around for decades, and have been continuously revised to account for changes in technology. For example, what worked for a manual typewriter and carbon paper might not apply well to an networked computer. The people charged with security are very professional and serious, but they all know that a psychopath operating at the Clinton level can defeat the best data handling procedures they can create because they weave a large web of willing traitors that stand to benefit from the treason they commit.

Hello, everyone. The worst song of all time is "Sometimes When We Touch" by Dan Hill. Posted by: iforgot says God bless Snorky at September 02, 2016 10:43 PM (5o5ek) Posted by: Kreplach at September 02, 2016 10:43 PM (QHcdg) 205
Aerosmith, Dream On is highly overrated too. I hate long songs.
Posted by: L, Elle ________ Crap. I used to like it because I felt I had to, then I sort of didn't like it so much. Now I'm at the age where I feel secure enough in my musical tastes to call "Dream On" utter crap. A shame, too. The rest of Aerosmith's first album is flawless.

The cluster bomb thing is a big 'ole crock of shit. SFW "pucks" are guided submunitions making it the least cluster bomby cluster bomb ever. It is also one of the most effictive weapons in our arsenal. some day, we'll lose pilots making multiple passes over pissed-off bad guys when a single pass would have done the job.

Not even close to the worst song. I can thing of several, but the one that made me break the dial off the radio was Billy Squire's "Stroke" -and anything else that came out of the mouth of that no-talent squint.

Dave Barry had a series of columns and a reader poll for the worst song ever. And yes, MacArthur Park won. Problem there is the lyrics. If you're hunting for bad songs, that business about leaving the cake out in the rain and you'll never have that recipe again is a big fat target.

So ace can possibly post, relatively painfree, with just enough alcohol!!! A lot of alcohol...But still...I'm a problem solver.

The Eagles first three albums, when Bernie Leadon was a member, were great:
Eagles -- "Take It Easy", "Witchy Woman", "Peaceful Easy Feeling" Desperado -- A Western-themed concept album with the hits "Desperado" and "Tequila Sunrise". There was a time in the late '70s when I was working a boring job where I'd run through each song in my head in order On the Border -- "Already Gone", "Ol' '55" (written by Tom Waits) and "Best of My Love" One of These Nights -- "OOTN", "Lyin' Eyes", "Take it to the Limit" and a instrumental piece I really like, "Journey of the Sorcerer", which would fit right in as a "Firefly" background piece of music: http://tinyurl.com/pne5dkx I still liked the band when Joe Walsh replaced Leadon, but not as much. It was almost the same thing with The Doobie Brothers, except that I really loved their early sound (first five albums) before Michael McDonald joined the band in late 1975 and the band's style radically changed. Finally, yes, We Built this City is a horrible, horrible rock song. The worst pop song ever is probably "Afternoon Delight" Posted by: Reno_Dave at September 02, 2016 10:47 PM (YEhNg) 229

Since I have been widowed, I have had to put two dogs to sleep. The first one was my husband's dog--she went everywhere with him. After she was cremated, I slipped her ashes down into a slit of earth that was gaping away from his headstone. The second one was a rescue dog that I adopted on my husband's birthday, which was only about 2 weeks after his death. I only went to the rescue event to donate money in my husband's name, but, the universe had other plans.

One way to think about the worst song ever is: what should it make you feel? If it's "I want to punch this guy," then I agree with iForgot that Sometimes When We Touch, that ode to Pajama Boy, wins hands down. If it's "please, make it stop," then maybe Muskrat Love or BanannaPhone. If it's "oh, just shut up already," then Imagine.

I got willowed in the last thread, but this is worth reposting:
The largest explosion at Cape Canaveral was Atlas-Centaur 5 in 1965, but that occurred just after liftoff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHjeZ4VrKS8 The worst explosion of a rocket during a test fire before now was Atlas-Able in 1959, but that happened after ignition. The fuel line sprang a leak and things got out of control. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bctu_6wWMic There was an incident in Brazil in 2003 where a solid rocket motor accidentally ignited and killed 21 people working on the pad. Then there was the famous Nedelin disaster in the USSR in 1960, which involved the second stage engines igniting and destroying the first stage, with dozens of people in the pad area. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nedelin_catastrophe But I'm not aware of a rocket exploding while just sitting on the pad at about the T-8:00 mark in the countdown. This may be a first. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BgJEXQkjNQ Posted by: rickl at September 02, 2016 10:48 PM (sdi6R) 240

133 Squeaking of "green energy projects" - here in Oklahoma, a company delivered gas that had an overabundance of corn oil ethanol, causing a big recall, lists of dozens of affected stations in the news (including Tinker AFB), and who knows what kind of damage to unsuspecting motorists' vehicles.
The prices are always higher at the station where we fill up, because they have only unsubsidized non-ethanol gas, but at least I don't have to worry about too much high-fructose corn syrup in the tank. Um, unless they get a wrong delivery, I suppose. Posted by: mindful webworker - fill 'er up at September 02, 2016 10:27 PM (5a8XA) We had the same thing happen here a few years ago in the Norfolk/Virginia Beach/Chesapeake area. We don't have any non-booze gas available nearby, either. If you have a newer (less than 10 year old) car, even if it's not flex-fuel, it shouldn't cause too much trouble because they all use the same computers and programming for the fuel injection and should be able to deal with the extra ethanol for a tank or so. It shouldn't eat up all the seals and stuff that quickly. Posted by: Jeff Weimer at September 02, 2016 10:52 PM (ASSjT) 262

Hey everybody.
I'm really, really unhappy and pissed with Amazon's grocery service, "Amazon Fresh" right now. I went ahead and ordered a 12-pack of Pepsi 1893 drinks a few days ago. Just got the FedEx package... one of the cans of 1893 was BROKEN OPEN and had obviously thrown soda all over the other 11 cans, and saturated/destroyed the box. Also in the shipment was a battery tester; however I think the tester is okay as it is sealed in clear plastic. Oh, and another SIX CANS were misshapen and looked like they were about to burst. So out of a dozen cans of soda, only 5 were usable. I just wrote to Amazon and they're sending me another 12-pack free of charge; I don't even have to send anything back. Okay, let's see if they make it right, but I can't believe no one ever noticed something wrong with the original 12-pack. Geezaloo already.

Posted by: boulder terlit hobo Check out the Gladiator soundtrack. It's not really in the same category as Host of the Seraphim (a truly beautiful song), but Lisa Gerrard (of Dead Can Dance) did all the vocals for the soundtrack. I listen to it alot when studying or coding or just needing to chill without distractions. The opening song "The Wheat" is just beautiful, and "The Battle" is pumping (although, don't think there's any of her vocals in it, it's just Hanz Zimmer at his best). I like Dead Can Dance alot, have for a couple decades now. "Yulunga" is one of my favorite songs...that woman has some PIPES! Posted by: Oedipus at September 02, 2016 11:26 PM (CXLVd) 395

"We Built This City" by Starship sounds like a musical masterpiece compared to what one hears on radio (satellite or terrestrial) today. One could listen to pop music and "adult oriented radio" in the 1980s and hear some decent music. Compare that to today, where bands look to an army of songwriters and about 50,000 producers to put together some of the most atrocious attempts at music this side of the Department of Redundancy Department.

Bold move, writing a love song about a fictional rodent that was designed to sell crap pizza to little kids.
Posted by: Blanco Basura at September 02, 2016 11:35 PM (T/cxb) Last week, while working to repair/replace two more walls from termite damage, I decided to give that Little Ceaser's "Hot n' Ready" pepperoni pizza a try. I figured, $5, and no hassle or wait, I'd risk it. My report: * True to their ad, it was hot, and the sale was without any delay whatsoever. * Edible, albeit not-remarkable sauce. * Not horrible toppings. (pepperoni) * Industrial grade, common, forgettable cheese. * Flavorless, dough-flavored crust. All in all, only one small step above a school's cafeteria on pizza day. But, it was hot, it was food, it was only $5. I'll not buy 'em again for myself, but if I had to put a buncha food down for an event, cheaply, I'd load up the truck with 'em. And I've yet to have ever sampled Chuck E Cheez's fare, and may it ever be so. Jim Sunk New Dawn Galveston, TX Posted by: Jim at September 02, 2016 11:42 PM (v5iqM) 459

Bill, the pop music of the time (early 1980s) was one of the things that *got me through* high school. I actually really enjoyed a lot of what I heard.
And, I considered it a great comfort (still do) that Hall & Oates came out with a song as forward-minded as "Adult Education" during, no joke, my emotionally difficult senior year. ;-) "Believe it or not, there's life after high school..."

277 Since "We Built This City" is about San Francisco, we Bay Areans were treated to a near fatal dose of the dreck on the local rock stations. It's awful for so many reasons, but mostly because it such a transparent attempt by an old hippie band trying too hard to regain some relevance.

I watched bull riding for a while. At one point they did a small documentary on one of the bulls that almost no one could ride successfully. They interviewed the owners who make a lot of money off bulls that are good at bucking. They said they were going to retire him because they figured he'd kill someone sooner or later. However, I think retirement in bucking bull world means a life of boinking in order to produce more mean bulls.

Jeff Weimer,
Technically, being in my mid-50s, to quote Roger Murtaugh, "I'm too old for this shit", but I actually kind-of like her music and videos. Did you know that the late Clarence Clemons' last performance (IIRC) in a music video was in her vid for "Edge of Glory". In the last year or so I've come to really appreciate the music of the female singers and male crooners of the 30s - early 70s because a lot of them had really great voices with no need for something like Autotune. While I know that there are "younger" people out there like Diana Krall, Harry Connick, Jr, Michael Buble and the late Amy Winehouse who can sing the old "standards", jazz and torch songs, I've often wondered if there are any modern pop or hip-hop artists who can handle those songs without artificial aids, so I was very happy to see that Stefani Germanotta (Gaga) can, and is moving in that direction.

I appreciate that someone mentioned Wildfire. I was living in Austin when Michael Murphy tortured us live with the debut of that crap, with a chamber string group.
Posted by: Dave at Buffalo Roam at September 02, 2016 11:45 PM (vT565) I heard Michael Murphy perform many times during the 70s, mostly by accident. He went to the same junior high school that I did, and came back and performed for an assembly. He gave a performance at Baylor and a girl invited me to see him. I used to regularly go to Red River, New Mexico and he was inevitably performing. I don't like Wildfire or most of his music, but he always had a pleasant rapport with his audience and came across as a likable guy. He disappeared off the musical radar in the early eighties.

Finished my structural welding on the body today, I did. Body was rusted right out at all four corners where it meets the floor pan. I cut pieces of steel to bridge the gaps, and welded them to both the body and floor pan. Inside the car and outside, all 4 corners, two layers. That "bolted on" body is now welded on, and will never come off the frame. Which is fine by me. I plan to use it until something expensive breaks, and then part it out, since it's really worth nothing. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at September 03, 2016 12:27 AM (oqkO3) 598

Ol' Don gave up all his material goods and found spiritual redemption himself at some hippy/psych retreat place. Then the show ended with that hippy song being used in a commercial, which means he used his newfound "hippiness" to sell nutritionally useless, chemical laden beverages to the public. Nothing against soda pop, I drink diet soda a lot, but I still wonder if the people who made that show understood that that hippy song's use in that commercial is a mockery of the hippy "we love the world" mentality.

Bad pop songs?
Just look up the top 100 hits from 1973 to 1978 and throw a dart, you'll hit one My personal choice for worst song ever that was a hit has to be Elton John's Philadelphia Freedom - Not only is Elton's tone whiney and the melody 70s variety show bad, the instrumentation sounds like they retrieved rejected backing tracks from the dumpster and had a chimpanzee remix them. To top it off, the song was about Billie Jean King signing with the Philadelphia Freedom team of a pro tennis league that went bust in a year.

There is a lot more to the music, especially instrumentals, that I couldn't hear on the car radio. (I'm about 50 percent deaf. The headphones are a requirement so I can hear all the music.)

Posted by: nerdygirl at September 03, 2016 12:33 AM (+lVUW)" Oh yeah, nerdygirl, I saw that finale last year, and they knew what they were doing. Speaking of AMC shows (and because of your "nerdygirl" name), have you seen this season's three episodes of "Halt and Catch Fire"? I was working in tech in Silicon Valley in the 80s so this show's move this year to SF and the Penninsula, along with the discussion of the tech really takes me back. In this week's episode, one of the coders attends a wild party in SF held by the CEO of the company. Playing in the background was Bowie's "Absolute Beginners" from 1986, so I believe that's when the episode is set. Since this season's "arc" is about early BBS services and is pre-internet, the title of the song holds two meanings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8NZa9wYZ_U Posted by: Reno_Dave at September 03, 2016 12:42 AM (YEhNg) 625

I have to agree with you there. High school sucked.
Was definitely not the "best times". Everything was better after high school, including the sucky times Posted by: cfomahm at September 02, 2016 11:37 PM (RfzVr) Agreed. It was like 4 years of being in prison, as far as I'm concerned. Hardly learned anything, most of it was just trying to avoid assholes and failing. Could not agree with you more. The thing that got me through high school? Metal. Lots and lots of metal. The best part was that I was not a stereotypical headbanger so that threw the sheeple students for a loop. Rode the bus to school beginning and ending the day with Metallica, Slayer, Queensryche, G'n'R, among others. I see high school as nothing more than a form of initiation.

OK, I haven't read all of the comments, but from what I've read you guys have missed one of the most overplayed and nauseating songs ever. "Bye Bye Miss American Pie" by Don McLean. An eight minute song that as soon as I started doing karaoke, I removed from the playlist. I also removed Freebird. It was a good song, it was just so overplayed that it became annoying. There's a lot of good songs out there, I just think that we hate them because the stations we listened to just couldn't help but play them five times an hour.

Posted by: Donna&&&&&V. whitely brandishing ampersands&&&&&so there at September 03, 2016 12:47 AM (P8951) ABS relies upon sensors, now usually on all four wheels, that sense the speed of wheel rotation. The ABS computer compares the speed of all four wheels, and acts to relieve brake pressure on any wheel it "sees" to stop turning. Without the sensors, the system is "blind". You might be able to splice the wire, but a proper repair would entail replacing the sensor. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at September 03, 2016 12:55 AM (oqkO3) 657

"Has anyone ever been able to distinguish any one Boston song from another? How about Chicago?

Posted by: Bill, sometimes bill from Canada at September 03, 2016 12:54 AM (tIc/p) The ABS on my '97 failed in a weird fashion. It would spontaneously apply the brakes randomly. Quite disconcerting. I pulled the fuse out, and do without it. Truck still stops fine. But then I learned to drive in vehicles without ABS, and learned how to pump the pedal when stopping in slippery conditions. But I would not recommend to someone I do not know, that they simply disable ABS, because I don't their driving experience, or that of any other family members that might use the vehicle.

Mike H., and Old Blue - yes, this situation is so ridiculous it's stranger than fiction.
I recall the State inspector general's office had some trouble doing their investigation - because *they* lacked the proper clearances! And I believe it's publicly known that completely non-cleared people - Hillary's legal team - had possession of lots of classified info. I believe these people are also the ones who reported certain mobile devices had disappeared (these devices clearly of potential interest to the security investigation). Any one of the DOZENS of serious, systematic, willful violations of security laws and procedures that are known to have occurred, had they been committed by any normal person - or any GOP office-holder or aide - would have led to a media firestorm and legal hurricane resulting in arrests or resignations (and disappearance from public life) in a few weeks. You might say we've been there for a while, but the country at this point deserves whatever it gets for permitting this to happen. We're off the charts.

Posted by: Old Blue at September 03, 2016 01:30 AM (9iR5/) Pretty certain it's not a tooth, since she was at the vet less than 2 weeks ago for her shots, and a checkup. As for pooping, she spends the day outside, and poops on her own schedule, so I don't know when she last did it. Two-three days ago, I happened to see her do it, so if she is constipated, it's for 2 days at most. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at September 03, 2016 01:34 AM (oqkO3) 735

AOP--obviously not common, but one of our dogs started ignoring his food this past winter. He's the emo of the pack, so at first we didn't think to much of it, but after a few days we got to worrying. Fortunately our vet was on the ball and noted Acute changes in electrolytes, diagnosed him with Addison's disease. If it's been a few days and is acting lazy, that might be it.

That slave in the bedroom thing reminds of some movie I saw way back, likely in the late 70s. Some creepy teenaged boy either rapes and/or kills some girl. He lives with his mother, no father. She hides him by boarding up a room in the house, covering up the door, and making it look like a wall or shelves or something.
Anyway, there he lives in hiding for a while, when mama has to go to the hospital for some routine procedure. She dies there. The house is sold, with junior still living in his secret room. He terrorizes the neighbors and the family living in the house. Posted by: publius (not Breitbart publius) at September 03, 2016 02:07 AM (DW+jj) 779

Last week I watched 1941's "Mr. Mrs. Smith", a comedy starring Carole Lombard and Robert Montgomery. According to the IMDB trivia page for that film, she was a devoted Democrat, while Montgomery was a Republican. So of course, she would often go out to the parking lot during lunch and put a "Vote FDR" bumper sticker on Montgomery's car.Unfortunately, this was her second-to-last film, because in January, 1942, she, her mother, and 20 others were killed in a plane crash into a mountain near Las Vegas.

I was reading trivia about the Orions in that original pilot with Susan Oliver, which became "The Menagerie". They originally used Majel Barret as sort of test for the makeup, which was a difficult mess. But when they got the footage back, she looked normal colored not green.
What the hell. They tried 3 times, making the makeup a darker and darker shade of green, but nothing worked. She looked normal. It turns out that they had specified she was supposed to be green in the instructions to the processing crew. They assumed that some idiot camerman had botched the setup, and so corrected the green color back to normal. Yvonne Craig (Batgirl) was considered for the role, and did play an Orion slave girl in a later episode, "Whom Gods Destroy".

Every few years when my parents would take me to the local theme park I was allowed to buy a sovenier from any shop there.
This park specialized in atmosphere and character. And they had one shop that made the entire park exceptional. The Magic Shoppe. It wasn't very big, 20' x 8' or so. Counter, walls racked with Adams tricks - cups and balls, magic links, silk scarves, and a few crystal balls for effect. Plastic sick, ugg. The clerks were required to know a few gags and some patter. Not entirely smooth parlor magic, but I was too short to complain, and besides, the room was literally magic. I find the Harry Potter media still-borne, lame, and derivative, but I imagine those that are fans of that world are of the same mind, the same entranced experience of what i experienced the few times I opened the heavy wooden door and walked into The Magic Shoppe.

Slap, most wouldn't have anything to do with you if you couldn't speak in tongues. No offense to people who truly believe, but these guys were extreme. And to this day, I don't believe that many of them were Christians, as much as they were cultists. If you didn't believe in their version of Christianity, then you were either a heretic or a non-believer. Their test was whether or not you could speak in tongues. If you couldn't, you weren't one of them. If you could, you were a fellow traveler, and I mean that very deliberately.

Oh man. Susan Oliver describe shooting that scene. She said even before she began the dance, standing of to the soul, she knew Gene had tapped into something dark in man's subconscious -- you do things to green skinned woman you wouldn't otherwise dare do.
She was sweating so much under that makeup they had to keep applying it. And they had to cut much of it -- too sexy for the censors, including one where she was whipped.

I was watching some outtakes from TOS and in the "Mudd's Women" episode, the hottie with the long dark hair wore a dress with a slit in the front. There's one scene where she does a seductive turn with her arms raised. In the outtake when she raised her arms and turned, one of her boobs popped out through that front slit. Needless to say, Shatner and the rest had ear to ear grins and she just smiles sheepily and pops the boob back in.
In the scene you see even Mr Spock grinning a little, they couldn't wipe the grin off his face from the outtake. Capt Kirk and McCoy of course needed no suppression of their delight. For some reason Sulu wasn't in that scene Posted by: kbdabear at September 03, 2016 03:18 AM (Ya7zs) 851

So corrupt Obamanite says traffic deaths up by largest amount ever despite them still being lower than they were several decades ago. He must be getting ready for some more patented Obama fascism with his pen and phone.
Every goon organization in the country will preach their favorite ax to grind. MADD will say it is because of drunken teenagers and we need to increase the drinking age to 99. IOW bring back prohibition which became their real goal several decades ago. The Naderites will say it is because we absolutely must have more safety features including governors on the electronic ignition that limits speed to 55. The watermelons will say it is because we removed the 55 mph speed limits on the interstates and we need to reinstate them. Obama will say we need the 55 speed limit, electronic governors, and most of all, higher punitive federal taxes on gasoline so he can give more money to train and bus unions. Meanwhile, has any independent non-government agency verified that these numbers are accurate? The solutions, as always, shows what the "real problem is.

Fortunately, I have figured out a way that may let me work independently, allow me to come back home and take care of my very elderly parents (ages 80 and 90) if needed, makes me happy and gives me a nice market for any kids books I'm going to write in the future. Oh, and mercilessly teasing Social Justice Warriors and western university indoctrinated students is part of my brand!!! So it is all good. I'm going to let the alcohol take over for a few minutes....but damn...I miss my Korean church. I was walking the streets in Pyeongtaek, South Korea after teaching English and heard what sounded like hymns coming from a building. I cautiously opened the door to investigate, they saw me and invited me in. At that moment, I remembered Dennis Pragar saying "how can you tell you are not religious if you have never given it a chance?: I went in and the women in the choir welcomed me so graciously. The women in the choir phoned Ashley who was 20 and she came to the church and translated for me that night, and at the next Mass. And for some reason I went back to church the next Sunday. And the next Sunday. After a couple of Sundays, Lim Sun, the pastor's wife, gave me a beautiful English-Korean Bible. I offered her money. She refused. I put an extra 50,000 won ($50 US) in the donation plate. Ashley went to school, but Suzi took over translation duties. Amazingly beautiful girl. So incredibly sweet, in high school and she looked a couple years younger than her 18 years. I remember one Sunday getting a text message on my phone from Suzi asking if I was going to be at church. Beautiful Korean girl. Even though nothing would ever happen, yeah, that was extra motivation to go to church. After several weeks at my new church, I took Ashley, Suzi and a few other of the older kids to the movies and out for pizza. It was so much fun. I look younger than I am, they were comfortable around me and it was a very happy day. It amused me that as a white guy, I had all my wonderful memories taking my black god-daughter and her 3 sisters to the movies and somehow found the Asian equivalent. It was like I was collecting families from all races. I kept putting about $20 in the collection envelopes each week. In October or November, I received a text message from Lim Sun, the pastor's wife. She brought over a brand new winter coat for me. I'm Canadian, wasn't dressing too heavily and I guess they thought I needed a coat. A COAT! A very nice, $200 dollar coat!! What kind of church does that!!??!?? So if people are keeping track, I'm donating back to the church everything they give me. And over the next few months, on the weeks I miss church, I put the $20 I'd give the previous week into the envelope with the current weeks donation. And after a few months, we're about tied... And then, some of the church members see me on the street moving my items from my old apartment to the new apartment of my new employer. Phone calls were made. Soon, most of my small church was there helping me move and get settled into the new apartment. And shortly thereafter, I ended up breaking my elbow in 2 places. My pastor's wife, Lim Sum, came to the hospital for 17 days in a row to wash me up, INCLUDING after her oldest daughter gave birth to her 2nd grandchild!! I love that woman.... Anyways, I was drinking, I've already messaged Lim Sun at church wishing her a great day and was just randomly typing after killing a bunch of beers. For the record, I am able to sit comfortably in a chair now. However, that was after a LOT of alcohol Posted by: Stateless Infidel at September 03, 2016 05:36 AM (oc5O1) 865
According to one of my favorite authors, Louis L'Amour, his reputation as a western "bad man" was undeserved.
And although Tombstone is one of my favorite movies of all time the tale of Doc Holliday shooting Ringo is total fiction. Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at September 03, 2016 05:43 AM (mpXpK) 866

"Completely plausible that the rest of the cabinet positions are equally corrupt and inept."
Decades ago a white antique shop owner on Magazine in New Orleans, also a councilman, told me of his discussion with a black councilman. The black guy argued that city jobs were (my updated paraphrase) a designed device to spread the wealth around, largely to the black community. The white small business owner was more capitalist, thinking government was to be as efficient as possible. (silly him) Lois Lerner told us it was just a couple rogue agents in Cincinnati, and all the subsequent lies that covered the trail all the way to the White House went unpunished, as only whistle blowers are fired. Many bureaucrats feel they are righteous, others feel they are clever and America deserves to be fleeced. An Obama administration guy said "in the end it comes down to the barrel of a gun" ... so of course they want to take those soon, to make us as vulnerable as the European proles. We are not dealing with patriotic Americans. "If there was hope, it must lie in the proles. If they could only somehow become conscious of their own strength. Until they become conscious they will never rebel. And until they rebel they will never become conscious." http://orwelltoday.com/proles.shtml Maybe the internet combined with Trump notoriety and a few fed up patriots in the system, can defy Clinton grotesqueness being thrust upon us by plutocrat commies and their MSM tools. But it will be like The Exorcist, and they will fight to the end. Posted by: illiniwek at September 03, 2016 05:55 AM (ZRaCn) 868

542 Oh, has no one mentioned "She's My Lady" by Dennis DeYoung?
That song really sucks. Awwww....that's just wrong Posted by: Bruce Cougar Jenner at September 03, 2016 07:18 AM (AWYka) 872
"We Built This City" may not be the very worst song of all time. But it may be the most overplayed song of all time. Man, did I get sick of it for a few years.
