  1. It's satire. It's supposed to look cheap.
  2. I get what you're saying, having worked customer service (usually at the front end). Far too many Karen's or Donald's out there. Many more than 15 people have horrible days every day... Unfortunately the one's you are referring to happen to be the day's chosen few
  3. I'm not sure how it would be framed, or even how to preserve it, but outside the "norm" areas like the Lewis and Clark Trail, Underground Railroad Routes, even things like Route 66 (or Route 30 even) should be better promoted and even preserved in our country
  4. As should the Freedom Tower in Miami. It served the same purpose as Ellis Island but for refugees from Castro's Cuba
  5. The National Park service has done wonders with Gettysburg since I visited as a kid, 60 plus years ago. Many areas, especially in downtown Gettysburg seemed a bit too commercial. Meaning a motel very close to Jenny Lind's house/museum. Wax museum, a cool museum of Cliff Arquette's carvings, etc. But then they were attempting to attract a mass audience. I kind of feel the same way about Appomattox. The NPS has stepped up there game there in recent years. Same with Petersburg, and a few of the smaller battlefields connected with the Seven Days Battles. One of the newer Civil War sites is the old Tredegar Iron Works site in Richmond. They've turned it into The American Museum of the Civil War, telling the story from the North,South, Slave, and Women's points of view.

  7. I don't ever want to hear anyone who supports these law makers to pretend to be "Christian" again.
  8. My gut feeling was the Steeler front office got ahold of some bad weed from Coulter. (The Rooney's original stomping grounds)
  9. Maybe if he'd stop using cheaply made burner phones..... (Or maybe they should just pray over it)
  10. It will turn into another Citizens United type boondoggle..
  11. Point of reference. The Pistons sold the Shock for $5 Million in 2009. The Dolan Family sold the Liberty for $215 Mil in 2019, claiming they couldn't turn a profit. Now these franchises are going for $250 Mil. ????

  13. What happens if you get the entire health system industry lobbying against your party? I'm probably wrong but this may not be good for Red State Trumpublicans

  15. One of my favorite post Clemente Pirates. Had a chance to see him play in A Ball in Salem Va way back when. RIP The Cobra
  16. In the 1920s and ‘30s the Mexican League attracts fans to see the many Negro League and Cuban stars who are banned from playing in the U.S. major leagues. Post-WWII, businessman Jorge Pasquel lures 22 major leaguers to play south of the border in a brief U.S.-Mexican “war.” 2/3 Since 1955 the Mexican League has been affiliated with Major League Baseball as an independent minor league. It now consists of 20 teams split into north and south divisions. 3/3
  17. the Bedford Boys, One American Town's Ultimate D-Day Sacrifice. (Alex Kershaw) Members of Company A, 116th Regiment of the 29th Division. The first troops to land on the beaches of Normandy. 19 young men were killed, the highest per capita of any town in the US. In all 22 young men from Bedford were killed in the campaign. The book tells the story of these kids. A compelling read, especially when rereading about the first wave that was mowed down as they landed. https://www.amazon.com/Bedford-Boys-American-Ultimate-Sacrifice/dp/0306813556

  19. Today's JVL on the SC edict turining us into a Kleptrocacy https://www.thebulwark.com/p/the-supreme-court-just-made-america
  20. I admit to using ChatGpt for our vacation plans this year. A month-long road trip following Lewis and Clark to Montana. It took a bit of tweaking to get close to what we want
  21. Canada should bill him for the Bridge
