I suppose we should be grateful that he didn't 'honor' people like my Uncle Bill, who gave their lives for their country, by calling them suckers and losers again.
-
I wasn't sure where this would fit in so I'm putting it here. This is the Boston Common-each flag represents somebody from Massachusetts lost in wars since the Revolutionary War. It's very powerful and sobering to see the sea of flags.

What makes it interesting is that if you read novels from around the time when Scandinavians were among the most recent immigrants to MN, they're definitely portrayed as being inferior to the WASPs that were in the area first. How quickly people forget....
-
I sadly didn't find the old site until after he passed, although I did see a few of his posts afterwards. Seemed like a great guy.
-
Does this mean I'm a one percenter now?
-
Unfortunately, abuse is something that has not been unique to the US-although it has been publicized here in recent decades (not sure if that's true in other places, aside from Ireland). I'm with Oblong-judging from the people who hate this pick, I'm inclined to be hopeful.

Water damage-need I say more?
-
All of a sudden I have the song Big Yellow Taxi in my head.... and memories of a boring part of a 7th grade New England Heritage tour when we toured impressive but incredibly gaudy gilded mansions in Newport.

Did his not having his hand on the Bible while taking his oath mean he doesn't have to keep it? Or does he just think he doesn't have to?
-
Is it good or bad that I had to remind myself that you wrote this, and not the Golden Idol? In other words, nicely done!
-
Yup.
-
Anybody else follow White Stars, Black Sea on FB? Every April they do a history of Titanic-from preparations to set off on her maiden voyage to the hearings and all coverage of news about the disaster. I find it interesting.
-
Sad part is, there are people who will be perfectly happy-as long as the people they hate have it worse. I'm already seeing it. 😞 Or they'll blame it on the 'elite' and go an a rampage.

Looks like I won't be returning to Amazon to shop any time soon.
-
Vegetable oil is too woke.
-
Or it could be that MTG was testing the waters, to see how far she could go. If too many people object, she'll call us snowflakes all while claiming she was talking about something/someone else.
-
I'm definitely confused, because I thought this was what she wanted. Or did she only want places like the People's Republic of Massachusetts to bear the brunt?
-
I could see it happening, the same way Hitler murdered many former allies and/or factions of the Nazi party in the Night of the Long Knives.
-
Definitely. The KKK had definite opinions on "papists" and I assume they still do.
-
What a lovely person.
-
Yikes! TBH this is one reason why I don't carry purses and look for clothing that has inside pockets. And that's the kind of money you would make sure is not kept all in the same place-though in any case $3000 is far more than I've ever carried on me at one time.
-
I am pretty sure I'd prefer the next one to be chosen by Wilbur the pig or moonbeams. Or maybe it'll be given to the first person who can remove a sword from a stone?
-
On my way to the airport to go home last Thursday, we passed a building with a lot of different kinds of aircraft outside of it. The taxi driver told me it was an Air Force armaments museum and that it was free of charge. It sucks to find out about things like this when it's too late to go visit. Oh, well.
-
I only hope that he had encounters that were more positive after meeting with the Bedbug.

I thought I remembered an example from an '87 BoSox/Yankees game, but turns out my pet peeve of bad memory failed me again. If you look at the box score you'll understand why I was laughing at the end of it, though. https://www.baseball-almanac.com/box-scores/boxscore.php?boxid=198706260NYA
