Nice unarmed ship there. Would be a shame if some coward sunk it.

All places named with a lot of vowels must be tropical paradises. Don't disillusion me, Ohio.

My wife & I are traveling today and tomorrow. I think I tricked her: she thought I said "Oahu" but I actually said "Iowa". Close enough, right?

That's silly. I've been there, it's easy to find, and you're not going to mistake it for any other establishment.

The sign is in English. Is this for American tourists?

Do not ever tell me to see a chiropractor. I start frothing at the mouth a bit.

Face it, once you reach a certain age, the news is one big serving of cancer. And you always feel like the wrong person is suffering.

The White House Correspondents Association has asked me, very nicely, to be the Honoree at this year’s Dinner, a long and storied tradition since it began in 1924, under then President Calvin Coolidge. In honor of our Nation’s 250th Birthday, and the fact that these β€œCorrespondents” now admit that | am truly one of the Greatest Presidents in the History of our Country, the G.O.A.T., according to many, it will be my Honor to accept their invitation, and work to make it the GREATEST, HOTTEST, and MOST SPECTACULAR DINNER, OF ANY KIND, EVER! Because the Press was extraordinarily bad to me, FAKE NEWS ALL, right from the beginning of my First Term, | boycotted the event, and never went as Honoree. However, | look forward to being with everyone this year.

DO YOUR FUCKING JOB, WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS ASSOCIATION. They won't. Expect a boring evening of pandering, suck-uppery, and cowardice.

Would you pay $30,000 to watch Ken Ham eat? Only if you're in a cult.

Yay! Not yay that he is dead, but yay that in my oblivious perspicacity I never read any of his books.

I did rather like the TV series, The Terror, but felt that it would have been so much better without the superfluous & incoherent supernatural bits.

The myth of liberal intolerance at colleges is a lie used by conservatives to justify their intolerance and contempt for education.

So, it's OK to rebuild nations and murder civilians if their leaders are backwards-thinking, anti-scientific, nationalist fanatics? Useful to know.

Federal spending is up from last year and the year before. Taxes are going up this year for everyone except the top 5%. The only reduction that has occurred has been in benefits and services delivered to >95% of Americans.

Somehow, I didn't end up a creationist dingleberry like Jeffrey Tomkins despite some similarities in our early college experience.

Great respect to our student athletes. I have one case of assault & battery by an icy sidewalk, & I'm a shambling wreck for weeks. They go out and pound on themselves year round, & manage to cope.
The difference might be 50 years.
