I think every time the Leftists in our lives start with their bullshit, no matter what their relationship to us, we just need to start with "That's stupid, shut up."
we have to pretend along with their lunacy, because...

I remember this Star Trek TOS episode - Whom Gods Destroy
Everything I posted this morning on the tablet/cell connection, even switching IP, got deleted almost immediately. Posting from desktop/cable, now, and my last message seems to be sticking around on this thread.
Yay.
I presume that was just technical, but, weird.

What I need right now is some +Aegz and bacon!
For finally correcting the italicans, BackwardsBoy gets a free pass for his next minor barrel-able offense.
Hahhaha. Just kidding.
Hello, Twitter? I'm not getting satisfaction from the police for my complaints about oppressive oppressors. So I turn to you to help me destroy anyone who offends me....
Hello, police? There's a white dog in my neighborhood who... Hello? Hello?
Hello, police? I was just in a restaurant where they offered sweetened iced tea. I'm offended by this racism and cultural oppression. I want that restaurant closed down and all of its employees arrested.
Hello, police? I heard someone speaking in what I think was an accent from an area of the country that is racist and personally offensive to me. I want him arrested.
Hello, police? The weather man on the radio just said the wind was going to be "out of the South" today. I am offended and want him arrested!
Oklahoma's federal penitentiary welcomes President Obama. Glad to have you walk in.
It's the walking back out that is wrong.
MrScribbler: Why not hope for a day when Choom Boy is likewise removed from his pedestal?
Wait, was that a positive thought?
Who are you and what have you done with our resident curmudgeon MrScribbler?
Vic: Looks like the Eros are going to cave on Greece.
They should never have gone to Eros and only stuck with Agape. Oh, Atlantis!
(Anyone who can connect the obscure Zappa reference hidden there wins a no-prize.)
"Miss Oklahoma - the new Miss USA!"
Oh, yeah? Again? Nice. Whatever else we got in OK, we got some purty gals. And unlike all them purty Texas gals, you can mostly understand what they say, if you let them talk...

Morning, Glories!
Staying at my mom's. Unfamiliar bed, no cat crawling on us during the night, but I slept well anyway... until the alarm clock next to the bed went off. Some visiting relative from earlier in the month had to get up to meet a plane, no doubt.
And I was really sound asleep.
Not any more!
Oh, well, got me up in time for Vic.
Now, how does her old coffee maker work? All the text identifying the buttons has worn off. This button that's the most worn must be "start"...?
Kreplach: ...weaponized government/oligarchy/agitator complex. ...
I remember Ike warning us about that in his farewell address.
An Observation: The problem with Comic Books is that they may train the mind to need pictures to go along with words for comprehension - thus stunting the ability of the mind to understand without illustration.
I suppose, if all a person ever read is comic books, and mostly just skipped captions, glazing over dialog, and just looking at the pictures, this might be true. Might be. Trying to stretch my imagination to encompass such a person.
I was mad comics collector (mom did not throw out my 1960s Marvel collection, but a "friend" did steal it). I was also a voracious print reader. Started out with illustrated Dick and Jane books, by the way. See Spot run. Run, Spot, run! Did not seem to hamper our literacy.
My mother-in-law imbibed that 1950s propaganda about comics stunting kids, and worried because her son Jack was reading them. Poor Jack ended up being just a lowly Chicago cabbie, barely able to read street signs with icons. Just kidding. You can purchase Jack's gritty big-city books on Amazon (and if I did it right should benefit AoSHQ) using this link:

I raised my kids on the Classics. The original Steve Ditko run on Spider-Man. $crooge McDuck stories by Carl Barks and Don Rosa. Because with all power comes mighty responsibility, thrift and hard work are valuable, and if life hands you a buck of worms, go fishing.
But, you know, they're "only" comics.
