ARGH! Browsers that lose my carefully-constructed content from composition boxes make me furious. Dang programmers! Sometimes I long for the days of the solidity of MS-DOS ware. Sometimes.

VIA, you've got a powerful imagination. I almost believe I'm real!

She's totally unaware that there's a braying mob chanting for her blood. Crazy and horrible.

You know how folks come out (SWIDT?) to support Chik Fil-Eh or Christian bakers? This woman needs a support site & network, stat.

In fact, there ought to be some kind of group to support Zimmermans and other victims of mob loon mentality.

I know! What we need if Federal Braying Mob Chanting for Blood Insurance! That's the ticket!

Hey, that "Gal Godot" mirror pic is NOT Gal Godot unless she went to bed and woke up Korean.

Okay. I wondered... since she didn't look like all the other pix I searched. But it gave me a chance to link to Jen.

And that was the worst Mary C sock ever, you big faker. i'm a big fan of her work, and you clearly are not she.

My addled brain is starting to cross long drives with dive bars, so I think I'll go for a long dive to a drive bar and pass out.

Be sure to say your prayers. And thank your angels for putting up with EVERYTHING YOU DO. (They're like Bob & Edna in the NSA except they like you.)

Fracking? Fracking?

Don't you know Fracking causes Earthquakes!

Fracking is the reason we've had TWO yes count them TWO earthquakes here in Oklahoma in the last ... um ... 2011 to 2013 carry the 1 (runs out of fingers) ... um ... in the last several years, two of the biggest earthquakes EVER ON RECORD in the ENTIRE ... um... something like 100 years of state history. Which, okay, isn't long in geologic terms, maybe, but it's really long in anthropillogical global climate chaos carbon credit billing cycles.

If FRACK just had a short-u vowel sound and no R it would make a great cussword. Wait a minute...

BAROUK OBAMA IS STUTTERING CLUSTERFRACK OF A MISERABLE FAILURE.

(For old time's sake.)

(And the middle class.)

I survived the biggest earthquake evar (in Oklahoma) tee shirt in the mindfulwebworks shop at CafePress ... which... seems to be unavailable at the moment. Great. Now what?

The Peoples Cube has fun with Ethan Krupp aka Pajamas Boy.

Thank goodness you posted this again. I failed to click it the times you posted it before.

I didn't go all the way back to the top, but ...

Did you know the comments make just as much sense reading backward as forward? Except there's also this weird scratching sound.

...now it seems Gal Gadot has been cast as Wonder Woman...

Who? :Dogpile Image Searching)::

Gal Gadot scantily clad facing a mirror

Immediately made me go search out

Jennifer Connolly less clad facing a mirror

Okay, so the one of Jen was a few years ago, but...

...it's a good thing (by comparison) that Gadot is clearly labeled "Gal" -- rimshotaroonie

Seriously. between Twiggy the Wonder Woman and Pajamaboy the Superman, soon these icons will be indistinguishable.

For Equality!

And the Middle Class!

This all reminds me of old Sam Walton in his biography. He talked about how reporters were surprised to find him driving his old pick up (with the dog Roy) instead of a chauffeured limo. And that there weren't any hoochie coochie girls down by the swimming hole pool.

Never listened to an AoS podcast. All my AoS needs are satisfied by Text -- still, byte for byte, your best entertainment value.

My very limited A/V time is consumed with watching old Doctor Who ... er ... listening to Mark Levin.

And on the stail end of last thread, I said (AIAC):

Hope I can remember to watch those videos on the desktop later. Just looking at the thumbnails is scary enough.

Busy busy busy. Son's wedding. Daughter's ballet. Christmas. Takes over. And yet our kids are allegedly grown up and moved out! Busy busy busy. Can barely keep up with reading every word of every post & comment & following every link...!

Have a week!!

You know Frankie and Harry and Lyndon and Dickie,
Georgie and Jackie and Jimmie and Willie,
But can you forget
The bigizest bullshitter yet?

Barry the two-faced tyrant
Had a very longish nose
And if you ever watched him
You would even say it grows

All of the other choomsters
Used to think he was a jerk
He would have all the goodies
Ripping off the ones who work

Then one year a fog rolled up
Soros saw his chance
Barry with your nose so long
You can mix up right and wrong

Then how the free shit army
Followed Barry O the Blind
Now he wants me on OCare
He can kiss my dang behind!

if I'm not back by morning, Hugh bbvv ok? hhhbhfffg

Oh.

Dear.

Lord.

The other day, someone commented that, upon playing a music video embedded by a certain morning coblogger, a framed portrait of Judy Garland appeared on his wall. (A memorable quip, doncha think?)

I didn't watch that music video.

But (urk!) I watched the ObamaCaresAboutGayBoys video. I was in such shock, I couldn't reach for the pause key until I got to the point of the Gingerbread House with the round, puckered upper window...

Whatever that music video was, it was John Wayne Meets James Bond in Die Hard in The West by comparison.

I felt like I'd been force-fed that entire gingerbread house in one sitting and washed it down with a box of Kaboom.

I had to watch the Kate Upton Arte Filme twice to just begin to recover.

Thanks, Ace, wherever you're tweeting, for supplying that antidote.

Where do you live, Mama? I could teach/explain stuff to some homeschool kids. -Washington Nearsider

Offer your services online. Start a website or blog or faceplace where folks can contact you. Set up an interactive webpage. Find an independent educational association that's already set such up.

Is there any such? Damdifiknow. I could direct you to my homeschooling cousin's family. They're big on online study, I think. (Our little autodidacts were pre-net until their teens.)

Decades ago part of my never completed major involved planning ahead for when 'school' as we know it would become m/l obsolete for most folks as homes were interconnected with a/v/data networking. Crazy. I thought it would strengthen families and stuff

Huh.Seemed t'me that it was lighter today at 7am than it has been, too, FWIW. I know earth's tilt & wobble mean it's not all tidy, but I thought we had a couple days before the turnaround.

I am NOT complaining.

Official solstice is

Oh cool, my daughter likes stories like that. Tis bought.

Wow. hope she likes it. You might enjoy it, too.

"Bubby" as the grandkids knew her, had quite a life. Jack interviewed his mother over several years, thinking he would write it all up as a biography, but then realized what he had was a whole lot of her stories that were complete in themselves, so it's really her words.

Mrs adds: in the back of the book there's an index to everybody mentioned. Which Mrs didn't know while she was first reading it and even she found it occasionally confusing, so pass that along.

Before I run off for the day... some here might appreciate today's doodle

Back upthread, I wrote "I have a BiL born nowabouts. It has... consequences. (Just kidding, Jack!)"

That's today. For Christmas (& other), buy Jack's books via Ace's Amazon link and Jack, Ace, your giftee, and you will all benefit. Search Jack Clark. Nobody's Angel. Dancing on Graves. Westerfield's Chain. And Jack helped create my late MiL's books, On the Home Front : My Mother's Story of Everyday American Life from Prohibition Through World War 2.

HBD, Jack.
