Hey, lurkers and jerkers, Gabe is up. More importantly, Vic.

"I'd pray for the hostages, but mine have a bad track record when life is on the line."

Still plenty of reason to pray, so don't hold back. Attachment to outcome is best avoided with the addendum, Your Will be done.

I sometimes wonder that more folks don't realize there's a world war growing, and it's becoming more serious every year. But then I hear a dear but benighted relative, an educated intellectual, praising TFG's reasoning for tangling in Syria...

"worse than Mitt Romney twerking"

At first I thought, eww. But on 2nd thought, that's a pretty funny image.

Looks like it's me & Beagle & not sure about Beagle.

Beagle, thanks for the links on Kenya Mall, so I could get caught up right away.

My body decides it's time to rise before my mind does. I'm a little concerned about how this will work when the rest of the world shifts an hour, but the cows and pets and sun and I keep our schedules. Waiting an extra hour for morning threads could be deleterious to my mental health... hahaha if I had any would I be here?

I think this is my third such.embarrassment. Always amusing to see which sockname makes the list.

I should be eliminated from the contest. I don't so much sock as keep changing the signature.

...he deployed his parachute, then the bomber exploded. His chute collapsed, and as he attempted to re-inflate it he saw one of the bombs go past him.

(watching nuke go by) "Oh dear. Well, let's see... Do I really need to keep trying to reinflate this chute?"

1. Impossibly escape plane.
2. Re-inflate (presumably) collapsed chute.
3. Nuke does not go off.
4. Ask Marilyn Monroe to dinner.

"American gun use is out of control. Shouldn't the world intervene?"

Methinx any such effort would elicit much 'gun control,' of the hit-what-you-aim-at type.

Further proof we've become a banana republic/third world nation. We need a 'troop surge' to patrol our cities. : Schrödinger's cat

A lower unit of govt fails, requiring intervention to restore order, that's local. (Chicago as gangster govt.)

When the top level of govt fails, that's yer banana republic. That is happening by design, of course, to move us under World Govt.

Personally, I think world gov is the inevitable permutation, some day if we survive, and I have no problem with that... as long as it's a Constitutional Democratic Republic with an informed, educated electorate whose enfranchisement is an earned privilege, on the model of the US Constitution.

That is not what the One World Govt people have in mind, methinks.

I love the Chicago we knew, my wife's hometown, my children's birthplace, and I lament that the world's best big city is out of control.

But I think if you need to bring in the Guard, you start not with policing the streets but by taking over city hall and policing the cops.

Man Arrested for Urinating on Supermarket Produce is still on Drudge. I can see how that would take precedence over some local story in Kenya.

Happy Birthday to Wright, Jeremiah,
Who gave Barry Bama a boost,
When on the down-low
He hooked BO up with MO.
May his chickens all come home to roost.

"Conservative says Bitch McConnell and Boner are hiding behind McShitty and Nancy Boy. I say they are not hiding very well."

They should hide behind Chirstie.

Come on, I wasn't the first with that this morning was i?

Dang it, I was just enjoying myself, standing here flicking cheetoes into the punch bowl. Now I have to beam back up to the mothership.

Save the wails!

Holy mackerel! Only those wild and crazy hippies, Dale and Gail from Oklahoma, could properly cover that "modern spiritual."

Yeah. Watched all of the cat video. Maybe 10 seconds of the boobs playing the guitar. -Dang

I wasn't gonna admit it, but, me, too. I listened to the whole thing while reading. It was okay. The visual was nice for a glance but, like a repeating GIF, once you've seen the cycle a couple of times, you move on.

Ever see the clown tie balloon animals, sweetie

AAAAGGGHHHHHH! NOOOOOO! Balloon animals, vajayjays, ONT, life itself, all ruined forever with one comment. Might have to drink the brain bleach.

hehehe eh heheh... "69"... heheh -beavis

I would say that beavis is scraping the bottom of the barrel, but around here, that's just too disgusting a visual.

Great cat! Or whatever that creature is. Sasquatch's pet.
