Yes, there really are a lot of stupid people in this country.
"While Cossar was standing for the anthem prior to the start of Saturday’s game, she said she heard someone in the stands point out the workers had also risen.
“When I looked over the fence, I saw them standing and respecting the flag,” she said.
For a good laugh, sometimes nothing beats a "serious'" article in HuffPo. Braving an enforced encounter with the EQ, which I did for the sake of journalism, I read and, worse yet, listened to HerM giving sage opinions on...wait for it! Hypocrisy.
I did not watch Trump's "first ever prime-time address to the nation" on Monday evening. I can't stand to have someone lie to my face...and when that someone calls himself the President of the United States, that's just one more reason not to listen.
I read his words this morning. I had to get up at 4:45 AM to take Debbie to the airport for a flight to DC for a conference in Arlington, so what was I gonna do after I got back home?
I used to be cynical, but now I know that our illustrious establishment leaders are only doing what they can for those that need them the most.
Where have you been the last eight years?
While candidate Obama came to office pledging to end George W Bush’s wars, he leaves office having been at war longer than any president in US history. He is also the only president to serve two complete terms with the nation at war.
Maybe I should start writing essays on "Today's hypocrisy" as opposed to "Today's Humor". I see very little funny in current political news. Maybe I have a shriveling sense of humor (though some might doubt I ever had one). You can't go 24 hours without some monumental bits of hypocrisy. They are so common as to be as grains of sand and therefore ignored due to desensitization.
Donald Trump, hereafter to be referred to by a medical acronym DT ( = delirium tremens, a severe alcohol-withdrawal syndrome with occasional lethality) has already had his first scandals--even before he was in office. No, not crude language but his choices for a number of cabinet positions. The most obviously terrible is Betsy DeVos for Education Secretary. The funder of "Conversion Therapy" groups.
Just like anybody who voted for Hillary is fine with escalating tensions with Russia over Syria, which can't possibly go wrong or further destabilize the country and bring yet more misery to the brown and black people there.
Just like anybody who voted for Hillary is fine with destabilizing Libya and bringing countless deaths and untold misery to the brown and black people of that country, in the name of liberation.
Today, upon searching my email, I discovered that the anti-gun violence organization EveryTown has just supported Hillary Goddam Clinton for the presidency! Like many of other progressives, I am stunned.
I am not one of those people who will claim that Hillary shifts to the "center." When you are to the right on far too many issues, the only direction that you can really shift is rightward.
