A bible can bring people closer to the truth. Especially short people. I let them stand on mine to look through the telescope.

"How many trans people does it take to change a lightbulb?

Just one. But you have to sit in the dark for a year to prove it's really out, endure constant questioning from parents and friends asking if you couldn't just get used to the dark, because it's so much easier, and you need two letters from electricians (at least one of whom must hold a PhD) confirming that you know the risks of changing a lightbulb."

To those who think that more guns prevent mass shootings: If you start shooting back in a panicked crowd (and manage not to harm innocents because your aim is perfect), you'll get shot by the police or some other gun hero because how is anyone supposed to know you're not with the shooter

I am really trying to understand. Help me out here. How will dedicating a golf trophy help the people of Puerto Rico?

"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum."

Well, tomorrow is Monday and I have to be on the road by 4:30 am, driving my fellow veterans to their appointments at the VA hospital. It is a 300 mile round trip, and I usually go two or three times a week, often four, not bad for a volunteer, we need more volunteer drivers, here in Sierra County, NM. I am starting to get burned out, I have almost 1100 volunteer hours since the beginning of this year.

Well, thanks for putting up with my rant, I feel a little better.

Is it just me, or does the biggest threat to our national security seem to be its leader?

Any of my pals around? Can't be the only one who came here following Jim Wright's call :-)

I'm not sure how this is going to go, since the only one I "know" so far on this platform is @Stonekettle and Jim is one of the few people I faithfully follow...but since the whole Twitter thing has me flummoxed even with 280 characters, because truthfully I tend to write too much and think too much and too often that gets lost in an era where so many people live a Cliff Notes kinda existence ...damn...what was I saying again?...I still have room to type....ok....um.... 🤔

Every look at your dog looking at you and think "damn, he's disappointed in me"? I HAD TO GO OUT OF TOWN TO A FUNERAL. I'M SORRY. :-(

Americans who today think patriotism means unquestioning obedience to a flag...

...would have, 240 years ago, thought the same about a King

@Stonekettle I'm seeing a lot of people telling Puerto Rico to just clear their roads so Trump can help them help themselves.

Harlan is only one of many science fiction writers who can wield a biting tongue.

Thanks for letting me stay. MSNBC is shutting the Newsvine down tomorrow. So this seem like a good place to hang out.
