Some of the dumbest, most ignorant people I have known had a collage degree. Just look at the ignorance of most of our so-called leaders.

“How do you deprogram MSNBC viewers?”

Only difference is the angle of the slant of the propaganda. So MSNBC deprogramming is the same as Fox deprogramming.

We are killing people the world over, as a means to an end*, while we neglect our own people here at home. The first shows our general lack of empathy, the second proves it.

*Correctly put. A little bit of diplomacy would do a better job, but wouldn’t be as profitable.

So many 3 & 4 letter agencies that is is hard to tell friend from foe. Never mind those that flip back and forth too.

Between “Winner Take All”, the people picked to be on the electoral voters and Electoral Collage people being free to vote however they wish, the Electoral Collage has become just more corruption in our election process. There is no reason we cannot vote directly for the President. None This rural vs cities and the rest of it, are nothing more…[Read more]

Good on them! Let’s hope the message gets through before it gets used… Or not, which is another message.

How about we tightened up the laws and regulations on semiautomatic firearms. Even the military doesn’t use the rapid firepower everyday civilians can buy in most any gun store.

No, she was in England. Apparently the steering wheel being on the right, wasn’t enough of a clue.

How is Trump still President and the Republicans still in power? How stupid are most people?

Good, this is not dead. The mighty have a long way to fall.

Ignorant, out of touch white men should not be making medical decisions for women on how to live their lives through the rule of law.

It is not that easy. You have to meet certain criteria, such as being self supporting or have certain job skills in demand. Plus you can lose your Social Security, if you don’t spend 6 months of every year in the United States.

The “common cold” is common because the virus mutates so easily, the body has a hard time keeping up. Otherwise we’d all be immune to the common cold.
This new virus could very well could be traced back to some mutated cold virus. Just mutated enough that the body doesn’t recognize it soon enough, so the body doesn’t build up any defenses against…[Read more]

Being a bit paranoid is a good survival tactic now-a-days. Or any time for that matter.
When you assume the worst, then you can be pleasantly surprised when it doesn’t happen. That is good for the mental health.
If one is normally optimistic that things will be OK, how does one handle the ongoing disappointments most of the time?…[Read more]

Thanks for the ‘toons. These are the most biggly bestests.

But, but, but… It’s politics. You can say anything you want, about any politician, no matter how baseless and fact challenged it is. Just ask anyone from Mitch McConnell to any hillbot. The leaders in any Republican controlled legislature will tell you the same thing, as long as they are not the target, that is.

Another symptom of too many people for this planet to support. We are too crowded. We really, really need to make birth control socially acceptable. Stop thinking of pregnancy as some kind of miracle to be celebrated. It is not.

It’s a big club and Bernie ain’t in it. That is why he is so popular.

5. Why do you interrogate politicians over the price tags of social programs but not war? 

CNN devoted the first portion of last week’s debate to war, military deployment and foreign conflict—but not one of the 25 questions from CNN journalists or the other moderators asked about the price tag of endless war and militarism. This despite the fa…[Read more]

Sorry. Not in my case though. I just get a bit quieter. But other than that I stay nice.
I never much like beer, too bitter.
