That was a loose quote from a Zappa song about the Watts Riots. Personally I'm part German, part English, part Peruvian, and part Punjabi. Does that disqualify me from quoting Zappa?

Remember that the Neo-Nazi Pre-Maggot conspiracy "theorists" were ranting that Obama had FEMA building concentration camps? This is their typical MO, preemptively accusing Democrats of their own crimes. Remember Pizzagate?

Thanks for the repost. I love those old Britcoms. The Two Ronnies made Benny Hill look like a schoolboy.

History sez: the Electoral College was formed as a consession to the slave holding states. It should never have existed and should be immediately abolished.

I take exception to that "boomer" accusation. I've been fighting the good fight for 56 years. Ageist and ableist prejudice is not acceptable. "I'm not black, but sometimes I wish I could say I'm not white." - Frank Zappa "Trouble Comin' Every Day" Don't call me a racist, asshole.

I assume you're talking about the shock gloves... The thing is that, like lot of the "non-lethal weapons," these things are in fact lethal.

A young man close to me was falsely accused, falsely convicted, and falsely imprisoned for a crime that never happened. He wasn't a rich frat rat.

This is not controversial to me. There really are no words to describe the horrors of the Nazi regime and those who are trying to revive it. See Lee Miller's photographs. I totally agree, Hillary Clinton was too mild. The MAGATs probably had to look the word up.

Many years ago, I dated a woman who had had serious plastic surgery...for birth defects. I fell hard for her and would have happily married her. But I think she thought I was only toying with her. C'est la vie.

"The Stepford Wives" a la Mira Lodo. Translation: "The Stepford Wives" was a movie about a gated community where that wives were converted into "perfect." Mira Lodo was was a Mexican village in an episode of "Get Smart." It means "look at the mud." Reminds me of Mar-a-Lago. Banditos kidnapped...

The Russians have kidnapped their victims children for centuries. Read your Tolstoy. It's barbaric, like the Ottomans.

Have you read "A Spectre is Haunting Texas" by Fritz Leiber? Maybe a little obscure novel written by one of the golden age science fiction and fantasy authors. It was very prescient, although (spoiler alert) the good guy had the exoskeleton.

And Santa Ana fell because of stupid pride. Wish for the same for the Moron in Chief.

Yes, I put the shopping carts in the return slots. And I'm nice to the people who push the stacks back to the store, some of them are mentally handicapped. There's no reasonable reason to make their lives harder.

Did Jesus make Muscat or Shiraz? And, although He could have, He probably didn't make Boone's Farm or Mad Dog.
