You mean he lied?

I’m shocked. Listening to him you would think he is the modern equivalent of Diogenes’ honest man found.

Thanks

The way I was spelling it didn’t look right and I even looked it up in Merriam’s Dictionary. The dictionary was no help.

Your spelling is the one that looks right that I couldn’t remember.

Great point!

My father commanded the last squadron in the US Army that kept horses in the mid 60’s.

He took me to his squadron HQ and introduced me to his Sargent Major. My father looked at me and said, “He runs the place.”

Even as a 9 year old I could tell that that was true (that my father, a Lt. Col knew this, and openly acknowledged it made him extraordinarily popular with his men).

The Sargent Major was there before my father and was there long after my father left for Vietnam.

The NCO’s are the backbone of every service in the US. That Russia doesn’t have a professional NCO corp blows my mind.

No wonder they suck and can only resort to ineffective brute force.

Thanks for this info.

Her "concerns" were overwhelmed

Judge Ketanji Jackson is as qualified or more qualified than ANY of the current members of the SC.

Glad to see Susan Collins get past her concerns.

Unfortunately, she also got past her “concerns” over Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett.

Pretty adorable

Smart kids.

Good stuff

Well said. I completely agree. We are in one of those “two steps back” eras that I noted during my lifelong readings of history. As the centuries passed these times have become increasingly bloody.

Almost everyone no matter how evil has some sort of redeeming quality...

But I’ll be damned if I can come up with a single one for this guy. Adolf Hitler loved children and dogs. Stalin reportedly also loved children and dogs.

so, I’m at a complete loss as to what, if any, redeeming quality(ies) this bozo has.

he doesn’t like dogs (or any pets that I’m aware of) or children. He wasn’t a good father or husband. He is an incredibly bad businessman.

he’s a really good salesperson, but that’s not one of those traits that makes you go, “Aww” there is a thinking feeling human being in there somewhere.

I truly cannot think of anything. Wrap your mind around that one.

Great work as always. Thanks as always.

Have a request. Could someone translate “Nao sez AWW lots moar kthnxbai”. BTSOM what the exact meaning is…

Funny, profane, righteously angry, incredulous in all the right places...

He’s also a good writer. That he somehow makes things funny that are so not funny shows an amazing talent.
