Humor for the day
Today I deleted all the German names off my cell. Now it's Hans free.

What happens if you hack Dolly Madison.
People have fallen in love with:
Dunkin Stix
Angel Food Cake
and of course,
ZINGERS.
Shh. Don't tell Hostess.

Republican presidential candidates like Carly Fiorina openly object to the notion of laws guaranteeing paid maternity and paternity leave, which would benefit families greatly, but they never hesitate to profess their love of protecting non-viable zygotes. Her proud pro-life rhetoric is as laughable as her unsuccessful stint at Hewlett-Packard.
Doesn't such contradiction in logic eventually lead to spontaneous combustion?
Fiorina is "Pro-Life" yet against paid maternity leave

The sheriff of Bradford County in Florida shared a dash cam video on his Facebook page showing an older white man being Tasered after stepping out of his SUV and aggressively approaching an officer complaining about the lights on his police cruiser, WJAX reports.
He looked like the angry "Sovereign Citizen" lunatic to me.
If this guy was African-American I think he would be dead, not tasered.

A Great Anniversary: 41 years ago today Nixon Resigns.
I remember it well. For me it ranks up there with the Apollo moon landing as a truly memorable occasion. Today, at the his library, they should have a guy in a Nixon mask greet everyone with that infamous last wave before he boarded the helicopter.

By all accounts, including his own, Senator Lindsey Graham was a good military lawyer during the six and a half years he spent on active duty in the Air Force before he entered politics.
Since leaving active duty in 1989 and joining the Air Force Reserve, Mr. Graham, a Republican from South Carolina who is running for president, appears to have performed very little substantive work for the Air Force. Yet, he rose in rank to colonel and remained in the service until his retirement in June, which entitles him to a monthly $2,773 pension.
Banging the war drums on Iran, collecting an undeserved pension, Graham is the typical Reich Wing chicken hawk, hold your coat while you fight, low-life.
