Why are so many stupid people located in small counties?

Because stupid people don't have a clue about why their votes destroy this country's future.

So I have Free Republic running in a tab on my computer....

Their version of Latest Breaking News has not changed in the past 2 hours. Only threads covering Trump campaign stops the past couple of days. No new threads being started. I suspect this is JimRob's way of keeping the bad news from bursting the alternate reality bubble.

But rest assured that the 24/7 begathon is still the top story on the page! When isn't he fundraising?

What an accurate presidential library for Donald Trump would look like

An architect's idea on what the Trump Library should look like.

Personally, I think a kiosk with a Twitter machine is all that is needed.

Looking for a Golden / Setter/Retreiver mix.

I need a friend on site. Talking to no one is done.

Don't want Pitties or Terriors.....not my dog type.

I am listening to my 3rd episode, starting with today's release. Season 2 / Episode 4. Titled "Operator". It's about Ron this song he wrote. I lot of stuff from old friends, too. Episode 5 Was the Dead's telecast in 1980, hosted by Franken and Davis. Next up Was "Sugar Magnolia" a fascinating discussion about this tune as a work in progress with Bob Weir joining this segment.

I found this as a relaxing background of quite talk and musical clips that backup the discussion. versus peak political lostmindedness.

Moneyball (2011) - Netflix

Watched this money last night. Was totally entertaining. It is the story of the Oakland Athletics and the team in 2001/2002. It stars Brad Pitt in one of the best roles that I've seen him in. He played Billy Beane, the Atheltic's GM who bought into the statistical analysis of Peter Brand (Jonah Hill). The tension is between Beane/Brand and the rest of the old school scouts and manager. Seymour Hoffman was unrecognizable as Art Howe, the manager, of Oakland. A great role for Hoffman! That was also the year that Oakland won a record breaking 20 straight wins.

In one of the last scenes, Beane interviews with John Henry (Red Sox owner)...he ends up turning down the largest GM salary ever offered...

This is really Brad Pitt's movie. He was pitch perfect in playing this role. Highly recommended.
