Recent BBC News article about a 9000 year old settlement found outside of Jerusalem.

Someone put a bit of effort into this used car ad for a Ford "Explorer".

The sight of those arrogant Texas police officers standing behind Gov. Abbott with their......

....smug expressions and fucking Stetson hats makes me both sick and angry. You idiots and cowards bear some responsibility for these deaths, and if you can't accept that, or even act like you do by taking that dumb hat off and showing a little respect for those dead kids, you and your pride don't belong in law enforcement. Quit your job, retire, go do something else and please, please don't expect to get work after retirement as a "school security officer" as you may have been thinking.

This episode of "Southpark" should be enough to sink Dr. Oz's campaign.

Remember when, after 9/11, the Republicans were so anxious about "Homeland Security", that along....

.....with creating a entire new government agency, they pushed through laws allowing it to tap into main telephone trunk lines to monitor and record massive numbers of telephone calls? The fear was that our privacy was being eroded by an overzealous response to national security.

It's been a few years since "George Dubya" and his pal "Brownie" screwed up New Orleans.

Let's hope that this storm isn't as severe, the Corps of Engineer improvements do their job and the city does not flood like the last time.

This article by Arundhati Roy explains how the autocratic government of India's Modi.....

......has created the almost unimaginable Covid crisis that they are now facing. Please take into account that this article was published almost a week ago and things have only gotten much worse.

Twenty-one year old white man goes into Charleston church and kills nine people. Twenty-one....

....year old white man goes into Atlanta area beauty parlors and kills eight people. The media reaction, the amount of coverage of these two similar events has been quite different. Why do you suppose that is? Black folk versus Asian folk? Church versus Beauty Parlor? A Pastor and his flock versus hairdressers and nail technicians? All of the above?
