is that it is the citizens that will end up paying, not the individuals who made the asinine and political decision.

Student sues school because he was kicked out of class for wearing a Pro-Border Wall t-shirt. 

We need to figure out a way that the perpetrators of such misjudgement will be held personally responsible rather than the taxpayers that employ ’em. 

How long it takes for Starbucks to go under?

I mean, now that anyone can sit in their booths and use their bathrooms…..and never be asked to pay or anything…buy a coffee or a cookie or a drink….

‘Cause I am willing to be that most of their customers, despite leaning to the Left and having “egalitarian” beliefs, won’t want to share a table with some dude who is homeless and hasn’t showered in a month…..and who trims his toenails where it is air conditioned and sleeps where it is warm in the winter…..Or find some chick shooting up in the bathrooms…..

I predict a large fall off in sales at Starbucks in Urban locations. Rapidly, once people realize that they can just stay there all day….

I mean, Zombies!  WTF?

If the State is warning you about ’em….

I mean who would have guessed?

Parkland survivor’s dad: David Hogg and Cameron Casky love each other, but not romantically

Rumor has it that they are taking each other to Prom.
(not that there is anything wrong with that, mind you).

Or this could just be a last grasp for some residual fame…

I’m really trying to give a shit here, but it just won’t happen. 

I guess Journalism majors, in addition to not learning english or spelling, don’t learn any basic chemistry or physics either…..

USA Today: ‘Hawaii volcano poses a new threat: Acid from Kilauea’s lava, called ‘laze,’ pouring into the ocean’…which is kinda wrong. (The lava interacting with the seawater creates, among other things, hydrochloric acid vapor, which is bad for lungs)

This is a natural process, giving off vaporized hydrochloric acid and fine particles of “glass”. Happens every time that lava meets the ocean…every time…..No surprise to anyone who pays attention, but to the media and apparently most journalists, this is both a surprise and a scary new phenomenon. Apparently, it frightens them as well. The CBS newscritters are surprised at this and frightened by it and are also under the impression that a simple N-100 mask can keep you safe (it won’t).

I’m no genius, but I understood this sort of thing after high school chemistry and physics for gods sake. Apparently though, journalists never learn anything…even though they supposedly went to college?

Keeps saying that the asshole shooter in Santa Fe TX left behind both some Molotov coctails and some “CO2 explosives”.

What, exactly are “CO2 explosives”?

Is this just the uneducated (as to anything worth knowing)  repeating what they thought they heard? Or was there an actual device and it was, perhaps somehow powered by or charged by CO2? It is awfully hard to get CO2 to do anything …energetically… as far as I know. I mean, pressure vessels, yes, but explosive?  For all intents and purposes CO2 is pretty inert. It would be a great dispersant for a powder or an aerosol, perhaps….

I’m just curious as to what, exactly the media is chattering about here.

Any idea? 

Seems that my friend Tam has had an incident.

Good thoughts sent her way, please. more if you can. 

DB Cooper was one of my heroes. He thumbed his nose at everyone and got away with it….and hurt no one in the process. Yes, he was a criminal, and a thief, but his methods were good, and he had class….and style.

They claim that the mystery from 1971 is solved….

Walter Reca?  Was he really “DB Cooper”? Did his friends really know…and were they really part of his conspiracy?

Supposedly, his identity is now revealed. And Walter Reca is dead of old age.

(18 minute video)

I dunno. But they claim they have taped confessions and a written confession.

 Fox News thinks so, apparently…
Others, not so much

FBI conspiracy? Did they really let him get away with the Hijacking just so they could use him for other purposes?
Seems odd, but then again, things like that happened back then.

Maybe just an attempt to sell a book?
We will likely never know.

So, via Kens place, we get this:

For his 100th birthday on June 6 — which comes 74 years after he was miraculously pulled off a Normandy-bound boat on D-Day — Michigan WWII veteran Isaac “Ike” Fabela has just one wish, his family said.


Fabela will be anxiously checking his mail, as the happy and humble vet hopes to rack up 100 birthday cards from well-wishers across the country.

Send the dude a card. A couple a bucks won’t hurt ya too bad, and it’ll make his day.

Address, in case you didn’t follow the link:

Ike Fabela
C/O Nick Rodgers
PO Box 3112 Montrose, MI

If doing an old vet a favor…if that is too much bother, then I hope I never meet you.
Srsly. 

Overheard in the checkout line:

“A Caddylak cost de same as a Ford, you just be payin’ longer”…

I blinked.
Took a minute to process what I had just heard….

And from one perspective, he’s right…If you think that short term, that is. The same is true of Toyota/Lexus, or Honda/Acura.
