Wanted a litter box for my 12 pound cat. Largest litter box at the pet store was $35.00. Found a bigger, stronger box at the hardware store for $8.00. And it comes with a sealing lid.

He attacked Lincoln after helping him get elected. Almost as if a War breaking out changed things.

“The Source Of The Nile” by Avram Davidson. Science fiction short story.

Ad man is always looking for the next big thing. One day he notices some kids wearing their sneakers cut up. A few days later he realizes that the fad has exploded. He patiently tracks down where the fad started. It turns out there’s one family that starts all the fads. It’s never explained why or how, just that somehow these people are the ones who decide what’s going to be popular for the rest of the world.

This is one reason to keep some cash on hand.

I like to point out that Frederick Douglas worked for Lincoln even when Lincoln was not running on ending slavery.

It’s amazing how many people on the ‘Left’ think that Douglas was a traitor to his principles.

When the bring out the MLK letter from Birmingham Jail, I point out that King never explicitly supported LGBTQIA+ rights, even though one of his most important aides was gay. Suddenly, understanding the historic situation becomes important.

Bush had a war a week and crashed the economy.

Bush II started a forever war that spent $5 trillion on making sure every kid in the world grew up looking at Abu Ghraib photos.

Trump promised to build the Wall and get Mexico to pay for it.

They have plenty of things to be mad about. Too bad they are all self inflicted wouldns.

Right Wing defines “Left” as anyone with the least bit of empathy and/or basic intelligence.

Real “Leftists” exclude any potential ally who disagrees on any point, no matter how obscure.

I am abashed and ashamed. I shall edit my post and give you full credit.

One of my all time favorite Trek moments was the DS9 episode where O’Brian, Sisko and a few others crashland on a planet. Sisko and O’Brian crawl out of the wreckage and O’Brian says “Damn!”

“Are you all right, Chief?”

“Yes, sir. I’m fine, but I tore my pants”

Hilarity ensues.

My work here is done.

The Dems threw out powerful elected officials like Cuomo and Franken.

Trump’s GOP just went to the mat for an actual human trafficker, Andrew Tate.

Besides going to a dermatologist, here are a few things.

Change your pillowcases often. Sleeping on the oil creates more oil.

Take some steam baths and saunas. Open the pores and clear the skin.
