MY red state!!

That may be true, but a Glock in every pocket would create another set of problems.

LOL. This reminds me of the hysteria over government overreach back in the '70s when they phased out leaded gas. To listen to them, you would think it was the end of the world. Along with fuel injection, it was one of the best things to ever happen to cars. Decades later, there's a reduction in violent crime that may be attributable to the elimination of lead in gasoline, among other things.

I want in on the fun. I drive a Toyota Land Cruiser V-8. It get's 16 MPG on the highway. However, I walk as much as possible so I don't run a lot of gasoline through it. It's easy since I live in one of those Communist 15 minute communities. When we were kids, we used to call them small towns, or something like that. Doesn't some guy have a song out called "Try That in a 15 Minute Community?" I think it was a big deal with the MAGA cult a few months ago. I'm really confused.

That's pretty impressive.

Good job. You might consider adding a fuel preservative.

It's mass hysteria.

We are entering the first days of the Age of the Asshole.

Exactly, so maybe it's time to move on to contemporary accomplishments, or lack of accomplishments, whichever is appropriate. Every time a politician drags out a WW2 vet as a prop for his speech I wonder if our fixation on that amazing accomplishment is healthy.

But World War Two! The Greatest Generation!

I'm currently reading the Mueller Report regarding collusion between the Trump Campaign and Russia and the obstruction of justice during the investigation. Some things that struck me were that the main reasons Trump's inner circle did not (effectively) collude were that they were too incompetent and self-interested. Trump really was too dumb to accomplish much of anything other than repeatedly stepping on his own dick. Now, if all the intelligent and effective right wing nut jobs in Washington unite to use Trump as a useful idiot to carry out their own plans, we really are in trouble.

Judge won't toss lawsuit over ivermectin in Washington County, Arkansas jail https://www.4029tv.com/article/ivermectin-lawsuit-washington-county-jail/43364780# "...The case was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union last year against Karas, Karas Correctional Health, former Washington County Sheriff Tim Helder and the Washington County Detention Center. In a written opinion, Brooks said that Karas began conducting his own research and hypothesized the drug could be an effective treatment for COVID-19. Karas prescribed ivermectin to two groups of test subjects. The first was composed of people who sought out Karas’ services at his private medical clinic and agreed to take ivermectin as part of an experimental treatment for COVID-19, Brooks noted. The second set was composed of detainees who were incarcerated at the jail. “The inmates received Dr. Karas’ treatment protocol for COVID-19, but did not know it included Ivermectin,” Brooks wrote. “Dr. Karas and his staff falsely told the inmates the treatment consisted of mere ‘vitamins,’ ‘antibiotics,’ and/or ‘steroids.’ Critically, the inmates had no idea they were part of Dr. Karas’ experiment.” Welcome to Arkansas, convict!

To be clear: I am talking about other people's greed, not my own.

I, for one, am getting sick and tired of having my financial future repeatedly derailed by greed.

Fair enough. I was in grade school, so I don't remember a lot about him.
