Aint No Right

The figures I cited, were all on first or second page of Google searches. The income figure I used was based on average annual salary and it put us in 6th or 7th ("not in bottom 5") . It was for 2014, I remember that. Both of our figures are skewed by the upper outliers. People like all of the Reds,...

It's one of the poorest (if not *the* poorest) and least educated states... and the one that would benefit most from federal help. It's hardly good, but not bottom 5 in per capita income. Cost of living is also low though. And while poverty is poverty, and parts have plenty of that (3rd World type ...

Kentucky really fucked up, and elected a Republican Governor. It has never been as Red in state govt. as national office voting. In fact, it will only be our second Republican Governor in my life. Kentucky had been pretty much the example of a success as far as Obamacare is concerned. Our website, a...

A friend of mine, knows Ken Ham personally somewhat. His daughter takes piano lessons from I believe it was Ham's daughter, He lives right down the road from "The Museum of Ignorance" as I have come to refer to it, Ham, and a large portion of the museum people live in newer subdivisions near it. My ...

I just noticed this resurrected thread and It was nice to see my absence was noted early on. I just looked in for a few weeks to see if Sonny revived Xiola, and being fed up with what the band was becoming didn't look for something else. Which was stupid, because I missed the un Jane's related conv...

No teachers should not be trained to id bombs Maybe not when we were growing up, but now they should. It's not a huge amount to learn. It's basically three parts, an explosive, a power source, and an igniter. All someone like a teacher, or rent-a-cop really need to know is to look for the explosive...

David Lovering was on for a week not long ago.

Anyone that is in even a remote position of authority should be trained to ID a bomb. (I got trained, and retrained annually working with planes) It's pretty easy to tell at just a cursory glance at the kid's clock, that there is no explosive. You don't need to know electronics well enough to tell w...

I struggle to understand why people who aren't billionaires in the United States are supportive of policies that only help the rich (and against policies that wouldn't harm anyone but would help the vast majority). Is Reagan's idiotic legacy really that powerful? Because they are kept convinced tha...

A couple of weeks ago, I was reading that there was an Egyptian Telecom Billionaire that wanted to buy an island, off of the coast of Greece, or Italy, and then finance the building of infrastructure on it, employing the refugees (which are a cross section of Syria, and Iraq, occupationally). It wou...

I've not been impressed so far. I miss Dave. And I miss the Report. This is a pretty sad compromise, I was afraid that Colbert was getting out of his wheelhouse. He obviously has. I would also bet the network has him on a short leash, not willing to let him fall back on what made him popular. Carson...

Gotta feel sorry for the Cubs. Their record is 4th best in baseball, after years of being terrible, they'd be in first place in 4 of the 6 divisions, but their division also has the best and 2nd best records in it.

It'd be cool to see RA Dickey get to go to the World series. His stats look like he's had a pretty mediocre year. I threw knuckleballs in little league. When it is working it is hilarious to watch batters try to hit it (not as funny watching your catcher try to deal with it). Unfortunately, when it'...

in the words of Jefferson, the [First Amendment] clause against establishment of religion by law was intended to erect 'a wall of separation between church and State' . . . That wall must be kept high and impregnable. We could not approve the slightest breach Someone should tattoo this on the 3 tim...

At this point my tolerance for pain is pretty unreal, from now years of that constant pain. Needles at the hospital hardly even register with me now, for instance. I was also rather abusive to my body with BMX riding through my teens and early 20's. My knees, ankles and wrists have been arthritic fo...

Shit Goddamn. I just spent over an hour typing a thorough account of what led up to this situation. When I hit submit,it asked me to log in again, and the whole thing was lost. Short answer, that really needs a lot more explanation is alcohol. Not long term, but a year of extremely heavy drinking, a...

They drained 5.1 litres. I don't look like I'm pregnant anymore. And there's room for my lungs to expand, and for food.

And getting that huge needle stuck through your abdominal wall is no less nerve wracking and scary after you've already had it done several times.

Wonder how high some our post counts would be if all of our 1% and Xiola posts were included?

I wouldn't look like a newbie by my count.

Being in the hospital again. I'm all filled up with fluid, from my failing liver, Getting my abdomen tapped, and drained tomorrow. Big needle, right in my side. Not sure why it's all filled up, I haven't needed to be drained in over a year. Now I've been all puffed up in my belly, and my legs and fe...

This what scares me, these people have no problem pegging all Muslims as extremist and terrorists because of the radical few. WELL HELLO! These radical Christians who think everyone should be ruled by "gods law" over THE CONSTITUTION or FEDERAL LAW are no better than Afghanistan, Iran, Mauritania, ...

Alabama got her ass hauled off to jail for contempt of court today. Hasn't this dragged on for several months now? I don't understand why she wasn't fired on day two when she refused to do her job. She's elected, and cannot simply be fired, she must be impeached by the legislature. The judge said s...

So it turns out Lemmy may be a mere mortal after all. I remember he seemed old to still be at it when I saw them...about 18 years ago. I met a guy who was recording in my friend's studio who had been in the band that Dave Lombardo had the first time he left Slayer. They had toured with Motorhead. He...

I tend to think that really clear-headed, well-meaning, intelligent people stay the hell away from politics, partly because like business, politics is full of Type A/sociopathic shitheads manipulating everyone around them (see: Frank Underwood; any law school [sorry ANR law school folks, but it's t...
