If not for his name and background, voters would be clamoring for him to run for president in 2028.

Our No Kings signs are showing their age. I'm looking forward to when we can retire them.

Took our guy to the vet for a checkup yesterday. He was furious - he growled and moaned and resisted the whole time. I thought he'd never forgive me, but apparently we're good now.

If charities feel they must send address labels, could they please stop sending metallic labels that can't be recycled, as well as plastic junk like membership cards? Generating garbage should not be a sideline for an organization that purports to help the world.

Here we have it in all its glory.

For anyone wondering what I've been up to for the last two years: my new Inspector Lok novel, East Hell, is now available. If you're interested in Hong Kong suspense, please have a look at EastHellBook.com

Frightening

The funniest joke ever. 😂

This administration would be so funny if it wasn’t so historically embarrassing and destructive. America deserves serious leaders.

My three favorite words in any text I receive are "Stop to End."

Usually I dislike "cute" or funny capsule biographies, whether on social media profiles or elsewhere, but I cracked up when the narrator of Pseudopod episode 1047 stated that they are "still a disappointment to their family, friends, and cow."

Safe to say the people of Kentucky are not being represented properly

Question re the $5000 offer: if I am stopped by a police officer for speeding and I tell her I'll give her money if she lets me off, even if I have no intention of making good on my promise - if she lets me off, have I committed a crime?

Utterly brilliant.

And who will his replacement be? People, this is one-level checkers. Just no.

The main difference between the Bible and The Lord of the Rings is that when someone calls The Lord of the Rings their favorite book, they’ve probably read it.

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on - if your position is that the president of the United States and his family should be immune from IRS scrutiny, you’re unqualified to be the Attorney General. It’s an indictment on our entire system that 50 GOP Senators don’t agree.

This is horrific. What if you need to get someone to the hospital, and you're stuck watching an ad before you can start the car?

The President is determined to bring to justice the vandals who attacked the reflecting pool. After that he has promised to find out who had the duplicate key to the icebox with the strawberries.
