Michael Jackson , it was because of him that I really learned how to dance like a negrow .Especially during the late 70s and early 80s when it was still cool for white people to dance like negrows.Now I guess it would be considered racist for me to dance like negrows.Damn ,I miss the disco music . I got pretty good bugging on the dance floor.Still had all my hair , my teeth , was in good shape physically and I had silk shirts with red pants to match. I was a Disco God.
When I was in the military, I was a big MacArthur fan. Then, I learned that most of the stuff I “knew” about him was probably propaganda, since none of the officers I served with had any real hutzpah and were all about kissing ass to get promoted and most of them would throw their own kid under the bus for a good report.
My vote is now for Johns Hopkins, for whom the Johns Hopkins Research University Complex is named. He had a lot going for him early in life, but he’s a favorite, because there is some slight possibility that I’m descended from him, as I’ve inherited a painting by Margaret Hopkins Brown along with a quilt I have high hope of capitalizing on one day, should I ever track someone down who wants to buy the set (and the “provenance” in the form of a very old letter from my grandfather). All very self-serving, since my son is now interning at APL there because he’s a smart little Electrical Engineer willing to work hard and learn.
Self-Interest is truly what promotes the best in Republican government, if you TRULY understand what is best for your own interest.

I was just helping clean up after getting the floor varnished, thinking how our forefathers and mothers shared labor in home building, cleaning, gardening, livestock tending and so on.
I read TBP because I like what JQ chooses to put here as news. I chose to speak up and make myself known a year ago because I thought I had something to add. If I was wrong, I will be a silent onlooker again, reading the news of choice without thumbing anyone, although I might take to anonymously popping the bird to those I have grown to despise with a loathing I can’t shake… I wish I were a man, so I could dribble it on my underwear for my wife to worry about in the laundry, but I cannot do so… Alas, as a lady, I must carefully cleanse myself of any germs, lest I bring home something to infect my family. Shudder at the thought.
Well, before I disappear into that good night, let me assure you my time is not wasted. While you worry about Hillary’s haircut and the latest copfuk shooting, Nick and I have not wasted any effort. While toad bb and assclown EC have discoed the night away and self-aggrandandized their ignoramuses into oblivion, we have not only gotten our red oak floors cleaned (by me), sanded (by Nick), varnished (by Nick) and dried (by God or the Great Wind of the North as LLPOH (whom I will NOT insult having studied the Zuni with great respect as a grad student) might agree has chosen to dry for us.
Lest you think I washed the floor and ran away to drink iced tea and fan myself in the shade, let me assure you that the three pallets of sod I travelled to pick up did not want to plant themselves. Nick helped a bit, but after his surgery on his knee, gave it up and let me roll out the sod while he sanded and varnished the floor (how many of you Giant PUSSIES would have a torn meniscus surgery, then insist on helping offload the sod, varnish the floor and now is downstairs sweeping the basement?)
So, on top of having a very intelligent Junior level 3.8+ Electrical Engineering student at Johns Hopkins interning and devoted to being a good son, I have a devoted and loving husband who is not only virile and beyond HOT, he is the Man in Charge of my home and my heart and he says that everything he sees of the majority of you pussies is everything that keeps him off the net and in his toolshed.
I’m not saying I’m gone. I’m just sayin.
I’m better than bb and EC. And I know it. And they do too.

That would be a damned shame. But, I wouldn’t blame you. Just read your post about John Hopkins and the quilt …….. and that got four fuckin’ thumbs down??!! Of course, it is NOT different people here … it is the SAME four assholes, no doubt … some of whom have no life, other than to follow you around, and drop insults. We suspect we know who they are … it could even be flash, the vote manipulator, the misogynist, dropping all four. It is a weary thing to endure …enduring the fucks who should leave yet they stay, while good people, lovely people, such as yourself wonder if it’s best to hit the trail. Everything is backwards.
But, totally leaving is HARD, as I hope you find out. Stick around and comment at least on Admin’s original pieces … and, mine. I know that whenever I post something original, that I always hope to see comments from a certain group of our regulars … and you are absolutely in that group.

Samuel Clemens,
Though not a politician, he wrote about the politics of his day with an honest pen.
Look at the tyranny of party — at what is called party allegiance, party loyalty — a snare invented by designing men for selfish purposes — and which turns voters into chattles, slaves, rabbits, and all the while their masters, and they themselves are shouting rubbish about liberty, independence, freedom of opinion, freedom of speech, honestly unconscious of the fantastic contradiction; and forgetting or ignoring that their fathers and the churches shouted the same blasphemies a generation earlier when they were closing their doors against the hunted slave, beating his handful of humane defenders with Bible texts and billies, and pocketing the insults and licking the shoes of his Southern master.
I am quite sure now that often, very often, in matters concerning religion and politics a man’s reasoning powers are not above the monkey’s.
In religion and politics people’s beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue but have taken them at second-hand from other non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass farthing.
…one of the first achievements of the legislature was to institute a ten-thousand-dollar agricultural fair to show off forty dollars’ worth of pumpkins in — however, the Territorial legislature was usually spoken of as the “asylum”.
