Quote I

"I understand that they're not going to relieve any pain. And quite frankly they probably just don't believe me.

Quote II

“An open-minded spirit no longer exists within NPR, and now, predictably, we don’t have an audience that reflects America,” That wouldn’t be a problem for an openly polemical news outlet serving a niche audience. But for NPR, which purports to consider all things, it’s devastating both for its journalism and its business model.Veteran National Public Radio (NPR) editor Uri Berliner

Casa Misanthrope holds onto traditional games. No "inclusive" Scrabble for this family.

You guys ever played Scrabble with a Gen Zer?

It's a terrible time, mostly because they're not allowed to be on their phone.

So now Mattel has come up with a wonderful new version of Scrabble just for Gen Z, Scrabble: Snowflake Edition.

What's next, Participation Trophy Spin The Bottle?

Those of you who follow The ONT know I don't care for soccer. I really don't see the fascination. But to each their own. That said about the game, I'll say this. The fans are die hards. And a little terrorist threat or two won't persuade them from staying away from the game.

Defiant football fans flock to Champions League clashes involving Man City and Arsenal despite ISIS threats: 'I thought about it for a second, then said f*** it, I'm coming to London to drink beer!'

The Democrats are not only communist swine. They are the leading intellects of scientific fact. What a dumb twat.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, a member of the Party of Science, gave instructions on what the moon is made of – gases! Who knew? Most of us thought it was a body of rocks and minerals.

Thanks Chuck.

Man Found Drunk, Naked, Sitting In Garbage Can
Perp claimed he was "allowed" sidewalk display of intoxication

APRIL 8--Arguing that he was not subject to arrest, a Florida Man told police that he “was allowed to be drunk and disorderly and sit naked in a trash can on the public sidewalk,” according to an arrest affidavit.

St. Petersburg cops allege that Wyly James Weeks, 35, was intoxicated, unsteady on his feet, and smelled of booze when they discovered him late Saturday evening on a downtown street.

Weeks, seen at right, was extricated, sans clothes, from a corner trash can and arrested for disorderly intoxication and resisting an officer without violence, both of which are misdemeanors.
