I like the rebel hamster! And the irony memes too.
Interesting article about witches. I know a gazillion witches, almost none of whom are Wiccan.
Thanks for posting the Bert and Ernie tweets where Frank Oz learns something. And all those hilarious #himtoo memes -- that post made my day!
I think people's views change over time for the most part. Seeing things as I get older I know my views have sure changed.
Stan Brock started RAM to bring health care to remote folks in the Amazon, and other remote thread-world areas. That the bulk of their work now happens in America should be a source of deep nationwide shame.
Browsing the links, Thanx. I would hope that the Democrats win the House back, I dont even care if they're progressive this time, although, the more progressive the more I like. I would hope dems on this one, just turn out big time. I seen Alex Cortez get some criticism from progressives, because she supported Cuomo (governor) ... but it's best that she does support him, even if he's not progressive. The Republicans are so hard to reason with these days too, they're like on this extreme right "high", you know, even big time on the religious trip, even spending out the ass, on pointless shit like wanting walls, billions to corporations, so they can do stock by backs or whatever (I feel the much is over- valued, and this "high/ fantasy" cant last forever, shit is so volatile too). But yeah, I expect Republicans to push the economy card and jobs card big time too. Many folks are unaware, that even a person working a few hours a week is considered as "employed", so there is much more to them figures than what they promote, and it's not as rosey as it seems. I know early voting starts here on monday october 22nd, I alwayz vote early. Yep, plenty of Cruz Beto ads on tele back to back, Cruz just sayz Beto wanted to raise gas tax and is anti oil and gas and un- Texan values, etc. Later ....
I've been following the Cruz/O'Rourke race in TX.
I knew who Cruz was, of course, but had never seen him in a debate. What a complete slimeball.
I want to see him lose based just on that one appearance, although I have a lot of TX friends who've filled me in on other reasons he's a piece of crap.
Love all the links as usual, the male author thing cracked me up. As one of those women who have to hold everything up top when I move fast, I get it.
And has society always been filled with lunacy?
Guess it really has.
That Bert Farias article made me chuckle. Typical conservative religionists view of liberal thought. In the minds of the conservative religionists on demonic satanic possession can account for people embracing liberal or progressive thought.
We are living in interesting times indeed.
That photo! Wow... Scary, too.
HAHA! The non-conformist getting exercise is hilarious :)
I've been told throughout my life that I'll become more and more conservative as I got older. Well that never happened. I just keep getting more and more progressive and liberal as I age.
And some people I know here in Canada keep tossing the name George Soros around to explain how 'libtards' like myself are being led along like sheep and I honestly have no clue who the hell George Soros is.
Debra: I'm out of touch with witchcraft these days. Thought they were mostly Wiccan, but I guess not.
Funny that that woman posted a false claim about her son to protest people posting false claims about men.
Mary: My views have evolved too, but I wouldn't want to actually eat the rich. They're probably all fatty and stringy.
Bruce: It should be, indeed.
Ranch: Ocasio-Cortez gets it. Democrats need to stick together. Her own primary opponent, a very establishment guy, fully endorsed her, after all.
Ami: It's not looking so great for O'Rourke at the moment, but there's still three weeks to go.
Rational: As long as they attribute everything to Satan, sin, etc., they don't have to address the real reasons people become liberal or turn against religion. of course, that means they can't argue very effectively.
Martha: Contrary to popular belief, most people become more liberal with age. I certainly have.
