Party Doesn't Matter in Fight Against Homeless

It seems one way to unite people of both parties against a common enemy is for a church to propose a tent city. It may be just the way the media reports it, but it seems like there are ten people speaking against them for every person who speaks up for them.

It shows how screwed up both the Democrats and Republicans are when it comes to facing that which they support.

If you buy into the stereotyping, Democrats tend to favor government handling things so that people don't go hungry and homeless, while Republicans tend to favor leaving much of it up to charity and private donations. That's why I think people who buy into partisan politics, but speak against tent cities, are so full of shit that they could be given enemas through their ears!

Should Bonds' HR Record Count?

Remember when your teacher told you there was no such thing as a stupid question? That was bullshit.

Maris's record for home runs in a season stood with an asterisk for years. Why? Because he hit 61 home runs in a 162-game season, and Babe Ruth hit 60 in only 154 games. So, who hit the most home runs in a season?

The Old Man and the Lawn

So many things have changed over the years. He was once among the many young men trying hard to learn the answers to questions on tests so they could get into college and avoid the military draft for the ongoing war. He now sits alone on his porch watching young people scurry around thinking only about themselves. No one seems to care about his opinions any longer despite that he is an old man -- and a combat veteran, too.

Kids ignore his demands to get off his lawn. He ends each scolding with, "And I'll be watching out for you," but they don't obey him like he obeyed his neighbor when he was growing up. He turned tail and ran the dozens of times the old man yelled at him to stay off his lawn. He and his friends were almost always already scampering before they heard the old man yell, "That's right! Get out of here!"
