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?

Oh Sure, Clone Williams Now

Ted Williams is arguably the best left fielder in the history of baseball. He won batting titles, home run titles, and even the triple crown - twice. He was an eighteen time All Star, an All-Star MVP, and even the league’s MVP - twice. He launched a home run in his last at bat in 1960 and left the game as perhaps the greatest player to never win the World Series.


At least in the lifetime that ended last Friday.

The Splendid Splinter’s body lies frozen awaiting either a fiery end or permanent deep freeze, depending on the outcome of the likely legal battle between his children.

Top Secret Documents with Biden Less Like Mar-a-Lago and More Like Watergate

When news broke last week that top secret documents had been discovered in an office used by Joe Biden, the cries of hypocrisy and double standards rose from the right like it was the 15th ballot and Biggs just voted "present." However, the differences between that and the Mar-a-Lago raid are so significant that even people with Lauren Boebert's level of education might understand them if the differences were drawn out for them in pictures. My hope is to inspire thought, and I accept that thinking is not something people like Boebert do often. 

Anyway, for the rest of you, here are the reasons that the top-secret documents found stored improperly in Biden's possession is not like the Mar-a-Lago raid. In fact, it is probably no more scandalous than the cover-up of the Watergate break-in by Nixon.

Biden's people discovered the documents and notified the National Archives and the DOJ. The documents in Trump's possession were requested and then demanded by the National Archives. The documents weren't returned. Many boxes of documents were seized by the DOJ via an FBI raid on Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. In Biden's case, a dozen or so documents were discovered and immediately returned.

Republican Infighting Signals End of Party Unity

With the party torn between those who want to see democracy collapse for profit and those who want to see democracy collapse for fun, the Republican party is facing an identity crisis. This crisis is on the level of when the party changed from being the party of civil rights that freed enslaved people, to the party that went after the Dixiecrat vote to exploit Kennedy calling Dr. King in 1960. Both parties knew that call pretty much blew it for the Democrats to remain the chosen party for racists. 

It started a cross-migration of parties for people. Democrats like Strom Thurmond changed parties from Democrat to Republican in 1964. Sometime between 1964 when she worked on Goldwater's campaign and 1974 when Bill ran for attorney general of Arkansas as a Democrat, Hillary Clinton changed party affiliations. Even Ronald Reagan changed parties in the early '60s.

Conservatives are the Worst People; Liberals are the Next Worst, and for the Exact Same Reason

When Hubbell proved the universe was expanding, Einstein had to make the decision to either accept the evidence as truth or stand on his theory of relativity that was premised on a static universe. Einstein chose to accept the evidence and rework his theory based on the truth that Hubbell had proven. Einstein preferred the idea of a stable universe over one that expands, but he gave up his prejudice when truth was discovered that proved it was incorrect.

That was then, and that was Einstein. 

Everyone has access to speak publicly about that which is important to them. For some people, it is to call people names for writing something they can't or won't read. They see trigger words like "conservative" or "liberal" and they want to argue as if they know what they are talking about. Of course, the conservatives are the worst because you have to be really stupid to support rich people who don't care about you. The liberals are the next worst, and for the exact same reason.

Bitch with an Agenda

For twenty-one years Jane Milhans has had a vanity plate that reads 'John 3:16.' She calls it a message of love.

Now some stupid atheist bitch has complained to the state for issuing the plate with a religious message. This fucking whore wrote, in part, 'I was offended that I have to prayed over by a license plate.'

Don't Blame Judges Because You Elect Dumbshits

Laws are reactive by nature. Nobody can dream up something like you can't carry goldfish on a bus unless some assholes cause problems carrying goldfish on buses and there are enough people with wet feet to elect someone who pledges to do something about the problem. Unfortunately, once that problem is solved, the guy who got elected has to pledge to fix other problems, or his worthlessness will be unveiled.

Often, these people pledge to make a law in honor of some dead person. These are the worst types of laws because they generally are an attempt to make something that is already illegal easier to prove, or to have more teeth.
