New York resident here.

I figured that after the hoopla he’d be bogged down by entrenched bureaucrats and stymied by inertia.

I don’t know how he’s doing it, but I hope he doesn’t slow down.

I can’t remember the comic who said it.

“I want to meet a guy on a dating app. I also realize that any guy who is good at internet dating is probably going to be a pig.”

A woman did this back in 2018.

Invited a bunch of guys from Tinder to meet her in a NYC park and then let the drama unfold.

Reminds me of an old story.

The King asks his grandson what a king’s job is?

The lad says that a king’s job is to make good decisions. The King says no, a king’s job is to make terrible choices.

He goes on. Anyone can make a good decision, because those are usually pretty obvious. When the choice isn’t obvious, it gets ‘kicked upstairs.’ The cop hands the choice to a judge, who kicks it to the appellate court, and so on. Eventually the King has to choose between two equally bad options.

Check which local politician has made it part of their platform.

Go support them.

Not really.

Take the first one. Someone can work hard to improve themselves, but have a realistic idea of how far they can go. Maybe I’ll take a chance and open a hot dog stand of my own; I shouldn’t expect to outdo Burger King or KFC.

You can take risks safely. A scuba diver can explore a cave with a trained buddy and proper equipment, or just swim in alone.

All the people who fought in the Tojan War are long dead, but Homer’s words still live on.

How is ‘multiculturalism’ impossible? Try spending a day in any big city. People use words from different languages all the time. They use chopsticks and European table ware at the same meal.

You don’t even need to go to a big city. Look at the All American cowboy. Pretty much everything you associate with him comes from Mexico. His lariat comes from ‘la riata’ and his Stetson was based on a sombrero.

This is because the American slave owners wanted to be able to sell their own children.

After raping a slave, if she got pregnant they could free their child or keep them as a slave.

Thomas Jefferson’s concubine, Sally Hemmings, was probably 3/4 white, and at least 1/2 white. Her granddaughter created a scandal when she ‘passed’ for white.

If an american tries to call themselves Native because they are 1/32 Native, people laugh at them. But up until a few years ago, being 1/64 Black made you Black.

The really amazing thing about Trump is that I literally can’t find one good thing to say about him. Hitler showed personal bravery in WW1. Stalin was a bank robber. Mao led his troops into battle. No one is saying those guys were anything but monsters, but they had qualities you could respect.

Even comic book villains display some admirable qualities, even if it’s only style.

Trump embodies all Seven Deadly Sins, and has invented a few new ones.

You might want to look up some high end perfumes; they often sell anti=perspirants with the same scent.

If you liked Columbo, watch Law And Order : Criminal Intent.

Vincent D’Onofrio plays a cop with a history of mental illness. You know who did the drime, the fun is watching Vincent ensnare them. Best L&O series.

Robin Williams as a psycho killer and Al Pacino as a spiraling cop.

Watch it.

It’s not original to me, and yes it is hilarious.

Pass it on with my compliments.

Don’t waste your time reading about it. Watch and enjoy.

In honor of your pronouns…

I identify as a candy bar.

My pronouns are Her/shey

About fifty people get shot and one guy is killed and chopped up and turned into sausage.

It’s not a prestige drama.

Reminds me of an old one. nsfw

Lumber camp in the Yukon. A skinny little fellow wearing a bow tie walks into the saloon and asks the boss for a job.

“Get out of here, you puny midget! This is a job for two fisted he-men, not shrimps like you!”

“Wait!” cries one of the crew. "Let’s give him a test.

“Here’s what you ahve to do. First, drink a quart of moonshine. Then go out and shoot a bear. Last thing is make love to the ugliest girl at the bordello. Think you can handle it?”

The little guy walks over to the bar, grabs a quart of whisky, downs it in one gulp, then strides out.

The next morning the little guy walks into the camp. He’s bleeding from a million cuts.

“Now gimme a rifle and show me the whorehouse!”

I recently hunted this movie down, because how bad could an action movie with Gene Hackman and Lee Marvin be?

Pretty bad.

My immediate thought was that someone had died or had gotten some other terrible news.

Nice to think it’s adults being mischievous

One of the funniest internet arguments I ever had was with a guy who swore that One Punch Man was more popular then Superman. Not stronger or a better hero, he thought the bald guy was more well-known and beloved than Clark Kent.
