All around them inside the downtown Boston homeless shelter, paper footballs and Patriots pennants hung on the wall, and helium-filled balloons added color and cheer as guests in Pats jerseys and hoodies munched on popcorn from red-and-white striped boxes. While Patriots fans around the region prep...

I really like him. But a jump from small city mayor to president is just unrealistic, IMHO. I wish he could get elected governor first. But Indiana will only elect "moderate" democrats, which are basically republicans by the standards of most states. Also, said democrat needs to be a white, straight...

Its currently eleven below (-11 degrees) with a wind chill of negative 27. I'm having to put two sweaters and a coat on my dog to take her out to pee. She is a short-haired, part chihuahua and dachshund (presumably, she was a rescue, so I'm not sure.) and she has huge bald spots on her back where so...

I looked and they do sell Priuses there. How do you think driving a Prius will go over?

Most of my friends drive Priuses, and I'm in a more conservative city than Indianapolis. I don't think anyone will look twice.

I have enjoyed his posts and am very sorry to hear of his passing. My sympathies to his family and friends. He seemed like a very special person. He will be missed.

I live in northern Indiana. I'm a born and raised hoosier, so I'm somewhat biased, but I like it here. Indiana is definitely red, but it's definitely a "find your tribe" type of place. I grew up in the red suburban edge of the city, and now live in the blue downtown, and its like two different world...

Somewhat off-topic, but still relevant: After watching "The Crown" I've become kind of interested in the history of the royal family in the 20th century, and have been reading a biography of Wallis Simpson. It's interesting to see how much the concerns about the ex-king's socializing with Nazis are ...

For some reason, I can't copy it. But there's a meme going around facebook with a screenshot from the dancing video and a caption that says "dance like republicans are watching."

Shamelessly stolen from Facebook:

"The ghosts of three presidents came to the residence to offer advice to Trump.

Washington: “Listen to the people.”
Jefferson: “Tell the Truth.”
Lincoln: “Go to the theater.”

WaPo Three dead in national parks as shutdown wears on Three days after most of the federal workforce was furloughed on Dec. 21, a 14-year-old girl fell 700 feet to her death at the Horseshoe Bend Overlook, part of the Glen Canyon Recreation Area in Arizona. The following day, Christmas, a man died...

There was an article a couple of weeks ago, which I didn't post here and now can't find, which basically posited that Tesla's big accomplishment was building an electric vehicle, unreliable but loaded with impressive bells and whistles, while having an idiot as a CEO. I think that basically sums it ...

Since I became a criminal defense lawyer, I have found that prison rape jokes no longer amuse me very much. Probably for the best. Stone and Corsi shanking each other, on the other hand, would be apropos as all get out. They'd both miss. But each of them might hit himself in the attempt. Can you sh...

We've had 2 instances of people shooting into occupied vehicles and hitting someone in the last month. In one, a bullet went through a 2 year olds leg and lodged in his 1 year old sister's chest. In the other, a 12 year old was shot in the leg and the 14 year old was shot in the foot. Both were com...

The more I think about it, I'm beginning to think the ''nude selfie'' is a random picture of a random person that was on some cell phone that was taken at the airport or some such. The inclusion of the very phrase ''nude selfie'' was inserted into what would otherwise be a non-news event filing of ...

I don't know for sure, obviously, but I highly doubt he bought them. It's just one of those many lies he tells to cover up that he is homeless and broke. Re: his wife Sondra (sandra? whatever). I used to feel sorry for her, but now that I've seen the video of mutual stupidity and dangerous behavior ...

I, after years of being dismissive of the people who geek out over science fiction/comic book movies, has just discovered Dr. Who. If you need me, I will be on the couch, binge-watching. Which one, though? The ones with David Tennant. I don't think the older ones are available on Amazon Prime. Alth...

On the issue of having children believe in Santa Claus: I was never told that Santa was supposed to be real. Instead of being stunned to learn that Santa Claus was a fable, I was stunned to learn that some kids believed he was real. And even after I was told that some kids believed, I never seemed t...

Dawn was very great to open her home to me, give me a warm comfortable place to live. But I have been paying out almost twice what we agreed on. But we need groceries. The water and electric need to be paid. I buy a majority of the food and stuff for the house. Ends up being around 400$ a month. I ...

South Carolina girl, 7, who spoke to Trump about Santa says she still believes The child who President Trump queried about their belief in Santa Claus has been identified as a 7-year-old South Carolina girl who, yes, still believes in jolly old St. Nick. "I was like, 'wow' I was shocked," Collman t...

Roadscholar: I am so very very sorry for your loss. How devastating.

It's coming AFTER CHRISTMAS!!!!!! The event we've all been waiting for!! After Christmas.jpg :smoking: Is this another Jade Helm? Jade Helm, the sequel? Jade Helm 2, Electric Boogaloo? Sheeesh, it's a sad day when the crazies are recycling old ideas. And they complain that Hollywood is out of new i...

Vic, that rash looks miserable! I hope it clears up soon! And AndyinPa, I'm glad your husband is doing better!

Have I just missed this bit of explanation in the news stories? The tax they pay for fuel, says my friend in France, is paid all at once. To have an extra $400 that you must pay now is what they object to, not so much the tax itself, although that is what is being whipped up, the tax itself, not th...

My God. Just two hours ago, before the ceremonies are set to start and he's tweeting about China and OPEC. And this: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1070315986287583232 Looking forward to being with the Bush family. This is not a funeral, this is a day of celebration for a great man who ...
