The "failed governor" survived a recall attempt and was reelected for a second term with 59% of the vote, which is more than Trump can say.

The water is too damn cold, with surf 8 inches high. No swimming, no boogie boarding, and so today we shall visit Lincoln's 1864 Christmas present from General Sherman. The ocean temp around your location is around 65-67 Fahrenheit. Um... oh boo-hoo. The closest large body to me (Lake Michigan) is ...

https://www.politico.com/news/2024/04/26/florida-bill-posey-retirement-00154658 TALLAHASSEE, Florida — Rep.

And as usual, Ben takes what should be a 3- to 5-minute spot and drags it out 13. His delivery just drives me nuts. This may be one reason why I am resistant to watching videos. It becomes too much about the host and not enough about the actual subject. YouTube videos, unlike actual television prod...

I'm really surprised that they had the ability to update the software on a machine that was probably designed in the early to mid 1970s (it was launched in 1977). They're not Microsoft and other tech companies who scheduled EOL to be 2 days after you installed the update. They also did not annoy Vo...

I've never shopped there, but I see them all over the place. For me, that would apply to nearly every store in the country. I don't shop well, online or in person.

IMG_7657 1000.jpg We have a pair of Mallards come visit our feeders every spring for a couple of weeks. Ducks mate seasonally so that begs the question of which, if either, is the returning duck. They are fun to watch though. Excellent photo. This is the time of year I have seen ducks on top of the...

Butterdezillion. I wonder if those birthers from olden daze have reunions. I miss the olden daze. It was a real hoot when I'd read their stuff. No more Butter. No More Taitz. Very little Rharon.

I saw this the other day. He is such a lazy buffoon. We should deport him just for being stupid. Have some respect and consideration for that other country, The Rest Of The World.

I am stunned that either a) he doesn't know what NAMBLA is, or b) he does thought that was worth the cash.

To be honest, I assume the photo on the left is fake, for various reasons. That said, I would not be surprised if some idiot had at least 3 of them flying on their prop, though likely taped to a fence.
