Politics And Current Events

How many know that, constitutionally, the Presidential candidate and the Vice Presidential candidate cannot be from the same state?

How stupid is that? Just another reason to scrap this bloody US Constitution and make a new one.

My grandfather was Vice President under Herbert Hoover.

Wait. Was he? No, he wasn't. But no one would know the difference if I said that.

JRR Tolkien Super Duper Mega Thread

A few months ago, I downloaded the audiobooks of LotR . I started reading Tolkien when I was about 10. I read The Hobbit and LotR probably five times over the next 10 years. But then I stopped for whatever reason. Hadn't read them in maybe 30 years. But I've been listening to them recently. I forgot...

To me it’s clear that people who want to destroy the concept of “traditional biological sex” will pull anything out of their asses in order to manufacture the notion that biological sex doesn't exist. One of my vets has a dog that was born without an ass. More specifically, no rectum. She had to su...

The Chiefs pick was revealing. I've seen Felix A-U in person at K-State. I think he'll fit in and be a good player. I just love the name Felix, too. Problem is: he would probably have been available 10 picks back. The Chiefs should have traded back IMO. But they couldn't do that 'cause the event was...

1. The answer is always the Raiders I grew up a Raiders fan. I was an Army brat and so had no regional affiliation. My older brother loved the Cowboys, so naturally I went in the opposite direction. He went white hat so I went black hat. I was a Raiders fan up until maybe the late '80s when I lost ...

This isn't a super compelling argument coming on the heels of the NE Pats dynasty that went to like a dozen conference championship games in a 16- or 17-year span. But if it any way would make teams like, for example, the Browns even more comical, then I'm all for it. Yeah. Who amongst you Stillers...

An interesting idea. I was listening to the Kelce brothers' podcast (New Heights) on the road yesterday and Jason suggested that the NFL could benefit from a relegation system like soccer. The bottom three (or whatever) teams get relegated to a second tier (maybe a new NFL minor league or USFL or XF...

I got a call today from a nice lady who had a dog she was looking to either give up to a rescue or find some help for. The dog has an incurable disease which is manageable with the right amount of money, which she does not have. I had to tell her that we could not help because 1) it's a large dog an...

I've stood on the rooftop of a parking garage staring at a tornado and insisting to my friends that I'll be just fine, because God is having too much fun ****in' with me to kill me now.

Woof. Haven't been in this thread for a while. It's gotten quite Christian. Oy.

Sort of like American history: religion took a huge hit from the Enlightenment (thank God Jefferson had time to wedge the Constitution in there) then roared back with the multiple Great Awakenings.

Well at least I don't have to deal with fireworks for 2 hours. It's funny you say that. I missed the entire game 'cause I was dealing with a dog emergency (which, most thankfully, turned out OK).

A whole article written in questions? Yes. Is it jarring and annoying to follow? Yes. Did I close the tab relatively early? Yes.
Did you take my EXACT f**king thought? Yes.

Did I also close it out almost immediately? Yes.

Do I despise it when people write or speak like this? Yes.
