Two things: One Lord, One Faith, Copping one Feel. Good grief! And second, I am sure that Meghan McCain is in genuine grief losing a beloved father. My deepest sympathies. Why,then, make it a grotesque anti-Trump rally, when she sits every day with a harridan who got up and left the room when McCain appeared on The View because McCain wanted to put her "back in slavery"?

I know, Jim. I was really having fun on Friday -- there were several fun threads that had a lot of back and forth going. Suddenly, I came back from an early dinner out and POOF, everything was gone. Really unfortunate, but I guess part of the price for escaping from FB. AG

Re: Politicize a Funeral? Last Time, It Didn’t Turn Out Well

Ammo G. Copa — Sun, 02 Sep 2018 12:12:57 -0000

The Wellstone Funeral was a shock to the body politic. Nothing like that had ever happened before. It reverberated far beyond Minnesota. That fall, we traveled through Texas on our way to wintering in California. MANY random people we chatted up in restaurants mentioned it. Booing a Republican friend and Senatorial guest from Alabama had never been seen before. A screamed eulogy had never been seen before. Now that level of open hatred is common and unremarkable.

I have two, actually, my friend. The P229 Black Elite in 9 mm, and a .45. I am very very accurate with the 9mm in particular. It's such a great gun, it is almost impossible to miss. AG

Ah, much as I love them, the Israelis have to be contenders for this honor. Our son is quite an aggressive driver; when we were being driven by Mr. AG's cousin (vet of 3 wars) from the airport to our hotel, our son sat in the backseat in wide-eyed terror. At one point, he said to me, "Mom, he's making his own lane." And indeed, he was! AG

Crux: Thank you for your kind words. That's so funny and interesting -- I have never thought about it before; it all just seems intuitive, rather than trained. You're right about Minnesota for sure. But here, "the" 10 and "the" 17 and "the" 202, etc. is most common. Huh! Go know...AG

True dat, Deb. And always a "brutal" murder. Never a nice, gentle murder...although the PT did tell me this morning about a woman who killed her husband by poisoning him with eyedrops. Apparently, she had previously "accidentally" hit him with a crossbow while he was sleeping. And he didn't leave her? AG

Tracy, truly Mama was one of the funniest people I have ever met. I was so lucky to have had both of my parents. Leftists are taught that everything is terrible and that every minor "offense" merits outrage, not mild annoyance. Rage and outrage are difficult to maintain if you can laugh at the catalyst, and the engine of leftist ideology is rage. AG (Also I think there is a connection between intelligence and humor -- and leftists are often mind-numbingly stupid.)

Deb: Hurts a "little"? The first time I went to PT for my rotator cuff, the therapist said, "Now we're going to stretch our right arm across our chest and hold it with our left arm..." I have an unusually high pain threshhold, but I did it once and nearly collapsed on the floor. I said, "WE are not going to do that again any time soon. You go right ahead, though." AG

Re: 65 woman say Kavanaugh was a gentleman in high school

Not one word of this rings true. According to leaks, at a drunken party, he put his hand over her mouth, turned up the music and mauled her, but she was able to get away. She relives the scene and has needed therapy for 35 years because of it. My best guess? 250 lbs now, lonely cat woman, never had a single date in high school and finally gets a chance to get some attention and punish a guy she wished would have asked her out. We shall see. 99% of all the #MeToo crap is not even close to credible and NOTHING if it did happen. Grow up. And I say that as a woman with absolute moral authority. Ammo Grrrll
