is a concern for parents now too. Looking back at some pukes from my past, yes some were freaky sorts.

3. Hitchcock presented this issue in 1961, and it has only gotten worse.

Bang! You’re Dead.

Spoiler:
When his Uncle Rick (Dunne) arrives home from Africa, six-year-old Jackie (Mumy) finds a gun and a box of bullets in his luggage. Jackie presumes it a toy gun, as his uncle had promised to bring him a present. Loading a couple of bullets into the weapon, Jackie leaves his house and heads to the local supermarket with the gun. When Rick discovers his gun is missing, as are its bullets, he informs Jackie's parents and the trio race off to find the boy before the unthinkable occurs.

6. Never stuff a loaded gun in your belt. You might go off half-cocked.

Joke from “Fun with Dick and Jane” the original, (1977) with
Jane Fonda as Jane
George Segal as Dick
Ed McMahon as Charlie (the “heavy”)

I hate idiot remakes.

9. There's an old Mexican song that I'll translate for you.

Do like Doña Lola
Rather dance alone
that with Don Pompous

Who always carries a gun
And also a machete
and looks for fights.

Come together cheek to cheek
and if he's packing heat
arch your back away

Because with all the jostling
you're going to feel awfully bad
when the gun goes off.

5. An amazing and horrifying compilation. This is the 60th posting - each replete with names and activities.

This is the 60th installment in the list of Republican sexual predators, abusers, and enablers who contribute to rape culture. These are people who abused their power or defended the abuse of power. These are not folks caught in consensual scandals such as being gay, having an affair, being polyamorous, inviting multiple sex partners into their marriage, or soliciting adult sex workers, unless they are trafficked against their will. This is a list of predators or those who enable them, not a list of hypocrites.

Starting with “white privilege”, their newfangled “Southern Strategy” way back when.
