We're in Tillamook Oregon today & because the weather was...

so nice & we love the coast, we decided to burn a steak & potato for dinner.

While I was getting the bbq ready for the steak I asked the smarter half to pick a good wine for dinner.

She picked a "Chateau Ste Michelle Indian Wells" merlot. It was to die for with a bbq steak & roast potato.

Looking at the bottle afterward I noticed it said "established 1967". That was the year before we got married.
Great couple of years!

I wish all of my DU friends can have many good nights like we had tonight.

OK Tuberville, you say "I didn't create the problem"?...

You blamed the military & the whitehouse for creating the problem.

They are blaming YOU!

If you aren't the problem, prove it!

Withdraw your hold. We'll find out if you (or your right wing magat assholes) are the problem or not.

I double dog dare you! coward.

I just noticed that on DU4 on both my phone & tablet...

Which are Android devices, DU4 doesn't allow me to expand the page I'm looking at.
On the older format I could (using my fingers) expand the page so I could read cartoons and court filings so they were readable. Will this change in the future? Or will I have to adjust?

Damned if you do, damned if you don't...

This afternoon we were sitting quietly at the table in our RV because it was raining outside when I had a sudden incredibly loud sneezing attack.

My wife, who had been reading one of her novels on her Kindle, about jumped out of her chair & out of her skin.
She then asked "why don't you warn me before you do that? If you scare me that bad again I'll, kill you!"

I replied "I couldn't catch my breath to warn you, sorry".

Well try harder, she answered.
.
.
.
So I went online and found a air horn with a 120 decibel honk, showed her what I ordered, and she threatened to kill me again.

I'll try to figure this out, any help would be appreciated.

I was sitting outside the RV watching the stars in the mountains of Washington

when Sasquatch walked into my campsite, walked over to my cooler & grabbed a beer.

He popped the tab, took a swallow, looked at me, chuckled & said "You know nobody's going to believe you!"

So, there were benefits to slaves caused from being slaves to white men...

C'mon Desatin, your schools can teach much more than that.

For example:

The benefits to women caused by the take-over of Afghanistan by the Taliban?

The benefits of the American Indians caused by the invasion of your "superior white people" in N. America?

The benefits of the Japanese population by learning of the incredible power caused by nuclear weapons?

The benefits of the Muslims caused from the crusades by the christians?

The benefits of the Jewish people caused by the Holocaust by the nazis?

The benefits of the widows and fatherless children caused by our civil war?

The benefits of the Cuban population caused by the rise of Castro?

The benefits of ocean fish being already cooked caused by global warming?


I'm sure there are many more "benefits" we can add to this list, that desatin would be more than happy to mandate to the unfortunate students that have to learn in your f'd up state of Florida.

Please feel free to add to their curriculum by adding your "benefits" below.

Over 40 years ago Al Gore warned us about climate change...

Almost all of the politicians ignored him.

See where we are today. Is there any way to get the idiot politicians to pay attention?

HOW ABOUT WE TRY THIS!

Turn off the air conditioning and heat in the halls of congress and senate. Disconnect the air conditioning and heat from the homes of the senators and representatives UNTIL they get off their lazy fat money enriched asses, and do SOMETHING about what is causing climate change.

Make it mandatory they attend every session that they are scheduled for, regardless of temperature.

Let Ted Cruz explain to his wife and daughters why there is no heat in their home in the winter, or cooling in the summer.

If we could pass this type of legislation, there is a very good chance we could get something done about climate change.

Until the stupidest of the stupid lawmakers feel the impact, they don't care if you or I or anyone else not related to them feels the impact of climate change.

It's long past time they feel what we are feeling!

About Enter stage left

I'm ashamed to say I've been lurking here since around 2004. I've finally had enough. There is nothing more important than taking back our country NOW. Whatever it takes to humilate tRump & the rePugs this Nov should be front & center, & continue for the next 2-3 generations. I was born in 1945 to a special ed teacher & a Navy aviator. They supported Gen Eisenhower & looking back, I truly believe he was the last Republican of honor in their party. RESIST. NEVER GIVE UP!
