It's all in the fascist playbook but to witness it happening in America is some dystopian shit.

If defunding Alzheimer's research and cancer research doesn't piss people off I'm not sure that anything will.

It's both astonishing and completely predictable that Lynch doesn't know this thing that most people learned in junior high biology.

When modern Republican politicians brag about the anti-slavery roots of the party, does that just confuse the majority of modern Republicans?

Teacher, when you say that slavery was the cause of the Civil War, it hurts my feelings.

Have to wonder how many NBA general managers are kicking themselves for not selecting Trayce Jackson-Davis.

I assume that well educated people who plan to vote for Trump know that racist assholes overwhelmingly support Trump. So, do they not realize that they are voting to empower racist assholes, or do they not care?

A friend and former colleague, and really big Alabama football fan recently passed away, so I find myself rooting for Alabama - not an easy thing to do... Anyway, I'm sure most who are watching the game realize there is a very good chance the two teams will see each other again.

Around 9 years ago. Mabel was about 1 year old in this picture, & Stella a bit older had recently joined the family. The old guy on the floor was Sam, a very good boy who I still miss every day. These beautiful souls are a daily reminder of why someone who doesn't like dogs should never be trusted.

Contemplating mortality... Know several people fighting cancer. One who passed last year. Went to a visitation for a former colleague tonight. She was kind of a force of nature. Only 69, but kidney disease led to transplant a few years ago. Just seems weird she's gone.

We operate on a 3 term system, or a quarter system if you count summer. Anyway, this is the weekend when I get to finish up all fall term grading and make sure all courses are ready to go Monday morning. Serenity Now!

People who grew up in my neighborhood were sometimes referred to as river rats, so I suppose the vermin label could apply...?
