In Yiddish, “shoen vergessen” means “I’ve forgotten,” so there are great Yiddish jokes about Sean Ferguson. Often, Sean Ferguson is the name of the guy the Yiddish speaker forgot.

No one is stopping you from commenting. Lots of people are just commenting about how wrong you are. You’re pretending to not know the difference which reveals a lot about you.

Seems like you have a knack for showing everyone on blue sky that you don’t know what’s going on.

Kevin, as a dipshit, I’m hurt that you would use that as an insult. In defense of dipshits everywhere, we’re very normal happy people.

We could’ve had this in March. Schumer could’ve extracted real concessions rather than giving Trump everything he wanted while rubber stamping fascism. But he gave it all away for nothing.

Frankly I think it's good that Senate Democrats for once refused to play ball with nihilist fascists who want the country to burn. I'd much rather see them go on offense and make an affirmative case for their partial role in the shutdown than hide and hope voters blame the other side.

SQ Quadraphonic ("Stereo Quadraphonic") is a matrix 4-channel quadraphonic sound system for vinyl LP records. The SQ Encoder can record to this format. The SQ Decoder is for correctly playing it, I think.
(I have never used either one. Not sure how it works.)

That SQ Encoder is as rare as hen’s teeth.

Targeted attack on a dockside restaurant in North Carolina. Three dead. Suspect a former Marine sniper in Iraq and Haiti who tried to sue the US govt for “genocide against straight men by the LGBQT community.”

UT is a disgrace. Did UT fire its rightwing law professor, Glenn Reynolds, when he advised running over protesters with cars? No? Because UT is a disgrace.

This is a very peculiar situation where a cheap beer joint opened up right next to this Islamic Center that’s been there for over 25 years (maybe much longer) and the patrons of the bar are low class. The guy that made the threat is a drunk asshole, which is no excuse, but there was no bomb.

In 2021, James Comey said Donald Trump should not be prosecuted after leaving office. He said the next attorney general must ‘foster trust.’

It’s sad that a tyrant was given the federal executive power to abuse in the U.S. There are a lot of people who are responsible for letting it happen. There are too many of them to list. I wouldn’t know where to begin.

This is the biggest scam. They’re asset-rich, labor-exploiting, capitalist farmers who knew Trump would cut regulations and taxes and then bail them out when the economics turned down on them.
