I just want to post this link as an ode to my buddy Michael P. Rellahan, the extremely gifted writer who unfortunately is no longer writing columns for the Daily Local News. 

But you can still enjoy any or all of them here:

 I think most of us have wondered how people could feel that it was okay to actually own people as slaves 150 or so years ago. 

I've wondered if the same mindset allows someone to support Donald Trump as President. Or in any other way.

To me, they are both indefensible and come from the same place.

The question Dems need to ask open-minded (non-Maga) potential voters:

"What upsets you more - the situation at the border or our heathcare system as it currently exists?"

The question Dems need to ask themselves:

"What upsets you more - our healthcare system or trans rights?"

Picture this

 News Item:

Detroit assistant general manager Sam Menzin resigned his post last Thursday, just before the team was planning to fire him for improper workplace conduct. Multiple women, including two Tigers employees, confirmed to The Athletic that Menzin sent them unsolicited lewd photos, some of which date back to 2017. Find out more. Nah, I'm good, thanks. Besides which, I just don't get dick pics. Literally or figuratively. And I am fine with that.

I mean, even if it has all been with m'lovely!

 We've all heard the expression, "Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it."

I'm just wondering if it's okay to ignore the best sex I've ever had.

Oh, so like maybe you have a better idea!?

 

"The only sure weapon against bad ideas is better ideas."

- A. Whitney Griswold, President, Yale University, 1954

So, my fellow Dems, it isn't enough to declare President Musk's ideas as bad.

We need to be clear about what are our better ideas.

So far, I don't see enough of that coming from us.

Yeah yeah, I know I have too much time on my hands

 Here are things I think about...but refuse to Google apparently:

-            Why are some words bad? Bad parenting probably.

-            Why do words hurt? Seems just like getting punched in a sore spot, the more tender you are, the more they hurt.

-            Why do we say things to hurt?

-            Why are there silent letters? That’s just dum.

-            Do antelopes eat cantaloupes?

-            How do trees get so tall just from dirt, water, sun and a tiny acorn?

-            Why do we stop growing? (No fair referencing my belly!)

-            What is it about music that we love so much? 

-            Why doesn’t all our hair grow like the hair on our heads?

-            Why don’t trees leave a massive indentation in the earth where they grow from, after having sucked out all the nutrients?

-            If the water cycle is a fact, how and why can we run low on water?

-            Why do we use big words when little ones will do?

-            How can the US ban the sale of semiconductor chips to China, when we bought them from Taiwan in the first place? And isn’t that ban all the more reason for China to invade Taiwan?

 -            At the equator, the Earth moves at around 1,000 miles per hour due to its spin. And they tell us that we don't feel the Earth spinning because it rotates at a constant speed, and we are moving with it. So why would I fall off the top of a moving car if I'm moving with it?

Discuss:

-            If you had a choice between never feeling emotional pain or physical pain the rest of your life, which would you choose?

-            Do males or females change more (in all ways other than physically) between the ages of 13 and 31?

-            If you add zero to any number, did you add anything to it?

                                        I'm done. I hope I didn't add nothing to your brain.
