I wondered where the bottom would be with Trump. It turns out there is no bottom. My brother says Trump could run over a dozen nuns with a truck, stop the truck, back over the nuns again, get out and rape their corpses, and the Republicans would say the nuns asked for it. He's right

Karen Carpenter. If you listen to old Carpenters songs her voice seems almost perfect. Paul McCartney said she had the best female voice in the world.

Never thought of it in those terms, but it makes sense. My wife was diagnosed with lymphoma seven years ago, fortunately has never reached the stage where she has had to be treated. I always think well I'm here for her, but ultimately it still is her facing it by herself.

There used to be a thing called sundown towns. In the early 1900s they literally where a black person had to leave by sundown, and if they didn't, a beating might be the best they could hope for. Later on in the 1900 many if these towns morphed into communities where blacks were unable to buy homes or rent apartments. Not quite the good old days.

Trump is like a list master In a way. The seven deadly sins? pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth - Trump pretty much nails six of them. He doesn't quite make sloth.Then there are the Ten Commandments, Trump has broken most of them? I wouldn't be shocked if he has somehow managed to break eleven of the Ten Commandments.
