Bravopilot Who exactly approved the waiver for the limit of stupid people out in public?
it's almost to the point that it invalidates Darwin's work. 
Friggin' political ads have already started here in Northern VA, just sad, plus they are all bad
Bravopilot already started
Must take several months for things from up North to move SSE!!
Then again, I live across the border from Iowa. They started there before you-know-who became the ex.

johnnydoom Other than a slow starting Georgia team, the SEC kind of looks like garbage so far this year.
Glad to see Bama have a down year, or three. No offense to any Bama fans here.

garyt1957 I did a bit of reading about this strike today. I'm finding out some of these workers are just 'temp' status and that can go on for years. They only make '+/- $18/hr.' with no benefits. ( not sure if they are allowed to join union as temps though). They have odd shift hours as stated by 1 worker that she gets off the 'overnight' shift at 5 a.m.. Also, the 'tiered' pay is nothing short of bullshit.
I also found out all the workers have no pension plan any longer; 'taken' away back in '08(iirc).
Strikes were/are to serve a purpose.... as are unions. They, unions, came into being for better working conditions, & hours. It was not about the pay. These days, it is all about the pay as that is 99% of what is always mentioned in print or interviews.
The workers should be striking. But, about 80% of them have no clue about it all.
And they are striking against the wrong entity, the companies.
The companies did not 'take away' anything in the form of pay/benefits. It was the f'king union 'giving back'!! And when it comes to unions....they are ...entities!!
As a former UAW member/union official, I've seen the shit they blame on companies, when it is their own doings.
Yes, you may consider this post a mea culpa.
garyt1957 I do, if people don't like it, they can buy the company set their own standards, and accept all the risks. Non-risk takers are all talk

Could you even imagine if Carlin were alive today???

Carlin, Richard Pryor, Sam Kinnison. The censoring offended crowd has sucked all the fucking fun out of comedy. 
Carlin was an outright genius. One of a kind.
Family Guy is hilarious.

Spuzz When I was around 11, I used to play my Dad's records in the summer when I was stuck inside and he had a Rusty Warren album, and also the famous George Carlin album.
My comedy education started early. lol
I used to listen to that back in the early 60's when my parents were out of the house.
Spuzz Somehow I managed to live 60 years without hearing or knowing about her. I do remember us kids talking about Redd Foxx's blue material, but somehow we never ran into Rusty. In college I ran across Eddie Murphy's Comedian album, which I assume has been cancelled,

Some of my favorite posts to read start out as.......
"Got fitted for this driver and couldn’t hit it on the course. "
"Hey, dumbass.....you DID NOT get fitted for that driver. You were fitted into the driver you were hitting at the time!!" SMH
Why is that some people NEVER smile?
"Man Dies After Being Killed"
The kind of headlines you just hate to see.
I love Autumn
Hockey Season!
