Such a beautiful poem. Thanks for posting it.

I don'r want anyone to be unduly alarmed but, based on his performance at this morning's press conference, DHS Secretary Mark 'Wayne" Mullin would seem to be a dangerously stupid psychopath.

He's so embarrassed by that red turtleneck.

You fucking asshole. We're dropping bombs on their country, but if they strike back, it's "terrorism"?

As a resident of San Diego, I have to say, uh...wtf?

Hey remember when this guy was a leading presidential candidate and then got caught in this picture and his campaign went pffft?

Thank goodness we were spared the indignity of a philandering president! That would have been AWFUL.

Such a shock for a cold-climate refugee like myself to see these things growing like weeds in Hawaii and San Diego.

Attention HR professionals: I understand there are some openings in the FlyDubai personnel department right now.

Still definitely the best at hiding.

Seems incredible now, but there was a time when, if you bought a little box of carpet tacks, it said on the box they were sterilized. Because carpet layers used to take a mouthful of the tacks and spit them out one at a time as they hammered them in.

Muffin has more of a comment than a question.

Do you know anyone in Nebraska who worked for Union Pacific in the '70s–90s or is a ham radio or vintage computing enthusiast? I'm following leads on Teletype equipment used there.

Boosts appreciated.

When I was a letter carrier years ago, I was a "floater" who carried the routes of five other carriers when they had their days off. I asked one of my regulars about an old lady on his route, and how she managed to be living by herself in seeming poverty. "I've shoveled her walk so many times," Dominic told me.

*That's* the US Postal Service I know.
