He was the service station owner in The Jerk - when that sniper opened fire trying to kill Steve Martin and punctured the oil cans instead - Steve thought the oil cans were defective, Jackie Mason said "no, it's a defective person".

So it is with all gun crime. Thanks, Jackie.

"Those who have fought those battles and won are the ones I’ll listen to."

Clean and sober 29 years.

Not a fan of legalized marijuana, psychedelics much less so.

How much press would this headline get:

"Atlanta restaurant announces plan to serve only customers with negative AIDS test."

"Are you a physician? Do you know anything about these drugs? I am, and I do."

Good for you.

But one doesn't have to play professional baseball to have an informed opinion on baseball, and that translates to any profession.

Like saying only military veterans have a valid opinion on foreign affairs.

"...this Larry Elder guy, even though I’ve never heard of him."

Hmmm. Might want to read some of his articles/interviews - would be worth your time.

Rolling Stones jazz?

Well, maybe "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'"

But not much else.

We've known for a while to be very careful in what we say and who we say it to. Including sites like FR.

This should be a wake-up call to those who poo-pooed that idea.

"‘It’s Time to Start Blaming the Unvaccinated’: Gov. Ivey..."

Maybe we should just start blaming "the Jews" - worked before....

"A devout Catholic, she led the group in prayer..."

Oh, man - that's rich.

I think you're right, though - Repubs should rebrand all of this as the Ashli Babbit hearings.

"I spent much of my life on a flightline around jet engines."

HA! Thinking the same - I used to test-run jet engines (production engine-test facility), and my ears are shot, too.

I think with me (I'm 63) I'm more just wedded to the nostalgia of putting a record on my turntable.

Although sometimes I swear I can tell the difference between, say a Brian Eno or King Crimson CD and some of my old vinyl records of the same.

Damn - 16 more months before we can get rid of her.

He was great as Don Adams’ side-kick in a few Get Smart episodes. Seemed to be good chemistry between them.

Evan Hafer is a poofter sniffter.

"It’s not your imagination. LPs sound better."

Oh, man - I love vinyl. Besides, my ears are analog....

Man, that is one expensive rescue.

"...China has, in their arrogance, misjudged Japan."

That's the way I read it, too.

Doood! You’re in straw-man attack mode - having a low self-esteem day are ya’?

"The best agents are the ones who don’t look like agents."

But they probably don't promote themselves on TwitterGram either.

" The Rittenhouse episode may have cost the company thousands of customers, but, Hafer believed, it also allowed Black Rifle to draw a line in the sand. “It’s such a repugnant group of people,” Hafer said. “It’s like the worst of American society, and I got to flush the toilet of some of those people..."

Hmm, Rittenhouse was trying to plug the gap against BLM/Antifa where the cops should have been.

Repugnant?
Heck, there are a dozen or more entities that help our vets, why would I go through someone who finds me repugnant?

"...FBI Special Agent Richard Trask, 39, of Kalamazoo [pictured left on Instagram]…"

Looks like they're hiring thugs - we expect them to look like Mulder and Scully, now it's more like Mudder and Scuzzy.
