      1. “No matter how much you have been provoked, always be sure to say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ whenever you shoot someone’s family dead.”

      1. Duke – you would have enjoyed the festivities! Last night Keith Richards made a surprise appearance near the end.  Keith:  Happy Birthday, Willie!  It’s great to be here.  Hell, come to think of it it’s great to be anywhere these days!  Two appearances from Kris Kristofferson that didn’t leave a dry eye in the house.  The children of the Highway Men singing together. I’m not sure how anyone tops this event – and the magic of 17,000 fans singing him happy birthday!

        There really is no equal to Willie. 

        We’ve become two Americas: those who attend Trump rallies – and those who hang out at a Willie Nelson gathering.  I’ll channel BoBo here and suggest only one of them embodies the real America. 

  1. ICYMI: White House Correspondents Dinner gave Biden the chance to be a comedian ( he was surprisingly good at it), and Roy Wood, Jr, the featured speaker, a chance to be a historian.

    The President’s remarks start at 2 hours 7 minutes into this video.Roy Wood, Jr. follows Dark Brandon’s act. /p>

     

     

  2. hmm…ok then…I suppose that I will have to up armor my riding lawn mower…mount my semi-auto AR to the front hood, a double holster for both of my semi-auto .45's….and maybe I should stop trolling my maga neighbors…making fun of a maga is one of my few joys…

    looking for a used grenade launcher, in good condition…

    1. I think you should explore and see if there are local incentives to replace your grass with a more ecofriendly yard sculpture.  Perhaps something like this

      I'm thinking the 130-kg projectiles might be a bit cumbersome, but you wouldn't need many to impress most neighbors.

      1. laugh

        Given the common understanding at the time of the nation's founding that "arms" meant "[w]eapons of offence, or armour of defence," it is beyond reasonable dispute that improvised explosive devices enjoy full Second Amendment protection. Some well-placed IEDs would nicely compliment a trench/barbed wire/poison gas home defense system.

  3. Registered Voters: (as of September 1, 2022)

    Affiliation Voters Percent

    Democrat 114,751 23.7%

      • Total.. 498,472

      Democratic share down 0.5%.  Republican share down 0.6%.  Unaffiliated share up 1.0%.

  4. Ted Cruz will say anything. But we knew that.

    Clarence Thomas is “ one of the greatest Supreme Court Justices to ever serve”? Really? 
    Only two notable opinions thart he argued, most conservative judge on the bench, rarely speaks in court, nly assents or dissents.

    Came in under a cloud of opposition as a known sexual harasser….And now the most ethically challenged SCOTUS judge in modern history.

    But Cruz thinks he’s “ one of the greatest”. 

    1. She was already the mayor. She won her council seat for another term after running unopposed. Grand Junction does not elect mayors – they elect a council and then there is a rotating appointment from the council to serve as mayor.

      Just some GJ trivia for ya.

       

  5. More important on the GJ City Council is the make-up of one conservative and six moderates-liberals. I am not saying progressive. Stout ran opposed. In the other three races, where three candidates ran as a conservative slate and all three lost. One of them was retired longtime Chamber of Commerce president, who lost to retired small businessman Scott Beilfuss, a former chairman of the Mesa County Democratic Party.

    Think about that for a minute.
