I like my grass brown, thank you very much.
I seem to have launched a discussion a few posts ago about comparing disabilities when I said “Autistic? Screw you. I’d kill for a kid that was autistic.” Let me take that a bit further … I would rather be deaf than blind. I don’t think I will ever have a choice, and the exercise

“If you shoot at mimes, should you use a silencer?” ~Stephen Wright
I need to admit I am having a hard time. I’ll get to that. So it is legal to shoot a black kid if he’s armed with Skittles? WTF?

Quick note
Pearlsky and I are ok-ish. I have been dealing with way too much and wanted to post today, but as of an hour ago, I need to quickly leave town for a family emergency (more to support others than a crisis falling on me). I will post this week, thank you for all your concerns.

“It’s tough to stay married. My wife kisses the dog on the lips, yet she won’t drink from my glass.” ~Rodney Dangerfield
A close friend has a ten year-old son who lately has had a problem with chapped lips. She got him a couple of tubes of some medicated lip balm, the kind where you squeeze out a bit of stuff and put it on your lips. Being a ten year-old kid, he lost them. He told

“Political correctness does not legislate tolerance; it only organizes hatred.” ~Jacques Barzun
You see, I have this kid, and well, she is different. Uggh. And the thing is, I feed into this by treating her as if she is, um, crippled and retarded. Her teachers treat her that way as well, can you imagine? And all of the other children laugh and call her names, they never
