Let’s talk about comments and site content

by

A few have complained about the political memes, news essays, and even contributor content. Here’s the bottom line on all that – YOU TOO CAN CONTRIBUTE. And I’m not referring to the parroting of partisan talking points on comments, either. If you have a counter-point to anything posted here, by all means spell it out WITH CITATIONS.

Some have told me you aren’t happy with Heather Cox Richardson’s recap of the news. That’s fine, give me one to post that shows “The other side” of that “rhetoric” if you will. And considering it takes THREE STEPS to get to her essays, that are posted in the overnight hours on a separate platform, any “forced” exposure to her writings is on you. I publish her news recaps and essays because she is an eloquent writer and speaker, telling the news in a way that we can all understand while leaving it completely up to us as to how we feel ABOUT the news, rather than being told the news AND how you should feel about it.

And for those who comment or email me with insulting F-bombs (telling me to satisfy myself in a productive manner) will get you blocked from the site – and endanger your access to ANY domain powered by WordPress.

So, for all my loyal readers and newcomers – email me with content you want to see, whether it be memes, limericks, or even counter-points to the news: [email protected]

as for the rest? well, Fuck you too.

Sincerely, Me

On his 75th birthday, a man got a gift certificate from his wife.

The certificate paid for a visit to a medicine man living on a nearby reservation who was rumored to have a wonderful cure for erectile dysfunction

After being persuaded, he drove to the reservation, handed his ticket to the medicine man, and wondered what he was in for.

The old man handed a potion to him, and with a grip on his shoulder, warned, ‘This is a powerful medicine. You take only a teaspoonful, and then say ‘1-2-3.’ When you do, you will become more manly than you have ever been in your life, and you can perform as long as you want.”

The man was encouraged. As he walked away, he turned and asked, “How do I stop the medicine from working?”

“Your partner must say ‘1-2-3-4,’” he responded, “but when she does, the medicine will not work again until the next full moon.”

He was very eager to see if it worked so he went home, showered, shaved, took a spoonful of the medicine, and then invited his wife to join him in the bedroom.

When she came in, he took off his clothes and said, “1-2-3!” Immediately, he was the manliest of men.

His wife was excited and began throwing off her clothes, and then she asked, “What was the 1-2-3 for?”

And that, boys and girls, is why we should never end our sentences with a preposition, because we could end up with a dangling participle.
