Maybe the single funniest Joe Biden headline of all times...

The Occasion? Biden, along with Doctor Jill, made an unannounced appearance at Trinity College Dublin to watch their son, Hunter Biden, receive the Gold Medal for Outstanding Contribution to Public Discourse from the university's student debating society, the Hist. 

While he was there, Pro-Palestinian protesters gathered outside the venue to protest U.S. policy and support for Israel during the war in Gaza, chanting slogans like "Genocide Joe" and "Blood on your hands". As the Bidens left the event, demonstrators hurled cartons of milk and other objects toward the entourage. 

Secret Service agents and security personnel used umbrellas to shield the former president as he was escorted into a vehicle. Irish police (An Garda Síochána) intervened, scuffling with demonstrators and making multiple arrests.

How many of us out there will admit to having grown up riding in the back of one of these bad boys? My memory is a little dim, but I think my Dad had an old Ford Fairlane wagon that he'd bought off my Uncle Jimmy (who was not my actual 'uncle', of course - we had a lot of them). 

I think it was dark green. I'll check and see if I have any family pics of that car, but I doubt it. I do remember that riding in the back with my brother TJ made one trip to Canada - as a family, of course -  towing a camper almost palatable, if ya get my drift...

Ya see? This is a perfect example of why people who live in big cities should not be allowed to vote. Having grown up in New Jersey, I can tell ya from personal experience that big city voters will vote leftie 115% of the time, because that's where all the free shit is - in the Big Cities - somewhere just around the corner from MLK Boulevard, if ya get my drift. Who'da ever thunk - in this day and age - that a socialist-leaning woman would end up being Governor there?

Five people who worked at the chipmaker told The New York Times that Jensen Huang, 63, also had an extramarital affair with Kimberly Powell, 48, Nvidia's vice president of healthcare. The Nvidia board is now preparing to oust Huang as CEO, people familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal.

It's funny. I like to think that I'm a little 'geekish' - a little internet savvy, right? When I saw this cartoon, it was like somebody whacked me in the back of my head. I hadn't thought of AOL in maybe ten years or more, so you can imagine my shock and surprise when I googled it and found out it still exists! 

Fuck, back in the day, they were the do-all and end-all of everything 'internet'. How did they fuck up so badly that they got thrown to the side of the road the way they did? I honest to god didn't know they still existed. Go figure...

Meet me at Maho...

 

When we lived (and worked, of course) on St. John, Maho bay Sundays were a must. Maho Bay is a sheltered, shallow beach located on the north shore of St. John in the Virgin Islands National Park. We could just park on the side of the road, grab our shit and set up for the day on the beach. The water in the Bay  was always calm, crystal clear and turquoise. The setting was ideal - wide sandy shores, and shade from trees and sea grapes.

If we were motivated, we could snorkel  with sea turtles and other marine life. swimming, and paddleboarding.

Getting there was easy. It is about a 20-minute drive from the Cruz Bay Ferry Dock via North Shore Road. It's built up quite a bit since we were there, with a paid parking lot and a friggin' gift shop, but when we were there, it was paradise...

...  

They're still holding that price, but today may be 

last day of the sale. Grab a couple. I did.

God, I wish I could draw like this...

We haven't been out drinking with the booby girls in a while, so...

You're welcome. Always nice to visit 

'the girls' if ya know what I mean...

Your Red State not so Red anymore? The Free State of Florida may be your only hope...

Thinking about moving to Florida? Here's a little guide to help you figure out which part of the Sunshine State might be right for you. Just remember, Florida is a whole lot bigger than Miami and Orlando! From the sugar-white beaches of the Panhandle to the natural springs of North Central Florida, the excitement of Tampa Bay, the historic charm of St. Augustine, and the tropical paradise of the Florida Keys, every region has its own personality and lifestyle.

Whether you love big-city energy, quiet small towns, beautiful beaches, outdoor adventures, or year-round sunshine, Florida has a place that might feel like home. 

I chose to buy and live in The Villlages for a number of reasons, not the least of which was affordability, which seems to be a very popular topic lately. 

I won't tell you what my monthly nut is beyond saying that with a mortgage and insurance and the typical shit you need to survive, it's well under 3 G's a month - well under. We could  honestly live out our days here just on our SSI, so - Choose wisely!

...  

Those two items popped up side by side when I went looking for the listing I wanted to see. Obviously the one on the left (the one I have outside my lanai) is the better deal. See for yourself by clicking on the lower-priced one. They have bigger sizes also. Take a look. I like the one I have...

Sorry about the size of this ad, but hadda make a point.

Turn the heat down? You'll go to jail, maybe...

Missouri's Cold Weather Rule is in effect from November 1 through March 31 each year, offering protections against heat-related utility shutoffs.

Investor-owned utilities regulated by the Missouri Public Service Commission cannot disconnect residential heat-related electric or natural gas service on any day the National Weather Service forecasts temperatures to fall below 32 degrees Fahrenheit between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. Municipal utilities, rural electric cooperatives, and truck-delivered propane are exempt (so they can shut people off?).

 A cold weather shutoff freeze is not a free pass or a forgiveness of charges. Customers remain responsible for the balance, and debt will continue to accumulate if payments are missed. If you cannot pay your bill in full, you should contact your utility company immediately to set up a cold weather payment plan or ask about low-income assistance programs. Customers who are disabled or 65 and older can register with their utility for specialized payment terms and additional safeguards.

So I beg to ask - are there seriously fucked-up people up there that would actually turn somebody's heat off in the winter - even if they can't make timely payments? That's some serious Ebenezer Scrooge shit if it's true.

This sale ends at Midnight tonight. Grab one while you can...

Other sizes and models are also available in the DREO store
