The sad reality of prices these days...

 
According to the American Christmas Tree Association (yes - 
there really is one), the average price of a Christmas tree is up 10 percent this year, landing between 80 and 100 dollars. The wife and I always had 'Charlie Brown Christmas trees' not because we were cheap - we thought they were cool to decorate...
...   

That's subtle. I like subtle...

And I says to myself, I says 'What kinda jerkoff you gotta be to actually sit down and take the time and effort to type that out?' is what I says. Me thinks the person what wrote that is probably a fuckin' dooshbag, don'tcha think? Juss' sayin'...

For the first time since 2014, classic rock icons Foreigner and Styx are touring together.
From June through August next year, the groups that brought the world “I Want To Know What Love Is,” “Blue Collar Man” and so many more hits will play venues all over North America as part of their ‘Renegades and Juke Box Heroes Tour’ with special guest John Waite. Tommy Shaw is a genuine rock star. I'd go to that show.

Congresswoman Elise Stefanik is a bad-ass. Now she's hit back at Harvard President Claudine Gay's apology for her controversial congressional testimony on antisemitism. Gay told the House Committee on Education and the Workforce on Tuesday that calls for a 'genocide of Jews' on Harvard's campus would only constitute harassment 'depending on the context.' 
In an interview with the prestigious college's student newspaper, The Harvard Crimson, Gay apologized for the remarks and said she became caught up in 'policies and procedures'. 
In response to the apology Republican congresswoman Stefanik wrote on X 'No, Dr. Gay. You were given an opportunity to speak your truth. And you did.
'Not once. Not twice Not 5x. Not 10x I asked you 17x(!!!) in the hearing about whether calling for the genocide of Jews violates code of conduct.' 
There's a pretty good chance that Dr. Gay is, in fact what her name implies, but so what. She (or would they prefer a different pronoun when them are being addressed?) will most likely be unemployed fairly soon.

Normally, this Sheneman guy is a complete lib tool, but I thought 
this one was pretty good.

  2. If Dr. Gay indeed is ghey, then that would merely make her triple-insulated: Gay, POC and a woman, therefore making her untouchable and unaccountable for her actions or words.
