The Question 
 
Erm, well – I begin, shifting nervously in my chair – 
if it’s true there is no heaven and no hell,  
no eternity or long hereafter,  
no divine plan or offstage direction from an invisible hand, 
then how do we make sense of it all, 
how do we make our way through this life,
this glorious, ridiculous, ramshackle world of ours, 
with its wars and brutality, conflicts and petty arguments, 
the ten thousand tiny acts of kindness  
which happen unnoticed before breakfast, 
and all that love and pain, happiness and loneliness 
that comes to us unannounced, by turns,  
as if we ourselves were pitched daily  
onto the waves of one of its vast, mysterious oceans, 
not knowing whether today is the day we drown 
or we find ourselves washed up  
on some strange but friendly shore? 
  
Mmm – you say, after a lengthy silence – 
what I meant was … do you have any questions  
about the job? 


Brian Bilston

Seems the conservative Justices, including the Chief, decided politics was more important than Constitutional law and traditional legal procedure, making the conservative justices far more activist than they let on and completely ignoring the constitutional aspects of the case.

A very mid-century modern scene of a man sitting, relaxing, about to enjoy and Old Fashioned cocktail as his wife, sits submissively on the floor holding salad tongs after apparently making a bowl of salad on the floor while thinking of a million ways to slowly kill the sexist bastard. Caption says, "Rough Day At The Office? ...take it easy the old-fashioned way"

There is no amount of money, oil, or gold that is worth more than having bees, trees, and clean water.

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

What Radicalized You?

Panel 1
A woman sits at a desk talking to her boss who has his feet up on the desk.
Boss: As part of ongoing restructuring your position has been eliminated. We'd like to thank you for the 30 years you spent with us.
Woman: But we made record profits last quarter.

Panel 2
A man stands in front of a dumpster full of food. His boss stands behind him.
Boss: Make sure you lock up the dumpster after you throw out all this food. Wouldn't want any bums to get at it.

Panel 3
A man stands against a wall, holding his arms up in the air, looking afraid. A police officer points a gun at him.
Cop: Police! Drop the weapon, boy.
Man: What weapon?
Cop: Stop resisting!

Panel 4
Lester sits in a booth at a restaurant. He's holding a menu that says "Cluck Bucket" on it. He looks pissed.
Lester: $24.99 for chicken wings?

The cheese makers would be quite happy should that occur. Not so much the big noses, though.
