OMB ? Office of management and budget. Every DUer must start every sentence about CFA like this. "Bless me father for I have sinned and actually eaten at CFA, but I didn't like it!!!!!!!!!! I spit it out and vowed never to let that overpriced sandwich cross my lips again!!!!" Cracks me up. But they ...

It doesn't work. Aunt Jemima found out the hard way. For years groups of activist claimed that they wanted to buy their product, but couldn't purchase a racist product. Eventually Aunt Jemima changed their product name to Peral Milling Company. Sales of their syrups and pancake mixes are now down 50...

Here are a couple of memes being circulated by our progressive friends. Biden is the only president who had a child KIA in Iraq. I don't care how many times Biden says it, Beau was not killed in Iraq, he died of brain cancer at Walter Reed. Biden is the first president in 40 years to have a child se...

A week or so ago, a state, I think Iowa, passed legislation requiring books that explicitly depicted sex acts be removed from school libraries. Every single Dem opposed the bill. I don't understand the Dem party these days. https://images.dailycaller.com/image/width=1280,height=549,fit=cover,f=auto/...

Hats off to Blue, once again. She called it, this is a big win for Biden and the Dems. Blue seems to be one of our best political prognosticators. There are no cuts. Discretionary spending is frozen at current (Fy23) +1% for two years. Debt ceiling raised by two years, $4-5T. Work requirements exten...

I went online to see if we should put our trash out. Nope, no trash pickup tomorrow. Then I noticed a new holiday, June 19th, the day slaves were freed. Total and compete Bull Crap, the Emancipation Proclamation did not free the slaves. Slaves were freed by the passage and ratification of the 13th a...

Well said, of course there was risk. I too was a software developer back then. The hysteria was unwarranted, planes weren't going to fall out of the air, municipal water supplies were not going to stop delivering water. That year my wife and I headed to my folk's house for the holidays. My mother in...

Y2K was solved long before Y2k. 30 year mortgages as an example had to be calculated well beyond the year 2000. There was never any reason to panic. Unix Millennium Bug Born out of the year 2000 Millennium Bug, we now have a new problem on our hands, and unlike last time, we don’t have a solution ye...

Republicans are insisting discretionary spending reverts to FY22 levels +1% for six years. A cut of about 4%.

At the other end of the Cuban political conspiracy spectrum were theories that attempted to tie the assassination and Oswald to anti-Castro groups who were angry at Kennedy for his decision to withhold U.S. military support for the failed Bay of Pigs invasion. (Kennedy’s lack of support for the inva...

At least one Dem (Harold Dutton) is opposing Paxton's impeachment. Looks like some sort of internal Dem pissing match.
