Born and raised in the southwest U.S. Red Raider undergrad, then a Lobo. Transplanted to the east coast almost 20 years ago. Live and work in the DC area but don't hold it against me - I'm still a country boy at heart! Happily married to an artist and proud grampa to two boys. I'm told 1957 was a good year, but I really don't remember.

    Thanks! That’s more interesting to me than the original reason for which they included it.

    I’ve had similar thoughts and truly fear for what my grandchildren will face, in part because we’re living not only in the beginning of such a dangerous phase but also because we’re living in a time when it’s acceptable to deny the truth of what’s happening to the earth and our nation and be selfish instead of caring for each other. The way covid was managed may have been the end of public health, for example.

    The Washington Post in yesterday’s editorials pretty much blew the “whistleblower” out of the water. He was already known for his anti-liberal attitude (which, from your post, I suspect you agree with) but an analysis of his “proof” failed to substantiate his “evidence” that they are as far left or as anti-trump as the whistleblower was trying to make them out to be. Interestingly, the author of the editorial didn’t particularly disagree, he just showed that the so-called whistleblower didn’t prove his case when his “facts” were thoroughly and objectively examined. As Comer and Jordan have clearly demonstrated, just because someone claims to be a whistleblower doesn’t make it so, or that what they’re saying is even true.

    Jason, you’re missing the point that the Braille cube is NOT for a sighted person. So what if all sides are the same color – that cube isn’t for use by someone who can see that. You keep arguing about colors, but the whole point is that the blind person isn’t seeing – nor do they need to see – colors. The point of all Rubik’s cubes is to unscramble it so that each of the sides is the same. For sighted persons, that’s done with color. For the blind, color doesn’t matter, so it’s done with Braille symbols.

    Nonsense. 2 or 3 decades old means it’s essentially new to many readers, very few of whom, I would wager, research their chosen comics in Wikipedia or anywhere else. So regardless of this being a rerun or not, spoilers are still just that…spoilers.

    Typical MAGAt in panel 2, proud of his “leader’s” antisocial lawlessness while thinking that putting such a defective psudohuman back in charge is somehow a good idea.

    I used to have that philosophy, Freyja, early in my EMS career (30+ years as a paramedic, including 20 as a flight medic) but then I sort of realized that coming unglued afterwards didn’t really serve any purpose. It wasn’t a conscious decision so perhaps I just tired of coming unglued or some such.

    Anything that impacts the rest of a group IS EVERYbody’s business. Only the selfish who don’t care for others would tell someone to mind their own business, when they’re reacting to YOUR comment which impacted the rest of the group trying to avoid spoilers.

    You diss it, then quote the theme song in your next 3 posts?

    I think we’re past tedious though, and well into annoying. Take your bitter crusade elsewhere, Frank. It has nothing to do with RBION.
