I’m reminded of a lyric in “Mrs. Robinson”: “Goin’ to the candidates’ debate – laugh about it, shout about it – when you’ve got to choose – any way you look at it you lose.”

Meteorologists are predicting a large El Nino in the Pacific this year. That always means mild winters in the Eastern two thirds of the county…Cool and rain in the west…That’s just the way the system works..And, it is measurable and can be confirmed by the temperature of the water… I trust science more than folk wisdom….

Not to say folk wisdom doesn’t get it right a lot…You know “an apple a day” really isn’t a bad idea…

John, technically you’re right. But what I’m noticing that some people use it frivolously, and even hatred…Making up lies…..questioning people’s patriotism, character, intentions even citizenship, when they should be taking care of business…….Some even think the bible should replace the constitution..Anybody that refuses to compromise in politics, is not a loyal, or even a good American…

We had an article in our local paper that said this winter might be milder after this brutal summer we had.

Wouldn’t be better to solve the GOP primary problem in same way the Scots solved the problem between Clan Kay and Clan Chattan? Give them all Claymores and let the last man standing have the Primary. Worst case we would be rid of 17 of them…..for good.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_North_Inch

“What you call hatred is called free speech by another.”
You are falling into the error of assuming all arguements and opinions are of equal validity. That is patently not the case. At risk of falling foul of godwins law, Hitlers or Stalins opinions were not as equally valid as those of Churchill or FDR even taking into account that its the winners that write history.

Aaaya ! Fall – the season where politicians change colors, desperately cling on but eventually drop, forcing us to reluctantly clean up afterwards.Too bad we can’t just rake them all into one big pile of ….and burn them. Then we’d have a real Bonfire of the Vanities.

VarnesAn apple a day may keep the doctor away, but an onion really will..Bruno ZeigertsCanada, like most democracies, has more than two parties. You are confusing it with the “party in power” and the “loyal opposition”, either or both of which may be multi-party coalitions.

Heard at the unemployment office: “So what kind of work are you looking for?”
“Republican candidate for president. Why not? Everyone else is doing it.”

WHY are there presidential debates already? It’s more than a year until the blanketty-blank-BLANK elections. No one wants to hear this BS yet! I refuse to listen until next year.
