Ooops !!). Pundits, asked a question by presenters on TV or radio, seem apparently compelled to start off most of their answers with the word "So". Well, you may ask, "So, what?"So, its annoying, that's why! So, those afflicted in that manner ought to get treatment. So, does anyone else have this problem - either those who are: afflicted with it, or afflicted by it? So, here's a relevant extract by way of illustration:- - - - Start of extract: - - - - "It’s so annoyingSo why do people feel compelled to start every sentence with ‘so’?" by Mark Mason, The Spectator, 5 November 2011." We live in the Age of So. Dot Wordsworth commented on it in these pages recently, though was lost for an explanation. The phenomenon was illustrated on ... less

It is starting to look like we will be having a bumper crop of cannabis this year (probably because of the heat wave). The last time we had a bumper crop the extra weight of all the sticky buds caused the Island to start sinking so we had no other choice but to give it away before we went under. To avoid the long line ups on the West coast I suggest you approach the Island from the the North end then bring your barge down the Strait of Georgia and pull into the Parksville Bay then tell one of the local yokals that Nanoose sent you and they will hook you up. Cheers! less

The Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland is a NATIVE AMERICAN who says the feds will "launch an investigation."What do they need to know they don't already know? What a waste of time and money.Investigate your guts out. There is NO spiritual or emotional healing available. Not at any price. And yet here we go. Wasting money and time to conclude what we already know.

How does one ever decide which to use and when? Do murderers try very hard to be fair and balance it out? Or are the partisanshi preduced about the weapon they prefer to use when they murder.Can those who have never murdered adore and love murderers who enjoy the act of murdering? One wonders about such things.How do you know someone who has committed murder won't murder YOU? You don't. less

Internship.A prez has life and death in his/her hands. 35 and native born. That's it. Many more lives are in the hands of a president than are in the hands of a surgeon.Do you see what's wrong with that picture?Lack of foresight. No substantive standards. No matter how lamebrained evil and deadly it stands. 35 and native born.So you have to be breathing and 35 and born in amurrica. That's it? You could be insane and that would not exclude you. You could be a rapist. So what? Who cares? You could be a racist a treasonous traitor? There are no specific exclusions you see and even if there were liars pretend to comply and solemnly take oaths they have NO INTENTION of keeping.LIARS take oaths to support and defend the Constitution and then when in power such vipers wipe their a**es with the Constitution.

Be that and you too can be president!You can see the result of the STUPIDITY of the Founding Fathers.What we get is a failed human being with warts and ruts and dings and scratches who is nothing more than a used up old crackpot whose "sex appeal" draws millions to him inexplicably who are willing to KILL for him under the guise of patriotism. All nutjob crackpots to be sure. But lethal just the same.The fault lies not in the nutjob crackpots who adore him or in him actually. They cannot help being what they are. They and He were born that way. They and He had nothing to do with it. A failure by any measure and yet GUANO got elected and the nutjob crackpot has convinced his adoring equally notjob crackpot worshippings that he got stiffed gypped screwed. less
