It appears to be a "music" clip of someone shouting something unintelligible. The reason for this is? It seems to replay every time I click the Home button. Why is this suddenly happening?

I'm just intrigued, in a totally light-hearted way.So:What on Earth is that Sandra & Woo cartoon at the head of the page about?We see a young woman who, to use the correct, modern Claire in the Community lingo, seems to suffer from Acute Species Dysphoria; and her boyfriend, a nut-cake addict who believes he can cast magic spells with ordinary cutlery. I hope the so-called "religious right" don't get him - you know, the supposedly-grown-ups who had severe attacks of the vapours over the children's Harry Potter stories. Go on - I don't get the joke! Does it refer to an American children's game or something?:-)))PS: Claire in the Community: a BBC Radio Four situation-comedy that started as, and still is, a newspaper cartoon strip, about a team of urban social-workers and their own personal problems, sorry, "issues". Claire is the team-leader who prissily spouts all the rig... less

Flag-burning is constitutionally protected speech. The Supreme Court has made this CLEAR in a ruling joined by Mr. Trump’s favorite justice, Antonin Scalia. Grab onto your seats, America.. We're in for a bumpy ride..excon

Foreign policy. Is it in our foreign policy not to do business with non-democratic countries? We do business with Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, etc. 2. We don't demand that. We even support dictators with their coups, when they take down governments! Nicaragua, Honduras, etc.

At 3 am about a former beauty queen or whenever about whatever. Words of substance. Never-to-be forgotten words. Words of relevance. Shows us the complete 3-dimensional person. Also everything he said at news conferences. During the debates. At all the rallies. Calling in to radio shows and TV shows. Everything ever caught on tape. Part of the PET presidential library. Lotsa dynamic reading there. All the way back to when he said he was the best athlete in school. less

Do whatever you can get away with doing. Rake in the dough. Have a blast. That is true CAPITALISM at its best! Isn't it?

Have you ever changed your view after listening to someone who didn't agree with you? Because it made more sense, right?

It has been shown time and again that Republicans will reject what they created if someone they dislike on "the other side" embraces it. They have no shame. They never address the issue. They ignore how illogical they are. They only attack what they gave birth to if the person who agrees with them is on their "enemies" list. How does that make any sense at all? less
