When you see those Veterans’ Day parades and a tiny number of WW2 and Korea vets marching…

Click bait that actually makes me glad I clicked???

I like the Libertarian classic novel “The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress.”

On the other hand, I can spned three hours pointing out all the ways the author had to massage reality to make his society work.

You can’t copywrite a “Hannibal” action figure.

Reminds me of an off topic story.

“Fables” was a comic book whose main idea was that the characters from all the fairy tales were living in one neighborhood in Manhattan.

The TV networks like the idea, so they stole it. Twice.

I read a collection of comics from the 1950s. There were stories about Hannibal, Julius Ceasar, Emperor Claudius, and other historical figures. The issue with Civil War stories covered topics like the Emancipation Proclamation. Today we don’t put anything in kids’ media that can’t be sold.

EC titles like ‘Valor,’ and ‘Frontline Combat.’

My personal theory is that the GOP will do a hostile takeover of the Libertarians if the ever become too unpopular.

Also, they don’t drain off support, because the Libertarians almost always vote R when it counts. You notice that Green Party Jill was active this cycle and you didn’t hear about the Libertarians once.

Seeing as how it would take at least a billion dollars to even get such a party off the ground, you can be assured that the mainstream media would treat it with respect.

I think that the only reason the Greens and the Libertarians managed to get national status was that the GOP wanted to have someone to drain off D support.

You are not blocked, because you are beneath contempt.

On the other hand, learning to deal with people you dislike is a useful skill. If everyone segregates themselves into opposing factions there will never be any progress.

Of course, I’ve personally blocked about 600 people…

Doc Savage has entered the chat.

Millionaire geniuses were a dime a dozen in the Pulp Era!

[jk, of course you’re right]

Alexas Texas has entered the chat…

Alexis Texas.

Way more daring than Hannah ever was…

Could be.

Off topic but fun.

The book ‘The Carpetbaggers’ became a movie; there was a Western actor mentioned in the story, Nevada Smith. Does anyone else know a daring character named after a state with a five letter last name?

When Stan Lee created Tony back in the 1960’s he probably took his inspiration from Howard Hughes.

Hughes had been the inspiration for a famous novel of the time, “The Carpetbaggers.”

HH was played by Leo DiCaprio in ‘The Aviator.’

I can’t remember the author or title, but that was the idea for a story I once read.

God sends an angel and the monkeys to do the job. They get close, but when the angel is doing the final read through he sees "…to be, or not to beee, Damn the ‘E’ key is sticking. " And they have to start over

What’s a bit more likely is that, in the future, the “Department Of Truth” will have access to all digital information and will have no trouble at all re-writing history at will.

In the future, kids will watch The Flintstones and laugh at the antennae TVs and landlines in Bedrock and think that the antiquated tech is the joke.

The stupidest thing about Trump is that he could have extorted billions of dollars out of the Saudis on Inauguration Day. Even Team Rocket could have figured that out.

Go out and volunteer to help someone else.

Seeing another person’s problems is a sure way to make your own problems seem smaller.

“Lioness” with Zoe Saldana and Nicole Kidman is a weird combination of spec ops porn and Left politics.

“Lioness” refers to a CIA program to target the wives/sisters/daughters of major terrorists. Kidman runs Saldana who in turn runs the teams on the ground. Their latest target is top financier of terror and his daughter is getting married soon…

In one episode Kidman tells Saldana that the West’s leaders are too stupid and cowardly to get us off the oil habit.
