[Our favorite cartoonist RL 'Bob' Crabb and I share thoughts on the US benefitting from a multi-party (four or more) political smorgasbord.  Bob offered this good rendition, filched from the 2feb19 Union, of Howard Schultz's presidential ambitions.  There should be a lot more to say about that.  gjr]

    I do alot of advising but I am old and don’t want to do that. You, however, need to get your Green-Libs a seat, at least one seat, in any legislature in America. What the hell is wrong with you that you are such a failure?

    On a different topic “Make Believe” is sold out at the Nevada Theatre for today’s final performance. Thanks George, Joanne and the Union for the boost. The great turnout of our local community to support this wonderful original production by our very own Dalrymple MacAlpin is a great example of our communities support for the arts and local talent especially.

    Green Libs are not a political party Todd but a philosophy.

    No Paul Emery you are incorrect. If you want your “philosophy” to be more than just some BS you must gear up and make it happen You just use that as a excuse for inaction. I was a man of action for forty years and got a lot done while you were sitting on your hands yapping into a microphone. How many roads did you pave or create? How much did you save the taxpayers with your green-lib philosophy? Nothing of course. That is all lefty bluster and nothing more.

    Anybody come out for a balanced budget yet…of the declared candidates? Sure, it’s early and silly season has not kicked in yet, but Harris has yet to talk about it. Nor Bernie or Warren or Booker. Just asking for a friend.
    Speaking of coming out, we have been outed! Sure, I have always been partial to Milo, even though he is not a true conservative, but I would rather out myself,thank you very much.

    ,,,Get real George you are just name calling by referring to anyone who isn’t a conservative collectivist a ”’Commie”’ No American or American collective has killed ‘hundreds of millions’. That is your fear talking,,,
    Individualism and collectivism are both part of our social order.

    An old man. Alone. Watching television re runs in the middle of the day. The Duke. Paints an undeniably pathetic picture. Sad. So, so sad. Maybe a comfort fish is what he needs, while dreaming of a powerful person calling for advice, maybe even the proffer of an important position in an unimportant job. But alas, the phone never rings.

    You know, I kind of buy that. There’s always been a successful form of children’s author that produced books for kids who hate their lives, a kind of porn for children at the bottom of the social heap. The common theme appears to be that (a) their parents disappear and (b) they acquire some kind of superpower. Bullies are now on the run.
    I can’t help but wonder if that doesn’t explain the philosophy of the Blue Mob.

    One thing liberals seem to do, and this is all of them. Project their miserable lives on others. Just like the democrats projected their racist past, their KKK and Jim Crow on others, they all do it. I really think they are mentally ill. We see that all over the country, they are all the same, loons. But they are fun to mock and boy do they get mad. Mostly though they are chickens and won’t post their true names like we do. They know they are in need of mental help and why let the public know who they are. Too funny. What a hoot!

    Are Christian values a political party-Yes or no? Apparently you don’t know the difference between a philosophy and a political movement. Sad but true.
    I think Todd was exposed to too much Mercury as a youth in Nevada County. Other than that he may just be stupid.
    Anybody who over and over compares his studlieness with Trump is a weird dude indeed. Here’s the latest for late RR readers.
    ” I relate well to Trump as I have been the target of so many women over the years I have come to understand the issue very well. When you have good looks as I do, money and fame it attracts the gals and they will do a Lewinsky for the fun of it. I feel bad for short and ugly unsuccessful men who only dream what I live. So Trump, like me is a true stud.”

    The mayor ran on the promise to eliminate homelessness in 10 years. Very ambitious. Wonder how he is fairing?
    More than 55,000 people now live on the streets in Los Angeles, up a shocking 75% since Garcetti took office in 2013. Another 55,000 homeless people live in communities surrounding Los Angeles, like Pasadena, Long Beach, and Glendale.

    I think that I get the general flow of cash in Blue Mob America. You collect a whole lot of it from anyone without enough political oomph, ship it to people who’ve got it (nonprofits, bureaucracies), don’t dare be mean to the homeless who might not deserve cash, don’t help those who do.

The scope of Democratic craziness is so bewildering, the ambition of the left to overturn the political, economic, and cultural basis of our society so staggering, that the right needs all the help it can get.

    Aha! Brings me back to grade school when we had to learn a big word every day, A-Z. When it came to X, the word was xenophobia. Originally, the word meant fear of the unknown, fear of the foreign. Over time, the word evolved to be fear of foreign(er). Fear of the unknown. Like burning on burn days?
    Fear is the big one.
    Fear: False evidence appearing real.
    Fear: False emotions appearing real.
    Fear: F**k everything and run.

    There was Roger Brown, but he reported to camp too big and got cut one year…..and went off into the twilight, if memory serves me correctly. And Dick Bass was the 3 yards and a cloud of dust guy. That’s all I remember. Merlin, Marlen, potatoe, potato…I am going by memory, too lazy to look it up. :).
    Now to jog your memory. Who was the soccer style kicker for UCLA when Gary Beban was playing? Think it started with a Z. Boy, did he blow it against Oregon St on a 2 yard field goal as time ran out…..ended in a tie and a near riot. College was much more exciting that the pros.
