The willow is too close to the house.
Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.
If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.
You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.
Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.
You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.
And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.
If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.
I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.
No one could have predicted…
It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.
The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.
You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.
Let’s not be the monsters we hate.
Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.
Not all heroes wear capes.

Thanks! I am.

Don’t they drive on the wrong side of the street over there? And aren’t their teeth all crooked? By the way, have you tried boiled mutton yet?

Ahh, the Southwark bridge. You’re right in the heart of it all.
Walk on down to the Jubilee bridge, and take the London Eye for a spin.
I wish I could take a vacation this year. sniff

Love the Clash reference.

The Clash FTW.
Oh, er. What he said.
DougJ
Glad you caught it. The truth is, I hate English people generally, not so much because they starved my great-great-grandparents to death as because of Chris Hitchens and Coldplay. But my love for the Clash is the closest thing to religion that I can feel.

Oy! Clampdown = From God’s lips to my ears. FTW indeed, mate.

But lately one or two has fully paid their due for working for the clampdown. Ha, getalong getalong.
Still, I like Spanish Bombs a lot more.

Much jealousy. Spent a semester studying there when I was in college. Love London.

Are things really as bad economically in the UK as reported?
Violet
I’ve love to hear your impressions on this, DougJ.
I wonder what tapes we’d take a look at now? Are there Iraq tapes? Investment bank tapes?
