Re: WTF in America

Re: WTF in America

Which issue - the exceptional and extraordinary number of children who are killed while in school? The fact that (some, but clearly not all) schools have armed response officers on campus and metal...

Re: WTF in America

No. Ted Cruz, and others like him who take NRA money and parrot their talking points, are exactly the problem. If the GOP legislators, at all levels of government, would actually for a moment or two...

Re: WTF in America

but it's OK for a mental health professional to put themselves potentially in harm's way? So long, of course, as "they are as good as they claim." Because, after all,

Re: WTF in America

I'm sure there was a version of the 1954 film on TV several years ago with the dog's name overdubbed to "Digger." Since it sounds like a person with a heavy cold pronouncing the poor mutt's acutal...

My dad had a great rule for driving in Paris, which he had picked up from a French Army driver years ago. "Priorité à droite" can usefully be translated as "aim for the traffic on your left." It...

The very fact that you don't find this weird is a whole helluva lot of WTF-ery in my book. Really? You don't think it's bizarre that it is "a thing" that a K-12 school sells bullet-proof panels on...
