Count me a skeptic. holy crud, it's next year already

Interesting news. Why now? If Smith et al wanted to metaphorically cram a finger in Trump's eye, why not release this Christmas eve, instead of New Year's eve? Can you quote the statutory language, with link, that grants a post-president this authority? During their tenure, presidents...

Grand Union ? I haven't figured supermarket refrigeration out. The open bin style is easy enough. Cold air is denser, sinks, puddles down there. But above the open bins are shelves with ostensibly refrigerated food. Not sure how it stays below 40F up there. Don't know if it's changed much, but...

Generac seems popular around here. I was visiting in the lower Hudson Valley. From indoors, I heard an engine start. My thought: - Who's running the lawnmower? - It seems my host's Generac was programmed to automatically start once a week, just to keep it in operating condition. note: Generac...

#2,205 reminds me: I've never thought of this Jefferson quotation as justification for Gerrymandering, or ballot nullification. Seems to me, hypothetically, an ethical Republican party would take pride in its political agenda, present it to the electorate, and allow it to sink or swim on...

a) President Bush lied. b) What Bush lied about: his and other intelligence sources tell him beyond doubt? "the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised." & c) "Time is not on our side. I will not wait on events while dangers gather. I will...

Lying, unquestionably. - piffle - The Bushies railroaded us. "Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt" was President GWB's way of insinuating that not only did the U.S. evidence leave "no doubt". But that this ostensible evidence has been corroborated by ostensibly...

My parents were writers. We share a love of the language. I understood the homonym connection: - sear: gunlock component - sear: as in cooking on a grill (welcome) - seer: one associated with clairvoyance or prophecy But I'm also lazy. I can touch-type it with one hand. ... and the decades...

Indeed. I've chosen the UPS route. I've got a multi-fuel auxiliary generator, runs on propane / LP. But my UPS are simple & reliable. APC makes versions for home use. But I have a bank of eight deep-cycle AGM batteries, each weighing about 70 lbs. Simple: This battery bank feeds a sine wave...

A principle we ought not ignore: Problem is, when Adams formulated that thought, it took weeks to transit the Atlantic ocean, as fast as the wind could propel us. In the new millennium a troglodyte in Afghanistan can topple our skyscrapers from a hemisphere away. The U.S. in Afghanistan...

Nope. You did fine. Just a little noontime levity for New Year's eve. Truth is, the chain retailer Sears of catalogue fame is not related to CitizenVoice's moderator. I adopted pseud "sear" ~Y2K when invited to moderate a current events forum at Loretta's Lounge / Ezboard. A "sear" is the...

Indeed. BUT We should be wary of distractions. Vacant buildings may seem a problem to some. Perhaps they're also a symptom? Much has been written about the range between rich and poor. Elon Musk may be the first human in the solar system to become a $Trillionaire. Generally we know wealth...

federal report reveals the dangers of backup generators: 'Every single year … there's a report of a few people dying' Tina Deines / Wed, December 31, 2025 Out of the frying pan, into the fire?

Rachel Madow suggested Putin's got something on Trump.

D'oh !
