Not so Polite Dinner Conversation – a day without a woman

There has been talk about the protest action “day without women” as being somehow “elitist” because not all women can take a day off work. If a woman cannot take a day from work without putting her job or family in jeopardy, that is the point of this protest. If a mom losing a day’s … Continue reading Not so Polite Dinner Conversation – a day without a woman →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a gathering of thoughts about various recent events.

Vermin-in-Chief Ray Comfort, the fellow who tried to get atheists to take his book by giving out food gift certificates and was shamed in to giving said certificates to people who need food (still $7,000 unaccounted for), wants to tell his followers to tell the Jewish people that they are so very “angry” about the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a gathering of thoughts about various recent events. →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – three different Christians and questions answered

I’ve encountered a few very different Christians recently. We have Dave, a pastor, who believes in diversity, but also believes that Christianity supports violence as long as they benefit; Rina who says that she must take everything in the bible literally because if you don’t, what is to stop you from finding a resurrected dead … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – three different Christians and questions answered →

What the Boss Likes – a symbol for being kind

Legend, and reality appears to agree, says during the Great Depression, itinerant workers e.g. hoboes, would let each other know about the conditions of the road and towns that they passed through by using a language of signs. If there was a chance of work, dangerous dogs, vigilant police, that could all be read in … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – a symbol for being kind →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Not today

This is what happens when you don’t punch Nazis.   Rather than putting up the usual pictures of pits full of starved, shot and tortured people. I thought this was more fitting. The people who were murdered in concentration camps were being harvested. This is what those who support America First wanted to allow to … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Not today →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – wannabee theocrats marching in DC today

Today there is a “march for life” in Washington, DC. There are a lot of women there, who insist that they are feminists. There may be some men who also would claim this, since being a feminist isn’t limited by sex.

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “alternative facts” and that tie…

It is no surprise that Trump is having a tantrum over the fact that it was noted that the audience for his inauguration was quite a bit smaller than other inaugurations. He was so taken aback that the truth was told that he dishonored men and women who have died in service to this country … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “alternative facts” and that tie… →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the lying lips of a prince

We’re deep in it now. The sad little orange man has been inaugurated thanks to the ignorant and fearful and greedy who have sold their honor and responsibility for false promises.  Update:  The women's march is doing quite well. Poor Donnie, he doesn't react well to reality. What will TwitterFuhrer do? https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/21/us/womens-march.htm  ( I don't know … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the lying lips of a prince →
