I once met up with the next most liberal person relative to me and the next most conservative. True story. We had beers.

That's the way things should be.

Agreed. Personally, I would draw the line at ever enabling a Trump supporter by participating with them in any social activity, but other than that I believe reasonable political disagreements are foundational to a functioning society.

Back in the plush times when I could afford to buy steak, a favorite middle-of-the-night snack was to stand before the open fridge door and dip cold bite-sized pieces of steak into the sour cream container.

Yes, I was beaucoup classy even then.

Mrs. George does that, but with Ranch dressing.

Ok. I can get behind that. But I’m pretty fond of the nude German chasing the boars today.

Chopped liver still has value. Dead meat, not so much. The Clinton era is over.

LOLOL That's a bright yoot.

At last, my dream comes true -- a photo of me chasing after a pig in my altogether going viral on the Internet!

Stop spending.

Stop spending.

So much to cancel and such little time. The anxiety must be overwhelming. You would think they would be come agoraphobic. Oh wait you can’t say that.

It's like if I say to you, "Give me all your money." And you say no, and I say, "Give me all your money, cracker," and you say, "Why should I give you my money?" And I say, "Because you have money and I don't, and that's all that counts. Why you keep asking stupid questions?"

For gawd sake's, hush up...You start telling the Truth and ain't no tellin' what might happen!

Montepulciano is, I think, the most versatile food wine ever. Only Zinfandel comes close. But I love Italian wines, and even French cuisine started in Italy.

I like her. I don't approve of all she has done, but she has a backbone.

*All I can say is that Ms Acosta is correct. When we make ourselves and our pursuits into god, we are well and truly lost.

When we allow self-appointed gods of the psyche to destroy people, when we turn to these false oracles, when we accept their lies for truth and wisdom, we tear down the very fabric of our souls.

I've seen the underbelly of this beast. It is beyond disgusting and horrifying.*

I never understood the appeal of Springsteen.

Same here. Never got it.

Some catchy tunes, but otherwise...meh.

@xenon said in Hell's Basement Apologizes:

Foodie means vagina in my language.

I still remember my dad losing it with laughter when one of my friends claimed he was a “foodie”.

That's Sikh.

For a moment I thought I'd post that picture of Borat.

Then, common sense prevailed.
