“Then why do so many know-it-alls get elected?”

“There are lots of know-it-alls sometimes, especially when no one knows.”

“Like Iran in 1978?”

“What happened?”

“All the experts left the oil industry to new managers.”

Anecdotal:

I figure to be more involved, either for or against the Trump Administration policies than if “that woman” is elected.

Why?  She won’t ask for it.

Point Trump.

Score Card:

Hillary Clinton: 5 Rubes

Donald Trump: 2 Rubes

Dear Gilbert:

BEVERLY HILLS COP: How does one write a joke about cops?

STUDENT: Maybe more women cops won’t be so bad.  Male cops don’t usually treat me so good.  Arn’t enough female cops to date as it is.

GILBERT GOTTFRIED: One doesn’t write a joke about cops.

When faced with an opportunity to stop a fight, sanctimonious bullshit stands or falls on one step–in the heat of the moment. Inspired by U.S. Naval Reserve Officer Bob Farina, High School Teacher, Redwood City, CA See also, scripture where St. Peter carried a sword and struck at the servant of the Chief Priest, Malchus’ ear [John 18:10].

Let’s start, for instance, at wounded knee.

#IBuriedMyHeartAtWoundedKnee

A Film, and a book from the 70’s we studied at San Carlos High School through the Ilios “Indians” course.

Yes, we did things back then. I was a participant, not ordinarily an organizer except in my capacity as the older brother of the family. [We got some Playboy magazines from our uncle in law and his brother and started the “Playboy Club” and began to collect dues to buy a ping-pong table.  It got warped from the rain and the members got angry. My sister wasn’t allowed in the club to look at the Playboys so we disbanded. I returned the dues proportionally. Any discrepancy was eaten {only a few cents} by yours truly].
