How many baskets of deplorables are there in a barrel?

Good document, thanks. Habitat often builds ramps for low income seniors and disabled folks, but I'm not low income enough...because I worked my ass off at well-paid I.T. jobs for 25 years. But that's OK, it was my choice to do so.

Pumpkin pie? Really? That was #2?

After smelling it for years in my schools' cafeterias, I can hardly bear to look at it.

Fun fact: Here in Florida, a truck bearing a load of pumpkins caught fire on I-78 and paralyzed traffic for hours and hours.

So much for our ability to evacuate in case of an emergency.

Something similar happened in St. Louis in 1997 when a truck carrying frozen turkeys overturned. Frozen turkeys can crash right through your windshield - they're like enormous cannon balls. Then the truck caught fire and defrosted the turkeys left inside it. It was a big mess, but it was also funny.

Yes, Pumpkin Pie was really #2. It was the honeysuckle that surprised me, until the day in late May when a group of Irish musicians stayed at my house while playing a gig in town, and in the morning when we all went outside to eat breakfast on the patio, the honeysuckle in my back yard was blooming. They were all mesmerized, kept asking "What is that fantastic smell??" Avon used to make a honeysuckle perfume, I'm surprised it didn't sell better.

I think its competence and not ruthlessness that the GOP lacks.

And Obamacare was hardly "rammed through:"http://www.snopes.com/aca-v...

But some are a lot scummier than others.

Those who are trying to take healthcare away from millions of Americans, for example, as opposed to those trying to increase coverage.

Brown is a pretty damn effective moonbeam.

And Sanders does not have a long list of legislative accomplishments. His primary role seems to have been to function as the Ron Paul of the left, stirring up people with his rhetoric but acting as a career politician.

The government has far less control over private property than over public property.

Unless Wal-Mart wants to build a shopping center over your house, and then they seize it through eminent domain.https://www.riverfronttimes...
