Engorgeous George

Any journalist who feared blowback and who therefore did not report a story or report the story accurately is, by definition, not a jounalist.

Fireworks in my neighborhood went on past midnight. The residue in the streets is impressive. Back when I participated i would get up early and pickn up and literally sweep the street in front of my house and one house up and down in either direction as well as police up the residue which fell into neighbors yards. It remains to be seen if my neighbors do so this morning. I can't imagine a single mosquito in the area after all teh BBQ smoke and firework smoke. The neighborhood seemed on fire. My wife wants to leave the flags and bunting up through Sunday..

And yet you were entirely unable to ascertain his meaning.

Are you sarcasm impaired? Unable to identify it when you hear it? Are most liberals? I hear this all the time and have seen this "evidence" and I worry for my liberal friends.

Yep. 60's. Written on it was "Board of Education". Pretty sure I deserved it each and every time.

Memory fails, but didn't Howard Stern pay some other tool to do tnhis for a year. If so this is not only unfunny, but derivative.

I like that sombody put this out there mistaking "one" for "won".

I am familiar wiht noncompliance with law enforcement

I am unfamiliar with this weapon. I am unfamiliar with the 7.62 round as a pistol round.

Seems likely to offend a large percentage of the population. That seems strange in front of a business, but maybe that particular arera is quite homogenous, whole milk, wonder bread , and mouth breathing.

i saw lots of grilled peaches recipes. i may do this a few more times to try other things out. I like new things. I had never considered peaches on the grill. Pineapples yes. Apples, yes, but never peaches.

Vietnamese neighbors who I tutored for their citizenship test a decade or so ago just brought over Tif's Cookies decorated in red white and blue. I am unfamiliar with that franchise. Real nice gesture. Being diabetic, which they are unaware of, I will not try them but I am certain they will go quickly with our guests.

That is very frustrating.

Exactly. some grill marks, a very slight amount of carmelization, but needs them firm to slice. I went one minute flesh side down and pulled them to the side flesh side up for another minute and a half and they seem to be what she was envisoning.

Don't know. That would entail interspousal communication. Looks like some olive oil and a bit of salt according to Emeril LaGasse or butter, vanilla, cinnamon and brown sugar according to others. Since they are going to go into a dish with corn and other stuff, sort of a chutney or a salsa, I am going to go with LeGasse. These are not dessert peaches, but grilled peaches.

DEI is affirmative action rebranded to also include women and people who wear their sexuality as a badge.

Right back at you. Have fun, stay safe.

I bet that they are not. Most other days of the year I might, but patriotism on the 4th stikes me as pretty pedestrian. Also, in my experience the MAGA crowd displays Trump flags and Historical flags and signs as well. Also I did not type so much to avoid it but rather to allow you to deduce my stance. I am guessing pretty much everyone that read it understood me. You, well you seem to want to be combative for some reason. Me, I just finished up the lawn and came inside to watch the Nathan's Hot Dog eating contest before doing a few more chores and then getting rerady for guests to arrive.

Time for me to get ready for guests. I have to cut the lawn, get out the yard games. Ice the beverages. Start preparing the shish kabobs and shrimp skewers. Happy Fourth of July even to the angry who see MAGA everywhere. (Oh, we have a politically diverse crowd coming over. We have some potential for inflammatory conversations and hard feelings. I hope everyone is rfespectful one to the other but there is some chance things go badly.

I predict the angry gentleman in the video will end his Fourth of July Celebration being treated for injuries and in the custody of law enforcement.

I do have a flag in a tri-fold display case over my desk. It is from my grandfather's casket when he was buried in Arlington. It was given to my grandmother and has come to me over the years. When I pass away i do not know what will become of it. My daughters never knew their grandfather and have no emotional attachment to it.

Oh, sometime before the weekend is over the flags and bunting at my home will be down and packed away for another year except the one flag we keep handy. That will next be displayed on Veterans Day as an attempt to acknowledge and honor their service.

I do not have $1m to bet. I just know that my home is festooned with flags and bunting today and we are not MAGA, whatever that may be. Many on my block are also displaying flags and bunting today, including some with Biden/Harris bumper stickers on their cars, so I doubt they are MAGA. Later today there will be a bicycle parade at the grade school near my house. The kids will have small flags and red, white and blue crepe paper weaved through their spokes and streaming from their handlebars. I don't think the tykes are MAGA. There is a fellow a few blocks from me who has Trump flags (four of them) flying from his old, out of code pickup which has a broken muffler and cracked windshield. I noticed his house is festooned with various f ags and red, white and blue lights. He is MAGA as he actually has a few large MAGA flags flying in his yard. He also displays the Don't Tread on Me Flag and some Tree of Liberty must be watered by the blood of Patriots flag. l I have no interaction with that fellow. Oh, I seriously doubt you or anyone else on this site has that sort of money to bet.

Interesting his anger and his assumptions. Could those who are displaying it be patriotic without being MAGA? How does he know they did not storm a beach, or at least participate in a foriegn war or military engagement. Maybe they served on a ship at sea or have family members on active duty right now. We are not talking about a Trump flag, just the U.S. flag. I wonder if he will get triggered watching the olympics when the U.S. wins an event and the flag is displayed to announce the country of the winner.

Just emotionally.
