something that seems to occur with unusual frequency I have read that may not be true statistically. It would be interesting to see it more carefully analyzed. You may be right, Ned, but unfortunately, our society isn't influenced as much by statistics as it is by perception. And that's a media creation.

Here's an article that claims to have some statistical information: Aren’t more white people than black people killed by police? Yes, but no. --Percy

Another way to view this problem is to ask if a white guy wearing a three piece suit while driving a Lexus in a similar situation would have a gun pointed at him and fired. The answer is probably not.

Governor Mary Fallin of Oklahoma has designated October 13 as a day of prayer for the oil fields.
What's God going to do, put more oil in the ground? What specifically are they going to ask for?

No doubt they will add the disclaimer, "If it be thy will," which not only makes the request redundant but also serves as an escape clause when the prayer isn't answered.

Bangs don't create Apparently he's never heard of popcorn. Proves what I have always believed: you can't have Twitter without a lot of twits. Edited by Diomedes, : No reason given.

Trump's disassociation from reality will be written into the history books, but you need a special kind of crazy to be Loony Of The Week. I think this will do it: "Wait a minute so if I take hairspray and if I spray it in my apartment, which is all sealed, you’re telling me that affects the ozone layer? ‘Yes.' I say, no way, folks. No way!"

Doc, your sentence makes some sense. Trump struggles with his sentences making sense.

Around 1970 my friend's family converted to the then-burgeoning fundamentalism as part of the "Jesus Freak" movement. We read all the Chick Pubs we could because they were so hilarious. I even read the original "Big Daddy?"
Years later when I used a public restroom, I found that somebody had placed a Chick Pubs tract on top of the toiler paper dispenser in each stall. That was very thoughtful of that person and I did appreciate the sentiment, but those pages were just too small to be of much use for wiping myself.
