Well, if it's not intentional, then he's not just a loud loutish thug, he's a frickin' IDIOT.

Because he's not thinking any farther than a few minutes down the line. He's not thinking about ANY consequences for his actions. He's not thinking, period. He's just spewing and posturing - and maybe flattering himself into thinking he's a good candidate for future political office.

Oh Smooosh that pudding!!!

When our son was little, I took him and his sister out for ice cream. He WORE his chocolate cone all over his face, his nose, his hands and forearms, and most of his upper body. Don't know how much he actually ate. Sigh... Looked very much like this photo, except for darker hair. I remember an older couple entering the ice cream store and noticing him (hell, how could you NOT?) and they chuckled - "mmmmm! Somebody's sure enjoying his ice cream!" I smiled and responded something lame about loving the laundry room...


Happy New Year back atcha! And to all of DU, a good night - another 365 of 'em!

Hey, YAY to the winners and Better Luck Next Year to the vanquished!

I'm afraid I'm a total lox as far as following the games, the teams, the whatevers, etc. If I ever tune in to the Super Bowl it's really only for the commercials and to see who's entertaining at halftime. Otherwise, what I know about sports - either professional or college or whatever - you could fit on the head of a pin. I only know the Seattle Seahawks exist because my daughter's a big fan. And they ARE in Seattle - correct?

Welcome to DU, Moliere! And Happy New Year!

Glad you're here. Yeah, indeed so about the quotas. The police and sheriffs and Highway Patrol and other law enforcement ALWAYS deny that there are quotas. But I'd suspect there are. Just judging from the general police behavior and anecdotal evidence that I've noticed and heard about over the years.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
