So Drumpf doesn't need any "celebrities"???

So in the continuing theme of hypocrisy, Drumpf repeatedly criticizes Hillary for using celebrity endorsements, like Jay Z and Beyonce, and says he doesn't need any himself. But then he has Ted Nugent singing his praises on stage in Michigan on Sunday before Drumpf gives his crappy speech.

And Nugent was a classy as you'd expect...

“I’ve got your blue state right here — black and blue,” Nugent said as he grabbed his groin. “Each and every one of you have only 24 hours to convince the numb nuts that you know, that you can’t vote for criminals, you can’t vote for liars, you can’t vote for scam artists.”

Also demonstrating Nugent's integrity, check out this thread by Tommy Carcetti:

Drumpf doesn't know it, but he would be better off without a "celebrity" endorsement like that one.

The Simpson about to become TV's longest-running scripted series

Fox has renewed for seasons 29 and 30, pushing the series to episode 669. Gunsmoke held the record at 635 episodes.

The Simpsons launched in 1989. In its most recent season, the show still drew approximiately 7.2 million viewers.

Do you watch it? Have you ever? Love it? Hate it? Tired of it?

I've never been a big fan, to be honest. I've seen portions of a few episodes and clips here and there, but it never hooked me. I prefer Family Guy, but I don't watch that regularly either.

Are you still wearing jeans?

I saw this British article saying Brits have decreed age 53 to be the limit for donning denim.

Yeah, it's kind of silly and arbitrary but it does seem that as folks get older they tend to stray from jeans. Quite a few older fellows I know like the comfort of sweatpants, even if they aren't flattering.

I'm 43 and I have come to prefer khakis and cords to jeans. No sweatpants yet (my go-to workout wear would still be shorts).

Pope says women will never be priests

Even the progressive Pope Francis put an exclamation point on the issue of women never being ordained.

Lost cause. If they complain about running out of clergy they can go take a long look in the mirror.


The Catholic Church's ban on female priests will stand forever, Pope Francis said Tuesday. The pontiff made the declaration in response to a female reporter asking whether he thought women would one day serve as Catholic priests and bishops, noting the head of Sweden's Lutheran Church whom Francis met on his trip there is a woman.

"St. Pope John Paul II had the last clear word on this and it stands," Francis said during a news conference aboard the papal plane on the flight back to Rome, according to Reuters.

The reporter then asked "Forever, forever? Never, never?"

"If we read carefully the declaration by St. John Paul II, it is going in that direction," the pope responded.

Cutler and the Bears looking sharp in the Monday nighter

The offense has been varied and effective while the defense has shut the Vikings down. Minnesota has looked anemic last week and this week.
