The AmuriKKKan version of "Ozymandias." Ozymandias --Percy Bysshe Shelley I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Michelle O.

DharmaBum50 comments on Oct 3, 2018:

No, sorry, I have to disagree. All of the names mentioned here--Michelle Obama, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren--are the same tired old Democratic (or Democratic Socialist) faces we've seen for years. Republicans already have game plans for each one of them based on their sometimes considerable baggage. What the Democratic Party needs for 2020 is a fresh new face and fresh new ideas. Meanwhile, perhaps this year's midterm elections will produce some of those, but only if Democrats and left-leaning people get the fuck off their asses and go out and vote.

Can someone explain golfing to me?

DharmaBum50 comments on Aug 29, 2018:

When I was in college, I got to be pretty good at golf. And then all of a sudden, I hit a bad streak that lasted for a while. I got scores worse than the first time I ever played. I finally snapped when I missed a putt less than a foot long, and I wrapped every club I had around a tree next to that hole and threw them all into the woods. I have never regretted that fit of anger. So I don't reckon I can clue you in. LOL

I never do *anything* before coffee. That said, I once almost burned the house down after having had several cups. Turned on the wrong burner, and there was a plastic cutting board sitting on it. By the time I noticed and extinguished it (I think I'd gone into the office to visit this very site while the burner heated LOL), the flames were several feet high. So I guess that's proof even coffee doesn't cure spaciness.

Let's read the Declaration of Independence today, since many Trumpets didn't recognize it.

DharmaBum50 comments on Jul 4, 2018:

This part is particularly relevant now: "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

Retirement!!!??? Reality check!

DharmaBum50 comments on Jun 19, 2018:

Congratulations on retirement, and I hope you manage to resist the casinos. I have a number of vices, but gambling isn't one of them. My luck at any kind of game--whether it be backgammon or poker or the stock market--sucks, so I just don't go there. Full retirement looms in early February, 2020, but since I'm self-employed, we'll see if I actually do call it quits then. I say that because my current "semi-retirement" often looks a whole lot like working full-time. LOL
