There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.
Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.
Yes we’ll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we’ll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.
by Shel Silverstein
The steel mill sky is alive.
The fire breaks white and zigzag
shot on a gun-metal gloaming.
Man is a long time coming.
Man will yet win.
Brother may yet line up with brother:
This old anvil laughs at many broken hammers.
There are men who can’t be bought.
The fireborn are at home in fire.
The stars make no noise,
You can’t hinder the wind from blowing.
Time is a great teacher.
Who can live without hope?
In the darkness with a great bundle of grief
the people march.
In the night, and overhead a shovel of stars for keeps, the people
march:
“Where to? what next?”
— Carl Sandberg

They certainly are an unattractive bunch. Why is that do you suppose? I’ll say this for them- they’re all very impressed with their own intelligence. Especially that kid in the striped shirt. He needs his goofy head stuffed in a toilet bowl.
JWM
Are you suggesting that his head will work as a toilet brush?
You are right.
Vacuous, vain, pompous fakers, PP (Pseudo People). Excellent sample of the D-Generation of the nation.
Dumber than disconnected fire hydrants dog-whistling, “Pee on me.”
I suspect these were graduate students, given their well-considered comments.
Toilet Brush is a good example of the first wave of fodder.
Why don’t you self-important nozzles gather 6 or 30 of your like-minded rimming partners and create your own commune? “Workers own the means of production” philosophy and “equal say in all decisions” with no “white supremacy” in sight. After all, since your view of the future takes in to account the lessons of the past NOT AT ALL, you should be free to form a much better, more fair, and more efficient social network than all the oppressive fascists that came before.
Start on the first of the month and we’ll check back on your success, freedom from discordance, social harmony, and absence of jealousy, anger, and envy in about 3 months.
Deal?
I saw over at Stiltons’ that President Trump picked this year’s Miss America. Man was that ever an out of left field choice.
But leave it to The Boss, eh?
Pathological liars are dangerous, very dangerous.
There is a weird sort of sense to the vid, they are showing (without realizing it) that they are predisposed to oppose ANY candidate Trump nominates. He could name Hillary Clinton (perish the thought) and they would protest that.
How does the interviewer not say, “Have you even read the Constitution?”
An old traveling salesman joke tells of a guy having a flat tire on a country road at sundown and finding he had no tire tool. Remembering the farm house back down the road, he sets out walking to borrow a tire tool. As he walks, he imagines all the things that are going to go wrong when he gets to the house: the dogs are going to come after him, he might get shot for approaching the house after dark, the farmer will be so angry for being awakened he won’t loan him the tool. He finally arrives at the farm house, and he’s made himself so angry at the farmer he picks up a rock and throws it through the upstairs bedroom window. Looking out the window, the farmer sees a man standing in the road, shaking his fist at him, and screaming: “Just keep your damned tire tool!”.
Prejudice is a self-inflicted wound.
I want to see the video when he tells these pretentious propagandized geniuses what ignorant tools they are. I want to see an NHL-style reality check into the boards that launches them up into the cheap seats. Shame and humiliation is what they need, badly.
And keep in mind that these are selected from the ones that knew what a “Supreme Court Justice” is!
Remember when ignorance was no excuse?
Mark Dice has a number of videos that come under the “sadly hilarious” label. It’s hard to believe that so many people are so uninformed and ignorant, but it’s true!
Saddest of all, it’s the people who think they’re educated that are the worst offenders.

Left wing pinko marxist commie trash. Pulled that out of the way back machine.
I was going to write that these are the people who will someday wield authority in our government and institutions but that would be to ignore the fact that people with very similar educations and outlooks and certainly no more intelligent or capable as these have been running the government and many major institutions for at least a generation.
