Tom P:  Donald Trump for president. It sounds like something out of a cartoon! Humpty Dumpty for sheriff. Elmer Fudd for city council. Daffy Duck for U.S. Senate. Sometimes I think that all of this is some weird dream and I will wake up someday and find myself the owner of an ice cream store.

Jan Wopperer  Some speech can be powerful enough to cause suffering and drive people to hurt and kill others… and that is a crime. Hate speech should be illegal if we care about the suffering of others, which we should. How do Americans define morality? I can’t tell sometimes.

Tom P:  Hi Jan, The Constitution was written by a bunch of guys with powdered wigs and funny little buckle shoes a long time ago. It gets amended now and again, depending on what arises in America. America is a great , giant land with a very shallo…w culture compared to much older civilizations. What do we Americans share as cultural models? Cars - Sports - Love of Celebrities - Love of Entertainment - Fast Food - Speed - Las Vegas - God (sometimes).Instead of changing the Freedom of Speech part, maybe they should add a “Stupidity Clause” which makes it illegal for any citizen to act out in the manner of a blatant pinhead or birdbrain. There would be a tribunal, and any American found guilty of violating the Stupidity Clause, would have to pay a fine. We could eliminate the” National Debt” that they’re always crying about…

Jan Wopperer Guess who’s watching JEOPARDY tonight?! ME! Go Watson! :D

Tom P: I could beat that computer. I’d take a small vile of hydrochloric acid and pour it over Watson’s mother-board and then I’d disengage any back-up systems with a pair of insulated tin snips. Then we’d play Jeopardy..”Ruthless Dictators for 1000” .. “He was the first cannibal President of Uganda, blah, blah, blah, .. Who was——-?

Jill O’Malley Yes, when I took my electrical class, you should have seen these grown “men” that didn’t have enough strength to hold lineman’s pliers and make a pigtail….sounds like a personal problem, no? LMAO…

Tom P: I find that lineman’s pliers come in handy when you’re stuck in your trailer and have a toothache. They’re longer than regular pliers and all you have to do is put down one of those fried-egg sandwiches, grad a hold of that nasty ole tooth, and yank it out…

Jan Wopperer My nails are ready for NYC!

Tom P: So are mine. Or at least they were. I was sitting in a South Buffalo bar when the guy next to me said, “Hey Chief, ya wanna help me lift this Kenworth transmission outta the back of my F-350? I told him I’d be more than happy to, except that I just had my nails done. He then hit me over the head with a Genny Cream Ale bottle and I woke up several hours later in an alley next to a garbage bin. Now my nails look like hell; all packed with coffee grounds and pieces of lettuce rind…

Jan Wopperer It greatly disturbs me that many if not most Christians believe that the end of the world will be a glorious time because some ancient book full of insane stories says that a dude who came down here 2,000 years ago to get tortured and murdered is coming again. We should all be concerned… I don’t think these people 1. are thinking logically 2. value the future of humanity.

Tom P: Hi Jan, Apocalypse! Apocalypse! Here it comes! Space will close up.. Time will come to a halt.. Fundamentalists will be sucked up into the sky and given huge pieces of Birthday Cake by God! Others (not so lucky), will be skewered on pitchforks, roasted over an open fire, and fed to a variety of mountain lions and wolves… Makes sense to me!

Jan Wopperer Had a dream that I found Chris Isaak in the park, asked him how old he was, and he replied, “I’m older than I look. I think my son’s more your age.” I shook his hand, leaving all rejected to go look it up and found he was born in 1977. I get all angry and wake up. Right away, I search for real. 1956.

Tom P: Chris Isaak! I went to his show at the Allegany Casino outdoor theater a couple of years ago. A friend of mine who had just had a heart attack and couldn’t go, gave me her tickets. Up until then I didn’t even know who he was! A bunch of crazy Apaches opened for him. I’m glad I decided to go.
