In theory, all political talk should be done in the political arena

But in reality, that sub is a far right echo chamber and rational adults can discuss political topics in an intelligent respectful nuanced way here. In a very limited way.

I’ve never gotten into golf (beyond Putt Putt 😅).

I remember a college buddy who was a big golf nut yammering on and on about it. “Tiger Woods”, “Big Bertha”…

“Wait… you’re still talking about golf, right? WTF is up with those names?”.

“It’s a driver”.

“There’s a golf club called a Big Bertha?”

“Yes”

“Who TF came up with that name for a golf club?”

“And ‘woods’ are also drivers, right? Tiger Woods sounds like some cheesy Chinese brand”.

“No, that’s the name of a famous player”.

My dad used to play golf with Chi-Chi Rodriguez quite a bit. Chi-Chi would win money betting other players he could drive the ball farther with a Coke bottle than they could with a driver.

Dad would remind me that golf was technique, and also let me know that the distance I could hit the ball would be very remarkable if it stayed on the course🤪. I can slice the ball very well- may be why I prefer knives.
 
I am now inclined to make a passive political comment but not necessarily connected to this current geopolitical situation or particularly to this government although I would be remiss if did not state that the roster and the bench are extremely unimpressive and the skipper? Oh well bless, I shan't even go there.

I have mentioned this (pet peeve of mine) before and it is always worthwhile to remind my friends that I deplore politicians, political pundits and TV talking heads on both sides of the divide who regularly, at times ignorantly, but most often insidiously, refer to the monies appropriated by the Congress which holds the purse for the (Federal) Government to spends, as the Tax Payers money. Other versions of this completely ridiculous argument is the bogus notion of comparing the governments expenditure to that of a household or say a business. Nothing is furthest from the actual truth and this is why you very rarely, if ever, hear a banker use these political talking points. Both the left and the right participate in these practices to score their political points but I will reiterate that on the Federal level, this is completely BS. Our Federal Government does not need our tax $s to pay for anything but for some extremely important reasons it must collect those tax $s in order to keep a functional equilibrium between monetary and fiscal policies.

ETA: another common misconception and misleading statement is that banks need depositors monies to lend out against it by multiples of say 10 fold. No they don't, naught, zero, zippo of the depositors $s.

I asked my kid and she just kept rambling about winnie the pooh. Stupid 2 year old🙄



Yo mama's so fat, she has her own zip code.
Yo mama's so ugly, her portraits hang themselves.
Yo mama's so dumb she stared at an orange juice box for 8 hours because it said "concentrate".
Yo mama's so dumb she thought a quarterback is a refund.

Yo mama's so ugly, she made a blind kid cry.


Speaking of blind kids...... what did the blind paraplegic kid get for Christmas?
CANCER!
