You are name calling and not really good at it at that.

On the other hand, I actually think you are British, especially
since you won't say every time I have asked.


If that is what you "think", then you should go with it.
Personally, I can see no evidence of you having that capacity.

As for name calling, you and your cabal have established that as the
new norm in the United States. You are acting like a flabby
snowflake when you object to such behavior being turned back on you.

So once again, why will you not simply admit your Russian
connections? Neither you or the Trumps are fooling anyone.

Its also just about time for you to tell the group how all of the
Bannon news is fake, how Trump has actually planned this charade as
a way to divert our attention from some super-secret presidential
initiative of his.

Tell us T, what's next? Is it a preemptive thermo-nuclear strike on
North Korea? What are your Russian puppet masters telling Trump to
do next?


No, I think I will substitute raisins for currents in your Spotted
Dick and see if you notice the difference.

Raisins, yummy. I am touched that you care enough to cook for me.

I refuse to over cook your roast beef!


Are you even able to carry on a conversation in the arena of ideas or
do you block everything out with name calling so you do not
have to listen to anything other than your own Left Wing Axioms.
Calling folks Fascists, Noe-Nazies, Russians is your form of
Gleichschaltung. It is a substitute for not thinking.

I am pleased to discuss ideas, unfortunately, when I reviewed your
posts going back quite a way, you expressed no ideas. You only espouse
Kremlin approved propaganda, radical religious rhetoric and talking
points from FOX news and the new American Fascist Party (a.k.a.
Republican party).

Tell me again how Trump hasn't authored the things he tweets and says
or how he doesn't mean what he is saying. How intelligent educated
people are not able to interpret or understand Trump's brilliance.

LOL.


And you are back top name calling: Kremlin approved propaganda,
radical religious rhetoric, talking points from FOX news,
new American Fascist Party.

And you don't even know what a fascist is, yet you fling the name
around like it was water.

yeah .. I can't walk past anyone who has been smoking without feeling

I had 2 uncles with emphysema which convinced me to give it up.Â* I had

I actually saw a guy dead from lung cancer in the hospital.Â* He was my

in bed
when I came in to see my father in the morning. Nurse came running
in to

Both parent died from cancer related to their decades of smoking.
Growing up I kept asking them to quit, and they would get angry and say
they'll do whatever they want.Â* Well, they did.

I strongly suspect heavy marijuana smoking with contribute to lung
cancer and emphysema.

Uncle M might try the munchies though.


I met a professor from Harvard that was on the surgeon general's
committee when they declared cigarettes caused cancer.Â* In the 20
minutes I talked to him, he smoked 4 Lark cigarettes telling me the
charcoal filter made them safe.Â* Later that year he developed lung
cancer and he was lucky enough to have successful surgery and lived
several more years.Â* Cancer cures smoking as I read this:

I sure do believe that cancer cures smoking!Â* They will stop one way or

Been a long time but I recall it on a bumper sticker on a radiologist

I got the scare of my life 20 years ago when they did exploratory
surgery on me for lung cancer.Â* Turned out to be none cancerous lesions
caused by a pulmonary embolism which was a big deal to remove a year later.

Well, I am glad you are still here, Frank.


Thank you. In the course of that problem I made a lot of acquaintances
with the same problem and sadly a lot did not make it.

Us older folks witness a lot of behaviors like smoking or drug use that
lead to early and unnecessary demise. We try to pass on advice but it
is usually ignored. When I quit smoking there were about 50,000 lung
cancer deaths per year, now I read 130,000. Compare to automobile death
that were about 50,000 then and now are 30,000.

Chicago is famous for 12' underpasses. They are also famous for people
who when you call for directions explain how they get to the warehouse

I had a guy in Pittsburg give me a ration of **** because I couldn't
make a turn down an alley to get to his loading dock. "Can't you drive?
What kind of truck do you have? Nobody else has problems." When I told
him I had a truck with a 53' trailer he said "Oh ****! You not even
supposed to be in the city with one of those." I drove around the block,
parked on the sidewalk, and we took his furniture in through the front
door. The passing cops studiously ignored the elephant on the sidewalk.
On my way out I went through a construction project. Those guys looked
at the truck and started moving barricades and cones.

Last time I was in Pittsburg. Don't ever need to go back.

Truth IS comedy to me. If you think God or the Great Spirit In The

really wants to believe there is a magic 'deflate' button so you can
continue forward and not ruin his day completely.

Chicago is famous for 12' underpasses. They are also famous for people
who when you call for directions explain how they get to the warehouse
-- in their Prius.

I had a guy in Pittsburg give me a ration of **** because I couldn't
make a turn down an alley to get to his loading dock. "Can't you drive?
What kind of truck do you have? Nobody else has problems." When I told
him I had a truck with a 53' trailer he said "Oh ****! You not even
supposed to be in the city with one of those." I drove around the block,
parked on the sidewalk, and we took his furniture in through the front
door. The passing cops studiously ignored the elephant on the sidewalk.
On my way out I went through a construction project. Those guys looked
at the truck and started moving barricades and cones.

Last time I was in Pittsburg. Don't ever need to go back.

Truth IS comedy to me. If you think God or the Great Spirit In The
Sky doesn't have a sense of humor, just look at the people around you!

What a hoot.

Yup, before when I could get around properly that was part of taking in the
sights. It was a circus.

After the big MGM fire in Vegas the county bought a new ladder truck.
Apparently, a fireman on the back half steers the ass end for turning
corners.. Kewl stuff.
