In this comic science fiction story, the author proposes that the only people who are truly inventive are those who are too inept to do anything else. The hero, unable to do simple math, invents a calculator at age six. He goes on to create any number of useful inventions, including intelligent robots who mock him as a buffoon.
It’s been over four years since she promised to give a press conference and explain how a nudie model got an Einstein visa.
Also, I can’t believe that Stormy Daniels never thought to do a DVD with Melania and Ivanka look-alikes.
The only reason I don’t think Melania has any ties to Putin is that she wouldn’t treat Donnie so shabbily if she had to keep him on a leash. Remember she stayed in NYC for six months at the start of his first term. A handler would be in constant contact.
There was a movie that came out one year before Reagan was elected. “Norma Rae” with Sally Field. It’s about organizing a Union in a small southern town where there’s one big employer.
A lot of US businesses relocated to the South after the Oil Crisis. Reagan and his people feared that those ignorant hillbillies would join Unions, so they moved manufacturing overseas.
I blame Melania. If he was getting love and support at home, he wouldn’t have to spend so much time looking for affection outside the home.
Only mildly sarcastic.
You know who else was a forward scout in WW2?
Kurt Vonnegut! Billy Pilgrim runs into a pair of them before he gets captured by the Germans in “Slaughterhouse Five.”
That was one of the most dangerous jobs in the infantry, because your mission was to locate enemy troops far ahead of any support.
In the Fantastic Four comics, Dr. Doom wears a mask because he was hideously deformed by a science experiment gone wrong. Later writers retroconned it so that Doom had a tiny scratch but was so insanely egotistical that a tiny flaw was too much for him to bear.
I like to think that the kompromat is something like Trump having premature ejaculation or erectile dysfunction, or crying that his Daddy didn’t love him. Something a normal person could shrug off and move on from.
Is he that stupid that he really beleives his plan will work? Or is he so afraid of Putin’s kompromat that he’ll destroy his own country in order to keep it hidden?
Why not both?
Here are some good time travel stories.
To Say Nothing Of The Dog. In the future, time travel is organized like the Army. The problem is that the actual travel causes a serious case of ‘jet lag.’ All the agents act like they are half-drunk and sleep deprived.
The Big Time. Two alien races are fighting a time war that spans all planets in the universe. Earth is a minor backwater, but the fighting is just as deadly as anywhere else. A few soldiers and entertainers are catching a few moments respite in a R + R center when the War crashes in on them.
Predestination. A man is offered a chance to find and kill the guy who ruined his life. All he has to do is trust the stranger who is making the offer.
Actually, he said he’d be a great Pope.
I know thousands of songs. Also, musical instruments like the saxaphone haven’t been invented yet.
It’s like the time he walked onto Air Force One with toilet paper on his shoe.
The people who serve him daily have no respect for him whatsoever.
Trump was correct. He was stabbed in the back by the ‘woke’ Deep State and the media. Biden and Harris destroyed America rather than let Trump lead us to greatness.
No /s, because that’s the explanation you’ll get.
What causes any kind of variation in people’s preferences? Some people think Angelina Jolie is the most beautiful actress ever, and others think she just looks weird.
For all you know, you were scared by a spider at a a very young age and you just don’t remember.
Originally, “astronaut” meant anyone who’d travelled more than 50 miles up. They are astronauts the same way anyone who has ridden in an airplane is a “flier.”
Back in the day, they told Lord Byron that there was a rule against people having dogs at his college.
There wasn’t a rule against having a bear, so he got one of those.
Besides going to a dermatologist, here are a few things.
Change your pillowcases often. Sleeping on the oil creates more oil.
Take some steam baths and saunas. Open the pores and clear the skin.
