Hate to be all morbid, but he doesn’t exactly look to be in the best shape
Justice Clarence Thomas hospitalized with infection, Supreme Court says

One can dream….

Dustmites the world over love you for your feet.
Your mother once had eyes that shone like the legs of Mae West.
Your fingers are as divine as the pope's nostril hair.

"Located in the flyspeck village of St. Vith, 87 miles southeast of Brussels, the library houses the world’s most extensive collection of sourdough starters, those bubbling beige globs of bacteria and wild yeast — known as “mothers” — that bakers mix into dough to produce flavorful loaves with interestingly shaped holes. If a mother isn’t regularly divided and kneaded and fed with flour and water, she will eventually go dormant or die. “A starter has its own heart, almost its own will,” Mr. De Smedt said. “Treat a starter nice and it will reward you tremendously, like a good friend.”

I wish there was some way for us to answer the questions before seeing the responses.

I was spot on for 95% of them; the demographic ones (high income, religion, ethnicity) elicited no surprises.

People are dumb.

Also, 27% Muslim, 41% Catholic,  33% Atheist, and 70% Christian.

I guess they must have figured there are some Christians who are also Atheist?

Edit: 58% was the guess for Xstian. 70% was the actual.

Society at large constantly talks about the Jews like they're this huge block of people or a religion on the same footing with Christianity writ-large or Buddhism or Muslims, but they aren't even close size-wise. There are more LDS members than Jews worldwide.

I think this is a by-product of America acting like WWII is the greatest accomplishment in our national history and the super complimentary (to America) one-sentence version of what that war is about is "saving the Jews" and so they play and outsized role in people's heads.

Latest nonsense from the trucker convey is to citizens arrest DC police and the mayor..

As to the arrest reasoning:

(Double Checks Notes)

  truckers haven't been able to "go to the bathroom" while circling the Beltway, which has left "people hav[ing] actually pissed their pants!"

Guess they never heard of diapers, Gatorade bottles or common sense

been three days and rumors are flying… using ventilator?

[insert tasteless joke about blowing hot air]

whenever i ponder the QOP idiocy that infests capital hill today, i'm reminded of when Doris Kearns Goodwin was on the Jon Stewart Daily Show  once and said one session of Congress was particularly notable due the number of illegitimate children born as result of them being  in town…  wish I could find the actual episode where she said this, but clearly she was a favorite of Jon's as there are almost yearly appearances 

anyways the country would be in a lot better place if shagging around was the biggest scandal, instead of spewing inane conspiracy theories, racism, etc.  guess only Matty G. is upholding the traditions of the past…

clearly we need a thread for this..

the dumbest of them all and this is saying allot  given recent MTG musings…

As allergy season gets underway, I encourage everyone to take their allergy medicines so that my allergy medicines can work.

You know, it doesn’t work unless everyone takes it.

i guess it could be a very poor attempt at sarcasm… but…

and oh and per MTG Nuclear War will bring food shortages.. that's what her constituents are worried about..

Here's your tip for today. 

McDonald’s is bringing back the Nugget Szechuan Sauce for app users.  When it first came out as a limited release, people grabbed tons of extra packets and sold them on Ebay for $30+ for a single pack.

There you go . . . get nuggets, and get rich.

what ever happened to those people, who saw Jesus or the Mother Mary in burnt toast, and the such?

I’m all for taxing the rich more, but taxing unrealized gains, that has a snowballs chance of surviving in Miami

Focus on income/transactions of individuals and corporations.  There are enough loopholes to fill there for billions, if not trillions

57% of Americans pay no income tax.
