The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I won't even click to watch it. Just the picture - makes me queasy.

And frankly --- I love a joke and politically incorrect humor. Be it stand up comedy, be it between buddies..... I love a good ethnic joke that's designed to make fun --- not to hurt people. Back in middle school our little group of buddies consisted of a white kid, Chaldean kid (catholic Iraqi), Indian kid, and a jewish kid....and perhaps 3-4 times a week man we'd hit each other with slurs, with jokes, and every once in awhile someone would get a bit bent but mostly we laughed our asses off, often telling he joke about our own group.

We're actually in touch to this day.... the least successful one of us C-D-F students is a regional pharma sales manager. All happily married and touring college campuses with our kids.


But the picture I saw of the Obama's? NO HUMOR WHATSOEVER.

And frankly, the Obamas.....be it in decency, education, family values, set an example that many in America can only aspire to.....ESPECIALLY the trailer trash billionaire in the White House with his multiple wives and kids from uteri all over the fruited plain.

Sorry, but more and more of America's Welfare Queens aren't just in the usual place....they are in Red States, replete with their big crucifix, low cut dress, and illegitimate kids and dependence on government programs.

I didn't vote for President Obama. But in terms of decency and poise, it's have zero qualms and only respect and I've written that back during my most partisan days on TMF.

If I write any more about this, I'd be. bit hyperbolic as I tend to me, and I'd probably have some agency coming to visit me, so --- I shall end the post now.
