Obviously NOT an alcoholic!

Why not replace the main air circulation filter with a HEPA filter? E.g., I have two filters on my AC/heating system that I replace every month or so even though they're still pret…

Why? Dropping nukes on either/both Iran's or North Korea's nuclear facilities and then handing the smoking remains off to Joe Biden would be an excellent display of good judgment a…

Ditto for me. I supported ACLU for decades. But about 30 years ago I noticed their messaging changing: less about racial civil rights and a move toward sexual civil rights. I met s…

So where do us monkeys line up to get a shot?
