This title could be a record.

I think there is a limit, but there is a pretty wide berth here.

Frank Zappa was one of the most unique characters of my generation.

What kind of long hared habitual teetotaler makes a signature album, entitled "Weasels Ripped My Flesh". A Jazz guitarist posing as an hippie anarchist that's who.

Outstanding post in these Democrat proclaimed "worse than watergate" times.

Me thinks the Democrats' media "crying wolf" may eventually get these TDS victims, and their lackeys, eaten by the political bear.

It did appear effortless.

Your brother probably has a most settled spirit. Good music does come from the soul.

Also Booby Tony, I will argue that using your hands on a regular basis, as I am wont to do, which will forestall the ravages of arthritic fingers and palms.

I would love to have one of those to teach my grandchildren how to play a whole bunch of chords. I'm also a big fan of G - C - F - Bm - Am - and one of my favorites - Em.

There are so many cool chords, so little time.

This is funny: Donald Trump / Forrest Gump.

Both became rich, and both were from The South. Wait ... Let me explain that better Forrest Gump was a fictional Southern son, and Donald is an adopted Southern son.

Dude, as you probably know, I am a huge Orwell fan.

Even when I was an idiot Hippie I got it. I had an advanced English instructor, who swore that I had plagiarized an analysis I had written on the book "1984", but could not prove it; actually said it was one of the best he had ever read on the classic. I kind of understood because I did not fit the stereotype that could write such as a jock-turned-hippie.

Decades later, that English professor called me and apologized for that accusation. He had read some stuff I had written that he really liked, and told me that he knew I was capable of such.

Strange world; and even more strange Orwellian.

This is a whole 'nother twist on "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth."

You're right Bobby Tony. It is a blast. If I not out hustling up business around the 1:30 pm, I tune into the Sean Spicer show on FOX to watch the pansy assed media just try to find some footing that serves their partisan Democrat needs.

I governed for 18 years, and the longer I did it, the wiser I became, and that wisdom did come far faster that my opposition's ability to comprehend the same subjects, I well learned that at some point there is a real, abject ludicrousness to the way we should govern, and the way Democrats, RINOs and bureaucrats did govern.

At some point, I determined not that I was consistently right, what mattered is how the Democrats, the RINOs and bureaucrats sold it, which they could because they had the money and the media, and then came BCN, and we did make some difference - at least we created an alternate and far more accurate record.

'Trump is crazy ... crazy like a Fox.'

I'm done second guessing the man. Now, I just pray our President, and I pray for our Republic, and I am becoming nearly sure that God's hand is guiding, using the man as He so wishes.

Great Dylan Thomas reference as a metaphor for the obvious state of affairs.

Trump will challenge the status quo between good and evil, life and death, and, I am pulling for him.

Homebrun here Bobby Tony.

You took one of my top 50 favorite movies and used it as a perfect metaphor to explain the incredible behavior of the Democrat party and the Democrat Media.

Thank-you.

You hit the nail on the head Bobby Tony.

And now we know what it means to patriot: Standing on principle no matter what occurs, on the legacy issues that made this nation great.

You intrinsically know what that means. Diane does too.

Actually Congress has a rating in the high 30 percentile now.

Must be the Trump effect, and I'm not talking about TDS. Maybe Trump is making congress look better, for good or ill.

When did you come to the Pearl on the Pamlico?

I know I sound like a broken record, but: I really did not like Candidate Trump that much; however, supported him because of the obvious alternative, but ...

I really do like President Trump ... a lot. This guy governs just like I did at the county level when I was a county commissioner for 18 years; however, on much larger level, but the objective is the same: 1) Keep your promises as best you can; 2) cut wasteful spending; 3) limit the scope of government; 4) bust up special interest when you can; and 5) always stand up for the little guy against Liberals and Cronies, who use government like they alone own it, usurping the rights of the People.

Yeah, I like President Trump a whole bunch right now. He is pissing off all the right people.
