"Bless you" actually originated during the days of the plague. Since sneezing was a sign of infection, "Bless you" was a response acknowledging that the person sneezing would soon be dead. It was seen almost as a curse. Knowing the history of the phrase, there are some people I will say it to. Generally I stick with, "Gesundheit!"

It's worse than non-consensual. Here are the lyrics to a song I wrote about it: MFG (Mother F***ing God) Geo McCalip © 2013 BMI This song may upset you just a bit But know this as you listen to it While it may not be correct politically, You will find it's based on true theology. This thing called the Holy Trinity Seems more than a little weird to me. Stranger than a duckbill platypus And just as complex as Oedipus. But people say I'm reasonably bright, And I believe that I've got it right. So, though you may not like what I have to say, I'm gonna just let the chips fall where they may. You've got God the Father and the Son And the Holy Spirit, three in one. The Holy Spirit moved on Mary And fathered the child that she carried. Christ was fathered by divinity But he's part of the same Trinity. Of all the world's religions what are the odds? Christianity got the mother f***ing god.

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 5, 2018:

I absolutely love Long Beach. The theater, art and poetry scenes here are far more than what you would expect in a city this size (470,000). But it is the music that blows me away. On any given evening you can find at least one open mic, but you would be hard pressed to find a single bad performance in a week's worth of open mics. It's not just the quantity and quality of the music, it's the variety, too. I host one of those open mics every Wednesday, and I never cease to be amazed. It's not at all uncommon to have someone singing opera, followed by someone singing country, followed by a rapper, followed by Hawaiian music, followed by someone singing show tunes, followed by a group doing R&B and Motown, followed by a classical guitarist, followed by someone from South America, followed by a talented singer/songwriter, followed by someone doing punk, with me wrapping it up doing a couple of protest songs on ukulele. And we manage to get in a poet or three, too. At the truly professional level, Long Beach was the home of Bird Land West with Charlie Parker, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and Snoop Dog; the Carpenters were from nearby Downey, but came out of the music program at Cal State Long Beach. We have a symphony and ballet company, as well as Musical Theater West which does top notch off Broadway productions. And, if for some reason you can't find enough here, you can take on the traffic, or avail yourself of the Blue Line (light rail) and go into LA. Along with the music we have a great variety of food. Of course we have some great Mexican food, but we also have Peruvian and Honduran restaurants. In addition to Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Thai, and Vietnamese, we also have Cambodian. In one block in downtown you can find Greek, Spanish, Japanese, Irish pub grub, Italian, and a fish house. As for the climate, it's Southern California on the ocean. We occasionally get very strong winds, but they are much warmer that what Chicago gets. If you really want snow, you can go visit it a couple of hours away in the mountains; it's very civilized arrangement. I won't tell you traffic is no problem, but I find more than enough to do within easy bicycling distance that I drive less than 40 miles/month. and most of that is trips to Trader Joe's, Target, Staples, etc. While the cost of housing here has risen noticeably in the last few years, it is still the most affordable place on the ocean anywhere between Malibu and the Mexican border. And my annual bill for heating and cooling (ceiling fan, no A/C) is in the lower end of double digits.

McConnell must have told tRump it had to be done or they could not get Kavanaugh confirmed. Amazingly, that would have been McConnell telling the truth. With out the FBI investigation he would not have had Flake's vote, and possibly two or three others. Of course, with the FBI investigation Kavanaugh is more likely to end up in prison than on the Supreme Court.

This one is for you @Meili. Speaking of Mormons, I was riding my bicycle to the local library. The trip took me by the local Mormon church. I was stopped for a traffic light by the church when three Elders (young Mormons on their mission) walked across the street in front of me. When the light changed I pulled up beside them and asked, "Three elders, and I'm the only one on a bike? What's wrong with this picture?" We all got a laugh out of that. I design T-shirts as a hobby and that conversation actually inspired two designs. The second is for kids.

The Dems may be able to undo it. There is solid evidence that Kavanaugh committed perjury before the Senate during his confirmation hearing, and also before the Committee on the Judiciary during the current hearing. Those charges would be grounds for impeachment. If there was a shred of integrity left among the Republicans it would be enough to have him tossed off the bench completely, not elevated to the Supreme Court.

mcgeo52 comments on Sep 25, 2018:

My question is why did any of these women have to put themselves through this to keep Kavanaugh off the Supreme Court? Please do not misunderstand my question. I have nothing but the greatest respect for these brave women. But why should they have to put their lives on the line (literally, given the threats against Christine Blasey Ford)? Kavanaugh should not even still be being considered for the Supreme Court. The emails released by Corey Booker absolutely prove that Kavanaugh committed perjury under oath before the Senate during his confirmation hearing, and before the Committee on the Judiciary during the current hearing. That works out to multiple counts of a federal felony. Why hasn't anybody on the Committee asked him, "Judge Kavanaugh, in light of the fact that you committed perjury before the full Senate at your confirmation hearing, and you have lied under oath to this committee, why should we elevate you to the Supreme Court instead of demanding that you step down off the bench? If you don't have the character and integrity to take responsibility for your action and resign, you don't have the character and integrity that I believe should be required of a Supreme Court Justice."
