Quote from: wxfree on September 08, 2026, 04:33:37 AMPolitics is a forbidden topic here, but we Americans have had to listen to the president of the United States make declarations and then had to wait for the government of Iran, an evil and destructive power, to make a statement in order to find out whether that declaration was true. This being the case points out that there is a strong possibility that we did something very wrong.

We allow our media to abuse the First Amendment which is what we are doing wrong.  They all should learn from the Brady Bunch episode where Peter Brady abused his power, and learn from Mike Brady. :bigass:


When Pope Francis died, I had to verify through the Vatican website that it was true.   

Heck, they are still doing it with Pat Sajek.  AI reports he is dead, when he is still very much alive.

New Mexico would have to vote on that, right? Changing a state's name isn't as simple as changing the name of a body of water.

Changing the name of a body of water isn't as simple as an executive order either.

No but he did it.   Just as another Commander in Chief renamed the tallest peak in North America before him.

Hopefully Congress will intervene and legislate that the Gulf and Lake are named their original designations.

Apparently a small town in Colorado has now joined the renaming craze:

"Now, what if da Bearss were to enter the Indianapolis 5-hunnert?"
"How would they compete?"
"Let's say they rode together in a big buss."
"Is Ditka driving?"
"Of course!"
"Then I like da Bear buss."
"DA BEARSSS BUSSSS"

The only thing better than renaming Lake Ontario as Lake America would be renaming Lake Erie as Lake Ohio so Ohio can have a great lake just like Michigan.
Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

Try to solve real problems! Can you think of things worse than that renaming which would not physically hurt anyone?

I may try to find something about physical harm as a result... I'll give that a 50% chance at least.

I think "Kalvado" should be renamed to "ILoveAmtrak" on AAroads. I think this is needed.

At this point, there should be a sequel to the 1998 South Park Movie where Terrance and Phillip and their Canadian pals sing Blame America instead of Blame Canada.

No need to Rush into things.
