A good bad movie is like popcorn for the soul!

In the recent flap over the Confederate flag, I have been HUGELY annoyed by some of the pure misinformation and BS being posted on social media.  One dude on my FB feed posted "Fifty Little Known Facts About the South and the Civil War" and virtually every ONE of them was either pure falsehood or else it was a half truth presented in a misleading way!  Have none of these idiots ever heard of primary source research?

I saw one guy make a post that included the gem "the North had slaves too!"

It should be up to the people who live in South Carolina to decide by majority if the Confederate battle flag ought to keep flying above their statehouse---that's how democracy, in theory, works---but it is increasingly annoying me that society is trying to attack the rights to free expression of anyone driven for whatever to display Confederate symbols on their private property or individual person. If they want to be alienated by their own choice, let them. As my Jewish friend said not long ago when we were passed downtown by a skinhead with a swastika tattooed on his head, "He's mostly hurting himself."

"I saw one guy make a post that included the gem "the North had slaves too!"

Slavery was legal in much of the north at times past, and in Connecticut until 1848. Also after the (Dred) Scott v. Sandford decision (another of the Supreme Court's misery-generating displays of judicial imprudence) there were at any given time significant numbers of enslaved peoples residing with their owners in northern states, with Saratoga Springs, New York, a spa popular among wealthy southerners escaping summer heat, said during peak vacation times to be as much as 1/10th populated by slaves. (Though that figure could be Henry Ward Beecher's hyperbole.)

There's also the irony that while the Confederate flag flew over slavery or about four years, the American flag flew for ninety years over a nation where slavery was constitutionally legal.

History is messy.

Of course, but not at the time of the Civil War! The guy's quote was "Com e on you people do you think everyone in the south had slaves and they would go to war to keep there slaves?Buy the way there were slaves in the north too."

People who think they are "entitled" but don't know or simply ignore their own stupid actions.

The fact that Google Chrome doesn't have a "fit to page" option in their print window.  What I see in "print preview" is a few lines longer than what actually prints, which sort of sucks when the total for the page is on one of the missing lines  Hatred

Whenever I've just sat down and someone asks me to get something for them.

...especially since my feet hurt me so much these days that it's difficult for me to get up once I'm sitting.

Ivy from the neighbors that climbs all over my fence and doesn't want to let go.

Having a blood blister develop under your fingernail. 

Getting a cut on the webbing of your fingers.

Sore taste buds on the tip of your tongue.

A barrage of half-sneezes.  OUT WITH IT!

Wasp nests. (none for the last few years though.. thank God)

Movie ticket and concession prices.

Knee or shin contusion.  OUCH!

Neighbors who don't leash their dogs outside at night (and therefore go after my dog when I walk her).

Food that seems to go bad even before the expiration date.

Burning the roof of your mouth on hot pizza. Turns a pleasure into an annoyance.

Youtube trolls are the worse, I think commenters on Gawker sites like Jezebel/Gizmodo/Kotaku are the absolute worse.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
