I'm Going To Whine About The Age of Whiners

[Rev. Powell]

I don't see any particular reason to limit the phrase to liberals. Right now, it seems like both sides of the coin act the same way. You ever listened to any of those right of centre radio talk shows/podcasts? Oh boo hoo, I don't get everything my way and there are things happening that I don't like so I am just going to whine about them endlessly.

Certainly in the UK it seems to apply to a broader base of people than just one specific area of politics.

Indeed.

Oh, this was part of a much mocked army recruitment campaign.

These are funny.

Well gosh, as someone who does not watch the NFL, dare I ask what Jlo and Shak did? The mind does boggle....

Kristi put some of it on the TV to see what all the fuss was about. They were dancing and showing some flesh. Nothing I would say was overly scandalous and given the ages of the women involved (43 and 50 I think), I'd say well done to the pair of them. They look good in those outfits.

Just don't let Madonna do it in a leotard, please. I have my limit and no one has invented eye bleach yet.

They had a Tijuana Donkey Show!

There was a good bit of grinding and pelvic thrusting and such . . . not really tasteful for a Primetime event, IMO, but I didn't lose my mind about it.

[ER]

Yeah, that's not appropriate. All grinding and pelvic thrusting should be confined to the game itself.

I seriously heard this said the other day by a young woman living with my cousin. Sweet girl but I confess I did a double take when she uttered these lines:

"I hate when people tell me I act a certain way because I'm a Millennial. We don't all act alike because we're part of the same generation, like Baby Boomers do."

I felt like going, "Um, Kylie...?"
