@CawthornforNC any chance you can give me a lift? My car's in the shop.

@laurenboebert I've always assumed cheap charlatans with loud mouths have no self awareness--I see that situational awareness is lost on them too after listening to your babble.

@CawthornforNC This is rich coming from a man who threatened to sponsor candidates in the districts of reps who didn't agree with his challenge of the election. Were you scared, or just being a bully?

Also, it's good etiquette to post the name of the writer you quote--i.e. George RR Martin.

[Matt Oakley @GralienReverend]

@DarkJokerXIII @CawthornforNC It assumes a predilection towards religious dogma instead of equal representation for all philosophies--which is what it is.

The religious right thinks that they hold the sole answers to questions of moral philosophy, but fortunately the Founding Fathers knew better.

[Matt Oakley @GralienReverend]

@CawthornforNC Also, let's see if I can phrase this as eloquently as you once did.

Cry more, repub.

[Matt Oakley @GralienReverend]

@CawthornforNC From one Asheville native to another, I'd be happy to explain it to you. Perhaps if you hadn't have flunked out of a political science degree you'd be more familiar with Madison, Jefferson, Paine, and others who advocated for the separation of church and state.

Joe wants something that only Mandy can give him. Unfortunately, Joe is also an idiot. What misadventures await Mandy and the single most inconsequential member of the Miles Above team when they find themselves trapped “In A Van Down By The River”?

Find out October 8th.

[Miles Above @MilesAboveshow]

Joe and Mandy are about to set off on a journey. A journey of discovery, to face their fears, a journey that Mandy doesn't even know she's going to take.
How far would you go... for love?

Trailer drops on Thursday, episode drops October 8th.

In the U.S., white supremacist terrorism has now eclipsed international jihadist terrorism. A former FBI special agent offers a plan to fight back. https://t.co/e7NyoC0YBy

@DPDave1 Not this time, my friend! I'm too quick for them, and know their culture far to well to be outsmarted.

Sad to hear about the passing of Tom Wolfe today. His work in The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby, and The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, influenced me greatly.

The journalistic community has lost yet another truly innovative voice.

“All I want to be is an honest man and who, like Hemingway, endures in my work.”

Perfect words from an honest man.

Hearing the incessant commentary about #WHCD18, I'm keep thinking about @AaronSorkin1 & The Newsroom dubbing the event a "...saturnalia of incestuous infatuation that does little to instill confidence in the public that the press isn't ensorcelled by the powerful"

Had a kick ass time seeing @thedarkness on Friday with @Paraskeptical. Still blown away at how hard those guys rock.

Might have to quit my day job, and start following these guys around. Like The Warriors, these guys are the Last of an Ancient Breed.

Had a good time shooting some photos of my good buddies in Mr. Mange this weekend. Check them out at https://t.co/mKdyr7ZIXF

Perhaps I'm going to have to do more of this photography thing.

Almost every difficult topic is stuck outside the landscape where the answer resides. You can visit, observe and discover. But when you attempt to report back, best case is that impatience causes you to be ignored or misunderstood. Another possibility looks more like Plato's cave
