Curious that Scott Kelly’s DNA changed while in space but may not change back now that he’s back on earth. Some changes only work in one direction maybe?
My understanding is that time only goes in one direction. I could never get my head around Hawking’s “A Brief History of Time” that my understanding may not be true.
Dead Right There!!!! Is there an Official Maggott Season? Do you have to tag ’em like deer? If so, with no antlers, so where does the tag go? Thumb, maybe?

I’m not sure but off the top of my head I can’t recall any sitting President admitting in public that they are just making sh*t up as they go:
President Trump boasted to donors that he told Canada’s prime minister that the U.S. has a trade deficit with Canada, despite having “no idea” if that was true. (Reuters)
President Trump boasted in a fundraising speech Wednesday that he made up information in a meeting with the leader of a top U.S. ally, saying he insisted to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that the United States runs a trade deficit with its neighbor to the north without knowing whether that was true.
“Trudeau came to see me. He’s a good guy, Justin. He said, ‘No, no, we have no trade deficit with you, we have none. Donald, please,’ ” Trump said, mimicking Trudeau, according to audio of the private event in Missouri obtained by The Washington Post. “Nice guy, good-looking guy, comes in — ‘Donald, we have no trade deficit.’ He’s very proud because everybody else, you know, we’re getting killed.
“… So, he’s proud. I said, ‘Wrong, Justin, you do.’ I didn’t even know. … I had no idea. I just said, ‘You’re wrong.’

Ignorance is power. Appearance is everything. It’s like a bad 1980s high school script.
“From where Winston stood it was just possible to read, picked out on its white face in elegant lettering, the three slogans of the Party:
WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH”
— 1984, George Orwell.
It looks like the state is actually going to execute Carlton Gary. What happened to the people who were up in arms about Troy Davis? It is amazing what stories people get excited about, and which ones fly under the radar. https://chamblee54.wordpress.com/2018/03/13/carlton-gary-2/
I checked Georgia Teachers pay…boy you better hope they dont see this
https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/3/9/17100404/teacher-salary-underpaid-database
After inflation…they come out WORSE than WV
Teachers in Georgia had their pay cut by 8.7% in the past 15 years
This is worse than the nation as a whole, where teachers have had their pay cut by an average of 3 percent when we adjust for inflation.
And since 2010, teachers in Georgia had their pay cut by 8.2 percent.
This is worse than how teachers in West Virginia have fared since 2010. There, teachers went on strike for nine days and received a 5 percent raise as well as a hold on raising health insurance costs.
LOL!

Stocking Strangler finally executed. Decades too late. Hell, it only took two years to execute the Rosenbergs. Prayers for the memories and souls of his victims.
Another story I had to “dig” long and hard to find on the “internet.” Took hours. I’m having carpal tunnel surgery at 11am as a result of my diligence. Sorry, Drew.

Who knew you’d have to dig long and hard to finding a column about Hillary in a large newspaper owned by News Corp serving the nation’s largest city?
Sarcasm, David. Drew, who worships at the altar of Hillary, busts my chops for posting things related to her.
Andrew complains that you don’t read his posts, but I think you might but read, but not comprehend. Like hearing without listening.
Because I can tell you his response: He doesn’t care about HRC.
You are the one obsessed with her.
But such is the nature of trolls.
