[Fresh Wind]

“We hold these truths to be self-evident...the Golden State is um, uh, you know, the thing.

[Bookshelf]

The way the LATimes is rushing pell-mell to bankruptcy, MARK Z. BARABAK and ANITA CHABRIA likely won’t be around long.

[MachIV]

You couldn’t force me across the state line into California at gunpoint.

[TallahasseeConservative]

My oldest Son is homeported there as well. Says it’s a beautiful place for the most part but he’d never consider living there. We’re going to visit for the first time later this year.

[dpetty121263]

Northen California is very nice...BUT way too many strange characters live out there..

[hinckley buzzard]

“‘not really American.” whatever that means…

If he were an American he would know well what it means.

[GOPJ]

Mark Z. Barabak and Anita Chabria also believe the news industry is thriving in the United States, that the LA Times is making money hand over fist with their massive subscription base, and that the color of the sky in their world is a light purple.

[Luke21]

Barkin’Mark Bazabak (sic) is a big time super lefty. I’ve read his commie tripe for years.

[Bishop_Malachi]

“...the supposed failures of the Democratic Party, especially around crime and immigration, and reality be damned.”

Supposed? Really?

[Lazamataz]

Help me become President and I will set this nation on the right course.

[bert]

The right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness can and has been forfeited by those who weaponize government

[DoodleBob]

I DID give a delusion alert.

[Nuc 1.1]

You should run. Vote for you in a minute!

[Lazamataz]

Well then. I have a vote!

Time to formally declare my candidacy for President for 2024!

My campaign slogan: “Love Life Long Time With Laz!”

(Informal campaign slogan: “I’d hit it!”)

[crusty old prospector]

I’d love you long time.

[Elsie]

As goes California...

[shoff]

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government”

[Elsie]

Indiana is a hick state.

We once tried to define π as 3.00

Nothing fun happens here: no surf, grey sky, no mountains, and bad skiing.

Bible thumpers abound!

You'd BETTER like corn and soybeans!

There are three things that rate - circles!

You can drive for 500 miles in Speedway and rarely see a traffic light.

You can practice for the Speedway by racing ~53 miles around I465 with other aspiring drivers.

And you can walk 1,000 feet around the Circle downtown; while looking for the governor's dirty laundry..

Don't move here
Don't even VISIT here.
Just... DON'T!

I would imagine the folks Columbus found here had approximately the same feelings when they lamented: “There goes the neighborhood.”
