That’s one term collectors of antique and vintage items use to describe some pieces in whatever their field of interest is. It can also be a description of days this poster is not crabby, grumpy, belligerent, whiny, disagreeable, sarcastic, bitchy, obstinate, opinionated, grouchy, bitter or profane. This is one of those rare and seldom seen days. The weekend, once again, was proof there is nothing in this world so important as family. During the past week, RJ’s team took third in their league tournament.
On Saturday, RJ’s big sis, who is 14 going on 30, played in the all-star softball tournament. She played left, third base and pitched an inning. Keep in mind, these girls play fast pitch and some of them can really bring it. Here she is with the game ball.
Yesterday was Tyler’s 7th birthday party. His blood count had been low so he spent most of the week in the hospital. He was released on Friday and had the party yesterday. He has dark circles under his eyes and he’s really, really tired. Nobody should have to go through what he is. But he has a loving support group and he’s unbelievably strong. He has about a million Legos and loves to play with his older cousin, RJ.
It’s things like this that help keep you grounded in reality when every instinct you have is to say: screw it, it’s not worth it. There’s an awful lot we can learn from kids when we take the time to listen.

DNC speaks to empty College Democrat event
•The conference could barely fill the first two rows of seats.
•The speakers emphasized the important role Millennial voters can play in the political process by getting out the vote, engaging fellow students on campus, and supporting the objectives of the Democratic Party.
•The conference began July 22 and will end this Saturday
Donna Brazile, Vice Chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee and frequent television political commentator, began an unscheduled appearance by thanking “all those who work so hard to ensure that all of our young people, all of our College Democrats, are involved, active, and engaged in the national Democratic Party.”
Brazile encouraged the members of the sparse audience to seek public office while pointing to an empty chair on stage.
“I want you to start thinking about filling this seat,” said Brazile, who said she has been active in politics since childhood and looked forward to the contributions of the next generation

POT…MEET KETTLE
I’m looking for new, creative, innovative, disruptive ideas that will save capitalism for the 21st century because it is the greatest engine of economic opportunity and potential that has ever been invented,” Clinton said. “It is one of the great accomplishments of the American political and economic history. It created the opportunity that so many generations of Americans took advantage of and that led to the creation of the middle class, the extraordinary economic accomplishment of our country.”

Texas Supreme Court Tells Houston: Repeal Gay Rights Ordinance or Put It to a Vote
HOUSTON IS THE AREA REPRESENTED BY SHEILA JACKASS LEE
Houston Mayor Annise Parker (at podium) announces the withdrawal of subpoenas for the sermons of five local pastors at a press conference on Wednesday October 30, 2014.
I BELIEVE IT WAS ANNISE PARKER WHO DEMANDED TO SEE ALL THE PREACHERS’ SERMONS IN ADVANCE FOR HER PERSONAL APPROVAL.REMEMBER?
There is now near certainty that Houston’s controversial equal rights ordinance, known as HERO, will appear on the November ballot, as Texas Supreme Court has suspended it, ruling that City Council must repeal it by August 24 or put it to popular vote.
“We will now get to vote on Mayor Parker’s personal, liberal, LGBT agenda this November!” Jared Woodfill, former Harris County Republican Party chief and ones of the plaintiffs, wrote in a blog post.
The gay rights ordinance, which, among other things, allows members of the opposite sex to use each other’s restrooms, hit the headlines after a group of conservative pastors, known as the Houston Five, were subpoenaed by the city in a lawsuit.

That guy’s REAL problem is that he’s fat and stupid and can’t get laid. He doesn’t actually give a crap about women or feminism. He just knows he can’t compete for the attention of the strong, intelligent, gorgeous chicks on the right, so he has to make this lame video to try and get some wimpy, dumb, ugly feminazi on the left to go out with him.
He’s actually so dumb that he doesn’t realize that the feminazis are man hating ball busters. Even if he got STD tested and took a selfie to staple to his pre-f*** consent agreement, if he didn’t satisfy her or she got pregnant or something, she’d still say he raped her. Cuz that’s the way lefties are. Everything is always someone else’s fault. Now give me reparations.

Hah-Hah! Trump Bans Des Moines Register Cranks from Saturday Event After Nasty Editorial

THIS TRAMP IS ALLEGEDLY A COLUMBIA GRADUATE
Just a couple of weeks away from the Obama’s no expense-spared vacation to Martha’s Vineyard, Michelle Obama … you know … made this completely mock-worthy and … you know … hilarious statement (If you don’t want to endure it, I’ve taken the bullet for you and transcribed … you know … every …uh … you know … word):
First of all, Michelle makes mention that some “folks” think of those who are successful that they “lucked up on it.”
And … you know … that’s just crazy talk.
One of the “folks” who thinks those who succeed “lucked up on it” is her husband Barack who, just a couple months ago said, “If we can’t ask from society’s lottery winners tuh just make that modest investment, then really this conversation is for show.”
Society’s lottery winners is Barack Speak for “lucked up on it.”
Of course Michelle … you know … lecturing people about hard work is pretty damn … you know … nervy … you know … especially … you know .. so close to when she and the fam head out for their 17-day … you know … vacation.

Except… I got paid to be a … comic book … reviewer!
(Cue sad violin music)
During the independent comics explosion of the 1980s, I got over the 1970s theft of my 1960s Marvel comics collection, and started living my childhood dream of buying every comic on the rack. (Except some crudely-drawn black&white comic about some kind of adolescent genetically altered tortoises; I passed that one up.) To justify my indulgence, sort-of, I started writing reviews of the comics for the Comic Book Forum on CompuServe (yes, pre-Internet).
Eventually, I was burned out on doing reviews, feeling not like a fan having fun but more like that scum of scums, a critic, when an actual comics-related print magazine asked me to be their
reviewercritic. So, for a few months, I continued my exercise, but my heart wasn’t in it. More importantly, I wasn’t cynical and superior like they wanted, and I was soon replaced by others who were.To prove what a pro I was, they never paid me for my last (non-review) article they published.
Confessions of my wayward past life.
