Robert’s Rules of Order reigns in (or reins in) another weekly meeting of the men of Right Angle.
First order of business: “Who is this Roberts fellow, and why should we let him boss us around?”
We appreciate your Membership that makes all of this dearth of order possible. Thank you.

My brother submitted a humor story to Reader’s Digest, but they didn’t publish it. I submitted the same story to Country and they published it.
Mayor Marty Walsh is a complete douche and I guarantee he agrees with tearing down the Lincoln statue.
I liked the ‘Awww, shucks, ma’am’ look Bill had at the end when Scott was talking him up!

Wasn’t the bleach story debunked? I believe they verified that it was just a very poor job of cleaning the machine and therefore an accident.
I work with these type of machines, I bet the sanitizer wasn’t properly drained before the mix was poured in. 16 year old kids do this kind of stuff all the time.
For Seattle, New York City, San Francisco, Baltimore, and Chaz/CHOP/CHUD or whatever:

Alphonso Rachel(sp) has a tee shirt with Frederick Douglas on it. He gets asked all the time if the picture is Karl Marx. History is not being taught to the children. Especially since they seem to think that Che Guevara was a wonderful person who fought for the rights of everyone. Except for gays, blacks, and anyone who opposed him.
If we had named all those streets, parks, plazas, bridges, etc. for those local black heroes instead of Dr King, people might know about what they did.
Just a note about New York going to Hell….While I’m actually about 60 miles, give or take from there, I feel confident that the citizens of Hell resent the comparison. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%2C_Michigan
I never read Boys Life. I got all my jokes from Highlights mag.
Sounds like a childhood spent in the waiting room at the doctor’s office.
Yeah, pretty much. Goofus seemed a lot more fun to hang out w/. Gallant seemed like a dork.
GOOFUS and Gallant. I went to high school with both. Goofus had fun.
Off topic.
In the past once I listened to a segment I would hit pause, click on one of three different episodes displayed, and a list of YouTube effluvia would appear on the right hand side of the screen. Sometimes there was a pearl buried there amongst the detritus.
No more! What happened?
Is the feature you’re missing only absent on Backstage shows, or on all?
Shake Shack – there are reports yesterday that the incident was accidental, and not nefarious. NYPD investigated, etc. So…. I’d double check the latest reports on that one. (It fits the narrative that we in the conservative camp agree with, so I can see the temptation to use it.)
Of course Shake Shack has to say that, to CYA… but what are the odds that they had this ‘issue’ and it just so happened to be w/ shakes served to cops?
Also, I heard (internet, didn’t see actual article) that Nat’l Guard troops in D.C. a weekend or so ago found glass in the pizzas they ordered. Just an accident…
It’s not CHAZ! It’s an anarcosydicist commune! (Monty Python and the Holy Grail reference)
Scott, the problem with the succotash marketing board joke is it suc from the beginning.
I will let myself out.
Actually, the problem is the lima beans, but you’re not wrong.
Steve, you expect these people to know what “emancipation” means? Sure, Google would tell them in 5 seconds, but that’s too much work.
When it does blow over, what will be left should be the question. The hurricane of temper will end, but what businesses won’t be hollow black shells?
We Get The Government We Deserve. Don’t know who said it first but truer words have rarely been spoken.
Thanks, guys. This should be a great week.
