Best Of

I noticed today that most of the threads on the forum are now showing up as the question post type. What happened to the forum @TheCigarChick?

The one the 8x80 was in lol I should start a new thread What Did You Do With Your 8x80

Some of these guys are a little sketchy…you might not want the answer to that

Grammy winner: Beyoncè for Country album of the year. I listen to Country music every day, never heard a Beyoncè song, not once. Hear Lainey Wilson every time, no Beyoncé. Maybe she made an album, I don't know, but I have yet to hear it on any Country station.

So, what are the odds that next years Gospel Album of the Year goes to Ozzy Osbourne? I mean, why not? Maybe a Christmas special in the works?

We live in an age of miracles and wonders. And puzzlement.

Boiled and open fire.

0645 this morning I was sitting with a circle of men from my church, we had our coffee and breakfast and a pretty good lesson about John Wesley's "Holy Club", a mens group at Oxford University founded by Wesley in the early 1700's that eventually became Methodism. It was a good lesson.

Afterwards, the talk turned to politics and Musk's role in government. Several members pointed out that Musk is not any kind of elected official, and their belief that due to this fact that he should not be "writing laws", their terminology. Their thought is that only Congress should be writing the laws. I do not disagree.

However, you knew it was coming, didn't you? However, isn't that exactly what's been happening forever? Bureaus and Department of this or that or the other have been writing the laws, essentially passing laws while bypassing Congress? Just wondering what, if anything, you guys think on the subject?

Full disclosure: No, it's not a trolling trap. I just wonder. There are some really smart people on this forum and I'm curious to see what y'all think. Is this the same? Or something completely different? My opinion has long been that the departments and bureaucrats should not have the power that they do, that they should only be allowed to make suggestions to Congress, and that all Congresspersons should be required to read those suggestions before acting.
