"Look at that poor woman trying to jog around that track. Her rear-end is dragging a trail, bless her heart." Youngblood and Poole talk about the ins and outs of nosy neighbors, sibling rivalry, and why every Southerner worth her salt feels the need to offer advice.

This is a collection of my thoughts over the years, well the ones I felt note worthy anyhow. Most are Facebook posts, others private or not so private thought moments. I find most to be humorous and witty. My wife just finds them mildly funny if at all tolerable. She reminds me often that I am not as funny as I think I am. Either way, I hope you enjoy this short collection of moments and stories. In conversation someone asked me if I was opened minded, I replied “Yes, but not to the extent of listening to stupid ideas.” Brian E. Niskala

"I liked you better before you became political. When all you cared about was making movies about cops, cyborgs, and brain-dead zombies." "I liked you better before you became one of those brain-dead zombies." Marxist-spouting professors. Tolerant Westside liberals refusing to be tolerant.

On the most divisive day of the year, in the most racially-charged city in America, recently red-pilled movie producer John Duke is about to learn what political correctness really...
