Comment So is anyone else bothered by this (Score 1) 82

So I have been noticing that people, especially when interviewed, have developed this bad habit of beginning every statement with an unnecessary 'so'. So this is really starting to annoy me. So lately everytime I listen to a podcast or watch a video that word jars me like a electrical shock. So I know it's coming, and I pray that the speaker will recognize that it is a problem. So but they don't. So will this ever go away?

Comment Why do you hate magic fairies? (Score 1) 554

There is no political will to raise gas taxes. Hell, liberal Massachusetts just voted to decouple their gas tax from inflation, and the Democratic-dominated state government dare not speak the word tax even though none of them will ever face a credible reelection threat. Besides, raising the gas tax means that some of the magic fairies that go out after midnight and fill potholes and repair bridges will have to be let go. Why do you hate them so?
