Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Joke du Jour


Jean-Paul Sartre is sitting at a French cafe, revising his draft of Being and Nothingness. He says to the waitress, “I’d like a cup of coffee, please, with no cream.” The waitress replies, “I’m sorry, Monsieur, but we’re out of cream. How about with no milk?”

Reminds me of a joke I'd heard long ago:

Rene Descartes sits down at a cafe and orders breakfast and a coffee.
The waitress asks him how he'd like his eggs.
"Scrambled"
She asks if he wants cream in his coffee.
"No thank you"
She asks he'd like any sugar.
"I think not." And POOF! He disappears.

Rumors are circulating in California that radical Muslims are planning to go on a rampage in Los Angeles,
killing anyone who is white and born in the U.S.

Police fear the death toll could be as high as 23.

That joke was told by Melvyn Douglas to Greta Garbo in the great 1939 movie Ninotchka.
