    And that’s the first lesson of growing up.

    Laser sight dots on their foreheads. Hard to see if you don’t know what to look for. That’s why Keith put in his last thought bubble.

    “Bacon cheeseballs?” Is Jackson secretly Jewish?

    I learned decades ago that when a computer saves a file and it “disappears,” it’s usually because you hit “Save” without checking the directory it was about to be saved to and then not finding it there when you look for it.

    Redoing the save steps (if you haven’t already exited the program) usually shows you where it was really saved.

    Thank you. I learned a new word. Sounds so much better than a$$ kisser

    Yeah, but the word is spelled “sycophant.

    ”Syc·o·phant

    /ˈsikəfənt/

    noun1. a person who acts obsequiously toward someone important in order to gain advantage: “because he is high-ranking, he’s surrounded by sycophants”

    “Syncophant” sounds like an elephant who’s got rhythm.

    Mind, I’m also leery of anything that has to be renewed ever few weeks being called “permanent”.

    Old joke: “What this country needs is a temporary tax that’s as permanent as a permanent wave.”

    Big difference being transported to the gas chamber and ovens versus being removed from an area you had no legal right to enter.

    The end result may be different, but the decision to deport may not be as remote as you might think if the people making the actual decisions take matters into their own hands. People who are here legally can also be deported, which was the point of my post. Stern was there legally but was caught up in the roundup.

    By the way, the people who employ these people do not want them to disappear; they lose their relatively cheap workforce. There could well become a black market for “deported” workers who are still here, working as secret slave labor under the threat of really being deported on an individual basis.

    I’m afraid that the same may be true for other minorities, once the roundup of illegals gets started if you are not white you may be endanger.

    In a terrifying (but not remote) comparison, I’m reminded of the scene in Schindler’s List where Yitzhak Stern forgets his identity papers listing him as a necessary worker for Oskar Schindler and gets loaded into a freight car headed for a concentration camp.

    To paraphrase Jessica Rabbit: “He’s not gay. He’s just drawn that way.”

    (Yeah, I know he’s supposed to be. I’m trying to point out that his nature is conveyed to us only by what Jan puts down on the paper.)
