Boanerges commented on Johnny Robish's blog post Trump Claims Noise From Wind Farms Cause Cancer

"What a dork. Know what's awful (at least for me)? He and I are roughly -- and I wish it could be rougher, the coward -- the same age. Theoretically, it supposed to mean that he and I share many of the same viewpoints. Well, we don't. And I…"

Boanerges commented on Johnny Robish's blog post Trump Once Again Claims His Father Was Born in Germany

"Lessee. Bavarian-born, draft-dodging grandpa was a pimp; Bronx-born slumlord dad was sued for housing discrimination; SDNY and NY AG chasing his own business dealings ... I have to wonder if the Fanta Menace has been smelling burnt toast lately.…"

"I just highlighted some events of this remarkable man's life, Ron. There's so much more. And I hadn't realized Stowe was never in the South, so thanks for that detail. She did a genius job. Yes, he was courageous, Tom -- and passed…"
