Merry Christmas Jim. I’ve enjoyed your writing since the comics where the only joke was “Batman is gay”. Thanks for your insights and humor.

You are the only Substack I pay for. I would send you a private email but I didn't see one listed, but I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy reading your columns. Well worth the $5 each month!

Thanks for sharing your views with us. I respect your views, but really enjoy the presentation. I finally broke down and subscribed. The delay was only partly due to me being cheap. The main reason for delay was my laziness.

I hope you don’t mind your readers congratulating you for sticking with your goal to stop drinking. I think I can understand how difficult that can be for some people. A few years back you wrote of your experiences after reading “Wheat Belly,” and changing your diet. I read (most of) the book and tried to adopt some changes. I felt like it helped me lose some weight, but my laziness and short attention span eventually overcame my progress. I might be wrong, but I assume both of those accomplishments of yours reflect a strong discipline and character on your part.

Thanks for creating an outlet for your writing. I hope you have a healthy and prosperous 2022.

Congrats on four years sober. Now if only I could do that with food. ;-)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Jim. Good job staying off the booze, that sounds like the right and healthy choice for you.

Merry Happy and congrats on that four-year mark.

I don't know if I'm an oddity among your subscribers but I am a liberal who enjoys your wit and intelligence. Hope all your many readers from over the decades get in here and keep you going,

An observation--I don't plan to follow up on that Alsatian thing from Scotland but surely the woman involved is a guy in drag.

I think Ray Charles could have seen that!

I'm not sure Jim fits neatly onto a one-axis liberal-conservative spectrum.

There should be more people if all sorts for that very reason.

In the article about the CNN rapist, they spell out slut and whore, but won't spell out b@@ch. Since that is a proper word with a proper meaning (female canine), why the prudery? Is calling a woman a bitch worse than calling her a whore or a slut? If so, why?

Keep up the good fight. I'm glad I spent the money to subscribe. Our agreement Venn diagram is pretty well overlapped, but I enjoy the comments especially on stuff we disagree about. Call me crazy! Merry Christmas and goodbye 2021! You've been a bitch, a slut, *and* a whore, 2021! Good riddance.

"Just kidding. I’m not going to review 2021. I just want it to be over." Amen, and Merry Christmas to you. Happy New Year, too.

Merry Christmas, Jim, and thanks for leaving all that extra beer for me.

Peace and Good Tidings, y'all!

Woman jailed for having cocaine-fuelled sex with an Alsatian

We’re both of them “cocaine-fueled?” It might make a difference.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, my Hoosier Friend.

And are you sure that Alsatian lover is a woman?

“Who ya gonna call? Try somebody who gives a $#!+.”

Best line yet.

Merry Christmas, Jim! My wife and I read your stuff as the highlight of our morning coffee - we appreciate your style as well as your viewpoint. Nobody else’s views so closely rhyme with our own (except for maybe your media tastes)!
