I would say I have a fact-trap mind (assuming the fact is important to me).  But I too have trouble coherently assembling and relating them to others.  They come to me fast and jumbled and I find myself pausing my story to edit or enhance a point already made.  Or even to correct myself if I've caught myself in error (oh wait... not 79%... 74%... anyway...)

I generally compensate by trying to encapsulate the essence of my thought into a one-liner.

The fact-trap also causes me to think slowly.  If I have time to think (like on a school test) I do quite well.  But if I have to respond quickly (like Jeopardy) I'll almost never be able to recall.

I can't wait to play pin the devil tail on Obama.

We're hurt real bad but we ain't dyin'

We're gonna be okaaayy
Say the g--d---- words
We're gonna be okaaaayyy

You can stay if you like cats.

Actually, I'm feeling confident about 2024 too. The economic boom will propel the veep to victory. 2026-2034 will be a dark period though.

Calm down everyone. Rubio will win in 2016. The scandals will matter for Hillary for obvious reasons but Rubio would have beaten her anyway. 8 years of empty chair, an economy gone nowhere, and crackpots everywhere taking advantage of American weakness will result in a red carpet welcome for Republicans. This always happens. The fun parent tells us we can have cookies for breakfast every day. Then when we feel sufficiently sick we look to the responsible parent to cook us some spinach. Then after we spend a few years feeling like Popeye we forget and go back to cookies. If you have to feel nervous, worry about 2024.

Plus, without me, those guys who pass out free Obamaphones would be out of work!  I have at least 60!

OK... right after I waste my day on Ricochet.

EJ did the avatar.... this just keeps getting worse!

You will know them by their jackets.

On the one hand I don't really enjoy travel or interesting food or collecting interesting experiences.

On the other hand I have no career, no hobbies, no talents or abilities... or accomplishments.

So thanks for bringing this up.  I'm gonna go cry.

I'm flummoxed. What could "morally acceptable"even mean? Is the ACA politically acceptable? Is arena football sportingly acceptable? It could mean almost anything. And so means nothing.

This is very simple economics so listen up:  If you tax something, you get less of it.  So...

"When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping." To this day, especially in times of "disaster," I remember my mother's words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world."

 If you don’t like what happened at the IRS, then, you’re arguing that profiling is bad policy.

I get a big kick out of absurdly constructed if-then statements that are delivered as an argument walk-off.   It is really a great tactic.  Almost anything can be forced into the formula and any defense against the statement only legitimizes it.

If you don't like the weather today, then, you must be for international emission reduction targets.

If you don't like getting a flu shot, then, you must be anti-science.

If you don't like chocolate cake, then, you must be arguing for the mass slaughter of camels.

One of the guys in that photo forgot to check the weather report before getting dressed in the morning. Can you guess which one?
