But as a practical matter, it is hard to think of any society in human history in which a majority population has said that as a consequence of historic wrongs, we are now going to take a big chunk of the nation’s resources over a long period of time to make that right.…

Supposedly, the meat laws over there make everything taste better, but unless you have the flavor of a big mac seared into your memory, you probably won’t know the difference.

I really, REALLY want to see a cop slam a guy in a nice suit and tie down on the hood of a car and tell him to “DON’T FUCKING MOVE!” while cuffing him.

You realize these people all eat together in the same Congressional cafeteria, right? When they’re not being recorded, they’re nice to one another, talking about kids and sports, and regular co-worker stuff.

But will they redraw the electoral district lines out of Republican favor after the next census?

Sorry, did he swear that much in the comics?

All these farts are in one building.  Can’t we, like, spike the breakfast buffet with LSD or something?
