They mark their territory by entering any space and metaphorically pissing in the corners?

I suspect the number of parodies on various sketch comedy shows may have inflated the number in our minds.

It won’t matter. Estimates are that without between 40% and 50% of the Hispanic vote, a GOP candidate likely can’t win the White House. The only Republican that has a shot at drastically improving their share of the Hispanic vote is Rubio, and even that’s iffy. Bush’s support, while among the best on the Republican…

That’s a fantastic story. And I’d read the Mitchell book YEARS ago - so thanks for the reminder about it. I need to go dig my copy up from wherever it’s been stashed and reread it.

Mugshots! Erika on the left, Chanese on the right.

May his days and nights be filled with burning disgestive agony from food-borne illnesses caused by underpaid food sevice employees with no paid sick leave handling his food.

A lot of Texas relies on volunteer firefighters, and the budgets and equipment apparently really suck. I remember the state budget cuts got a fair amount of press coverage a few years back when there were some large fires in the Austin area.

As a side note, it’s been increasingly difficult for volunteer fire…

She’ll come out ahead through donations. That’s the nutty part.

Also, not all jpgs are created equal - some software does a better job than others, and there’s no agreement on what “quality level” means from app to app. If the initial compression added artifacts, Facebook is likely to exacerbate them - that instantly gets you into the equivalent of downloaded & re-uploaded…

Yeah, but it also seems like it’s an attempt to make this seem more like a cultural partnership instead of denying the essential humanity of an entire group of people, an attitude which still finds expression today. And the part on the Klan - that’s ridiculously thin. The Klan was essentially a parallel power…

The tone of that message makes her sound like the villain from a fantasy story. You know, someone who seems pleasant, and appears well-meaning to most, but there’s a hint of menace. It always turns out that the character is some sort of timeless evil from a bygone age, either disguising itself with a pleasing…

Chihuahuaschnitzel is a niche player in most markets, and doesn’t have the marketing budget to sponsor events like Wienerschnitzel does.

Yup. Yet it’s gun-control supporters who are accused of being “too emotional” when it’s brought up after a tragedy. But gun-control opponents fly off the handle at any suggestion of reforms. Being angry, abusive and threatening doesn’t count as “emotional”, apparently.

Yeah, that was my thought - whatever else happened in her life, it either never measured up to her teenage memories, or her life was hard enough that those months really were her happiest. That’s incredibly sad. She may no longer have family around for any number of reasons, and she’s latched onto this one.

Huh? This isn’t actually new, it’s pretty much the same feature - and same report - that was available in Windows 8.x. If you marked an account as a kid’s account when you created it and went through the prompts, you’d get an email.

This may be a surprise to parents who had Windows 7, or hadn’t marked an account as…

I’ve actually been sent to do bra shopping for my wife three times in our 21-year relationship. Once after her breast reduction surgery, once after our first kid was born (she needed something without an underwire), and once when I was going to be near an outlet store having a sale and she needed bras.

Please note, that’s just a guess! But it’s the only rational reason I can think of.

This may be tactical. If I’m not mistaken, if the court rules that the woman who died had no share of the responsibility, they can bring that up as a fact when they sue Jenner later. If the court rules that she had a small share of the blame, they can try to assign the remainder to Jenner. It also makes it harder for…

Can’t they jail her for contempt at some point, and then she’s absent?

Pretty self-rightous for someone who’s getting sued for financial fraud. And one by one, other parties named are settling. His day is going to come. If we still bothered to prosecute white collar crime in this country with any enthusiasm, there’s a decent chance he’d be in jeopardy.
