How close are latkes and hash browns? I ask for a friend...

I was thinking poorly fried latkes, stored in a warm oven before serving. But the purple potato maybe means they weren’t poorly fried?

OMG THIS IS PERFECT.

He is clued in - perhaps someone drew him a picture in the newspaper funnies - and realizes they’ve got the goods on him.

A word of caution- turns out drinking oneself to death always takes longer than you’d hope. My POS sperm donor has defied even my most generous estimates on expectancy. Even if Bannon’s gonna go all out, locking himself in the Lincoln bedroom with an army’s worth of stolichnaya, it’ll take about six months for the…

I just had a horrific realization- Chief Bigot is Nixon after a couple decades in an amphetamine bath. Futurama really is prophetic!

The thing that kills me about the “one bad apple” excuse is that the rest of the fucking saying is “spoils the bunch,” because that’s how apple storage works. They are conceding the point that these “bad officers” make all of them bad. Which just underscores your point that yes, they are choosing these behavior…

Pence is going to be deeply implicated in this as well- sure he claims that he “had no knowledge” and isn’t it upsetting that Flynn lied to him! But we know now that other members of the WH knew, like Kushner, and thanks to Kaine we have a solid GB of footage of Pence lying bald-facedly so his word doesn’t mean balls.…

You’re not wrong. Part of the Soviet’s staying power in central and Eastern Europe was having the sense to keep beer cheap.

I have been wondering whether my capacity to be an asshole will count should la migra stop me in an airport asking for papers. Because we Americans really are such entitled, demanding, rude assholes, even sometimes when we’re trying to be nice.

That’s fair. For some people size is likely a thing. To me, the act of reaching into my pants to pull out my power protector hits all the necessary notes.

The phallus=power=weapon=phallus train is irrespective of user; it’s a millenia-old cultural meme. The meme sometimes overlaps with mechanics which contributes to its staying power. So I’m not arguing against there being practical reasons to carry there, but rather I’m addressing the sense of security and power…

Learn something new every day. Still stand by the disturbingly Freudian aspect. Just because training mandates that the katana be held at pelvis height doesn’t make the phallic image less applicable.

It’s really the claim that “he didn’t mean to shoot at the kids, it just went off” that made me wonder whether he’d even bothered to put on the safety before holstering it directly aimed at his junk and femoral.

True. But it was the APD who didn’t arrest him; both depts need hounding.

May he get everything he’s ever wished for.

Every time I find myself thinking about how Freud has been largely discredited, something like this comes up and I’m agog.

Or if the kids had been white. We’ve been working hard to change our social norms and now is the time to raise hell about our desired norms being broken. They need to be told a thousand times over that this shit is UNACCEPTABLE.

It was also down the front of his pants! Could you get more Freudian? Or less gun-safe?
