He's more liberal than ALL of the Catholics in the GOP.

"Pop" is Great Lakes. About 90% of Michiganders and Northern Illinoisans use it, too. Faygo (nothing says "pop" like a Faygo Red Pop) claims that it's got something to do with their early beverages, named for the sound the bubbles make.

Shouldn't be much of a surprise. RatPac is Brett Rather and one of the ten richest people in Australia, James Packer. Dune Entertainment is- surprise!- Steve Mnuchin's production company.

Well, there were the transgendered hookers with hearts of gold on NYPD Blue.

I'm with you. Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-V) is the best track on the album.

He's not a Trump surrogate. He's a target of the lawsuit that claims that he was colluding with the current White House to spread lies about Seth Rich in order to distract the media from all of those ties the current White House has with Russia.

Or, maybe more accurately, a mashup of John le Carre's Karla trilogy and The X-Men. The first book, anyway. it's harder for me to describe Stiletto.

I've enjoyed its far, too.

I got lucky with that. No creepy uncles. I got the uncle with Down Syndrome, instead, who was very funny- intentionally. It was his younger sisters and brother who misled me, along with a few of my 60+ first cousins on that side of the family.

That's what I'm shooting for. ; )

At first I thought that you have got to be kidding me…But then I looked it up.. Thanks.

My son is 27-years old. I've been dealing with what was diagnosed as a terminal cancer for almost 2 years. I celebrated my 52nd birthday on Wednesday.

You seem to conveniently forget that the CSS Alabama launched from Liverpool months before the Trent Affair, or that previous to that, on 8/24/1861 Russel wrote Confederate diplomat William Lowndes Yancey and told him that Great Britain would consider formal recognition if, "the fortune of arms or the more peaceful…

"When an individual once asked him why he was critical of capitalism, given that standards of living are better than ever, Chomsky said that you could say the same thing about slavery, and in fact many slaveowners did at the time. They said slavery was a more moral proposition than working for wages, because they (so…

There's also the difference that, in Greece and Rome, the child of a slave was not born into a state of slavery.

Your timeline is off. The British Empire ended its participation in the slave trade in 1807. It passed the Slavery Abolition Act in 1833, which abolished the institution gradually over seven years.

It's not 80 more years of slavery, more like 50-55. After the alternative WWI, the Confederacy is forced to emancipate its slaves.

Well, two things: First, white supremacism is a rather modern concept, and its origins are linked almost directly to the introduction of African chattel slaves to the Americas. Virginia planters were so worried about the numbers of indentured servants and chattel slaves marrying and having children that they passed…

I should also point out that cotton wasn't king until after the introduction of Whitney's cotton gin in the mid-to-late 1790s. When the Constitution was written, the other labor-intensive crops weren't nearly as profitable as they'd once been, and it appeared that chattel slavery in the US was on its way to a natural…
