If it wasn't for that guy getting maced and blaming the commies - twice - that would have been the most depressing video ever made.

While we're at it, let's rebuild that historic wall in Berlin.

When I was a little kid living in Mississippi, Robert E. Lee was my hero. I had a kiddie lit biography that I read over and over, and I had a Confederate cap that I would wear when I re-enacted Civil War battle scenes alone in my backyard (I was a bit of a dork). I guess I knew about slavery, because everybody had…

Those kinds of decisions are easy to make when you're pretty sure you won't be the one to die horribly in a field somewhere.

I just did the emotional equivalent of a facepalm. I'm just so fucking tired. Not sure why this non-ranking dickpile is the last straw, but there it is.

It makes me sad that they think this is the first unconscionable thing he has done.

The short guy with the Hitler combover? Or the taller guy whose chin enters a room a full three minutes before the rest of his head?

Fake news. If his district had fine people, he wouldn't have been elected.

I don't think I can.

I had a root canal yesterday, and while I was numb with my mouth propped open, my dentist started talking about how much he hated Rogue One. "My wife and I thought it was so boring, we turned it off 3/4 of the way through." "They spent way too much time showing that blind Asian guy beating people up." I was silently…

Basket of deplorables = understatement of the year

"Come on, guys! It's like ninja with a 'k'! People will love it!"

Lots of Donnie Yen movies:
Kung-Fu Killer - awesome
Dragon (Wu Xia) - pretty good
Iceman - terrible
The Monkey King - terrible
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny - decent

Bill Hicks was a South Park Libertarian before both South Park and libertarianism.

I suppose I agree with this. There are racists, and there are people with economic anxiety, and the overlap between these groups is so strong that correlation between the issues is often mistaken for causation. Relieving economic anxiety doesn't solve racism, but it does seem to make it quieter.

I read an article in the WaPo today about the science of how people end up becoming prejudiced, and one of the causes that it mentioned was subtle cues of body language, power dynamics, and language use in television and film. Experiments show that people have more prejudicial thoughts after watching programs than…

I'm thinking that the minimum requirements for good-personhood have to include rethinking your positions when Nazis agree with you.

I've never heard it put this way before, but it does sorta exist. Just like there are groups on the right that have extreme views that aren't explicitly supported by the mainstream party, so there are on the left. I would consider Earth First! or Sea Shepherd, environmental groups that advocate property damage, to be…

I just saw The Monkey King and I beg to differ.

He'd walk her everyday into a shady place…
