It suggests a certain amount of progress that this particular false claim against POC in Chicago didn’t result in, you know, forced confessions via cattle prod. Hooray?

Whenever my grandmother would meet a POC with an Irish last name, she would lean forward and whisper “they’re stealing our names.” An understanding on history was not her strong suit.

What the article makes clear is that Pence has always believed that he’s taking The Lord’s Dictation. How do you reason with someone who thinks they are taking direction direct from God?

I fully understand. As an educated white guy who has worked in an around a blue collar profession his entire career, the way that racism and white supremacy poison the desperatley needed conversation about economic and social justice is staggering.

In a word? No. Absent education or other cultural currency, they will cling to the currency of whiteness until the ship sinks below the waves.

We need a Kickstarter to buy the thing right. Now.

“British colonists promoted a dual agenda: one involved reducing poverty back in England, and the other called for transporting the idle and unproductive to the New World.”

An African-American woman selling weed that close to Jeff Sessions better have her lawyers on speed dial.

Becoming Storm is the only way to go post nuclear-holocaust. She who controls the weather will (presumably) be able to stop the near-constant fire-tornadoes ravaging the mid-west, and help establish a new world. Plus, you could electrocute idiots who don’t comply.

“Leaving that aside, I agree that it’s unfair to prop up an uber-rich family in a world full of deprivation. But I’m skeptical that England’s attractions could still draw the same numbers of tourists without the physical monarchs in place.”

It’s based on my love of the eponymous gin, but I could see where there could be confusion.

Though her dazzling smile almost made me go weak on this position, I want to remind everyone that the British Royal family is a succubus, draining their life force from the tax payers. Ham No said it best:

“More importantly, it could be argued that Atlanta’s black political elite has been betraying working-class black voters in the city for quite some time after years of gentrification and questionable policy decisions.”

Not true! I’ve heard it at least once! It sounded more threatening, like “Welcome back, motherfucker” but I still . . . hang on . . .

Our favorite game was watching new people fill up on the pasta, only to realize that they had walked into a bear trap when the turkey and all traditional accompaniments made their appearance.

Interesting overlap from the Italian-American side of things; all of your parents cousins are “Aunt” or “Uncle,” as are the strange folk who are vaguely related in some undefinable way, who show up once a year.

At the risk of drawing boos from the assembled, I think “When the Levees Broke” is his greatest work. I will now duck the tomatoes.

Tillerson made the statement that this represented an “opportunity” for the people, which I understood to mean getting rid of ZANU-PF entirely. I agreed with the subtext.

It takes a lot for me to agree with Tillerson, but I’m afraid that life under the Crocodile isn’t going to be any better than Mugabe.
