I was thinking about the Founders rather than the Puritans. But then, the Puritans left because no one liked them anymore (for good reason).

I'll bet she eats her own meals before she feeds her animals. Sinner.

Way to ignore the fact that England has (and had) a state religion whose laws were heavily influenced by Moses yet we broke up with them for that reason (among others).

Um, what? He's a right wing blogger, not a mommy blogger.

Dave, if your story is from Lubbock, I have eaten there. Amy, you have probably waited on me at the Pelican Club and there is absolutely someone we knew in common. Probably more than one since one of those people has a last name that starts with "G." (How Jezebel!)

He also circulated that "broken eye socket" picture of "Darren Wilson." A real charmer.

Twitter allows him to do this, too. He gets banned, they let him back. Over and over and over.

I saw them on the first tour after he died. James was also her former lover, which makes it even more poignant.

I'm an Old and I remember hearing "Smells Like Teen Spirit" the first time and flipping out. Then I heard the rest of "Nevermind" and flipped out more.

I had to look that up. I just want to be certain that my ancestors painted themselves blue and sacrificed humans in burning wicker cages and bogs.

Let's sing a carol!

You should have called him an invading French bastard, pointed to the Angles and Saxons in your own family line (lying, if necessary), then shot him in the eye with an arrow while screaming, "Revenge! Revenge!"

Exactly. "Why didn't anyone say anything?" Some did, but the overall silence when a powerful person is doing Very Bad Things is amazing. Savile having actual living quarters in and keys to hospitals where he abused patients? Christ. And people think this Cosby thing is horrific.

It's simple. When you get your beer, ask the bartender if there's room for a shot of whisky. When she says yes, ask her to fill it with beer.

The cool place to go to school back in the day was TASIS, The American School In Switzerland. But you had to go to the Lugano campus or you were not cool. (sigh) My high school boyfriend graduated from there. We met in Houston, of course.

You know how this works though. Prominent, right-leaning white people are going to have to stand up, eventually, or there will be no following. Conservatives need to be part of the mainstream or they are uncomfortable. No snark, just reality.

I was at the now-defunct Kampong Chantek campus. SAS (Singapore American School for anyone who is reading) actually does a tour through the US every year. I've missed the last couple but really want to go next year.

It's not bad at all, honestly. One hell of a story.

I had resorted to links forwarded by kind Tweeple. I am happy.

I know! They should know their proper place, right?
