Why should the Brits police their own language just because some ignorant Americans get their knickers in a knot?  Oh wait, should I not say "knickers" too?  

Any legal eagles out there know if corporations can be sued for stuff like this? I’m sure it would be a stretch in a state that allows this. But there are 44 other states that don’t allow it but where pharmacists try to pull these stunts anyway. At least there ought to be a social media outcry and tons of public…

It does matter either way because “niggard” is a completely unrelated word with a different meaning and etymology. Think of it as akin to a homophone or a false cognate.  

Separation from the facts.  Gosh, that's clever. I bet she sits around like a malevolent Mr Collins and practices pithy phrases before she appears in company. 

It would be nice for the President and Ed Dept to show leadership on this, but ultimately this has nothing to do with them. This is a function of American insistence on having local and state control of education. Your local commissioners, school board and superintendent are the ones to blame because they are the ones…

Antoni needs to get himself the Queer Eye treatment stat! That pic makes him look like Andrew Scott on heroin. Also, that statement screams “I can’t cook.” Pork belly and cheese, huh? Let’s see you cut biscuits or make a Dobos torte. Grapefruit and avocado ain’t gonna cut it.

Adam Cartwright’s living room - pshaw! How about Adam Cartwright’s bedroom?

Well, work does make you free. At least that’s what I read somewhere. Poland, maybe? I forget. Besides, the Bible clearly states, “you don’t work, you don’t eat.” (2 Thessalonians 3:10)

I’ll see your Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III and raise you a Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside - straight from Peckerwood, GA.

The “they” she was referring to is not Bobcats specifically but felidae in general. They usually latch onto the throat and shake vigorously to break it (so they can carry the prey away quickly to protect it from the competition) or, with larger prey, to inflict enough damage that the prey is immobilized. It doesn’t…

Sorry, but I don’t get what you are saying. Those would all be different vaccines so it wouldn’t matter how many shots there are. Childhood vaccination happens on a schedule, either regular or accelerated if you start later or something. But there is always a minimum time period between doses of the same vaccine, and…

No, because he was only the catalyst. The social, political, religious, racist and economic ideologies underlying his rise permeate our entire society. As a rule Americans do not deal with their problems, look for solutions or engage in long range planning for society. It is always me me me now now now. Always has…

I think it’s a test to see how much they can get away with. That is what everything this administration has done seems to be about, and that is usually the way the more talented wannabe dictators do things. What can I get away with and how can I divert attention?

Ot doesn’t matter if he wins or loses. This country lacks the political will to make the necessary changes to preserve democracy. We won’t even vote. We sure as hell won’t fight. If he wins the Republicans will continue to do their thing while the Democrats twiddle their thumbs. If he loses the Republicans will go…

He referred to them as his “followers” this morning. Although I suspect it was a Twitter reference and not a Jim Jones moment.

Probably not, since the Confederates took great pains to explain that they were the true heirs of the American Revolution and democracy. They were proto-libertarian, slave-owning traitors who had a pretty twisted idea of freedom, but they weren’t going to set up a dictatorship.

My pet theory is that he beat Paul with one of his own sticks.

I was homeschooled with Abeka history and Bob Jones science in the 80s. These textbooks are an improvement in content, if you can believe it. Freed slaves (in nuclear families, dontcha know) were actually given 40 acres and a mule, and it was their own fault they didn’t make something of themselves. Savonarola was…

It looks like there are at least 2 sets of twins in there, maybe more. It’s hard to tell with the adult sons.

Why are we crucifying the Korean who came up with this and the minion who typed it up? You have to be ridiculously fluent (in both languages and cultural nuances) to be able to write up a menu like that. The folks who could do it are not low enough on the totem pole that they would be involved with the menu. I…
