Thanks. This is a conversation I have with a friend on the regular.

No snark. Just sympathy and best wishes for all those affected.

Properly fund public education for all citizens. Weaken hateful megachurches who are destroying the separation of church and state. Get money out of politics and hold the dickless politicians who are letting Trump get away with this shit accountable by voting all of them out regardless of party affiliation. Basically,…

Hillary is an arrogant, annoying nerd who won the popular vote but still lost to the orange bag of shit stuffed into a cheap suit. Some of it was her fault, she’s stilted and rigid in public. Some was not - Russia, sexism, anti-Clinton, etc. She did face larger than normal obstacles. And Bernie took longer than he…

My father was part of the original Hurricane Hunters when it was still part of the Navy. I asked him once why he did it and he said it was because he was young and drunk.   

I suppose there’s no point in saying that Jesus was a swarthy Jew who was a total socialist.

God I wish we had Shade Court. I need a verdict. I see the ‘bless your heart’ variety.

Current reality

Women in that income bracket either opt for dignified and classic (stuck in the 1950s), or they end up looking like straight trailer trash/white trash. Overprocessed stringy hair, too tight clothes, loud prints, too much makeup and airing their dirty laundry in public for attention. Both groups reach a point where…

Exactly

I don’t know about that. It’s fairly recent - with the rise of the 60s liberal. The people before that were hard fighting, got lots of stuff done and were tough. The hippies and counterculture figures who wanted to soften politics ended up fucking up the Democratic Party ever since. We need someone to have the…

Very true. I forgot about that movie. That is the region.

Oh dear Christ. I think minorities and their supporters need to create a group much like the Satanic Temple. Every time a government or public entity like a school tries to put up a Ten Commandments monument or whatever, they file paperwork to erect a monument to Baphomet. I say for every Confederate monument, we need…

Yes. The further you go into them, the more isolated you can get. The mountains aren’t very high compared to the Rockies but the forest is very dense. There are people there who never leave. People can be self sufficient and hunt their food and live on very little - generation after generation. If you’ve seen The Andy…

Yep. America is now that nice looking car that was flooded. Parts of it look nice on the outside but the inside is all sorts of fucked up.

There are some incredibly great people in the Ozarks - I don’t live that far from there. However, I don’t understand the culture. It’s a very different world over there.

As bad as the title suggests. Someone pointed a camera at the Ozarks and/or Smoky mountains and decided to air what they recorded. I think it’s exploitative and gross.

Sounds like an amazing lack of faith on Osteen’s part. If the building flooded, his faith should have carried him through. He shouldn’t be worried about PR either. And his faith should have prompted him to open the doors to his church for those in need. What a depraved asshole.

Damn. Now I’m mentally playing Immigrant Song with that scene. It’s already an ear worm of a song...
