Mmmm....

FWIW - I misread the pronoun. That should be “he knew what he was doing.” I apologize for the error.

EXACTLY! Like the lawyer for the man who shot up the Jewish Temple. He is claiming that his client should not be charged with a hate crime because he is mentally ill. Well, it was not just some random group of people he shot. The girl with Tourettes is not just shouting any term at any group of people.

I am not buying that “I am Chinese so was unfamiliar with racism” crap. I do not know why Huang thought that garbage would fly. She is a student of fashion in America. I imagine she has a cell phone and internet access. You have to be somewhat cosmopolitan to be a fashion designer, certainly the ones that get their…

The problem, though, is that this is an arms race in which the robocallers have the advantage. I can block numbers all day, but robocallers with spoof numbers, buy new numbers, change numbers - anything to get around the call blocking. My android phone will sometimes show a number as a “likely scam,” but that is what…

Yep - I realized this years ago when I asked a caller with a heavy accent (south Asian it sounded like) to put my on their do not call list. He just laughed.

So she is still on TV, huh? OK.

[Googles J car] No way, I had that as a rechargeable Hot Wheel. I remember that boxy back end. 

She probably though Rush was a commercial for Ferraris...

No need to make a looks comment - as someone who initially enjoyed Joan’s columns only to find her increasingly insufferable, there is plenty about her writing to criticize.

We all have our areas of interest. It can be difficult talking car racing with some folks, because they will mention something and you assume they are as big a fan as you and you suddenly find yourself excited that the Alfa you are looking at at a vintage race was driven by Jacki Ickx and all the poor fellow next to…

Curious - do they touch on his NASCAR experience at all?

“Healthy economy” generally means the rich people are doing well. “Poor economy” means you have to put off the private jet upgrade.

Stop feeding this troll.  He just wants to argue.

And that summarizes the problem rather succinctly. He wants to be thought of as neutral - i.e. THE NORM. Anything that is not the norm is different. And I will bet he thinks he is not racist. Fuck people like that.

The concerning thing about that law is the “over 40 years” part. Convieniently, this protects white supremacy garbage, but DOES NOT protect most civil rights monuments. I am guessing that is by design (huh, wasn’t it around 1980 that MLK day became a thing?)

IDK - The black seems more appropriate - ie “This is OUR town.”

It’s not that thing now?

Just as useful as Pvt. Bonespurs saying what the Army should have done.

Is kelly just susan collins in drag? I have never seen them together, and they seem to be trying to pull the same crap, just slightly different flavors.
