Over the years those who may or not then want for the rest us to believe in their innocent take upon this at the time. I do not believe that. By the way Carolyn Bryant killed Emmet Till. She did, you know.

My ex-mother-in-law was shocked - SHOCKED - that I didn’t want a wedding shower. For multiple reasons, really, but chief among them was that I felt it was in poor taste to ask people to a) throw me a party (particularly when people were already insisting on throwing me a bachelorette party), and b) to get me gifts…

The article over on NPR (“Tale as Old As Time: The Dark Appeal of ‘Beauty and the Beast’”) summed this trope up in a really interesting way:

I was scared of going to hell when I was kid, but this poor little bastard is going to be anticipating the onset of ALS his whole life . . . nice job, Mom! She should have gone with Stan Musial.

It has been time to bring back the CCC for the last 20 years. Our infastructure is shit, our national parks and monuments are woefully understaffed, internet and cellular phone connectivity in rural areas is fucking terrible, and there’s basically no jobs out there that can help high school graduates not going to…

I think it’s time to bring back the CCC or something like it. I know that government make-work sounds bad, but it can alleviate unemployment and do nice things for the rest of us at the same time.

Yeah I used it with awareness but maybe that went too far.

Let’s not use Fanta in a discussion of contemporary Germany. The history is, um, disturbing (in the way Hugo Boss is).

And this is the dumb as rocks simplistic view of NATO and other military treaties that Trumpkins (and honestly many other people) have. All they see is “Hey we’re covering most of the NATO shit. Let them pay for more of it!!!” and they think Europe is scamming us. But the US is more than happy to basically force…

He thinks it’s a goddamn protection racket. Marshall wept.

Remember when we used to say we were embarrassed that George W Bush was our President....?

Let this be a lesson to white women that they can kiss the asses of racist white men all they want, but the moment they stand up for their womanhood they’ll be left in the cold.

I’m hoping we can keep up this level of disappointment and anger among people for the next 17 months so we can harness it for 2018 midterm elections!

Actually no, the prez said more than nothing, he gave an interview where he said roughly, ‘sometimes it’s actually the people being targeted who are the ones making the threats’ and now this utter piece of shit just gave him and his idiot followers (about 20% of the population) validity.

The Craftsman brand was recently sold to Stanley Black & Decker. With any luck, they’ll re-onshore some tool production or at least go back to sourcing from SK Tool (an Ideal subsidiary) for the Craftsman Professional line. A lot of the stuff in the stores these days is/was manufactured I THINK by Apex, which owns…

I’m having a hard time digesting all the glee at the idea of Sears and Kmart closing. I keep thinking of the people that work there and clearly need their jobs. And when I want to buy major appliances and mattresses I go to Sears. Sure, I can go to other places, but what about all those people who will be…

So two axes to break a twig? Use them like axe-scissors?

My dad’s side of the family were miners- immigrants who couldn’t speak English and couldn’t get a job anywhere else. Even those who learned English were stuck in the mines and most were old and cast off by 30 or 40. It just kills me when people like that man use the coal miners as some indicator of the glory days of…
