Yeah I associate it with pulling out a sack lunch at school packed with stuff we got at a local food bank. It would all look really cool but then you’d see that most of the sweet snacks were expired enough that it came through in the taste or they were off brand knockoffs that wound up in a food bank because they…

In a lot of ways, while he’s every bit as capable as Clarke and Bellamy at “Doing the Hard Things Necessary For the Group To Survive”, he does it while still having a conscience that eats at him, while putting on a face of not caring.

I mean, it does fit within the context of the article to include a Clinton gaffe, but Katherine couldn’t even be bothered to pick something that was actually a gaffe. I mean, don’t they have interns to help them do some Googling for the 3-4 minutes it would take to find a real one?

Mitt Romney’s entire presidential campaign.

“I was just trying to address the rudeness,” Whitman added, apparently refusing the irony of addressing rudeness while calling someone not only a name but a fucking slur.

As I recall it the black lady was the only one who survived in that movie, and the Predator ended up giving her a tattoo out of mutual respect before leaving.
