Waiting for the facts in order to report the facts is totally out of fashion these days, n’est ce pas?

Remember Haiti? Not always the case.

Starring Shia LeBoeuf as the badass monkey general. I hear he’s available. (Or would that be human-washing?)

Necessary comment. For everybody, but especially for the USA’s “India? Is that in Africa?” bunch.

That’s the first thing I thought when I read this. That would make for a particularly tangled psychological mess to undo. What is the autism vs. what is the monkey influence?

Winning. So much winning.

I know what they do with frogs, though:

Afraid to ask, but: Do they want those babies as pets or food? Or for some other nefarious purpose?

Look, ma! No cancer! And no annoying crack-picking!! All these swimsuit designers can go pee up a rope, AFAIC.

If they are universally disliked, then that’s not exactly a win, is it?

Such a weird dynamic that happens with domestic…

For a very abbreviated version of the list: A small water pump at REI to purify water, or, if all else fails, iodine tablets will kill any nasties in the water. A gigantic bag of Quinoa, which you can eat off of and replace as needed to keep it fresh. Quinoa is the healthiest grain out there and weighs less than…

Conscience or conscious? Either way it works.

I was talking more about persuasion. YOU and I know what we know, but how do you explain it to the red-staters? I always start with something personal.
