Hey, crazy as Michigan is, if we're going to start giving away states, I don't think we're the first place to go. Like, 6th or 7th, tops.

Yes, hard as it is to believe, the wage gap from white men is even worse for Latinas than for black women. But y'know, this isn't a misery competition. WOC in general are a tokenized if not invisible populace in America.

Jewish Hook-nosed Merchant Alien.

Latinas too. :(

But she couldn't make her think.

I love DRD 1812.

Did you say "fart-sicle?"

Well, it's racist to write a thinly-veiled diatribe against race-mixing as creating a new species of horror. It's also racist to include an animal named "N****r Man" in one of your stories.

That is totally where my mind went, too. Ah the joys of being old: I don't know who the kids are listening to these days, but I do know the fictitious creations of a racist, early 20th century author.

My two don't misses: Go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. And go to Chinatown, which is an experience you won't get outside of the larger cities of an ethnic enclave. Little Italy's right there too, but Chinatown's eating it. Speaking of eating, grab a bo lo bao in Chinatown (pineapple buns, because they look…

Morally, I can't argue with that.

Michigan's weird. We're like a bi-polar state, largely through gerrymandering, but also stupidity.

Just so's ya know, Wicker's from Mississippi (MS). When I read this, I was like "holy shit! We elected a Republican to the Senate? Did something happen to Stabenow?"

I am absolutely hopeful that none of the people shot at, Congressmen, police, or civilians, were seriously hurt.

That IS a fun fact. Of course, when Whedon's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. had a character named "Agent RICE" and wound up casting it with an Asian actress, they quickly realized that they'd have to rename the hell out of that character. Be flexible and aware of optics, is what I'm sayin'
