The story itself isn’t that great. Jenna shoved my wife out of the way at an event and my wife was ready to throw down.

Well, we could’ve elected the equally blue-collar working class female from middle America with no links to the economic elite. Oh...

Good thing we just elected a blue-collar working class man from middle America with no links to the economic elite to fight for the rights and jobs of the working class man. Oh wait a minute...

Then goddamnit; something needs to be done about this outrage!

It’s not just Nazi propaganda, it’s an American mentality. Look at the Civil War, the vast majority of Southerners did not own slaves. However, those same non-slave owners gave their lives because they figured one day they too would be rich enough to own slaves.

What’s the income cutoff to be in the top 1 percent? I recently changed jobs and now make much more money than I used to and I need to know if I should be outraged at this or if other people just need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

One of the funnier ones I’ve read. Lost it at “Don’t pull up real close to the gas pumps like your mother does.”

You’ve taken quite a few blows to the head, haven’t you?

How can you have such harsh views, but be too pussy to say FUCK? Right, you’re a good Christian.

Is it equally right to assume anyone who dies by suicide was mentally ill? I do know that the APA holds that position. But in Europe (the Netherlands) they are considering allowing euthanasia for people who just feel hopeless.

That’s good info, thanks for the clarification.

The language around suicide has changed, in large part as an effort to remove the attendant shame and guilt associated with the former phrasing. Suicide attempts used to be illegal, and saying someone “committed” suicide carries with it the connotation of criminal activity (i.e., “committed murder”). Suicide survivors…

This is an extremely dumb comment. Just dumb as fuck.

This is the society we keep opting for. The society we keep promoting through our choice of elected officials.

He had 131 yards with Josh McCown throwing to him. In a Browns uniform. I dunno he seems ok?

Connecting to Prodigy (Prodigy!) with a 14k modem, on our x386 beast with a huge red power switch on the side and monochrome monitor, and browsing the Sam Goody online music store, where you could actually purchase tapes and CDs that would be shipped to your house.

I was a teen from 1980 to 1986. Towards the end of that time we had Compuserve and maybe a little AOL. When I upgraded from my 300kb modem to a 1200kb model, I was really smokin’.

Agreed. The irony is palpable: using the word “redneck” to describe the people Jost is talking about demonstrates his point exactly. Until the Dems can figure out how to engage the demographic that that slur refers to instead of continue to degrade it, we’re well and thoroughly screwed.

There was an unfunny sketch on SNL? Now I’ve seen everything!
