They say history is written by the winners, and while the South lost, whites have still been the “winners” in the South since Reconstruction.  It makes sense that they would write their history in the light most favorable to themselves and gloss over the negative facts.

I find that if someone says the Civil War was about states’ rights, asking “A state’s right to do what?” usually results in a lot of stammering.

For me, it was dining at Villa Mahana in Bora Bora. It’s a tiny restaurant with some quirky decor run by a Corsican expat chef and his wife. The dishes are heavy on local, fresh ingredients, and I think the only things that didn’t come straight from the island were the beef for the filet course, the gnocchi for the…

No, the fight isn’t over, unfortunately. Trump can nix DACA again, he just has to come up with a better reason (or maybe, any reason). He’ll do it again (with some BS reason added), and it will get back to the Supreme Court, and who knows what they will say then.  The best hope is Trump losing in November.

I’ve been right about Roberts all along, and don’t fear.  Roe v. Wade is safe.

I did.  I never thought Roberts would be as conservative as many feared.

I was being a little bit of a smart ass, true.  But my point is that the slogan is easily distorted by people who want to distort it and not immediately understandable to many people without further explanation. If that doesn’t make it “bad,” it certainly makes it less than ideal.

I also want to try sugar in the espresso maker. I didn’t know such a thing would work. I usually just scoop some brown sugar into my espresso glass and let the hot coffee run onto it, then stir it up.

The internet experience for most people is an echo chamber unless you take active steps to make it not be. If you’re a middle aged or old white person who only has white friends and family and whose news and Facebook feeds are exclusively tailored to old white people, then I think it’s very possible for someone to have…

Lots of people going to be waking up in the morning like, “Holy shit, I don’t even remember buying this pegboard and knick-knacks.  I must have been WASTED!!!!”

Their chicken and dumplings is pretty good.  Kind of bland, I guess, but so satisfyingly fattening.  The dumplings have a great texture.  Also, peanut butter pie.

I think that’s half right. Racist propaganda is designed to be willfully obtuse about it, but the nature of the term/slogan allows that willful obtuseness. And it allows those willfully obtuse racists to easily distort the message or meaning to confuse people who maybe wouldn’t be willfully obtuse about it if it was…

I’m white, I didn’t protest and didn’t even think about it, so maybe my opinion isn’t worth shit. That said, I’d say accept all the help you can get, regardless of the intention behind it. But really, showing up for a protest isn’t what’s important. It’s showing up at the ballot box, and making the right decision. Not…

I’ve witnessed several steer castrations, one of which was followed by a testicle fight (picture a water balloon fight, except with testicles). 

All Lives Matter doesn’t convey the point as directly as Black Lives Matter, but it’s also impossible to construe in a negative way.... which is why BLM opponents use it. Cause who can argue with “All Lives Matter”? Although come to think of it, they would probably respond with something like wHaT aBoUt UnBoRn LiVeS?

Biden probably *should* have a black woman as his running mate. He won’t, though. In fact, I think there will be another black President before there is a black Vice-President. The reason being: With a black VP, the Democrats will not be able to get away with choosing anyone other than the VP as their next nominee. It…

Exactly. If you have to explain your slogan to people, it’s a shitty slogan. Should have picked Black Lives Matter Too, or, fuck, ALL LIVES MATTER.

He was. Philando Castile was trying to grab his wallet, and a lot of NRA types’ reactions were “shoulda kept his hands on the steering wheel!”

How to cook a murder hornet: With a flamethrower, preferably from at least 30 feet away. Die! Die! You needle-assed fuckfaces!

Not meat < Meat.  It is known.
