Blue is conservative; white is royalist.

Also I remember that during the 2000 elections one of the major networks (CBS, I think?) used the opposite color scheme.

Eh, while many of the earliest female representatives were Republican, they were from the South and West and represented the populist, progressive wing of the Republican party, which was also largely evangelical. Likewise, remember that the passage of women's suffrage went hand in hand with prohibition, and the action…

That's excellent.

Lovely. Thank you.

I think if it's a lighter beer that's already highly carbonated, it's fine. But if you have something that's a bit more hoppiness to it, it seems to really kill the flavor. Also, I can't think of any of the nerdier beer bars in Portland that serve beer in a cold glass.

god fucking dammit i'm finally able to log in with my alternate account.

Writing, directing and editing is legitimately insane.

Dead on. Mary Sue is not an above-average competent woman. Mary Sue is a character who's fulfills the author's fantasies about himself. Mary Sue's are over the place in fan-fiction (where the term was born), but the archetypal Mary Sues are Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer and Ian Fleming's James Bond. It's ridiculous…

I think missing the actual artwork is ok for ditching Okkervil River albums. That's half of the experience right there.

I didn't watch for the first couple of days but today (Monday) I binged on rugby 7s and indoor volleyball. Two of the women's volleyball matches were instant (minor classics)—Holland's near-upset of the USA (they already pulled off one shocker against China) and a bloodbath between South Korea and Russia that for the…

My late great-uncle joined the navy underaged, and they looked the other way because they needed an experienced swimmer to show all these farm boys how not to drown. He missed the flag raising on Iwo Jima because we was below decks taking his GEDs.

Getting Republicans to stay home on election day is an even better option for Democrats than persuading them to vote for Gary Johnson, because A: doing nothing is an option in all 50 states, voting Libertarian isn't; B: even if they were to vote for Johnson for president, they might still vote GOP downticket.

Wilson suffered his first stroke three years before Lenin did, and died a year after Lenin. Lenin was paralysed on his right side and Wilson on his left.

That's why Tarantino is a genius. He knows he doesn't have the heft for any of that so he just gets Jackson to rant for him.

CeeLo allegedly put ecstasy/Molly in a woman's drink which led to date rape charges, so yeah any psychoactive substance without consent is material for date rape.

better or worse than a freshman dorm during finals week?

The OP's username is the name of a villainous character in Doctor Zhivago, which is a revolutionary pseudonym meaning Shooter. It's especially poignant because Zhivago connotes Life. This is an especially assholish name.

Right on. Like the other famous fictional Hal.
