That reminds me of this oldie, but goody: http://www.satirewire.com/content1/?p=982

It could be added that FALN also shot up the floor of the House of Representatives, wounding five representatives (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1954_United_States_Capitol_shooting_incident), and attempted to assassinate Harry S. Truman (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attempted_assassination_of_Harry_S._Truman).

I think the Native Americans would have noticed the blankets being loaded with cholera just from the smell alone.

Except that a tremendous amount of the square footage owned by the Catholic Church is not in churches — it’s in schools, hospitals, universities, etc. (And that’s setting aside that most church buildings would make lousy residences without absolutely massive renovations to the point that it probably would have been…

What the fuck does “the holographic nature of the world” even fucking mean?

The headline and story are misleading — this is only an “all-time low” since the enactment of the Refugee Act of 1980 . Under the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965 the cap on refugees was a mere 10,200. (Source: https://books.google.com/books?id=EpOeEETswywC&pg=PA339&lpg=PA339&dq=The+1965+Immigration+Act+incl…

I’m skeptical of that explanation (or at least that it explains more than part of the instances) because I’ve seen (a) pairs of hanging shoes where the shoes have been painted or otherwise decorated (which seems rather elaborate for a drug dealer) and (b) places where there are numerous pairs of shoes together in a…

I favor a complete repeal of the Jones Act, but I’m practically rolling on the floor laughing right now watching a bunch people who have spent years railing against free trade and in favor of protectionism and increased unionization now shrieking about how protectionism and increased unionization raise the cost of…

I feel pretty confident that the risk of Cuba becoming a US territory at this point is extremely low....

Yes, but Manti Te’o was delivering supplies to you along the way, wasn’t he?

Look, it’s an open question whether white people even have souls, so can it really be disputed that their lives are inherently worth less? [/Kinja approved]

I don’t think the founders foresaw something like that.

Actually, it’s arguably even harder than that — Article V of the Constitution provides that no state’s equal representation in the Senate can be reduced without its permission even by the amendment process. (I say “arguably” because some people theorize that you could get around this by amending Article V itself to…

Wyoming is, in fact, losing population.

The construction of the Senate took place at a time when the American population was more evenly distributed. We now have a situation where tens of millions of people live in densely-populated areas while states like Wyoming or Alaska have extraordinarily sparse populations yet receive the exact same representation in…

Do you really think the cops will stop killing people while he’s in charge?

Not really, because Trump will be gone someday in the next 3.5 to 7.5 years (assuming no resignation/impeachment), whereas the police will still be killing people.

Once you understand that the Man in the Yellow Hat is a metaphor for a remote and uncaring God, it all comes together.

+1 Why does anyone drive around with their doors unlocked?!? And that goes extra super especially for when you know that people are shouting abuse at you.
