Ryan, meanwhile, has thankfully faded from memory over the past few months

So wearing prairie dresses is racist. Wearing styles with an urban/black/latina influence is racist. Wearing cheap clothes sewn by some Thai woman making $0.25 a day is definitely racist. (I actually agree with that last one.)

“Even during her lifetime, Wilder had to apologize for a line in Little House on the Prairie that said Kansas had “no people, only Indians.” More recent editions of the book now read “no settlers, only Indians.””

You guys should consider stepping out of your echo chamber a couple of times a decade to calibrate some of this stuff with, like, actual grown-up society. I’m a lefty/progressive/ally type dude but this IF YOU WEAR THIS POPULAR DRESS STYLE YOU LITERALLY COMMITTED THE MOUNTAIN MEADOWS MASSACRE is not grounded in reason…

With that kind of money, I’d finally have the resources to get my army of robot spiders operational. And then running for President would be kind of a moot point. 

It’s funny that you mention Spike Lee at the end as someone who might have little interest in the genre, since he’s been directing semi-musicals for his entire career. His first movie, She’s Gotta Have It, has one sequence in color and it’s a splashy musical number. His next one, School Daze, has several full-blown…

He should reconsider casting someone else in the lead role. An inexplicably muscle-bound, 70-year old Edgar Allen Poe would work pretty well, I think.

I assume that many blue collar workers were employed to build that yacht

We used to have outdoor skylights on a roof awning that would always get hummingbirds stuck in them. Damn things were too dumb to fly down and see where the actual sun was so they’d just buzz around the plastic domes until they ran out of energy.

Always a pain because then I had to get them with a glove and give em…

And we’re finding out that most people are shitty journalists.

This isn’t the death of traditional journalism. You have more journalism going on now than ever because virtually anyone can do a story. It’s brought great podcasts, blogs, etc.

I can walk and chew gum at the same time sweetheart, just as I can both pay attention to politics and take good care of my own hair.

Hmmm. “Judging women in Washington DC on their appearance and paying as little attention to their words and actions...”

Agreed. Call the authorities if you find a raptor of any kind in your house.

Adam Smith loathed the idea of corporations.

where else do you expect a house wren to go?

The theme song didn’t “forecast” anything, since it was only played during the ending credits.

You guys are going to be so heartbroken the first time she has to compromise to get some legislation passed. It’ll be like finding out Santa is just your parents.

This is what I think of when I hear “boat shoes,” but then again, I am old:

I’m sorry, but this kind of crap is why Trump is president.  You don’t get to gloss over history for it not being woke enough.
