Religious or not this should be reason enough to not support any candidate.  If they can’t be swayed by logic, evidence or anything they shouldn’t be trusted with the public good.  What a loon.

Tariq still ain’t shit.

Or tip in cash

Texas and NC tend to be super snobbish about it.  KC peeps not so much because the in city styles are so different.  A black owned BBQ joint will be different from a white owned one and both can claim to be cooking within the KC tradition.

I don’t find Q39 that great.  And calling LC’s, arguably the best bbq in KC as the “best of the rest” is super lame.  Obligatory Jones shout out as well.

Did he forget or is he critiquing Obama without being explicit.  Suggesting Obama wasn’t nice enough, chummy enough with them and that’s why this happened.

I highly doubt black people in anywhere, even Philly gives a shit about what cheese the candidate wants.  That’s shit journalists care about for whatever weirdo reason.  Maybe to buttress their own claims of authenticity, idk but it’s really baseless and dumb.

Over at Lawyers Guns and Money they have something called Murc’s Law, created by a frequent poster.  It says that only Democrats have agency and can affect political outcomes.  This post and, potentially, the book being quoted is exactly that.  The Democrats were in the minority full-stop.  Susan Collins is a known…

He’d be the first truly “over it” Bond.  Daniel Craig is almost that except his Bond is a high functioning sociopath but we need a Bond that hates his job and finds the whole thing sort of silly and dumb.

This felt like a Coen Brothers Movie.

He appears to be treating white supremacy as exclusive an ideological position instead of a structural form of oppression. Allow racism to flourish for profit makes you racist because it isn’t about how you feel but how you continue or combat the system. As long as people see racism as a series of attitudes or beliefs…

While having 3 million fewer votes.

That’s not that good of an idea.

Federal Government jobs offer good, stable pay and benefits.  It’s not “taking one for the team”.  

The first season was fun but it ended with all the outcasts being the villains and the punk white kid being the victim of their behavior so... that wasn’t ideal. I liked season 2. If season 1 was action, season 2 is consequence. If season 1 was change, season 2 is where that change is tested.

Prisoners are still used on census data, often swelling the population counts for areas they would otherwise not reside. That increase in population affects funding and representative decisions. That presents a pretty serious problem especially given our racial inequalities in the criminal justice system and the…

I wonder if her mind would be blown if she saw his episodes of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.  Dude’s got some range.

I have a deep and sincere dislike of Chuck Todd.  He isn’t necessarily worse but he certainly embodies the type of journalism that sees this shit as a game.  He’s protected from the consequences of bad politics and policies, so many elite media members are, that he just doesn’t give a shit about facts.  It aids in his…

But isn’t that kinda the point? The political intrigue and backbiting doesn’t actually matter when faced with global climate cha- white walkers. There is a catastrophe that could have been better prepared for but too many people were concerned with things that only matter in the summer, not the winter.  But winter is…

And yet Republicans do that very thing and are in power.  If we want more of a say in the party (as progressives) then we have to have a way to enforce our will.  The centrists have largely failed, their way doesn’t work.
