I’m very biased against sexual assault, and I’ve never been a victim or a perpetrator of it. Is WaPo saying they only want reporters who are ambivalent about sexual assault to cover it? What kinds of psychopaths are they grooming over there?

And nobody should be allowed to cover economic news, since they're all affected by the economy. Sports should also only be covered by people who know nothing about it.

Not to mention that boomers were probably also the last “mass culture” generation. They watched the same tv shows, listened to the same chart music, read the same newspapers. This created a homogeneity of perspective that further leveraged the power of their sheer numbers.

I agree that the boomers are, as a generation, awful and have done appalling damage.

If you're a Formula 1 fan, you can walk the street circuit. It's fascinating and terrifying to think how the drivers can go so fast on such tiny streets.

Nah, boomers just learned that communism was “bad” and that’s all they needed to know. Not for them the nuances of Marxist theory or the specific deficiencies of Maoism or Stalinism. It was all just “evil” and “the work of Satan.” God’s a capitalist, dontcha know?

“...because no childhood heroes have ever turned out to be monsters at all...”

Well, I’m convinced!!

Space exploration is basically rounding error in the US budget; less than half of one percent. Yet it’s constantly positioned as the poster child for why we can’t have other nice things, like a decent social safety net.

“I couldn’t even tell you that he looked all that Black.” Well, that explains why Mr. Altheimer isn’t dead: no point wasting ammo until you’re sure, right Cletus?

Because there sure as hell isn't any fruit in them.

And if someone does bother to “educate” them, they usually respond with a stack of whatabouts. The invitation to educate is just a ploy to tie the other person up in knots and “win.”

I had a boss with similar habits. He’d make his PA print out all his emails; then he’d dictate his responses and have the PA type and send them. That was the extent of his interaction with technology.

These are just the early stages of the process that will ultimately sweep Dwyane Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho into the White House.

No, see, the genius of it is he’s going to *act* like a competent governor. He’ll go full method and embody the role completely. He’ll stay in character for the entire term. It’ll be his crowning achievement as an actor!

Because a large segment of the (white) population would rather starve to death than let an “undeserving” (black) person get a dime they’re “not entitled” to.

Point taken, but even that’s a tenuous claim, given the direct line was broken several times over the centuries, when various Eurotrash relatives were plonked on the throne.

Sorry, that should have been WWI. Got autocorrected.

I took Harry’s refusal to name names as a warning to his family. He seemed to be saying “I’ll keep my mouth shut, but you’d better cut the shit, or something might slip out.”

“Why not counter with an even bigger interview admitting all this and pretending to have learned something and marking a new era for the British monarchy?”
