“With help from the government comes responsibility,” said Assembly Speaker Robin Vos in a news conference prior to debate.

I could plausibly believe the other way around. Maybe grinding releases some oils or aromatics that cause a reaction that the solid peppercorns do not. But peppercorn=bad, ground=good makes no sense in any universe I am familiar with.

Wow. In Brazil (according to a professor of Brazilian history I know) people do actually use versions of coffee to describe skin color. But I’ve never seen it suggested that they actually order their coffee that way.

Allergic? Look, I don’t like foam on my beer or coffee, but allergic? Some people are just a little too damn precious.

If you think David Brooks is “in touch” just because he hangs out with rich important people and is well connected, well that kind of answers the question.

Yeah, but point being I doubt she was referencing the plantation.

Well, it is also the name of the wealthiest neighborhood in town. I’m going to guess that was the actual reference

The authoritarian personality, rooted in fear. John Bolton was once memorably described as a “kiss-up, kick-down” kind of guy, which pretty much nails it.

I think we must have gone to high school together. Sorry I missed you at the reunion.

Because some people are deeply lacking in self-awareness.

You might want to put some weatherproofing rubberfoam seal tape around that. It may have come with some in the first place, but you can get it at any hardware store. Besides better insulation, it helps keep the bugs out.

several anonymous men allowed a microbiologist to swab their beards for bacterial testing. A few of the beards contained your standard stuff while others revealed to have the kind found in fecal matter.

You must have missed “Super Secret Boy’s Club No Girls Allowed Law” class. I think it’s a third year elective.

Worth noting that a 10 pm curfew is no big deal if you work a 9-5. For small businesses who stay open late and low wage workers who work the late or overnight shift, it’s a big financial hit.

Now remember, we learned in New Orleans that when white people do it, it’s called “scavenging.” That’s why you might be confused.

You really are committed to your obtuseness, aren’t you? Absolutely committed to the idea that Ronald Reagan all by his lonesome did in the Soviets. Ok, some basic concepts about history works. There are these things called long-term trends, that develop over decades, centuries, or even longer. Think about how tree…

Now that’s someone I had completely forgotten about. He’s still wearing that get-up? Someone cue up “Glory Days” and play it loud.

Fine, worship at the altar of Ronnie all you want. The Soviet Union collapsed overwhelmingly because of its own internal problems, not because Reagan shook a stick at them

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Uh, yeah, 52 years of policy, and much more importantly, the enormous internal problems of the Soviet Union all had nothing to with it - just Ronnie the Wonder Pooch saying “Boo!” and the Soviets cried for mommy. Read a book ok, preferably one not written by a Fox News contributor.

Ah yes, “weakened the military.” You probably think Ronald Reagan won the Cold War.
