Pun Headline of the Day: Race-ist Response to Indy 500

But he is okay with a British champion coming in here and taking our trophies and glory (Lobsterback Dan Wheldon!)? Hasn’t the statue of limitations run out for such hate? I’ll even bet Frei’s dad was pretty forgiving, as that generation was post-War.

Me too! I’m a Vermonter, supported him in 2004 and really loved his 2006 DNC 50 state strategy (which traditional Dems derided; the same Dems that lost to Trump last year). I was cheesed how Obama dismissed him (while Dean was on vacation) after such great leadership. And I was hoping he and that young Minn. rep…

Giving water and carrying you are different. YOU finished. You also planned, expecting the officials to follow through. YOUR medal was earned.

I blame Lighting McQueen.

It will all go well with the saggy tattoos, etc. Young people, bah.

The beauty of the book was Brooks’ modeling after Studs Terkle. It mixed the mechanics of the rise and fall with a host of different personalities.

As long as they are winning, and as long as these white players continue to be key playmakers, it is hard to argue they were chosen for skin color and not talent.

One of my students, just turning 13, was concerned that once puberty kicked in it would be really hard to turn back her body (born male, now female). Their family elected to use hormone suppressants for a year while she made sure. Now, at 15, her body matches how she feels—no mustache or deep voice or anything to…

What happened to freedom of association? For example, you can’t arrest someone with a gang jacket on just because a gang commits a crime.

You mean Bernie? Agreed.

Interesting topic. The comments might be more interesting if your survey also included responses open to men. I had not considered this before, but, looking back, it would explain my first experience and the problems we had.

In defense of Howard Dean, his 50 state strategy is the reason Democrats surprised everyone in 2006. This strategy was directly opposed by the Clinton gang (they wanted to dump money into targeted contests), with Carville knocking him both before and even after he produced the goods. This is the same strategy Obama…
