Washington had ivory teeth and was apparently Jim Carrey in Liar Liar.

Franklin had hoes in different colonial codes.

I mean, is it even a contest?

Posts like these are what make you my favourite snob in the WR, by far, brah.
Pleb in me recognise the utterly transparent elitist bs (i trust you do recognise the inception-like thick irony of self-overevaluated intellectual disdain for others' intellectual self-overvaluation, so i won't address that part of the "content" - out of my league and, frankly, interest), but your language is just superb and makes your posts so damn enjoyable to read.

Lol, realise just turned this into the most backhanded- compliment, when really was meant as an appreciation of your sprache. Cheers.

Hahaha well I like your comments too! Actually I don't fully agree with the book yet, I'll explain why after I get further into it just to make sure my concerns aren't addressed further on.

2 Live Crew swept over America like The Mooch back in the late 80s. It was pretty great, they freaked out the entire country for a few months.

Tea Party is 10 years old now and its constituents and faux-ideology are stronger now than ever

You think that? I hardly ever, ever hear of them anymore

I do think you're correct about it basically being a #resist movement against the Obama era Dems

 

[Andy Capp]

Steve Doocy man on the street lol. More people should handle FOX the same way.

Awesome. If it were me, I would be even less polite, but I would certainly be willing to comment.

I heard of the band, just not that song.

If this weren't coming from the POTUS it would be LOL-worthy:

Yeah, they were screeching about the deficit after it briefly rose in the aftermath of the Great Recession. Republicans stopped caring about deficits in November 2016.

Yes, absolutely. Their name isn't relevant since Obama is no longer in office, but their (non-)ideology (of self-definition by opposition, rampant conspiracy theories, supply-side economic incoherency, and delusions of victimhood) is now the dominant one in American politics. Hell, we fucking elected the goddamn face of the birther movement. The fiscal conservatives are completely gone, but have been for some time. The institutionalists are gone. The self-proclaimed conservative moderates are gone. The neoconservatives have been relegated to behind the curtain. Now it's just Tea Party and paleconservatives running the show.

The delusions of victimhood and rampant CTs weren't unique to them (that's the glue that unites the whole right-wing movement in American politics), but fiscal conservatism was their defining issue. That is, as you say, completely dead on the right now.

I very much disagree that fiscal conservatism (or any coherent definition thereof) was their defining issue. The seeds of the movement were budget doomsdayers in the mold of Ron Paul, but that was never definitive of the movement: right away it became blatantly apparent that spending/borrowing had nothing to do with the movement and that it was all about identity politics, CT's, and self-interested "muh taxes" people who insisted that they (old white people living off of a bloated pension from a job they got with a high school degree) were subsidizing lazy blacks with their taxes.

The audience missed the best line: "You don't need to work blue. You'll never play the big rooms with that crap- ask Redd Foxx."

You may as well be telling me that you know Lynyrd Skynyrd, but not Freebird!

For real, dogs, is there any man in the history of the world more beautiful, inside and out, than Ernesto "Che" Guevara?

"One has to grow hard but without ever losing tenderness."

"The life of a single human being is worth a million times more than all the property of the richest man on earth."

Be serious now, @NoDak, and tell me that Comrade Che wasn't a delicious piece of man candy.

Bill Maher also comes from a Catholic/Jewish household IIRC. I wonder if its a common mix.

I recently learned that, of the attorneys on my floor, one is a Jewish man married to a black woman, one has parents matching that description, a third has Jewish and Catholic grandparents on both sides, and two more are secular Jews. I'll also be missing a Jewish/Muslim (Pakistani) wedding soon.

I think its more that american Jews are likely to intermarry with most groups besides wasps.
