  1. also, i'm barely literate so i haven't read any of those, but i do like seeing lists of suspect books with titles like "Equal Rights" "Geography Club" "Inventions and Inventors" "You Are The Supreme Court Justice" Some things are just too subversive for teen brains.
  2. i feel like it is a triple miss. he established some roots. he didn't sew them. but even if he did sew them, he didn't sew them, he'd sow them. but even if he did sow them, that's not what you do with roots. you do that with seeds.
  3. we also literally just had a president (not son of president) that paid for hookers while married, and they worshipped him.
  4. i thumb through the Herman Cain awards and you see tons of images of Sam Elliot giving out wise cowboy wisdom. I wonder what he thinks about his image being used to commit folksy murder. It would suck if some role i had was co opted like that
  5. this is an interesting point. what exactly did we think we were proving? would the french that were protesting us refuse to call every fat person they saw 'american'?
  6. my hypothesis: you can't get a lot of organic hate for joe biden, because he is as milquetoast as possible. so you have to turn it into a game. start with it being a symbol of being on a team. if you are on our team, you know you are supposed to chant together. the organizers of the chant love that it happens to be chanting an emotion they need for their party to win, that they cannot generate naturally. then it gets supercharged through this transformation: now we are speaking in code! if you are part of the group, you definitely speak in code. Now super duper charged because it is fun to sneak the code into places the original message would not be allowed. You get to give winks to others that recognize the code, etc. All this in service of an emotion no one genuinely feels.
  7. LA dude that talks about movies all the time and his time working with GGW and is filling this thread with discussions of how movies are made is probably a teacher
  8. After reading this thread I wish Baldwin would have pointed the gun at me.
  9. Not me. A parachute not opening. That's a way to die. Getting your head caught in the gears of a combine. Getting you nuts bit off by a laplander. That's how I want to go.
  10. imagine founding a country in the age of enlightenment and watching the last 5 years
  11. imma guess this poll has a 3% MOE
  12. Tangent: I posit the world would be a lot better if we could have stifled our laughter when we heard Harriet miers
  13. now you're in all the papers
  14. It’s uncool to opine this, but you got to fight these fights. I read Hunting Leroux the other day and it really made me consider the bad things, like nation-state level bad things, are financed by the trade. We won’t ever *win* the war, but cutting into their margins matters.
  15. you cut those men LOOSE!
  16. yeah, that's what i'm worried about too. oh. it's because i'm an idiot and don't really know anything. this is a good board with folks with a lot of info.
  17. the scary not scary part harkened back to his GHWB
  18. the message board aspect of right wing media stuff is just inherently a bad business plan. their entire existing is based around confrontation. but the only people that sign up for those things are fellow nutjobs. they are failing to provide the key part of the equation.
  19. this is only informed by the movies, but I feel like situations like this there are very few direct statements and promises made. Everything is innuendo and suggestion. ”don’t worry about it. We’ve got your back. We’ve got a lot of tools at our disposal and you’ll be beneficiary number one. we will be right behind you.”
  20. I thought for certain your response would be ‘Esso’
