OT: I bought Sara Benincasa's new book, which you may have seen advertised on the FP because you can't avoid it, and it's really very good. Only $1.99 right now for the Kindle edition (or free if you have a bunch of Amazon credits). Highly recommend.
Such butthurt from the conservatives… "Not sure the best reaction from the left is a burst of online bigoted stereotypes about rural white people". "It's absolutely disgusting that the left is calling the Oregon men "#YallQaeda". You can't compare these men to murderous terrorists". Yeah, tell that to all the black people who get labelled as thugs for having the wrong skin color or all the people making use of government assistance who get called moochers and takers. Tell that to the Mexicans who get called drug dealers and rapists or the Muslims here who are treated as terrorists. Poor little cry babbies, I guess it only counts when it's your conservative ox being gored, amirite?
"What if the Oregon Protesters were Black or Muslim?" Oh NYT, do you have to ask?
You know the answer is they'd already be dead. And by the way, wouldn't the people you carefully label "anti-government protesters" be more accurately described as revolutionaries or anarchists?
That said, "LaVoy Finicum," called out in the caption, has the coolest name evah.
I do love these guys for inspiring Burneko to write this today:
Imagine the grade of sad, stunted halfwit who decks himself out in paramilitary regalia and lethal weaponry to stage a sit-in at what is for all intents and purposes a remote wildlife park’s visitor’s center. Okay, men, when I kick in the door, you three move on the 74-year-old v0lunteer who shows the birdwatching slideshow to elementary-school field trip groups; if she makes a move, be ready to take her down with force. The rest of us will establish a defensive position behind the cardboard beaver. If bigger goobers than these exist on our planet, you identify them by the bruises from where they poked themselves in the eye while trying to pick their noses.
Same here. Inspired. He also totally won me over with this:
A tragicomic thing happens, though, when a handful of slow-witted white dorks in their best Sunday camo decide to take their guns and their entitled, useless, cosmically unserious day-to-day dull-eyed skulking to a minor government shack and pretend it’s some sort of insurrection against tyranny.
If I were still laboring under any illusion that the mainstream media in the US was in any way "liberal", the Grey Lady's prissy, oh-so-neutral language-torturing about this "debate" would take care of that.
"No, you're the real racist for pointing out my racism" It just kills me the way these goobers clutch their pearls after their eight year long loud, vulgar temper tantrum.
I actually haven't gotten around to trying. My aunt & uncle swear there's a couple of decent places up here, but since I live up here alone, have the world's tiniest refrigerator, plus get down to Jersey at least once a month, I just save my pizza cravings for when I'm back in Pizza Country Someday, when I have a larger fridge for leftovers, I will look into it.
YouTube clip for those unfamiliar with Jasiri X' poignant question…

That disgusted me too. Get over yourselves, RWNJs…
I agree that we shouldn't call them Y'allQaeda. We should call them Vanilla Isis.

such nice kid gloves for the looney tunes white folks
OPRAH!
Let me know if you do read it so we can speculate on which school "Lindbergh High" is supposed to be. Hopewell? Montgomery?

Blue is…

OT….was sort of beginning a compare / contrast Rinse Pubis / Wasserman. In the sense that both are generating WTF? at an amazing level.
lol, I randomly inserted you into the comment
App for that?
