    (by the way, someone on Twitter commented that it actually took three people to write this.

    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Your tax dollars at work.

      Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

        I often listen to NPR on my drive in to work. A good 50% of their features sound as though they were put together as an undergraduate project.

        I was only joking

            Me: I’d like popular things like clean air, better public schools, and more affordable healthcare.

            American left: Best we can do is yell at Joe Rogan and call you emoji-racist.

            Only non-witches get due process.

              Yeah, they're pretty much lost in the bullshit. There really isn't a proper American left.

                How about All-Gender Bathrooms? I am visiting a music department today that made their two large upstairs bathrooms “All-Gender” and the two downstairs bathrooms the traditional bathrooms. The results? Two students use the all-gender and all the rest now only use the 2 bathrooms downstairs, creating a backup. At least according to the students I was standing in line waiting for the men’s room…

                  Back to the emoji thing, does NPR really want me to use this in lily-white?
