You're in Walmart. You see three fat kids munching on Cheetos trailing behind a woman who needs two seats for her ass, and you think people are blaming this situation solely on the food industry or economics?

Are you kidding?

This isn't even rights. It's willful anti-intelligence from stupid people who will drive their and their children's points into their graves, all while blaming the government and thanking God.

Olivia Newton-John doing Dylan's "If Not for You," including a verse Dylan didn't use.

And oh my god, what a doll.

41. For me that's Robbie Basho, among others.

When it comes to female pop singers, Stevie Nicks.

One of two decent English professors I had in college was working on a linguistic atlas of the Southeastern United States. He'd say that if your family hadn't moved for a few generations, he could tell from your speech within a few miles of where you grew up.

Plenty of baseball references, so the coeds didn't care from him.

He spent most of one class period explaining how "Me and Bobby McGee" was one of the finest examples of twentieth-century American poetry.

A talk-radio host in Atlanta who used to be entertaining once referred to PMS (premenstrual syndrome) as FTS (fixin' to start).

If it was Denny's, I'd be worried.

Favorite instrument? Vibes.

Bobby Hutcherson / Harold Land Quintet, "The Creators," live in Yugoslavia, 1973.

9. I worked on a book about food science that said the problem they were trying to solve in the lab that led to Cheetos was how to make something crunchy that then disappears.

What remains amazing about Stev(i)e Winwood is how much he did when he was in his teens. He's "still" "just" 77 years old.

Saw his daughter at a roots festival a few years back. Good show.

. . . and will likely be treated as one, bless their hearts.

Anyone who automatically interprets a deep southern, redneck, or hillbilly accent as the sign of an idiot is a classist, urbanist, regionalist moron.

What's going to happen to all the clickbait showing him 30 years younger and touting his great health?

Nick Fuentes on Trump: "I really believe that he needs to be impeached"

Translation:

"I finally got laid."

5.

Long story, but I once had a military chaplain as a guest in my home, the father of a young person we knew. I asked him what his current job was. He said he taught ethics at the School of the Americas. [I wondered how many times he's gotten away with that line.]

With the millions of things I could have said, and understanding that he was a guest in my home, I settled on,

"How interesting. A good friend of mine did the English translation of Gutierrez's A Theology of Liberation."

I nailed him exactly and he knew it. You could see the steam coming out of his ears.

Hegseth hammered . . . , or since he's bringing the big guy into it: nailed.

School of the Americas, back in the news.

Precious bodily fluids.

16. Frothy rectal output after ---- sex. That's Santorum.

Not sure what bizarre maneuver you're talking about. Perhaps I'm behind the times myself.

I've never heard of The Santorum but the description does not surprise me. That ------ is so sanctimonious it's nauseating.

As you said the other day to me, nothing personal, but as well informed as you claim to be, you miss an awful lot of stuff. Santorum was, so to speak, all over the place.

Santorum, Michelle Bachman . . . crazier than hell, but probably mostly harmless. As would MTG and Boobert be, if it wasn't for Trump.

My favorite Santorum story, and I read about this in a positive fashion in a book I was working on for some right-wing Catholics, was the family riding around with their unborn but out of the womb fetus. Same types of folks have birthday parties for miscarried fetuses (on what would have been their birthdays) long into their siblings-to-be childhoods. Really sick stuff.

When you're working, you're a Baptist. Management, you become Presbyterian. Whiskeypalians are the business owners.

Class in US religion. Or lack thereof.

Then consider that the US is now tanking on the last three.

World Prosperity Index. Go to the bottom and run Cuba compared to the US.

When it comes to safety and security, natural environment, education, health, and living conditions, Cuba doesn't fall far short.

On the other hand, not so good on enterprise conditions, investment environment, social capital, governance, and personal freedom.

They were never going to upgrade their infrastructure.

C'mon now. The country with better literacy and access to health care than the United States isn't going to attend to things like electricity?
