I did my underage drinking in rural Nebraska, so I didn't know that.

I'm sure they have much better wine now. But if you wanted some at Easter during Prohibition, you could most easily buy it from someone who claimed to be Jewish and getting wine for Passover.

Probably the same reason my dad wanted it at Easter.

Have you tried Manischewitz recently? It's been a decade for me. My very non-Jewish dad was mentioning it because his parents had it at holidays because Prohibition. It's really sweet and not using the Concord grapes to their best advantage.

To call it 'the most corrupt administration in US history' does not do it justice; that so understates the degree of corruption as to be almost false.

They have in fact instituted a new regime in which officeholders treat the public's thing—the republic—as their personal property...like kings do.

a protest sign in pittsburgh, PA with a still of Groucho Marx and a prim dark-haired woman wearing jewels. She is has a comic book style text bubble over her head “Trump was sent by GOD!”. Over Groucho’s head the bubble reads “Why?! Was he out of LOCUSTS?”

Civic Light Opera implies the existence of military heavy opera. Unless that's just Wagner.

Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today

The last couple were really peaceful. I couldn't really get close enough to see the podium because of the crowds.

A photo of a store sign in the freezer section. A meme style caption at the top says Lowes taking the guess work out of storing the bodies. The large header reads Freezers. A capacity guide lists One person 3 to 7 cubic ft, Small family 8 to 14 cubic ft, Medium to large family 15 to 26 cubic ft. The humor is that the wording sounds like body storage instead of food.
