The first living thing to go through the device was a small white rat. I still have him, in fact. As you can see, the damage was not so great as they say.

Folks, that's no irony. It's the whole point.

At the IRS, for example, staff reductions have fallen particularly heavily upon auditors and revenue agents, whose numbers were down by 31 percent in the first three months of this year. (It is no small irony that few government investments offer a higher rate of return than tax audits on upper-income filers, which can yield as much as $12 for every dollar spent.)

When people talk about a Black Magneto, I always think no company would give him Magneto's backstory.

Jewish Magneto's backstory is his parents killed in the holocaust. Would Disney show Black Magneto's parents getting lynched by men with confederate flags?

The US often won't confront its history.

Ubisoft canceled an 'Assassin's Creed' game set after the Civil War

• Featured a Black Assassin who was formerly a slave

Dizzying how some of the biggest doofuses who skulked around the most feverish, fetid corners of the internet now whisper in the ears of the people who run the government.

Ten years ago, Posobiec was an Infowars clown who was throwing out 1488s and parenthesizing Jews on Twitter.

If we had a real press

I do not understand why television stations are not showing live coverage of how there is literally nothing happening in Portland and Chicago. I mean, Peter Jennings, Dan Rather, and Tom Brokaw would each be sitting on a set in those cities telling everyone the white house is lying.

Wasn’t really sure what to expect from Chapel Bill. But after that drive, I have him as second best college coach I’ve ever seen, just below Saban.

Even when they quit it's either slightly early retirement or taking a cop job one jurisdiction over.

While Trump deserves it, for the sake of the country and world I hope he doesn't follow the Jimmy Carter route of looking very slightly deader every day for 18 months.

Which I suppose means if they do manage to light it before you steal it, you must dispose of it (usually but not exclusively done by burning)

lol this rules this is like an adult swim show

"Big news in the world of show business," Metaxas began the first episode. "Harrison Ford will be returning for a fifth Indiana Jones movie. Yeah. In this one Harrison will find an ancient artifact ….. by looking in the mirror."
There were a few titters from the audience, and scattered applause. Metaxas, appearing nervous, continued with the one-liners:
"Barbie's longtime companion, Ken, just turned 61 years old. Yeah. And he said the perfect gift for his birthday would be to finally get a prostate."
This time there were some audible groans.
Metaxas stuck at it.

Conservatives saw a Filipino contender and bought on a deal from the liberals "we can pick anyone we like as long as he's white" deal.
