Car wasn’t going to be ready until noon so I cabbed it back home and was treated to some idiot gabbing on The Patriot while the fellow traveler behind the wheel explained to me that the new building going up on Hampton and University was a “Jewish” building (the contractor’s sign had three J’s on it) and that it was going to be some kind of Jewish center.
Because Jewish centers are always located on the edge of an industrial park across from a Turkish grocery store/deli and a sewing machine repair business.
I really need to figure out how to take the buses in this town.

I don’t understand why Roeder’s not death penalty eligible. Premeditated first degree murder isn’t a capitol crime in Kansas?
Apparently you have to perform “multiple killings, the slaying of a law enforcement officer or other circumstances before the death penalty can be sought.” I’m guessing “other circumstances” means rape/pederasty which would be another word for what Roeder just did to countless women/teens across the country.
Roeder lives in a world where you can be forcibly impregnated and then forced to carry your rapist’s child to term. The right-to-lifers don’t have to change our laws. All they have to do is kill all the doctors who refuse to obey the right-to-lifers’ god.
And again, I’d much rather we had no death penalty but in a country where an eyebrow shaver gets you banned from school for 45 days, it doesn’t seem fair that a calculating hate-filled murderer like Roeder be ineligible for the ultimate punishment.

Mitch McConnell is “limp-wristed”?
Hey, it’s not like he’s pushing for a centennial observance of Eugene Debs’ fourth run for the presidency….

Since La Raza doesn’t have an official uniform, the CCC created one for them.
I’m guessing they didn’t have to do much research other than looking in their own closets and then changing the colors.
My cabbie at least tried to convince me that the talk radio idiots hate Republicans too, but he didn’t show much interest in my observation that the GOP is now the party of Dixie.

This is too easy. Young cons steal from black culture because they wish they were black. Or, at least, they wish they could have what they think it means to be black. To them, being black means infinite swagger combined with eternal victimhood, plus a gigantic third leg of a dick. Oh, and they also get away with misogyny, so there’s that, too. That’s practically paradise for any wingnut you’ll ever meet in your life.

So long, of course, as they don’t have to share in the full black experience, just the cool part. (The part without ropes or chains.)
