Weigel's recent article on the practice included a picture of one of the coal rollers who did, in fact, have Truck Nutz on his modded vehicle.

This particular sort of culture war bullshit generally happens because hicks resent other people for not being as unsophisticated as they are. See also: irrational hate for granola, bagels, arugula etc.

When I put it in GIS, though, it's only giving me pictures of food.

Also, I'm pretty sure no one had an opinion on arugula until Obama mentioned it. I like it. It's nice and assertive and peppery. Although the best part about it is that instead of having a shelf-life of 2-4 days like a lettuce it stays good in the fridge for a week or two like spinach.

I have to say, I think bagels have become sort of universal in developed Red America, like Starbucks. Go back 15 years and Starbucks was some effete liberal thing that only existed on the coasts and probably required reciting the Little Red Book to order from. Cut to today and every conservative soccer mom and half the urban dads are there regularly without thinking. Bagels seem to have seeped into the mainstream via various chains that have incorporated them and slowly integrated them into Real America's menus. Probably not everywhere, of course. Arugula, on the other hand, is for limp-wristed, pot-smoking, Bill Ayers-loving, Black Christian Islamicists with deep Kenyan anti-colonial roots.

Well I was amused by the pettiness of the "ONE LESS PRIUS" bumper sticker on the tricked-out pickup truck down the block from my house, but now that I know about "rolling coal" that seems almost magnanimous.

illrepute posted:So who do you think is actually going to end up being the GOP candidate? I always liked the shrieking white-hot sphere of pure rage. I have this nagging instinct that it's going to be Rand Paul, if only because the crazy wave seems to be approaching a crest and Cruz is far less likable on a gut level than Paul, plus Paul has the built-in base that is perpetually motivated to work a campaign. I hope that I'm wrong and it's actually Cruz, because I don't think that simpering dough-goblin can win and I would love to see him humiliated and chased from the national stage.

Bagels are a great way to shove 500-600 calories in your mouth. Little while ago I saw truck nuts consisting of two very large bolt nuts chained to the trailer hitch. It sort of made my day sort of pissed me off. Good job, man with insecurity issues.

While cruising HuffPo (HuffPo is like Internet comfort food to me) I found this article ranking states on "tightness," where "tightness" is defined as having "many strongly enforced rules and little tolerance for deviance". Any guesses as to which states are tightest and which are loosest?quote:The ten tightest states? Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Louisiana, Kentucky, South Carolina, and North Carolina. The ten loosest, meanwhile, are California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Hawaii, New Hampshire, and Vermont. (Notice a pattern here?) The main reason this is interesting to me is that it's a major right-wing narrative that red states represent FREEDOM and LIBERTY, and blue states represent GUBMINT INTERFERENCE and the PC POLICE. And yet every time liberty is actually quantified and measured in any way that makes sense (ie "access to alcohol and availability of civil unions" as opposed to "whether you can shout racial slurs in the street without getting scowled at"), the result is something like this. I know I'm preaching to the choir by posting this in DD at all, hence why it goes in the Chat Thread instead of a Serious Thread.

Germany just arrested an American spy that had infiltrated one of our intelligence agencies. One politician compared this turn of event to ~Jonathan Pollard~.

That was basically my reaction as well. Not to the "America spies on Germany" part but to the "Germany actually manages to arrest a mole".

forbidden lesbian posted:Not that it makes it right but i'm pretty sure everyone is spying on everyone in some capacity. Honestly, Im mostly surprised that Germany very publicly arrested him. Doing so makes both countries look bad (CIA for spying and BND for having spies) and openly increases tensions, distancing both. The articles I read kinda make it sound like Germany actually asked America to come clean, and when the CIA 'remained silent' someone had had enough.

With the exception of Huntsman, literally everyone in the primary battle was the front runner until some horrible misstep or scandal removed them from contention. Bachmann, Santorum and Herman Cain were all favored to win the Republican nomination at one point.
