So somebody I follow on another site just made a post ranting about tacos being apparently declared offensive stereotypes, and all you can eat taco bars being banned from college campuses. Turns out they've linked to an article on The College Fix: quote:The real losers, however, are the nonprofit efforts these events help support; all-you-can-eat taco bars get lots of warm bodies through the doors. Nothing says celebrating Mexican heritage than shoveling sub-Taco Bell tacos down your gob. While wearing sombreros and fake mustaches. quote:A YouTube video of a “Pi Phiesta” taco night last year shows a bunch of students stuffing their faces with tacos, smiling, and raising a wad of cash for literacy causes. I like how they place the blame on "militant Latino students" with a "machete to grind". It's like they're not Part of Us...

Dapper_Swindler posted:broken clock etc. Trump is from the branch of conservatives who hate the establishment enough that they will not be afraid attack the elephant in room hypocrisy that alot of the mainstream GOP sweeps under the rug, either way i am curious how this will turn out for him. I dislike when Ben Carson tries to pull the Donald Trump "Not apologizing" card. Oddly enough? I feel more inclined to let Trump say the stupid poo poo he says because it's at least entertaining and we occasionally get moments like this. (also the whole "GOOD LUCK SUCKING UP TO THE KOCH BROS., ASSHOLES" moment was also awesome). Mister Macys posted:Does that make Scott Walker the biker from The Lost and the Damned that Trevor kills in the first half hour? Yes! Also Kevin Sorbo's wife was fauning over Mark Steyn who claimed that the Public Education system in this country apparently has been brainwashing millenials to hate the "founding fathers" and to embrace Marxism. Apparently we were never given history classes teaching us about the Founding Fathers all during our education. (Funny I seem to recall my 6th, 8th, 10th, 11th grade years all having classes discussing the founding of our country in very patriotic sense. I didn't even recall being taught about "unions" until my Junior year of college). Apparently if one identifies as a Bernie Sanders-esque Socialst? They may as well be a Communist and anyone that is not on the tea party side is a apparently a flaming socialist. So everyone is a communist apparently. "Be sure to read my book coming out about home schooling your kid" she ended this with. It's literally sounding more and more like a GTA/Dr. Strangelove parody now-a-days with these people. e: I don't understand how someone like Mark Steyn would know the first thing about the American education system considering he's from the UK and Canada.

Was reading CounterPunch and found this linked to on the front page. http://store.counterpunch.org/product/queen-of-chaos-digital-book/ quote:United State wars are getting repetitive. Always the same old scenario. The mainstream media alert public opinion to the latest “villain” supposedly threatening to slaughter “his own people”. The U.S. does the job instead with its drones and missiles. The new “villain” is soon forgotten, but his country is left in a shambles, with competing fanatics vying to dominate the chaos. Something new is needed. How about a Woman War President? Hillary Rodham Clinton has painstakingly groomed herself for the role. Her record as Secretary of State shows that she is fully qualified to be the first woman to be known as the “mother of all drones” or even to launch World War III. Those accusations might be more credible if they weren't be a genocide denier.

Given that he started his career as a snotty campus-rag snob that somehow landed a job at the Telegraph (his first piece of note was called "The United States of Bozos and Losers", gloating about the 1996 Atlanta bombing: “[In] Atlanta…Incredibly fit people on steroids were cheered by incredibly fat people on cheeseburgers, and delighted by this arrangement, the Games’ sponsors — the purveyors of Coke and Big Macs and other performance de-enhancing products — maintain an iron grip.” “The ads for Nike and other products offer obnoxious, aggressive sportsmen opining, for example, that there’s no such thing as ‘winning silver’…In their advocacy of total war, winning at any price, the end justifying the means, the philosophy of the commercials is virtually indistinguishable from your average terrorist group’s credo.”

This also holds true for the villain in a children's movie about Legos that's really just about not stifling creativity. Get a grip, guys. Yours helpfully, Someone Sane

Its sort of become a Christmas Tradition for me to wait until I encounter the first "Scrooge is the good guy" story of the season. That's when I know its truly Christmas time. That and when Fox News sounds the horns of the War on Christmas. They have to be loud to be heard over all that Christmas music I'm totally not hearing in half the stores I go into.

Just that the writers like to shake things up occasionally and they'd already brought back 'Bucky' Barnes from the dead and made him Captain America for awhile. It won't stick, Steve Rogers will be repowered/deaged and taking back the shield after they've played around with the Falcon as Cap for a few story arcs.

I can name a lot of black brits off the top of my head. Lester, Haywood, and Akinnuoye-Agbaje would all make great Bonds too. The reason Idris Elba is wanted as Bond is that he personifies intelligent and classy badassery. Why do you think him being black is a major reason?
