Tacos on every corner? Where do I sign up?

I assume Americans complain about specific immigrant groups only because of their cuisine. We have to stop Muslim immigration or we'll have Kebab shops everywhere - soon it will rival the great taco truck invasion! Goddammit no more Swedes we already have too many herring festivals!

The proof, as they say, will be in the pudding. Coming into a community is meaningless unless we offer an alternative to the horrible progressive agenda that has perpetuated a permanent underclass in America.

Really nailed his tone there. Seriously, I would donate to the Trump campaign to hear him read that.

Hasn't it only been one day since Trump literally enacted that 4chan cartoon where a guy sees a minority, cringes and cries, and then as soon as he gets home is all "godDAMN I showed that [racial slur of choice] what, beat his rear end good and made him pay me for it, gonna build a wall"? Just confirming, because this thread seems to have gone insane with a bunch of posters working out daddy issues via Keilor-as-proxy. What the gently caress, you guys.

Last month I had some pollster call me three times about different local ballot initiatives (city [should we be required to have a public vote any time the city literally does anything with selling/leasing public lands] and regional [should we add a half cent sales tax for public transit improvements]) in Northern California.

Someone's spending quite a few dollars on these since they were live caller on a cell phone. I'm not convinced it's push polling but it's very interesting to note.

Yeah mine didn't feel very push-poll-y but it was also an expensive live caller. I'll be interested to see what shows up on the ballot at election time.

LET ME EXPLAIN TO YOU WHY YOU ARE WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING
jesus, it's like you all are attacking my childhood here. My mom's been listening to Prairie Home Companion and Wait Wait Don't Tell Me forever, and I kinda just acquired the taste for it eventually. I guess I get why people find it boring - it's like a food either you eat in childhood and grow to like, or never like. It's pretty low key, the aural equivalent of Sunday morning legacy comic strips in the newspaper, but that means it's relaxing and reassuring.
It was pretty funny when Jesse Ventura was governor of Minnesota though, and one of the actors had a great impression of him.

The Robert Altman movie based on the show is really good, though. It's got Meryl Streep, Lily Tomlin, Kevin Kline, and Woody Harrelson, among others.

I've gotta admit, I'm getting annoyed with NPR more and more recently. The station formerly known as KPLU (can't recall their new callsign now) is pretty good because it becomes a jazz station in the late morning.

Fresh Air is still good.

Says You is good, but I really miss the original host. RIP. :smith:

Car Talk is also like a Sunday morning strip, but rather than Frank and Ernest, which gets the occasional chuckle, it's loving Mary Worth. You have no idea why anyone wants to be listening to it now, if you ever did. I'm glad one of the brothers is dead and I hope the other one dies soon.


I used to love This American Life, but now they have programs that do the same thing, better, with no Ira Glass. like, Snap Judgment, Radiolab, and the Moth Radio Hour.

also Tavis Smiley does good interviews. I don't know if he's still close with Cornel West though, that'd be embarrassing.

Homemade tortillas or bust.

There's a local chain Mexican fast food joint that's more tex mexy but they make a glorious gut bomb breakfast burrito for 5$. One of those after a night of drinking and you're set.
