The haircuts were stupid, but music was marginally better. No deep messages. There were a couple years where people were genuinely big on recycling, that was cool. Then Bush came along and suddenly people did poo poo like dumping antifreeze into the storm drain BECAUSE ITS A FREE COUNTRY THAT'S WHY.

To y'all thinking Jeb isn't too bad: Check out the 2000 debates between W and Gore. GWB seemed well-spoken and reasonable too. Blame 9/11 all you want for him falling off whatever wagon he was on, but now we are dealing with the party that took the Bush years and made them orthodoxy. Jeb will be just as bad, but with a better grasp of language.

Dr. Red Ranger posted:Any more info on this? I go school in the district that elected this moron and I've never heard of this, or the "his wife admits it's a scam" thing. Everyone is just "oh just like all politicians, I won't judge though because I'm not God" about it. It's a reference to John Ensign of Nevada, who was not only caught banging his staffer's wife, but had both the wife and the husband on campaign/staff payrolls respectively, fired the husband (by finding him a job as a lobbyist without waiting a year - an FEC no-no on top of basically acting as a hotline for the guy's clients afterwards), and had his parents write a $96k 'gift' check to them in order to keep it quiet. Except it wasn't seen as a gift by the staffer and his wife - they thought it was severance pay. Coburn (of Hoklagoma) was the one who 'floated a number' to the staffer, e.g. suggesting how big that check should be.

He probably heard it from whoever beats him in the head with a hammer every day, thought it was a funny turn of phrase, and decided to blurt it at the attorney general. Problem is that his hammer-wielding gimp master was fielding a bit of gastronomic criticism from the wife regarding his failure at properly cooking the otherwise delightful vegetable in question. She'd yelled down into the basement about how the asparagus was a lovely, lemony-peppery mush and the gimp, taking offense, insisted she not cast aspersions on his asparagus. Gohmert, as he had not yet received the first of his nightly concussions, was lucid enough to overhear. It was literally aspersions being cast upon a man's asparagus, but Gohmert took it as a euphemism (that bastard burns my grits/grinds my gears/throws shade) because he's a loving idiot. Alternatively he believes he is literally a plate of asparagus and refers to himself in the self-possessive second vegetable. When he said "my asparagus" he meant himself.

1996 really was before the dawn of the current GOP. That was back when the 1994 crowd had taken power and was heading towards the present state of the GOP, but they still had shreds of decency and humanity in places and understood you have to know how fuckin' works in order to make safe choices about it. Sure they were repressive prudes but that's always been their mode.

It doesn't take much in the way of brains to let your cabinet run the country by proxy. Bush was dumb as a fencepost and trying to claim otherwise is ignoring the fact that the dumb bastard spent half his presidency playing in the dirt at his ranch in Texas and then poorly faking a kind of machismo every time the cameras showed up by claiming "Yeah, clearing brush." Motherfucker your dumb rear end expected people to believe you legitimately cleared brush every weekend for eight goddamn years. He's stupid. It's unfortunate he isn't fitting through whatever wheeled trollposts you keep rolling around back there for what constitutes stupidity in a person but he didn't need to be goddamn Dwayne Elizondo Mountaindew Camacho or whatever to be explainably dumb. He was an idiot, period. He tripped over his own tongue constantly, sat on his balls whenever he tried to project any kind of swagger, failed everything he's ever attempted in life with the exception of campaigning (which is honestly attributable to Rove and the RNC more than anything) and the modicum of redemption even I'll grant him for having the shame to stay the gently caress out of the limelight after leaving the presidency. His energy company failed. No joke, his goddamn oil business in Texas failed. That's like running a bordello in DC, you're god damned stupid if you gently caress it up. And as for elections, Louie loving Gohmert wins elections. If that's the bar you want to set for what makes someone smart you're going to be pretty disappointed. Bush was loving stupid and until there's evidence that he was somehow secretly a genius that's the way it'll have to be. The man on tape is a dumb man and it doesn't stop being that want just because you insist it's an act or that he was just mushmouthed and that's why he spoke like a moron. He also made stupid actions and those can't be handwaved away by just saying he's bad at speaking.

I have always viewed the usage of the term "negro" as not inherently racist, but so archaic and provincial that the only people using it in a racial context are unequivocally racists. Without exception. It's also used as a noun (e.g. "A black" as opposed to "A black person") for the same reason. It's like that who moved my cheese book. Reading it won't get you fired, but if your boss recommends it...

zoux posted:Hate the racism not the racist, I always say. Personally I hate the racist, too. Enough people have grown out of being "from a different time," it's a cop-out to excuse whatever racist piece of poo poo is in question. I think it's because I somewhat sympathize with the "they don't understand rational thought" mindset. Not necessarily in the sense that you need to literally beat the racism out of the racist, but that anyone capable of departing racist thought on their own through reason and empathy has done so. What's left requires effort beyond just hoping and praying. The remainders just stay a problem until they're shamed or beaten (in the court, in the market, and on the ballot) and made an example. They may not confront their evils but beating them publicly (same clarification as above) is close enough.

So are teams called franchises for shits and giggles? I keep hearing/seeing poo poo about how the league can't outright revoke ownership without providing some kind of satisfactory buyout to Sterling, but I can't imagine the NBA, were they a franchise issuer, would be so stupid to draft a contract without some kind of allowance for brand protection and prevention from having to buy out racist fucks who paid enough money back when the NBA board of governors was closer to the CPAC committee than what it is today.
