Samurai Sanders posted:You know, when I talk to foreigners about Labor Day they often associate it with their May Day, if they have one, but I tell them that's not exactly it, since May Day has historical union/communist connections in the US while Labor Day doesn't. Little did I know that they both do...? Labor unions and the strides they have made for workers rights is why Labor Day was invented initially, but it's been whitewashed as much as possible in the last century. Edit: seems like it was made a national holiday after the Haymarket Massacre, so yeah, it's def. about labor unions. Fuckt Tupp fucked around with this message at 01:23 on Aug 31, 2014 |

Joementum posted:John Boehner likes a large coffee ("they call it 'venti' at Starbucks") with a little creamer. Always hot. He'll go for a Diet Coke if he wants a cold beverage. He's a big Starbucks coffee guy and has a pro tip for people making coffee at the office: pour it into a carafe instead of leaving it on heat so that it doesn't taste burnt. This Speaker of the House is brought to you by Starbucks and the color burnt umber.

Maybe white people are just inherently better than black people. Have any of you considered that possibility? Am I hilarious yet?

A halfway house type of thing, or just day-jail lite for rich guys? Job creator jail.

FilthyImp posted:Is America ready for a woman president, friends? Consider that, two weeks out of a month, women are hormonal. They're depressed. They're Whiny. They're angry over the dumbest things. Do we REALLY want a woman at the switch when she's in the middle of having her Aunt Flo? I mean think of it, YOUR TAX DOLLARS are funding her Midol. They're funding her TAMPONS. YOUR TAX DOLLARS! Ali G already covered a similar angle. (Watch the whole thing if you haven't seen it.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEaef07rD6c#t=02m43s

Mister Macys posted:Obscure "Tea Party raver" joke? I've heard the song and everything and thought maybe there were neon rings in the video, but nope. Thought process: Turn Down for What is a club song Clubs are kind of like the new raves People in the 90's wore glow sticks at raves Boom, youth-targeted political ad. Still not as pathetic as "Grr! I'm Obamacare!" Joementum posted:Quote of the day: "I am a little shocked quite frankly looking at the AP course in American history that's being taught in high schools across out country right now...There's only two paragraphs in there about George Washington. George Washington! Little or nothing about Dr. Martin Luther King...I think most people when they finish that course, they'd be ready to go sign up for ISIS. I mean, this is what we're doing to the young people in our nation...We have got to stop crucifying ourselves. Have we made mistakes as a nation? Of course we have. Why? Because we're people. And all people make mistakes." ~ Ben Carson. Slavery? Just people being people. Joementum posted:College Republicans try their hand at reaching young, female voters.
