When O'Reilly writes breathlessly about the "old school," I think he's referring to the Columbian expeditions and plague-infested Medieval Europe.

Well, yes, because a melted snowflake is just a drop of H2O.

I love how these RWNJ pundits talk about how hard they work and what great work ethics they have. Basically they get paid for putting on a suit and yelling at the camera. That's the RWNJ equivalent of breaking rocks in the hot sun. Ditto RWNJ actors (e.g. Chachi, James Woods). It was just SOOOOOOO hard mugging for the camera back in 1988 and they're never gonna let you forget it!

Just another tome you'll find at your local remaindered book store in two months. Or prominently displayed at your local Walmart.

So the drugs and self-help aren't working, huh? Might be time for some professional assistance.

Every time something gets straightened out, along comes a shithead like McConnell and it's back to square one. That fuckhead goes ahead and just changes the rules all willy-nilly. How the hell can ya even keep up with that shit? It's like Calvin Ball all the time with no end in sight.

Amazing, well not really, that Hillbilly Elegy is still No 2. It's a good book, a morbid look beneath the surface of Appalachia's plights.

O'Reilly, on the other hand, is a master at attracting morbid curiosity using tail chasing arguments comprising nothing but surface.

Projection. Don't forget projection; deep in its shallowness.

Developing nation poverty right here in the good 'ol USA! I have been informed by posters on other forums that using the words "third world" are bigoted and not nice, so I used *their* preferred term of "developing nation/s." Is it still okay to use "third world" here?

Not ALL white students went south to stand with Civil Rights protesters, but more than a few did. And some of them died for equal rights for African Americans. That is a fact. College students of all colors, and the media(which is the only "old school" thing I miss..journalism)got the VietNam war stopped. And a deeply flawed old white man signed the Civil Right Act of 1964, losing the South for Democrats for what, 50 years now?

I thought it was okay to punch Nazis around here. W/O votes.

This band was my most top secret of guilty pleasures when I was a punk rock girl. It still is. Well, not anymore, I guess.
