When my little girl was little, people said the same thing. I am worried I am becoming a misanthrope because of all the stupid. It appears to be a highly contagious virus.

That Jordan bothered to vote no and then to defend his vote speaks volumes. Sadly this fucking dude often speaks fucking volumes. Unless its about a coworker raping boys. Then the fucker is dead silent.

Somewhere I saw a story about a guy who got hurt bad by letting a running machine massage his stuff.

One of the interesting things about hair is that you are probably seeing some people with what you THINK is natural hair that isn't. As someone who has noticeably thin hair (and is from a European background), I spend a couple grand a year getting weaves that make it look normal.

Do some reading on it. The answer to your second question is "many."

Maybe that is what these GOP bigots are afraid of.

You only think you're kidding about that.

Actually - their wives hate it more ... what the men hate is one of the reasons why Emmett Till was lynched and his white female accuser - who was lying, and that's on the record - is alive and was never punished.

We don't say "Miscegenation" anymore, though. That's a Confederate word, which leads to "How Modern Democrats lose messaging wars".

Listen, you have to feel for Jim Jordan. He's got a lot of work ahead of him, setting out the reasons why Joe Biden should be made to pay for "gas prices and inflation" in 2024. When people say "these are world-wide conditions" what's he gonna say?He's got to concentrate, that's all.

What a sensitive man, or-- thing. I noticed it when he stepped down off that truck and said, "Where do I go? Over here?" Now he's upset about Stacy A. being a folk hero when she didn't go near the trucks.

Not to be a prick or anything but they coulda been more inclusive by adding some other natural features that the Europeans have like brunette, blonde and red, straight, wavy and fuzzy: that is "natural hair"; as well as some limitations such as working around hazardous machinery when the machinery is operating.

But what the fuck, I'm a balding and decidedly gray.

Because I am a white woman with thin, stick-straight hair, I have failed (until recently) to appreciate how much of black hair care is about protecting it and keeping it healthy.

Here is how old I am: I refused to attend my high school commencement ceremony* because they wouldn't allow my friend Dave to participate unless he shaved his mustache. I don't think Dave even considered below shirt collar-length hair.
