Well, it was always meant to return whence it came anyway, given the innate atavism of American culture. American English is very much a relic of 17th century King's English.

I'm late to this one, but I looked at the photo this morning without my glasses on and I could have sworn that gun was a stripper pole. Really.

That's deep. And potentially the start of the next romantic comedy starring Jennifer Lawrence and Brad Cooper.

Plot of the next alt-history HBO series: "Uncivil Bore". The radical right makes good on their threat to murderfy people resulting in massive manhunt and dissolution of the NRA as a domestic terror organization. Starring William Hurt as Wayne LaPierre.

My wife knows her. She was always a wingnut, but she used to try to use rationale and pretend to respect others. She was slowly getting more and more crazy throughout the Obama presidency, since Trump took the oath she's been spiraling down the rabbit hole. It's so strange that having a wingnut president would make wingnuts so angry.

That could be, but she's from St. Louis.

She's like a prettier version of my mother. Her kids are going to need therapy for a long, long time.

If I recall correctly, they are homeschooled for religious/political reasons. I'd ask the wife, but apparently Loesch used to be sane and likable, and so was her husband. Aaaaaanyway, kids that grow up in cults always need therapy.

'To fisk' as in to subject to snarky fact-checking as one would do to rightwing journo Robert Fisk was a contendah for neologism about 10-12 years ago. It is a stretch too far

to say that Loesch was thinking 'fist.'

For that statement, anyway, the most you can accuse her of is terminal squareness.

I like this word cumberground! It is an excellent addition to my limited arsenal of non scatological abuse.
