WTF is that? Is it white-splaining? Is it douche-splaining? Is it DEUCE-BIGALOW-MALE-GIGOLO-SPLAINING? So actor Rob Schneider, whom yr Wonkette remembers from basically nothing, because he isn't that funny, said that thing on Twitter, obviously drawing on his deep, abiding experience fighting for civil rights alongside Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
My ex-wife was an English major, so she would have punished me for my incorrect declension, the proper word is 'hanged'. But they are hung well and once, same as me.
Victoria Jackson is a singularly unattractive woman and like all such women it has little to do with how she looks or what goes in her mouth, rather it is what comes out that gives her that distinctive slimy sheen.
As a non-chemist, I do not know why the need for lots of lead. It could be many things. You likely are correct as to achieving the actual color, however. The lead may have properties that help prevent the various pigments used to achieve a specific color from separating as the product, say a dinner plate, is fired in a kiln. It is always possible, that the information I was given many years ago was just simply incorrect. The culprit could well be mercury, not lead. Lead commonly is used, however in most fine dining products. The US legal limit in crystal, for instance, is 24 point something percent. There is also a legal US limit for pewter products used for holding food or drink.
If only Rob had said this to a black woman comedian Civil Rights activist, he'd have hit the trifecta of Whitesplaining Mansplaining Notfunnysplaining.
From the FDA: Lead is used to intensify the colours red, orange, and yellow. If the pottery is fired properly, there is little danger of mercury being released into food. The lead helps bond the glaze to the ceramic, which is why proper firing is so important. If the glaze isn't properly bonded, it will leach lead into the food. Not to pick on Mexico in particular, using brightly coloured pottery made there should not be used as food containers. ALL red, yellow, or orange glazes used in the US must have under a certain amounts of PPM of lead. Most of them are completely lead free. The glazes that contain lead are not in heavy use, and marked as such, with an advisory against using them for food containers. So Nancy's dinnerware was most likely safe. You know what used to be a really dangerous color used in pottery? Cobalt Blue.
I think during his first term it was markedly less severe. I just thought he was a dim-wit. His first wife divorced him for being too boring, essentially.
Wingut convictions, they change as need be. When someone comes up with a sensible response to his stuff and he doesn't have a retort, he just takes his marbles and goes home. After insulting the other person. When we were kids playing board games, if he was losing he'd just toss the board and parts. At least I remember some chess games like that.

Have a great day!
I believe "white man's burden" is a Kipling quote. And he may have meant it sarcastically.

Yes, the great communicator, brain dead before his time.
Victoria Jackson libel!

You're right about that. Sorry. I only know it from hearing others actually say it and it was pretty much in the context of being deadly serious.
Ha! Shows what you know, this is Wonkette and comments are not allowed!

So he doesn't even have the courage of his convictions. LOL!

point taken
I liked Opera Man because I don't like opera, and it was completely absurd.
Neither is Scott Baio ;-)
I can afford to lose that
