I used to play spades in college. More recently, I've learned from my younger son that it's quite big in the Santa Clara County jail. I've tried to play it with him, but for some reason he can count like a motherfucker.

Playboy, right?

Speaking of someone who actually works blue collar for a "living", I admit I envy him a teensy bit, if only inasmuch as I think I could do a lot better at his life than he did.

3 by Ivana, 1 by Marla and 1 by Melania (is that really a name?) Yes, I looked it up on Wikipedia in the first place. I was hoping he'd have six, so I could post <a href="https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch\?v=wWtDPzGu0yA" target="_blank">this link</a>.

I was thinking "night and day", but I guess there's no need for subtlety here.

This sent me to look up "Caucasian" on Wikipedia. Here's a short excerpt. <blockquote>The term "Caucasian race" was coined by the German philosopher Christoph Meiners in his The Outline of History of Mankind (1785). In Meiners' unique racial classification, there were only two racial divisions (Rassen): Caucasians and Mongolians. These terms were used as a collective representation of individuals he personally regarded as either good looking or less attractive, based solely on facial appearance. For example, he considered Germans and Tatars more attractive, and thus Caucasian, while he found Jews and Africans less attractive, and thus Mongolian. </blockquote> Wikipedia continues "This racial classification did not receive much support", but then goes on to explain at length why we're stuck with the word. Since it seems that a lot of people cant tell Chechnya from the Czech Republic, "But they're Caucasian" may not be an effective response.

His older kids seem rather...sane. Maybe they were grown before he completely lost his mind?

I'm sure Bubba has his second amendment remedy in hand.

It's accidental?

What ... <strike>commenting</strike> spewing idiocy on the Yahoo boards was too slow?

I wonder if the NY Post has even mentioned this part of the story. The fuckers were all over the first part.

We've not only kept the word, we've kept Meiners' basis for racial categories: it's all about how you look.

Too bad we can't ask him what he thinks of a certain tangerine-colored Congresscritter, or an (alleged) billionaire with the hair of an orangutan.

Anyone who would try pass off that ridiculous swirl on his head as not being partially bald must have the self-awareness of a chicken.

You're absolutely right. I saw a thing on Cracked about Lil' Kim being just like a 3rd grade bully. It all makes sense now.

Ahem. Duck Dynasty is <a href="http:\/\/www.salon.com\/2013\/04\/10\/%E2%80%9Cduck_dynasty%E2%80%9D_is_a_great_sitcom\/" target="_blank">the best sitcom on tv now</a>. The one really educational experience of my life after my last graduation was coming to Louisiana and getting to know, and play darts with, hunters. In England, "hunting" means the unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable. Without Wilde's wit, that's rich buggers on horses trampling crops while the fox runs the other way. Here, they're just ordinary, and in many cases progressive, men and women with a weird fondness for freezing their asses off up on a stand at 4 in the morning. As long as they feed me the duck and venison, I'm OK with that. Trump's next TV show should definitely involve an alligator.
