Buena Vista Township sounds like some swampy patch of Florida where Jack Lemmon or Al Pacino might try to sell you real estate, but it’s not. It’s worse. Buena Vista Township is this miserable flat place near Saginaw, Michigan, aka Flint without the glitter. According to Google Maps, BVT features such landmarks as a McDonald’s and the Great Lakes Gypsum and Supply. It’s also home to terrible human being/Township Clerk Gloria Platko.
Don't tell that to the Morris family. Their son Little Stevie might prove you to be incorrect? There are a great many wonderful things about Saginaw, Mi. The downfall of Saginaw was when General Motors came to town.
I've done several shows with them- a bunch of lovable old coots wearing waaaay too much cheap cologne. They made my stage resemble an assisted living facility and they would invariably spend the day chasing after the twenty something female stagehands. Great music though...
I was trying to figure out why he used Pelosi, and I think you've figured out his "reasoning" -- that bit about making inferences from who's supporting her. The interesting bet on this race seems to be whether the men in white coats will come for Sanford before or after election day. I liked the comment from Pelosi's press secretary: "The only people who took this seriously were the people at Kinko's."
I agree; I teach an online comparative religion course, and some fundy students post the most mind-bogglingly bigoted comments about Jews or Muslims, and think that I can't call them on it, because it's their beliefs.
I can, and I do. Luckily, no one so far this year (fingers crossed!)
Their images come from black-and-white newsreels of the south from Little Rock on. Hate-filled, fearful, screaming mobs. Oh no, They are not like <i> those people</i> in the newsreels. They can&#039;t be: Michigan fought for the Union (and valiantly). It&#039;s just ordinary life to them. Everything since Brown has washed over them.
Someone explain to her only Chris Rock is allowed to do <a href="http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch\?v=f3PJF0YE-x4" target="_blank">Chris Rock&#039;s act</a>.
Sad to say, none of the other contemptuous terms we use to make a point about &quot;nigger&quot; carry the same violent, dehumanizing impact.
&quot;Cunt&quot; used to be close, but not anymore.
&quot;Polack,&quot; &quot;spic,&quot; &quot;wog,&quot; &quot;kike,&quot; and &quot;towelhead&quot; just seem cartoonish in comparison.
Somebody call Frank Luntz. We need a spin-doctor consult. We need a term for &quot;bigot&quot; that has some sting to it.

The Rod Of Correction is not a magic wand.

Wonkete would never have reported on this if she was a Dimocrat.

And yet you&#039;re a regular here, where the Editrix uses it almost as freely as Mellors, though with different intent.
Leave Mrs. Platko alone! Picking on her is just anti-racist bigotry.

Yes...he actually did an interview where he admits he has regrets about that.

Just look at the maps: Michigan&#039;s a mitt and Florida&#039;s a wang. There&#039;s your connection.
Actually the Saginaw area is gorgeous--well, except for the residents, I guess.
Yeah, unless you&#039;re from deepest Lancashire (and maybe not even then), cunt&#039;s still kind of a... strong word.
