Hard to believe.... Tillsonburg, Ontario is the home of one of the women who claimed to write that piece of doggerel, and they are having a 50th anniversary gala for it. I shit you not.

Seems unique to Firefox; doesn't happen in Safari. Aggravating.

But, but . . . free market! Invisible hand! Freedumb!

(The market determined that invisible hands should build a wall so that whites could be free from black neighbors.)

Let's remember that above all else, the 24-hour news machine loves a fight, and will invent a nontroversy under any circumstances. I seriously doubt that many Goopers who don't depend on TV appearances for their bread and butter really feel anything about this.

This is the kind of sportsmanlike gracefulness expected from a commenter-of-the-day.

Only someone who lives off by himself in the <strike>forest primeval</strike> trackless jungle and has no life would bother to read through all of those comments on comments that aren't allowed here.

This place is just crawling with dog-named metasensuals who are all trying to cram ever more deconstruction (and snausages, maybe) down our throats.

I haven't been mislaid in so long, I think I may have forgotten how.

OT, but ... why the hell do I suddenly have to log in, again, every time I move to a different post? This is happening only on Wonkette.

"Slate" has an interesting article about the "redline" maps the government and bankers used to use to determine which neighborhoods were mortgage-worthy and which weren't, mostly according to skin color of the current inhabitants.

I guess everybody always knew about this, but it's still astonishing to see the actual documents, which are nicely layered into Google Maps.

A terrible practice! Thank goodness it ended long, long ago...in <i>19-fucking-68,</i> just a few years before they shut down the Tuskeegee Experiment.
