We have done that. They told us to be ladies, to be submissive, to keep our voices down and our hands in our laps. They tried to enforce it with legislation, with hiring, with paying us less than men, with fashions that kept us quiet and hobbled. It got us bupkis. So now we're doing it different. Already the sight of a pink pussyhat makes them grope for the Viagra. They shall know fear.

What a surprise! 13 Republican senators will draft the Senate's version of legislation to repeal and replace Obamacare. Take a guess how many of the 13 are women.

The UK replaced that market by selling sarin-precursors to the Syrian government.

After watching a bit of Planet America last night on Trump's first international trip, where they compared and contrasted his behavior towards the leaders of NATO countries with his behavior towards the Russians, I found myself cussing and cursing those Americans who enabled the electoral college to enable this shambolic fool of a President. I felt myself lose my footing as the bedrock of the international order shifted underneath me.
Then, this morning, while continuing my comedic reverie into the works of Alexi Sayle, I found this:
quote:
"If you travel to the States ... they have a lot of different words than like what we use. For instance: they say 'elevator', we say 'lift'; they say 'drapes', we say 'curtains'; they say 'president', we say 'seriously deranged git!"
This joke was probably written in the 80's or 90's when Alexi was the king of alternative comedy, but it just felt so right for 2017.
I had to turn off Planet America because I got so upset. I might just write this quote out on a bit of paper and see if it will help me watch the rest.

The above video contains gender stereotyping. Alexi Sayle also tends to swear as often as he uses conjunctions.

I note that Amerika, as exemplified by your president and his cronies, is fast retreating into itself, as did the isolationist America Firsters in the period between the Great War and the European wars. It took a Japanese attack on a naval base in an American dependency to shake them out of it.
Those who do not understand history are doomed to repeat it.

Oh...ok, that one trumps Brexit. I didn't think it would be possible, but yep, he's done it.
I've always said that now is the rise of the East and the fall of the West, I just never imagined it would come via the two leading lights of democracy for the last 80 years.

I must have missed something. Who is Arnold and what did he do?
When Arnold started as governor of calif he began much like trump: exploiting flaws in the system to rise to a win based on celebrity. He tried to stomp all over the legislature and bully them to meeting his will much like trump. He was slapped down hard by both legislators and electorate. But then... He listened. Wonder of wonders: apologized! He was far from our best governor (and a far worse husband) but he improved with time

Does he not understand that his "absolute right" to do things is not in question? If you want someone to tell you their secrets, you agree not to tell those secrets to other people (even if you have the "absolute right" to do so.) If you go around blabbing about other people's secrets, what are the chances that they will continue to trust you with those secrets?

No, he's too liberal for the Republicans.
He even took the doors off his Hummer to reduce the weight and improve the gas mileage (though I'm not sure it made much difference considering the resulting aerodynamics.)
