You need to hang out with Seedy and watch MSNBC.  He'll learn ya.

Wasn't that that book about women in business?  I seem to remember some grumbling from the Jezebel side of the force when the author made a statement about who she hoped more men in top positions would mentor women last year.

"Check your privilege" (and identity based purity politics in general) is meant to check coalition-building among the subaltern populations, so that they never unite to challenge their exploitation, while giving liberal academics something to write papers about.  "Lean in" is meant to reframe one manifestation of that exploitation ("chain yourself to your desk, woman!") as a form of empowerment.

What Margaret Cho quote?  :hmm:

"Please Raz, put away the gun, I swear I won't make any more films".
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

My friend is Irish.  Which is weird.  You'd expect some perspective on the fluidity of racial resentment from an Irishman.

Is the Irish guy the Red?

Also her speaking style is: interesting.

She starts around 1:03:00 but *really* gets going around 1:07:00.

Well, that was painful.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Racial politics in High School and College debate are just as fucking stupid as you'd expect them to be.

I did that cross the line activity for the first time in high school. At one point, a girl stated that she didn't realism that racism still occurred, she thought it was just a historical thing.
You aren't accusing me of saying this?

Am I known for mincing words? :unsure:

Sorry.  After the whole fracas on my FB I am pretty paranoid about any kind of perceived accusations of racism.
