Massacre at historic African American Church in Charleston

I've started shopping there a lot less, due to their bad scheduling practices.  If you happen to come in at the wrong time, you can spend 40 minutes to do the simplest shit.

If you go at the wrong time, you're also treated to the freak show to end all freak shows.

And by "wrong time" you mean any time that one steps foot in there?

No, trust me-- there are times way worse than others.

Maybe it is the states in which you frequent. I've never noticed it to be particularly worse at any given hour - and I've been to my version of hell many times.

When I go with my mom to Wally's to pick up yarn I notice, in addition to the expected throng of the chromosonally impaired, a goodly smattering of hipsters.  Probably a different dynamic outside of a college town.

Because populism used to be so pure and righteous.

It gets a bad rap here.  It's really more of a style then anything else, it's opposite is elitism, and if there is one thing that is true about Languish, the people here think they are elite.

Well, elite at snark, anyway.

Hey some of us know the Brazilian ambassador.

The FBI director just announced that the Bureau botched the background check and whatshisname shouldn't have been able to buy a gun.  Something about calling the wrong police department.

[Caliga]

Doh.

Meanwhile in my sisters' world, this repost.

This is what the Confederate Flag is all about!!.. Honor an Respect!!.. Can I get an Amen!!..

Found this on the name on the gravestone:

Saturday, January 23, 1886 Fredericksburg (Virginia) Star newspaper obituary

"Levy Carnine, an old colored man, was buried by the Confederate veterans in Mansfield, La., on Sunday. He was a body servant during the Indian war of 1836, and went faithfully through the late war with the DeSoto, La. Pelican Rifles. After his master was killed he continued to serve his company until the war was over. After the war he became an active Democrat and worked hard to overthrow Radicalism in Louisiana. The veterans of the Pelican Rifles attended his funeral in a body. Peace to his ashes."

And an article espousing that tens of thousands blacks volunteered for the Southern cause (so obviously, this was not about slavery).

My understanding is that black slaves were serving in various non-combat positions in the CSA Army, and while it's not ruled out that some saw combat, the only documented call for volunteers was shortly before the end of the war, answered by a small amount of slaves who never saw combat action.

Your understanding is correct.

You're understanding is correct.

Your usage of you're is despicable.
