The tyranny of the majority. :yuck:
Whatever happened to that legislation proposing to make "Roadrunner" the state song?
Stalled, because some idiot legislator offered up a competing bill at the last moment to make Aeroshit's "Dream On" ( :rolleyes: ) the state song, and got enough of a voting bloc behind him that an otherwise unanimous-consent vote would've had to waste half a week's session with real cloture and roll call vote to pass. Obviously not a good use of the Legislature's time to have a drag-out debate about a fluff bill like this, so tabling it altogether was probably the prudent move.

Aeroshit...that band from New Hampshire. I'm guessing that guy only listens to conservative talk radio in the car and only owns 4 CD's--all Best of's--by Clapton, Aeroshit, and a couple other Classic Rock dinosaurs. It's like if my brother were elected to office (thank God he never bothered to register to vote).



I'm somewhat surprised nobody offered any competing bills for "Sweet Caroline" and "More Than A Feeling". If your elected officials are representative of the brain stems of the electorate, it would make perfect sense for their musical apprectiation to be just as deep. :shifty:

That can't be accurate. America is a post-racial society.

The best part of Obama's election and re-election was that it made every coon/fried chicken/watermelon joke cool again because, hey, it's political satire now.

The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League is one of the roughest places to come up as a prospect for any player-of-color. Habs fans may not be the nearly the goons old-time Bruins fans are/were, but they spew a shocking share of racist garbage and seem even more unaware of themselves when they do it. Fuck do they (and their media market) still carry around some disgusting attitudes.
Not just conservatives (political sense), but any Francophone nationalists, who tend to be social democrats. People of colour from Francophone nations (e.g., Haiti) who live in Quebec are treated abysmally by the nationalists. Those immigrants aren't "the right type" of French *wink wink*. I used to be neutral on French nationalism in this country, but it's been so contaminated by xenophobia and racism and anti-semitism that if they ever did win a vote to separate I'd support the most punitive deal imaginable.

The irony of that photo is that she's inviting Internet vigilante justice upon herself.

That doesn't surprise. The only mystery is whether mom and dad did it or she got freaked out by the unwanted attention.

Maybe it's time to see a doctor if you've taken to huffing paint in your sleep. :hmm:

Coincidentally, the headquarters of the Boston Archdiocese is directly across the street from the BC campus. :shifty:
