Dean Wormer sat back in his chair, feeling warm chills of pleasure course through his body. "And I'm sure you'll be glad to hear that I've already notified your local draft boards and told them that all of you are now eligible for military service."

Naturally the new pope of 2025 is going to bitch about Trump's immigration policies mainly because the church makes a fortune (through USAID and other gov't agencies) on processing immigrants.

There used to be a website called "The Consumerist" that had a regular feature listing products that were being shrunk in volume while maintaining the same price. 7 oz of coffee for 3.99 became 6.3 oz of coffee for 3.99, and so on over time. "The Consumerist" is now of course no longer in business.

I've seen interviews with Laurie where he revealed that the producers were concerned about his accent before his audition, which I think proves that they knew who he was and how he talked normally. I've watched the whole series and there are plenty of examples of Laurie speaking loudly and clearly in what sounds to me like a flawless (if bland) American accent.

It would be funny if, once it becomes undeniable that the IP is worthless, they absolutely returned to the original roots and made the show about a little old man teaching children about history.

Considering what insurance/government assistance likely pays in situations like this, the surgeons performing the mutilations are doing so for basically peanuts. They could make far more money doing useful procedures and feel far more virtuous treating real illness or injury in poor people for free or at reduced cost. It seems a classic devil's deal.

I'm all "Gandalf looking confused" meme...what'd I miss here?

Edit: Never mind, I just couldn't believe it was as pathetic as it is. Trump called her a birdbrain. I doubt that anybody on Team Trump has even thought about her since then.

I'd vote for that, certainly; all-day video recordings in every classroom, camera completely protected and tamper-proof, recordings monitored and stored by third-party companies with oversight from at least two political parties and destruction or modification of said recordings resulting in civil and criminal prosecution.

Evidently the Aztec angle has always been a popular aspect of that nationalist movement; understandably, since absent the disease element, the Spanish conquest of the Americas might have gone more like Vietnam did for us (or so my amateur study of history suggests.)

I remember reading in the 1990s that the Aztlan movement organizers frequently made reference to anti-Semitic ideas along with their other plans for reconquista of much of the southwest United States.
