I was having the same thought, but remembered this. He was solid in The Spy, very solid.

Also, Biden has some personal experience with addiction that probably makes him wary of the whole thing. But I think it's mostly because he's old.

I believe the Brits call that a "squiff," which, when you think of it, is really just perfect.

So, all this talk of "black ppl bbq" raises the issue of "assimilation." Thatguy's story relates code-switching and behavior designed not to alarm the honkies. In some ways, it's a shame that has to happen, especially because "his people" in most cases were not voluntary immigrants and were essentially forced not to assimilate by not being allowed to participate in society. In other ways, such assimilative behavior is probably a natural and beneficial, maybe, consequence of immigration. It's the melting part of the melting pot. Clearly, those minority/immigrant groups that have not yet or not rapidly assimilated make the majority or minority/majority (e.g. wypipo) very nervous. I think, historically, the "separatism" of a lot of Jewish sects has reinforced anti-Semitism worldwide (it's the Hasids and orthodox that draw the caricatures and less so the more Reformed and secular Jews). And, you hear that kind of complaint ("they don't assimilate") for Muslim immigrants I think especially in Europe. Also, assimilation tends to imply an acceptance of aspects of the minority culture by the majority, so it's a two-way street. I don't think assimilation should be expected or required. But it is what tends to make even us honky, cracker-ass Americans more American than English, French, Scottish, German or Dutch. Kind of a thread-jack, but I have been curious about the role of assimilation by immigrants in "national racism" for a while now.

The problem, right there.

Are "economic clubs" the new name for John Birch Society? He's talking at a lot of em.

I used to sort of intellectually attempt to distinguish between the two, but I don't think there's much difference. If you other them in any way based on skin color, it's racist.

Yeah, "Chitown is one of the good uns." It's the rest of them dirty messkin murderers and rapists you gotta look out for.

Heard a Belgian talking about frites on Rick Steves' show. They fry them twice, once at a lower temp to cook and again at a higher to brown and crisp.

Check this shit out. Can't read the whole thing, but https://christopherrufo.com/p/the-technique-of-reality-suppression The Technique of Reality Suppression How the Left uses propaganda and manipulation to obscure the truth.

A book published 15 years ago contains errors and quotations, sans quotes, of public-domain publications. Big fucking deal. This isn't copyright infringement or an academic paper.

Yeah, another indicator, but as you observed easily altered in "sculptures" and sometimes in real life too.

Also the facial proportions look quite normal. Can't be him.

I believe that originally, dimples formed from the act of donning and doffing the hat. Over time, they were intentionally creased into the hat at sale. So, yeah, in the front.

Well, they've been a thing as long as I can remember, which is not 1952. 1975 sounds about right though.

To wit: "The now eighty or so family stockholders split an estimated $27 million in oil royalties in 1997 plus another $9 million in dividends from the King Ranch corporation itself." Assuming equal ownership, which isn't a good assumption, that's $450k/year for doing nothing, nada, squat, jackshit. I'm sure the family/heirs and stockholders have grown. I am equally sure that the dividends have, too.

1982? Try 1952.

Try renewing your DL these days, as a native born white man.

Well, being a Kleberg, married to one, and spawn of one, there's at least some significant luck involved, if not winnerness.

Would appear to be an entirely separate charge unrelated, or tangentially so, to the disappearance of his wife. https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/embed-test/55851b0a-7030-45c2-9c7d-0ea09fe654d9
