    Ethnic pride is pretty idiotic. 

    Black pride got started because the Black population had been denigrated and oppressed for so long that many longed to be anything but Black. Black Pride was a remedy for a real problem and did  lot of good.

    White pride or Asian pride or Irish pride (other than as whimsy) do not equate. With every good occurence, stupid occurences follow. 

    Well, there's pride and there's puro pride.

    Cleetus, in Moulton, Alabama, who wants to leave his job stocking the local grocery story to assemble iPhones in the factory soon to be built in Birmingham.

    Cleetus will assemble Mardi Gras beads and he'll like it.

    Trump is clearly mentally unwell at this point. This is a bunch of people taking advantage of a pathetic elderly man with not much going on up there. 

    He's exactly who America voted for.  There a few in America who are move situated to fuck things up like he is. 

    The "he's elderly and being taken advantage of" has the double danger of a) reminding Americans who the Dems protected last cycle and b) blames the problems on stupidty/age/etc.

    (Or you're just being sarcastic and I'm missing the sarcasm.)

    You and I both know he's going to live to age 104.

    This is just such a dumb issue.  He clearly has enough energy to appear to be able to do this job.  He's evil and a lunatic but he's 10x more involved than Biden and harping on this just elevates the issue.. 

    Next fucking issue.  Which should be making sure every contested race in the future has a decent, marketable, Dem candidate.

    This isn't just academics. Duke isn't Stanford when it comes to academics, but it is close. Stanford wins a lot of titles in sports that no one cares about. Duke has (I think) 5 men's basketball titles. 

    Hopefully it goes without saying that if you draw a circle around the idea of the pure value of the actual undergrad education (excluding the prestige of the piece of paper), Stanford is not any better than anywhere else.  Educating undergrads is low on the priority of Stanford professors, and most professors at research schools

    If you do throw the whole picture in, there is no place like Stanford. Grad schools, connections, numbers of sports, home of Olympians, relative success in sports, passable success in the big three, connections, the fucking weather, and connections. 

    The conference realignment is cause for concern, but to me, less so in terms of not having a place to play football then it affecting the plethora of sports and especially having Olympians there.

  6. Should Gov. Murphy be trying to have the largest immigration detention center in NJ?  Wouldn't one phase of an orderly immigration process be to house people awaiting citizenship in a reasonable facility, i.e., not Libya?

  7. I'm going to stop the gallows humor in regard to the deportation.  

    Trump let the vileness out.  It was always there, but some norms kept it contained.

    Going to take some generations to put it back in.
