And why is it that all our elite journos keep being this horrific?

Big law is one of the most small-c conservative cultures I've ever seen. We're talking about people still double spacing after periods. They will not surrender their oversized corner offices easily.

Oh that's such a great spot, enjoy the game.

There are secret police here grabbing people off the streets for being brown, my brother. Read the room.

In my lifetime, most state education was free or unbelievably cheap. Tuition at Illinois was $100 an hour plus books. Food, rent, everything was covered by less than 10k in loans, which were federally guaranteed and cost less than 5% in interest.

We can do better than rehashed third way bullshit

You know exactly what "half of Americans can't buy new tires" means.

That was basically Harold Bloom's entire theory of artistic creation.

Not only that, Buddhism was likely iconoclastic until Greek art/statuary depicted him as Hercules

"gold fillings from teeth pay for deportations"

"They've got the power/ but we have the meat"--traditional labor song

Then go be a useless senator there

"Mr President, the people need to know: what does the cow say?"

The hangings as well
