Good Point
From conservative columnist Kathleen Parker:
And yes, it's cheese grits. The added 'y,' while somewhat Jossian, is also...well... rather cheesy.
And I did vote in the primary yesterday. At least I voted in the Bacchus/Beason race because, while Bacchus is an insider trading asshole, Beason is the guy who called African-American Alabamians "aborigines" a few months ago and who also wrote the racist immigration bill. Given the impossibility of an opposing party candidate winning in the fall, I felt I had to vote... for the insider trader. Guess being unethical is (marginally) better than being an overt, unapologetic racist. *head desk*
“Mornin’, y’all,” said Mitt Romney recently to a Mississippi crowd. He started his day off right, he said, with “a biscuit and some cheesy grits.” That would be cheese grits, but never mind. Would Romney greet an audience at a Jewish Community Center with: “Oy vey, did I ever enjoy my loxies and bagels this morning!”? Or African Americans with: “Yo, dawg, wassup?”
Actually, yes, he might. Forever tattooed in the memory is the image of Romney approaching an African American baby at a 2008 Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade. Pointing to the baby’s necklace, he said: “What’s happening? You got some bling-bling here!”

Ugh. Our choices suck so often, don't they?

Because we all know that show was just so historically correct and relevant to our lives and stuff.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT: Nelson J Dukakis, during his campaign to become president, didn't once eat pizza, lutefisk, or soul food in order to pander to various voter groups. Instead, he chose to make rational arguments to appeal to their intelligence.
Nelson J Dukakis didn't get ONE SINGLE VOTE!
Four years of college? I don't remember a thing. Old comics I read when I was 12? I can recall them in detail. Stupid brain.
ETA: What I meant to say - Reality: now 100% more bizarre than parodies of it.

And seeing this morning that Judge Roy (I rule by the 10 commandments!) Moore got his ass back into contention, it makes me wish I hadn't skipped that part of ballot (Primarily because I didn't know whether I might accidentally vote for someone worse....
I know!
