As soon as I read that headline I was like I bet it was somewhere down south.

It ended up being Maryland which is close enough.

I was a bit skeptical about this because only certain liberal leaning sites were reporting it but Bill HR 1313 is real. I googled that bill number and read the actual bill itself.

Scary.

Hopefully she doesn't back down.

It's common sense advice to say it's wise to avoid uncontrolled drunkenness for any person. But during the sentencing of a rapist isn't the time.

I wish we could go back to semi-responsible journalism when it comes to scientific research.

BBC World Service - Newsday, English rugby fans criticised for unofficial anthem

Quote:
England rugby fans have sung "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" at every match since 1988 but US academics have recently criticised their choice of tune, saying the song - a traditional African-American spiritual piece about the desire to escape from slavery - is not being used appropriately.
Utterly pathetic. It will continue to be sung.

Lulz. I guess it doesn't mean the same thing to the English, but I don't imagine most white Americans would sing that song for something as frivolous as a sporting event. Why on earth would the English want to sing it in the first place?

Because some drunk **** started singing it and his drunk friends started joining in to make it less awkward and they just told everyone that it was a thing for the team to save him from the embarrassment. I'm sure there are several British sitcoms about it.

It just sounds good being sung by so many people, lots of famous songs are quite popular or get reworded and this sort of thing is a big part of fan culture, no disrespect is intended, they just like the song.
