The Monty-Pythonness of it all negated the distress I felt for the puppy.

A petition by Color of Change, an influential advocacy organization, accused Oxygen of trying to profit from "inaccurate, dehumanizing, and harmful perceptions of Black families."

The form-letter petition goes on:

Research shows that inflammatory images like these can result in real world consequences for our families, including less attention from doctors, harsher sentencing by judges, lower likelihood of being hired or admitted to school, lower odds of getting loans, and a higher likelihood of getting shot by police.

Is it wrong that whenever I hear a story about necrophilia that the first thing that occurs to me is, "Was the perpetrator a woman?" and the second thing is "Was she hot?"

It does look bad though... if someone can't even pull their pants up all the way how can I take them seriously? Makes them look like a huge douchebag.

They aren't really. The old fogies at the Black Mental Health Alliance of Massachusetts are just quoting an old, vague law in an attempt to get the young whippersnappers to pull up their pants.

The idea of public school is that God and religion are left out of it. But of course the people in the Arizona government are all crazy.

They also need to learn about the separation of Church and State... most Republicans should learn about that, actually.

I'd take the the oath, but replace "Constitution of the United States" with "Chancellor of the Third Reich" or possibly "Chairman of the Politburo".
