He told her he was headed back home to North Dakota, and the lady paused for a bit and then asked "isn't that right next to Alaska?" Needless to say, my dad was a bit concerned that he would never make it home.

    Also, I was just asked on Tuesday by an attorney here in Colorado of whether I was from Canada...based solely on how I said the word "about."

      We'd be remiss not to include the actual quote, which is great:

      Jeff Stein: Which American communities are under Sharia law? When did they fall under Sharia law?

      Roy Moore: Well, there's Sharia law, as I understand it, in Illinois, Indiana — up there. I don't know.

      Jeff Stein: That seems like an amazing claim for a Senate candidate to make.

      Roy Moore: Well, let me just put it this way — if they are, they are; if they're not, they're not. That doesn't matter. Oklahoma tried passing a law restricting Sharia law, and it failed. Do you know about that?

      Jeff Stein: No, I don't.
      Roy Moore is raping puppies. I have no proof, but if he is, he is; if he's not, he's not.

        The greatest off the cuff witticism I ever heard was from a waitress in South Dakota in 1988. My best friend and I were driving cross-country and stopped into a diner. She asked where we were traveling and I said "We started in New York City and we're driving to San Francisco." Literally without missing a beat she said, "Well if I was you I'd have started later and I'd finish sooner."

                  Found this in a serial I'm reading:
                  Mr. Sarcastic: Nothing, you well know, is so rare as the coincidence of theory and practice. A man who “will go through fire and water to serve a friend” in words, will not give five guineas to save him from famine. A poet will write Odes to Independence, and become the obsequious parasite of any great man who will hire him. A burgess will hold up one hand for purity of election, while the price of his own vote is slyly dropped into the other. I need not accumulate instances ... This then is my system. I ascertain the practice of those I talk to, and present it to them as from myself, in the shape of theory: the consequence of which is, that I am universally stigmatised as a promulgator of rascally doctrines. Thus I said to Sir Oliver Oilcake, “When I get into Parliament I intend to make the sale of my vote as notorious as the sun at noon-day. I will have no rule of right, but my own pocket. I will support every measure of every administration, even if they ruin half the nation for the purpose of restoring the Great Lama, or of subjecting twenty millions of people to be hanged, drawn, and quartered at the pleasure of the man-milliner of Mahomet’s mother. I will have ship-loads of turtle and rivers of Madeira for myself, if I send the whole swinish multitude to draft and husks.” (Melincourt, chapter xxi)

                            I'm sure Drew or Flag will be along shortly to explain, again, why this is a good thing because "slippery slope", or "what mental conditions would apply and who would make the call?", or "liberal doctors could use this to punish conservative patients by falsely diagnosing them with MDD", or whatever. #2A above all else, no matter what.

                              Elie Mystal says it all.

                              And so there is an opportunity here. The only reason President Obama pushed through DACA with an executive order is because Republicans in Congress decided that black men don’t get to be president. Well, now Obama is gone. Congressional Republicans don’t have the excuse of standing up to Kenyans. Now we have a chance of getting DACA through normal legislation, which is how our system is supposed to work in the first place.

                              Obama saved Republicans from taking a tough vote that pitted basic human decency against the rabid bigotry of their base. Trump has now screwed Republicans who don’t want to be known as the party who deports children, but also don’t want to **** off white guys who lack empathy.

                              Congress can’t “save” DACA so much as they can DO THEIR JOB and reform our immigration policies so that children who were brought here by their parents are not EXILED back to a country they don’t remember living in.

                              Donald Trump is keeping his campaign promise to racists. They’re going to love him for it. Congressional Republicans can go buy some tiki torches and join the party, OR they can risk ****ing off their base to do the right thing.

                              I’m sure it’s a tough choice for them. And I bet that right now, they wish they had Barack Obama back. He did a lot to cover their asses.
