There's a reason the Third World came in third.

Whenever I visit an industrialized nation that isn't the United States, it immediately becomes apparent how much more educated and informed and aware of international events their citizens are compared to Americans.

the fact that they stole their whole shtick from Woody Guthrie and the coal-mining bards. While the alternative nation meows about personal fashion angst, the Appalachian nation still sings about unemployment.

In a perverse way, it's very patriarchal to think that women can't be malicious or violent.

I was exposed to violence while I was still in the womb - my father punched my mother in the stomach while she was pregnant with me.
