NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 2)

He’s actually a hybrid neo-nazi and white supremacist. Those two groups were originally at odds but have coalesced based on a shared hatred of pretty much everyone with a different skin tone or accent. They’d turn on each other in a second without careful guidance from right wing organizers and provokers.

I was guessing they figure ghosts are involved somehow.

In the early-'70s the ToM ‘bumper stickers’ were cardboard and were tied to bumpers with baling wire.

Putting Cawthorn to one side, as I’m sure many of us would like to do: my ignorance was fought today as I’d never before heard of Trees of Mystery. Sounds as though their parking-lot aggressions are not to their credit—but that sky ride looks pretty cool…

The “constitutional sheriff” in Del Norte County, California, has been charged with voter fraud for registering to vote in the county even though his legal residence is in Fresno County, half a state away.

bear in mind that “half a state” does not put a very clear picture in many people’s heads. The distance between the lower right hand corner of Del Norte county and the upper left hand corner of Fresno county is comparable to the distance between Boston and Baltimore.

good point.

If you can’t picture that distance [Boston to Baltimore], it’s 4,208 furlongs if you’re more familiar with that frame of reference. It’s also 379,214 smoots if that’s how you hang.

My favorite unit of measure. Not just for the origin story but the career arc of Oliver Smoot.

Oliver Smoot graduated from MIT with the class of 1962, became a lawyer, and later became chairman of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI, 2001–02)[8] and then, president of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO, 2003–04).[1][9] He is a “distant relative” of Nobel Prize in Physics winner George Smoot.

I’ve travelled across the Harvard Bridge many times and seen the Smoot markings.

Maria Bartiromo of Fox claims, “Some people have told me over the weekend that they feel that, at the end of the day, this administration does not see Putin as the enemy, they see him as a partner!”
Funny how she didn’t name any of these people.

Smoots have nothing on decimetres.

Before or after they kissed?

Eh. They’re no dunams.

What about the poronkusema?

Um, yeah. He’s straight.

Did it say how many smoots removed he is?

But Comrade Vlad is soooo hottt !

How about beard-seconds?

The point is smoot.

Being a Cali native, I knew the distance between Del Norte County and Fresno far more instinctively than the distance between Boston and Baltimore.
