Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

Sophia -- I listen to the How Stuff Works guys, and the affiliated podcasts, Stuff You Missed in History Class and Stuff Mom Never Told You (which is feminism-lite, with a lot of history and science and culture and gender talk). They're not all awesome, but most of them are SFW.

UT Austin and North Dakota State Univ. have both evacuated their entire campuses in response to bomb threats. WTF people.

Somebody put crazy in the water. I suspect Mitt Romney.

Actual Elephant 2016!!

My History Can Beat Up Your Politics is work-safe and incredibly educational. (And non-partisan, which is a pretty amazing feat for a political podcast.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I saw someone misspell Romney as Rmoney and I can't stop laughing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I...wow. Kansas WTF.

I almost want them to do it. It would call attention to just how crazy the Republican party has become, as well as draw attention to their attempts to disenfranchise Democratic voters in general.

Or maybe I'm just excessively surly today.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I would totally vote for an Actual Elephant over most of the buffoons that generally get run. I mean, I would vote for Zaphod Beeblebrox over most candidates. At least then I'd have some hope that the whole shebang was being run by someone in a hut somewhere.

So yeah, the original thread was from 1997. World Crossing was in 2001. So we've been on the "new board" for quite some time now!

In case anyone is wondering, Elephant beats Donkey in a Google fight.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I am ignoring Kansas today.

But Rmoney is golden.

If the GOP ran an actual elephant it would win Kansas.

Even if it was born in Africa?

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

I think I'd have to vote Actual Elephant over Actual Donkey.
