Benefits of Being a U. S. State:
1) No universal healthcare.
2) Your kids get shot at in school.
3) You get no disaster relief if you didn’t vote for the malignant crazy person in the Oval Office.
4) Get diarrhea from your food.

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people.
By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s.
Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.

The Brady Bunch: Was Carol Brady A Widow Or A Divorcée? - TVLine
The original plan for "The Brady Bunch" was that Mike was widowed while Carol was divorced, but ABC discouraged the creators from revealing Carol as a divorcée.

Saw a clip of that guy from Staind saying that Bruce Springsteen duped us with Born in the USA because it’s actually not patriotic but I don’t think it’s really duping people to ask them to listen to more than four words of a song

CBS did not just lose its courage. It sold it, wrapped it in corporate language, and handed it to the same rich and powerful people 60 Minutes was supposed to expose.
The show was not canceled because canceling it would have been too obvious.
