Weekend Open Thread
The results of lifting weights being seen as “fat shaming”? This adds to other arguments being advanced of what constitutes fat shaming, such as informing people of proper eating habits, of the need to exercise, or of the appreciation of a woman wearing swimwear (20th Century standards). This meme is an example of people fighting back against this argument. Enjoy your weekend!

Oh, all knowing and wise Magic 8 Ball, will the stars shine down upon a worthy Director of Media Relations for a proud but humble woman owned company to maintain his strong and benevolent grip upon his subjects in the colonies known as This Ain’t Hell, allowing King Hack to remain on the throne and retain the title of First Post on The Weekend Open Thread? Magic 8-Ball says…
FORMAL PROTEST! Time stamp showed exactly the same time of the post! The updates that TVI made the other night gave the crayon munching Stoned Hacker an inside path with his outdated Y3K Software to steal the Thunder from The King of Battle for the Coveted TAH Friday Weekend Open Thread FIRST. Me thinks that there was warm beer or Scot’s Whiskey involved here.
You keep bitching and Hack Stone will have Homeland Security on your ass faster than you can say All Points Logistics.
Does this mean Hack Stone is on the payroll of All-Points Logistics? 😁
Happy weekend, all you dickweeds!
Drop your dime…won’t take ’em long to get here, since…they’re already here…surrounding FB Magnolia on all sides. To the east is the white gal divorcee’ posing as a grandmother raising her grandchild and her adult son. SW corner is the blaq chick gran’ma posing as a state court clerk officer, “working from home”. To the west is the retired widow woman and her care taker daughter. The overall handler claims to be a yard man that sure cuts the grass often. Odd how the leggy Ms Brunette Thang UPS driver is asking why marked boxes of ammo are arriving since that tragic boat accident (an occurrence that I’ve never mentioned to her…hmmm). She’s also curious over the food shipments from MPS. Sister Golden Haired Surprise FedEx Ms Thang ask “How many dogs do you have” every time she delivers more boxes from Chewy…Hmmm The deer grazing just beyond the North Wall seem to have an almost robotic walk about them and they never blink.
And then there’s this….hmmmm

“Woman’s Box Of Giraffe Poop That She Was Planning On Making Into A Necklace Seized At Minneapolis Airport”
https://nypost.com/2023/10/05/womans-box-of-giraffe-poop-seized-at-minneapolis-airport/
“A woman was stopped by Customs and Border Patrol officers at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport last week after she was found with giraffe poop that she planned to make into a necklace.”
“The droppings were seized by border officials on Sept. 29 after a woman returning from Kenya declared the animal feces, prompting an inspection by CBP agriculture specialists.”
“The passenger stated that she obtained the droppings while on her trip and intended to make a necklace.”
“She told CBP officers that she had previously used moose poop to make jewelry at her home in Iowa.”
“Animal feces from Kenya could contain African Swine Fever, Classical Swine Fever, Newcastle disease, Foot and Mouth disease, and Swine Vesicular Disease.”
“A Veterinary Services Permit is required to bring feces into the United States.”
This Ebay Dude not only sells Cotton Candy Giraffe Poo, but also Otto, Seal, Elephant, Gorilla, Penguin, Orca, Dinosaur, Unicorn, Dolphin, Lion and Narwhale Poo:

I’m glad you mentioned the poop deal ninja, so now I got the whole poop on the poop deal and am now pooped out typing this….
Jeff:
😆😅🤣😂😆😅🤣😂😆😅🤣😂😆😅🤣!!!
She coulda had a pearl necklace. Apparently she is confused as to what that actually is.
AIN’T THAT a cute little box of doo-doo?
It’s funny watching gym culture and the resulting memes fighting back against wokeness. There’s the “Chad” versus the “Soy Boy”.
Then you have people like Joey Swoll tackling the toxicity that comes with some gym-types. It seems that there’s a bunch of (mostly female) TikTok and other “influencers” who love calling out guys for daring to glance at them or walk past their phone.
Reminds me that I pay for AnyTime Fitness and need to quit being lazy. I’m still young and fit enough to get “gains” without gaining pounds.
On station.
Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear dresses to troll the Woke Left.

Happy 100th Birthday, BG Norman C. Gaddis…We Salute You! 🎂🥂🎈🎉
“Retired Air Force Brigadier General, Vietnam POW Celebrates 100th Birthday In Louisburg”
https://www.cbs17.com/news/local-news/vietnam-prisoner-of-war-celebrates-100th-birthday-louisburg-north-carolina/
“Retired Air Force Brigadier General Norman C. Gaddis celebrated his 100th birthday in Louisburg on Saturday.”
“Nearly 200 friends, family, dignitaries as well as current and former military members gathered at the Triangle North Executive Airport in Franklin County to celebrate the former Vietnam Prisoner of War.”
“Norman Gaddis was born in 1923 in Dandridge, Tennessee and enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1942. He entered the Aviation Cadet Program in July 1943, receiving his commission as a 2nd Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Air Forces in 1944.”
“In November 1966, General Gaddis began flying combat missions in Vietnam. He was forced to eject over North Vietnam while flying his 73rd combat mission on May 12, 1967. He spent more than six years as a Prisoner of War of the North Vietnamese and was released during Operation Homecoming on March 4, 1973.”
“General Gaddis retired from the Air Force in 1976 with more than 4,300 flying hours. He flew aircraft including the P-40 Warhawk, P-47 Thunderbolt, P-51 Mustang, F-80 Shooting Star, F-84 Thunderjet, F-86 Sabre, F-100 Super Sabre, F-4 Phantom II, T-33, T-34 Mentor, and T-38 Talon.”
Salute indeed. I wonder of all the planes he flew if he had one he loved and one he hated.
Just like all the chatter I see from the “big is beautiful” crowd: “if you go to the gym, you’re fat phobic!”
I’m not AFRAID of you, Chubby. I just dont wanna look like you. I retired 6 years ago from the Corps and lift 4x a week with the wife. I’m in better shape NOW than I was as a Gunny in 2d MarDiv. I just prefer to be able to still wear my uniform if I so choose to.
Just in… Kids in Michigan will soon be able to use “medicinal marijuana” in school:

This is going to work out SO well.
Back in my day if you wanted to go to class HAF, You had to smoke in your car in the parking lot, allegedly. This just removes a step.
A two-fer for Hack Stone! Incredible! A photo finish with the King of Battle … the race track should be this exciting! And with all that said, I apologize for the lateness of the trivia, but I was “on assignment” for the Daily Planet today. Here ’tis, friends, and enjoy!
DID YOU KNOW…?
What were the first musical instruments ever played in space?
By Commissioner Wretched
didyouknowcolumn@gmail.com
Sometimes I say too much for my own good, and other times I don’t say enough.
A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned the Lewis and Clark expedition and how only one member died. I had a line which said, “Despite the unknown territory, hostile Natives, and questionable food and lodging…” and it turns out I made a rather egregious omission.
When the expedition emerged from the Bitterroot Mountains in very bad shape, they were taken in by friendly Nez Perce and given a feast, shown hospitality and given help with tools to continue their journey.
Not all of the natives were hostile; the Nez Perce were a godsend to the expedition.
I stand corrected, and I thank my dear friend who pointed it out to me. Now, for this week!
Did you know …
… the famous mascot of Notre Dame University was a little different when it was created? When the school decided to use a leprechaun as its emblem for the “Fighting Irish,” an artist named Ted Drake (1907-2000) was commissioned to create the image. Drake’s original depiction is used today, except for one thing – the artist included a bottle of whiskey at the leprechaun’s feet. The school asked that the booze be removed, and it was. (That’s why the leprechaun is so fighting mad, you see.)
… baseball card photos are taken during spring training? For most of the companies that produce such collectibles, photos of players are taken with caps on, and with caps off – just in case the player is traded to another team. (The card printers are also wizards with the airbrush, taking out team logos from shirts as needed.)
… an animal rights group really takes itself seriously? PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) once asked the musical group Pet Shop Boys to change their name to Rescue Shelter Boys. (I’ll let you guess what the group’s answer was.)
… three out of every four products available in a supermarket contain corn? (I could say the same thing about my jokes, you know. I might as well. Everybody else says it.)
… stores take advantage of you during the Christmas holidays? While you probably already knew that, you may not have known this: retailers have been known to use aromas linked with Christmas to make you buy more. For example, some stores are known to use the smell of roasting chestnuts in their stores and offer free samples of Christmas cookies. The aroma stimulates the salivary glands and makes shoppers hungry … and you buy more of everything, not just food. (Now that’s a dirty trick. Clever, but dirty.)
“three out of every four products available in a supermarket contain corn.”
We watched a video about corn…that everything comes from corn to not only the food we eat, but also fuel, makeup, toys, etc…
https://www.iowacorn.org/education/corn-its-everything
… the first musical instruments played in space were a harmonica and bells? During the flight of Gemini 6 in December of 1965, command pilot Wally Schirra (1923-2007) told Mission Control that he spotted “an object, looks like a satellite going from north to south in a polar orbit.” Then the delighted people at Mission Control heard the song “Jingle Bells” being played on a harmonica with bell accompaniment. Schirra and his co-pilot, Tom Stafford (born 1930) smuggled the instruments aboard their ship before liftoff and played for the upcoming Christmas holiday. The instruments are now in the Smithsonian Insititute in Washington. (And in case you were wondering, the “satellite” Schirra was talking about was driven by a little old man with eight tiny reindeer.)
… the world came close to being sent back to the 19th Century in 2012? A coronal mass ejection, or an output of tremendous waves of radiation from the Sun, missed Earth by just nine days. The event happened on the Sun on July 23, but because Earth was not in the direct path of the material, it did no real damage. Had that coronal mass ejection interacted with our planet, the entire satellite system would have gone out, significant damage would have been done to the world’s electrical systems, and one researcher said the total damages done could have had a $2.6 trillion price tag. (And that, my friends, would have been a very bad day.)
… it is possible to walk from Delaware to California? A coast-to-coast hiking trail called the American Discovery Trail runs a total of 6,800 miles beginning in Cape Henlopen, Delaware, and running across the continental United States to its end near San Francisco, California. The trail passes through Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah and Nevada. (It’s possible to walk, but it will take you a while.)
Cape Henlopen, Delaware to San Francisco California…
Wonder where the halfway point is for Ole Joey Biden Boy and Plastic Woman Nancy Pelosi to meet…😉😎
The River Styx…
I can’t wait to have those two take a ride on my boat…
Congress blows that much annually.
(Take that as you will.)
A bargain in today’s dollars 😏
… the first automobile sold with a closed-in body was marketed in 1905? It was a car known as the Osceola, the first to offer solid protection from outside elements. The car was designed by Henry Leland (1843-1932), who later went on to establish both the Lincoln Motor Company and the Cadillac Automobile Company. (On those rainy or very cold mornings, now you know who you have to thank for a closed-in car.)
… the Germans have developed a tool which breaks eggs perfectly? It’s called an (take a deep breath before you try to say it) Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher. (Which is German for, “It’s easier and cheaper to break the egg on the side of the frying pan.”)
… only two nations in the Western Hemisphere have French as their official language? One is Canada, where the language shares “official” billing with English. The other is Haiti. Additional trivia note: French Guiana, on the coast of South America, does indeed use French – but it is not a nation. It is a colony of France. (Thought you had me there, didn’t you?)
… the least common day on which to be born is May 22? By comparison, the most common day is September 16. In fact, more people are born in September than any other month. (Your humble correspondent being amongst them.)
Now … you know!
“In fact, more people are born in September than any other month.”
Well, we learn something new.
Most folks we know are born in January!
😉😎
Video Tutorial: How To Use A Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher:
https://youtu.be/Fd7uhYXCBqY?feature=shared
That was hilarious. And no, even after listening to that guy, I still can’t pronounce Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher
Vell eezn’t zat a neat bunch of escherechenvootenfritenfester? Hey, I recently found that GOTTERDAMERUNG is NOT German for “The %$^&*^%$@! phone is ringing!”.
What were their parents doing over the Christmas/New Years holidays?
Had three kids, all within two weeks in November. Used to tell people “I’ve already heard all the February jokes”. (An E-6 I knew suggested I find a spitter in February…a swallower would be pushing my luck.)
Spiked eggnog = kids
I was just about to say something similar.
If you have to ask…
Concerning sept births, blame it on the holidays and the cold. Not much to do outside, so stay and, well, you figure it out.
“ … only two nations in the Western Hemisphere have French as their official language? One is Canada, where the language shares “official” billing with English. The other is Haiti. Additional trivia note: French Guiana, on the coast of South America, does indeed use French – but it is not a nation. It is a colony of France. (Thought you had me there, didn’t you?)”
Those may be the only two in the Americas, but there are many others in the Western Hemisphere, proper, for which French is the official language:
Guinea, Côte d’Ivoire, and Senegal are all entirely in the Western Hemisphere. An argument can be made that French Polynesia is, at least nominally, a “country,” too (but this is only nominal, and I wouldn’t consider it a “nation” in its own right).
Burkina Faso, Togo, and even European France itself are partially in the Western Hemisphere.
I probably missed a few.
You got me. I was referencing the Americas … dang. And me a retired history teacher at that.
I’ll correct that in the column introduction soon.
Good catch. Thank you!
“Fighting Irish”…
SFC D Knows The Drill….😆
I admit nothing. Call my lawer. Not a single indictment in my 60 years on earth. 😉
Well… there was an incident at the CP Humphreys NCO club when a young PFC attempted to grab my Stetson…
😆🤣😅😂🤭🫡
I love that story!
Photo shopped finish is what it wuz, CW. Upon posting both entries read “8 seconds ago”. A nefarious plot by TVI and the Hackster. How did HS get to Jolly Ol’ England? You know that if HS’s Company can’t keep the Company Car on the road or afford a door for the mailbox, they certainly aren’t going to spring for plane tickets. Dave’s boat is not at the slip. The servers are on Dave’s boat, in the closet behind The Soviets lingerie chest. Make of that what you will. “on assignment”? pffft! Trying not to scoop Lois Lane, you were scoping out Lois Lane, ya dog!
There is an excellent Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center in Nebraska City NE. On a journey there, back in ’15 I followed a good portion of the path thru MO. When I crossed over Big Tater Creek that was feeding Roach Lake, I didn’t know if I would need butter, bug spray, or a clip.
Another fine j.o.b on the trivia. We Thank you, Good Sir

Noticed you put the winners of tomorrow’s games FIRST (ht2…HEEM!), ninja. I may and or may not be able to watch some of the games on broadcast. UGA will spank UK, Tide & Aggies will be a saloon brawl, Army will bean Bawstun, and FSU will scalp VT.
You may have noticed “that guy” has not offered up any victuals and/or refreshing beverages for his (dis)loyal subjects as of yet…if EVAH? Repast at Firebase Magnolia includes Southern Style Beef Beast Meat Loaf, steamed rice, French Cut Green Beans with bacon, Real Cornbread, fudge pudding cookies, along with the usual assortment of beverages including the House Wine…Sweet Iced Tea.

Why is my trivia column “awaiting approval”???
Probably some outdated Red Hat Software lurking somewhere in a database!
Curse you, outdated Red Hat Software!
I can’t even finish uploading it until it gets out here where everybody can see it …
Was it something I said?
We encountered the same problem as you did, CW…and we did not post 3 links…happened to us several times…we thought perhaps a word triggered the “awaiting approval”…
API most likely nailed it…”Outdated Red Hat software”! 😆😅🤣😂
Hang In There! You are doing an excellent job!
😁
I claim twentieth as I award myself yet another Honorary First.
((((OVER))))
Epstein did not kill himself.
WE STILL haven’t seen even one name from Epstein’s list.
We still haven’t seen the shooter’s manifesto.

This is Hilarious…
Yes, this is a Saturday Night Live skit.
The skit (about 4 minutes long) is about White and Black newscasters reporting the local news while trying not to react to the race of each news topic.
Enjoy. We Did!
Too funny.
I’m shocked, shocked that SNL was actually comical. 😳😜🤣
FIRST THIRTISH
Monday, as someone just told me is Columbus Day. A day when leftists will be peacefully out and about.
I have to wonder why the leftists hate Columbus. I believe Winston Churchill said that Columbus was the first socialist. Churchill said something like this, “Columbus was the first socialist. He didn’t know where he was going when he left, he didn’t know where he was when he got there. and he got someone else to pay for the trip.”
I’m pretty sure he was banging Queen Isabella. And aren’t we supposed to call it “Indigenous Peoples Day”?
It will always be Chritmas, Easter, independence day, Columbus day memorial day veterans day. Let those easily offended by us for not calling these holidays by “their ” preferred phrase just remain offended.
You’ll get no argument from me!
Why? Did the natives do something noteworthy on that day?
Ask the progressive/liberal Columbus haters, I’m just trying to keep up!
I am sure the Pretendian “Phony” Phil Monkress (CEO of All-Points Logistics) will be participating.
Our local government does not recognize “White Conqueror Day”.
Today’s Stolen Valor quiz…
What’s wrong with this [POST 23] license plate?
Some of you can piece this together,
on the license plate alone.
Good luck.
HINT – There is a plaque on a wall
at a place for veterans
that looks almost exactly like this.
The plaque for second place is in the lady’s room…
SFC D,
See answer to the quiz,
including the plaque, at the bottom.
🙂
is that a 21 or 23? The picture is blurry on my screen.
American Legion post 21 is in CA, 23 is in CA
VFW post 21 is in PA, post 23 is in PA
Amvets post 21 is in FL, post 23 is in MI
I don’t think that is a CA, PA, FL, nor MI plate.
Dennis,
You’re already gettin’ warm.
It’s [POST 23]. I took the photo this morning.
Great guess on the Pennsylvania plate,
even with the chrome license plate frame.
🙂
Dennis,
Also, American Legion post numbers are issued at the state level,
with multiple redundant post numbers all over the USA.
Good news, this is NOT American Legion related.
(consider this another hint).
🙂
VFW?
Odie,
Yes.
Gettin’ warmer!
Can you piece together the license plate,
and the 2 additional hints?
🙂
Plate is too blurry regular size, worse blown up.
FoE lodge?
Odie,
I said YES to VFW.
lolol
Now, look again at the PLAQUE.
🙂
Odie,
It’s not a “FW” series VFW org plate.
It’s a regular custom PA license plate,
with the custom lettering [POST 23].
You guys are almost there.
Figure out the meaning of the PLAQUE,
and you can solve this quiz.
🙂
Sorry, but the plaque pic resolution on my tablet gets worse the bigger I make it. Or my cheaters aren’t cheating very well.p
Probably the worst $10 investment for 6 pair I ever spent
Odie,
The plaque pic isn’t meant to be clear.
Part of the quiz.
It’s a VFW Past Post Commander plaque,
with 1 brass name plate MISSING.
Remember, this is a Stolen Valor quiz.
🙂
Final HINT to this Stolen Valor quiz –
The reason I took this license plate photo (yesterday morning)….
The last time I saw this license plate,
perhaps 5 years ago,
it was on a DIFFERENT TRUCK.
Stolen Valor Quiz – ANSWER
Mid 1990s –
Joined VFW as a “Vietnam Veteran”.
Wife joined VFW (formerly Ladies’) Auxiliary.
Wife employed as canteen barmaid.
Mid 2000s –
Put custom PA license plate on his truck.
Active at meetings.
Elected to officer posts,
including 2 YEARS as POST COMMANDER.
Late 2010s –
10 years AFTER serving as Post Commander,
questioned hard about his service, and
confessed to having NEVER been in or near Vietnam.
VFW ineligible.
No longer a Post Member of the VFW.
PHONY VIETNAM VETERAN.
NOTE –
Wife remains a canteen barmaid and Auxiliary member,
still eligible due to her father’s war service.
Excellent barmaid, highly respected and trusted.
But she’s (still) married to him.
2020 –
PLAQUE – Brass name plate on
VFW Past Post Commanders plaque REMOVED,
leaving a blank spot with 2 screw holes.
A grim reminder for everyone who sees, and anyone who asks.
2023 (VERIFIED) –
Kept custom license plate on old truck all along.
Transferred same custom license plate to newer truck.
———
Thanks for following along.
I may have ANOTHER Stolen Valor quiz in the next week or three.
🙂
From the thread, “The results of lifting weights being seen as “fat shaming”? Really now!
Then why are they not ALL over every f’in athlete in the world? Aren’t their lifestyles and practices fat-shaming them also? Maybe they all want a world where everyone else eats a couple of pork roasts a day, before dinner. To hell with this nonsense and it is absolute nonsense. Your doc tells you your heart, liver, pancreas, etc. are failing because you are overweight and you tell him, he’s fat-shaming you. Great, then don’t see any docs anymore, save your money and order that 10XXX extra-large coffin and cemetery plot before the prices go up.
Happy weekend!
Holy shit, that’s curiously arousing! Where do I sign?
Count me in!
Sounds fun!
I’m thinking some of our nautically-skilled types could rig a couple torpedoes.
As long as they don’t mount the engines, I’m not opposed to that.
Shots fired!
Sounds like we have five. We will likely need a couple of pilots? Otherwise taxing around the runway blowing things up will get old fast. maybe not that fast….
I work with a crusty old Mohawk observer, pretty sure he’d sign on.
I have a pilot’s license. Just need a quick multi-engine rating an I’m onboard.
I don’t have a pilots license, but I’m a huge fan of OTJ learning.
I have crashed a few hang gliders to spectacular effect and walked away, intact.
Crashing in the heavy metal isn’t usually a walkaway experience. Even a light sport aircraft crash can put you on the wrong side of the grass. Bernasty is exhibit A for that proposition.
Landings and the engine-out procedures are the tricky parts.
I agree with this. 110%
Here, tired as all get-out, and tomorrow’s gonna be worse before it gets better.
Our CoC hosts a vendor shingding downtown, and it’s gonna be a Black Friday preview.
Not. A. Fan.
But family is all healthy, so what’s to gripe about?
Hopefully these shindigs aren’t a regularly scheduled occurrences.
Best part as you mentioned is the family is all healthy.
A Chamber’s gonna schedule anything they think will bring $$$ to the member businesses, as often as they can. It’s just that this one has been gathering steam for 49 years and is very popular.
Lars, your comment? (Might be comatose after that drubbing earlier… )
By now he should be saying that “wasn’t real socialism” and blaming Trump for something… somebody should check on his ass.
Today’s History Lesson…Prepare…
SAFETY BRIEF:
IF AT ANY TIME THIS WEEKEND YOU SAY, “Hold my beer and watch this!”
STOP.
REASESSS.
Meanwhile, there’s the Ukraine business:
Have yourselves a GREAT weekend!
Looks like our kosher friends and halal friends are about to do the man dance again in AO Holy Land-South.
My 2023 Catastrophuck Bingo card is soak thru from the dobber.
Relief….? (I chuckled):
Talk about Shrinkflation.
The left 2×4 is a bear to drive a nail or screw into. I filled more holes attempting
to drywall on an old farmhouse than I really care to admit. I got pretty good at mudding tho.
The not-so-real deal fake ass punk motherfucking Navy SEAL “Phony” Phil Monkress (CEO of All-Points Logistics) works balls.
Since the mainstream media and Facebook no longer have any news articles or memes about the residents displaced in the Maui fires, can we assume that the Biden-Harris Administration came in, cleaned up the mess, erected new housing, and provided the residents who lost all of their possessions a grant to acquire basic necessities?
Hack Stone,
NEW articles almost daily on Maui,
found with a simple deployment of the Fu of Google (tab to “News”).
FaceBook also has news posts,
but it takes more digging in the search tool to reveal them.
Click here, then click “News” tab.

Also, feel free to scroll up.
I gave up the answer to yesterday’s Stolen Valor quiz. 🙂
This might ‘splain it, Hack…
Its got spice, FAST.
Any building with an antenna array should be leveled. Any para glider should be shot down as well.
Hit every one of their electrical substations, water treatment plants, wastewater treatment plants, pumping stations, post hole their roads, and drop every bridge in Gaza. Leave them in the Stone Age where they belong. Good luck rebuilding the electrical infrastructure…I’m in that business and you can’t get a substation transformer in less than 2 years right now.
Oh, and when the UN gives them new shit, blow THAT up too.
The only power station for Gaza is in Israel, they took out their own power.
The power plant is in Israel? Open the breakers that feed Gaza. However, there’s gotta be substations to distribute power to different neighborhoods in Gaza. Blow those up and it makes it harder to use generators to get power to their buildings.
Agreed. I stand with Israel.
The Washington Post, ruining yet another pleasure people may have by tying it to racism. And they wonder why their circulation numbers are lower than quarterly sales numbers for a proud but humble woman owned business that sells outdated and overpriced Red Hat Software to the Federal Government.
