The U.S. electorate contains some interesting people.

". . .as if I, who have pictures of black people on my wall,"

(Just by coincidence, those pictures all have the word "Wanted" as a caption.)

Covington, KY, the only city I've ever been in with drive-through liquor stores, by the bottle or the drink.

Very funny, but also incredibly depressing. Sort of nihilist, but not for nothing.

Sigh. Though to be fair Senator Crenshaw and President Boo-Boo might be an improvement on Cruz and Trump.

Oh god. Well it’s a call to arms at least. Aristocrats, priests, entrails, etc.

Anecdote !!

I had a roomie for a year in grad'school who was from Covington. Maybe from that school too, as he went undergrad at Xavier and ended up teaching at a Cath school. Anyway, spent the first few months pining for his fiancee, often with declarations that he was a 'true-blue-Kentuckian '.

By the end of the year he had dumped the fiancee in favor of another student in that Dept.

Never struck me as a privilaged asshole, though.

I knew you were going to write about the Covington jerks but I didn't realize you would give me fodder for nightmares. President Honey BooBoo. Holy crap.
