Al Kaline had what is called a "slip of the tongue" on a Detroit radio show when he was 71 years old. He was asked if he knew a certain player (who reveled he is gay) and played in MLB in the 60s. Kaline said yea everybody knew his was a 'FAG' - But we didn't care he was a really nice guy. Right! What a homophobic ass!!


Down it goes!

Kate Smith did whatever in the 1930s. Try telling the Ds they were the party of segregation.

People change. Parties change. Whatever.

The War on Snowflakes is an absolute travesty. Weak kneed hand wringing, faux outrage and crocodile tears are a Constitutionally protected way of life. How dare anyone, ANYONE, criticize those who swoon when their oh-so-delicate sensitivities are ruthlessly upset? The moral outrage of widespread failing to be offended shakes America to the core. I'm so upset that I'll...I'll...tweet!!!!

That's pretty selfless of you. All for the greater good.

Muh President has had a very active morning. Shooting off 12 tweets already. This one's the best. Bill Clinton says hello.

Someone actually did a count and he's tweeted or retweeted items over 50 times in the past 24 hours. Deals getting DONE!!

Speaking of Twitter, President Deals says Twitter needs to stop 'playing games' with follower counts (he's knows he really has way more followers than Twitter says) and Congress needs to get involved and look into this.

Bring back the legendary William McKinley on the $500 and Cap'n Nonconsecutive Steve Cleveland on the $1000. For the love of god, I'm sick of carrying around rolls of hundos. Fucking bullshit.

McKinley and Cleveland never owned slaves! That's why :::conspiracy theory:::: they were taken out of circulation!

Dr. Strangelove's brilliant sardonic railing against those who think maybe, perhaps, PC stuff is a little over the edge is particularly timely. The National Review is complaining about NYU students shouting down German Kate Smith -- Henry Kissinger. They yelled the standard stuff that sets Dr. Strangelove aflutter like "War Criminal!" and "Nazi!". The latter, of course, is revealing of the folks on that side as Kissinger fought in WWII against, you know, the Nazis.

As Kissinger has said, a society needs great objectives to which it can apply itself with conviction, instead of being obsessed with its own shortcomings. Dr. Strangelove derisively snorts in the old man's direction.

Salmon P. Chase was on the $10,000....not a slave owner. Motherfucker. Slave Power still rulez!

When Grover Cleveland finally did get married (the only President to marry at the White House) he married a woman less than half his age (he was 49) whom he had helped raise since she was a little girl.

Frances Cleveland didn't die until after WWII to give you some perspective on their age difference.

It may shock you to discover that I find Henry Kissinger a lot more objectionable than Kate Smith singing minstrel songs in 1931. Yelling "Nazi" at him is stupid but "war criminal"...? Not inaccurate
