The Persistence of Drunken High School Memory

I was NOT a "bad boy" drinker in HS... but if somebody asked me to CONFIRM what went on at a Viking Theatre cast party, I could not tell you A. SINGLE. DETAIL. (We had sweatshirts... which my mother made into a quilt... that I still use... That's about it).
Why is it SO surprising that drunk high schoolers WHO WERE NOT SEXUALLY ASSAULTED would remember a random house party amidst a sea of random house parties across an entire school year of random house parties?
A BETTER question would be whether or not ANY of them had heard about ANY drinking or drugs or sex at ANY of the parties. Did ANY of the "defenders" ever hear about ANY unwanted sexual contact at ANY of the parties they attended??? Because high school kids are uncontrollable gossips... and drunk, entitled rich high school kids even moreso.
And when a particular drunk, entitled rich kid wrote an entire "fictionalized" novel about sex and drugs and drinking at exclusive prep school parties and said kid was besties (and alleged accomplice) with Brett Kavanaugh, one has to wonder... Wouldn't that kid, and his friends, say ALMOST ANYTHING to not be implicated in a high profile sexual assault allegation?
Side note: "I have no recollection" coming from a blackout drunk is NOT exactly a bedrock defense. #IJS #KavaNAW #WithdrawAlready.
Side note, part deux: The transformation of the right's pretzel logic of the sequence of events is dizzying.
First, he's impeccable. Then, "She's lying." Then, "Innocent until PROVEN guilty!" Then, "Horny kids drink, no big deal." Then, "What boy HASN'T done that.?" Then, "No other incidents!" Then, "A second accuser = librul smear campaign!" Then, "Kavanaugh wasn't my pick; It's STILL a conservative seat!"

The Two Parties are NOT the same.

Thinking about the differences between the Dems and the Trump. Trump is promising "America First" jingoism without delivering anything but racism, while riding the economic tide of his predecessor. Consider what the Dems have been DEMANDED to fix. 1) Healthcare for all Americans 2) Student loan relief 3) A workable immigration solution 4) $15 min. wage and/or guaranteed income 5) Incremental gun regulation 6) Protecting the environment 7) Iran nuclear treaty 8) Thwarting Russian election interference 9) Reparations 10) Lowering taxes for middle class 11) Raising taxes for the 1% 12) Improving K-12 education 13) Rolling back Citizens United 14) Protecting Roe v. Wade 15) A satisfying DC Cinematic Universe (why not?) It's perfectly fine to be in your feelings if you are upset that this country is so f*cked that your particular issue is not being trumpeted by all (or any) of the Democratic primary candidates. It's even OK if you feel that the cur...

Open Letter to GOP recruiters

To whom it may concern: I am a telegenic, articulate, working, married father of two who owns his own house and a small business. Before you come knocking on my door, there are a few ground rules. Rule No. 1 No discussion of "The Party of Lincoln" without claiming Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms too. I know American history well enough, thank you. I also know that Thurmond was only a Democrat until the party decided to stand up for the rights of Black people. Then he jumped ship (while denying his own half-Black daughter) and led the drive to keeping a strong segregated state. Leave Lincoln in his grave (besides, we both know he didn't really emancipate very many don't we?) Rule No. 2 Liberal is not a bad word. It does not mean that Democrats love big government and spending tax dollars foolishly. That's Bush's job. Nor does it mean that I have been stroked and manipulated by a Leftist cabal that wants to think for me. Convince me on the merits of what YOU ...

An open letter to Bob Johnson

BJ... phi... bruh... Your tirade about Barack Obama is appalling. You earned your billion on the backs of ass-slapping videos, blaxploitation reruns and informercials and you have THE GALL to talk about being "insulted" that "we are so stupid?" Back at you, dawg. Incidentally, NOT ONE PERSON was confused about your thinly veiled reference about Obama's days "in the neighborhood." It was pathetic when the recently dismissed Clintonian flak floated it out there. Coming from you, it's traitorously venomous. We were smart enough to avoid buying tickets to "Who's Your Caddy?" and we're smart enough to understand your half-assed attempt at a smear. By the way, if you're going to "go there," have the balls to own up to it. Your backtrack about referring to his days as an organizer is even worse than the smear. Are we to understand that Obama's grass roots community leadership is somehow less legitimate than the...
