He lives there because it’s where everything that matters exists. It’s a cultural and economic center and that’s what he craves instead of the backwater, deadend lummoxes he has to stump for. Also, you just know Chao gives him shit every night for bringing this kind of crap to their doorstep and he has to take it because he needs her father’s money.

From Hullabaloo: The punishment is the message

The piece has a great discussion of the psychological condition of the US today and how some of our base instincts might be harnessed for good.

The title of the piece comes from the last paragraph:

Something must be done to stuff this authoritarian genie back into its bottle. And it cannot wait until November 2018 or 2020. A live experiment in whether shame and shunning has any lasting effect is worth trying. But it might be more effective if progressives can refrain from leftsplaining it to the subjects of the shunning. The punishment is the message. The message is not the punishment.

Wait a minute. I’m all aboard if it Fight the Power by the Isley Brothers.
Not so much if it is by Public Enemy.

I’ve never wanted to own a restaurant, but it occurs to me I might really clean up in DC if I opened “Wonderbread”
wonderbread american cheese sandwiches
wonderbread baloney sandwiches
wonderbread peanut butter and grape jelly sandwiches
and for that little touch of south of the border - Nachos! - Flander’s style.

I think the Isleys have ‘prior art’ for Fight the Power (1975) over Public Enemy (1989) by almost 15 years.
The Isleys are clearly the winner here, as McConnell wouldn’t even cognate on the Public Enemy song, calling it “that rap sh*t” I surmise. But yeah, it must have been PE. :wink:

Yep…I truly truly hope McConnell ended up having to listen to the 3rd verse:

Elvis was a hero to most but he
Elvis was a hero to most
Elvis was a hero to most
But he never meant shit to me you see
Straight up racist that sucker was
Simple and plain
Mother fuck him and John Wayne
'Cause I’m Black and I’m proud
I’m ready and hyped plus I’m amped
Most of my heroes don’t appear on no stamps
Sample a look back you look and find
Nothing but rednecks for four hundred years if you check
Don’t worry be happy
Was a number one jam
Damn if I say it you can slap me right here
(Get it) let’s get this party started right
Right on, c’mon
What we got to say (yeah)
Power to the people no delay
Make everybody see
In order to fight the powers that be

I’ve still got the vinyl stored away in a box in the basement, but no turntable to play it on.

DOH!

Shouldn’t all of McConnell’s corporate whoring have made him a billionaire by now?
