Performative Cruelty
It's the performative cruelty the MAGA faithful demand. That's why I say that if a person votes for Trump, then they cannot be classified as a good person.

Immigration
First, allowing people to "just walk in" isn't something that concerns me. There are not enought people who are doing it. We have 360 million people in this country. There aren't nearly enough people...
Party Cove
The secretary at the law firm I worked at in independence had 3 kids, 13,9 and 2. Left the 13 year old in charge for the weekend. She partied with lawyers at a seminar at Tan tar a, where she...
Juneteenth
The CEO of my former employer had a lot of fake woke energy. He would send out these email essays right around Juneteenth, but be sure to sneak in stuff like "All lives matter". After I left, I'd...
Fireworks
Back in the day, I was setting off fireworks with a pal. I was probably 13 or so. Cop gets there and asks where my parents are, so I told them this white kid was my brother. Cop looked at me sideways...
A's Fandom
I have to admit something shameful from my past. In 2001, I attempted to switch my fandom to the A's. It was a different time. Billy Beane was fleecing the Royals over and over. All of our best...
White Status Anxiety
I've thought and read about this a lot. Here's what I've come up with: A group will step on those they perceive as being below them. By providing poor whites with the illusion they're better than...
Lost
I stopped watching Lost in the middle of Season 4, but then decided I'd watch the finale. I began reading the episode recaps, and became angrier and angrier as I went on. In the end, I decided it...
I'm Coffee
I was out in the mix, helping my pals romance women who are probably school board Karens now and dancing at the grimiest clubs in Lawrence. I should be called coffee because I grind so fine.
More Political Parties
I think both parties are too corrupt to be trusted. When I vote, I'm picking the lesser of 2 evils rather than voting for a party. We need additional viable parties, and then you'd have to build a...
Getting Out Of Jury Duty
When you pull up at the courthouse, park at the 15 min meter, and pay. Go into the courtroom where jury selection is being done, identify at least one of the lawyers, and say, "Black Lives Matter"....
Trumpets' Golden Calf
They are the modern day equivalent of the idolaters who were worshipping the Golden Calf. Look at them. These people literally worship Trump. If he's not a Golden Calf, I don't know what is Please go...
Donut Boy
Muneer: Can I call the police donut boy, or is that like the N-word now? Steve: Short answer to both questions: yes.
Got My Pfizer
I just got the Pfizer vaccine. If you're "vaccine-hesitant", stop being stupid and schedule an appointment when it's available.
The Presidents As Mario Characters
If Ronald Reagan was Mario, Trump is Wario.
Tofu
Muneer: I knew a dude in college who used to eat tofu submerged in maple syrup for breakfast. Lisette: I assume that man is in prison today. Muneer: He cut me out of his life in 2008. Lisette: You...
King Ralph In Real Life
Muneer: I just want the Supreme Court nomination ceremony to end up being like the opening scene in King Ralph. Steve: That takes me back. Muneer: Instead of it all happening at once, it can happen...

St. Patrick's Day is 4/20 for alcoholics.
Xmas 2016
Merry 'All The Threats Of Not Getting Presents Because Santa Only Gives Gifts To Those On The Nice List Have No Teeth, Be As Naughty As You Want' Day.
The Only Person Who Can Complain
Back in 1996, I was complaining about some political issue on the KU bus. Some guy says, "You have no right to complain if you don't vote." I looked at him and said, "I have no right to vote since...

Happy Home Invasions Are Fine If You're White And Fat And Only Eat Food Left By The Fireplace Day.
Marketing
I'm now part of the Marketing team at work. It's not a new job, just my team getting shuffled over here. I'm going to need to watch the subliminal advertising episode of Saved by the Bell tonight.
No More Jeans
Jeans days are now banned at work. My outfit today has a definite "I work at a golf store in the mall" vibe to it.
Jersey Shore Studies
If I were a Women's Studies major, my thesis topic would be "The Fossil Watch As Sexual Currency on the Jersey Shore".
Crazy Alternative
Calling someone crazy is too derogatory. We should instead call them people who experience a wide range of emotions on a regular basis.
Random Totally Random
I will be traveling by plane in November. Looking forward to being "randomly selected" at the airport, just like every other time I fly.
Mugabe
The New Yorker described Robert Mugabe as the Emperor Palpatine Of African politics. Checks out.
Praying On It
When someone says "I' need to pray on it", I hear "I don't believe in this bad idea yet, but I will get back to you after deluding myself".
Punjabi
You should not sing the chorus to the Punjabi song "Mera Long Gawacha" in a predominantly black neighborhood.
Happy New Year
As a youth in Saudi Arabia, I once collaborated with two classmates and made a dot matrix ASCII drawing that said "Happy New Year". After hanging it up, we basked in the admiration of our fellow...
