It's nice to know there's something the Republicans and Conservatives consider a bottom line they'll agree on with the Liberals and Democrats. Of course, it took the KKK to accomplish that. Talk about a lowest common denominator.

    Er... if that were actually broadly true, Trump would be being run off the GOP primaries on a rail, not winning more delegates than every other GOP candidate combined.  Oh sure, there are Republican/"conservative" voices unhappy with Trump.  But there are also strong signs of many ostensible Democratic/"liberal" voters being swayed to Trump [1], let alone enough GOP support to make Trump not just the front-runner, but far and away the most likely current nominee.

    The bottom line is that it is plainly obvious that Trump's KKK episode has been far from a dealbreaker. That there are lots of Republicans / Conservatives - and for that matter, Democratic voters - who are really just fine with that. Right now, enough for Trump to be very much on track to win the GOP nomination.

    Oh, I just mean the official talking heads. As has been pointed out elsewhere, the fact is that the Dixiecrats lost their Jim Crow primacy and those members of the populace shifted to the Republican party a few decades ago. Also, the official Republican in front and the secret Republican in back folks are, finally, trying to ditch Trump, but apparently they are not so good at it.

TIL that some languages apparently have words inherently differentiating one's status as a citizen or resident of the entity versus a member of a particular ethnic or cultural group? I don't quite grasp the whole thing, although I heard the point being made. What's interesting to me is a) that there is such a thing, which seems very revealing of something about a culture that would need such concepts built into the language, and b) that there seem to be people who think it's inaccurate to interpret the word choice as meaningful. Firstly, since languages have all sorts of concepts built into them, many very specific to their primary culture of use, it seems reasonable that such a thing could exist. Not that I would have thought of it before, since I'm not from a culture where that sort of subtlety functions. Secondly, if that is, indeed, the subtlety of the word choices, where one essentially and inherently includes people, and the other excludes, then I'd kind o...

Good News:

Good News: 1. Thruway is open between Buffalo and Rochester. 2. You can get on it going from Buffalo south to Pennsylvania, but you cannot get off of it between Buffalo and Pennsylvania. 3. Almost all the other major highways are open. 4. This is important, because with no highways open, there was no way to truck in food for the grocery stores, or gas for the cars and snow removal equipment and generators, etc. Yes, some places were starting to run low. (Yeah, they removed all the refineries and terminals years ago. Which is why our gas is still well above $3/gal. The closest place we get it from is Akron, OH. Wtf, government. P.S. Good plan! That whole section of I-90 runs along the eastern side of Lake Erie. FYI, that would be the part where they get Lake Effect snow. All winter, every winter. Good strategic planning.) Bad News: 1. Roofs are collapsing all over the place. And we haven't gotten the melt and rain, yet. 2. A lot of communities are days away from being reached by the...
