Kentucky uses it's otherwise defunct state militia as a legal basis for a program to recognize residents of the state who perform significant and/or consistent acts of charity to their communities. The program is "The Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels" and when a person is inducted into the program the governor officially appoints them as an officer in the state militia with the rank of colonel.

Who's going to invade, occupy, and rebuild the US like the Allies did in Germany? The US is the most powerful country in the world, is the third largest by both land area and population, nobody has the resources for either the invasion or the rebuilding. American fascism would be a long lasting fascism with civil war as the only hope for restoring democracy, as much as we have it now.

Nope, a tree doesn't become seasonal just because you put lights on it in December. Dressing it up shows that the statue is a general uses decoration that can be customized for any season.

I've seen Highlander, you can conceal a full size katana in the inside breast pocket of a trench coat. You can even go for a run with it there and the coat will flap and move like the sword isn't even there.

McDonald's is to blame for Batman Forever and Batman and Robin, sort of. Batman Returns was a very dark movie, it is my favorite live action Batman so far but it wasn't made for kids. That didn't stop them from making Batman Returns happy meal toys. The toys were all bright fun things like Penguin spinning his umbrella and they came out a few months before the movie. Kids got excited to see it and too many people assume that any comic book movie is made for kids. Batman 89 wasn't exactly kid friendly, for the 80s it wasn't too bad though. Batman Returns on the other hand had Danny Devito's Penguin. Parents were horrified, kids had nightmares, and, sadly, Tim Burton got fired from the franchise. The series was changed to be family friendly and died shortly thereafter.

Mostly us.

We're not the only ones that can do that. Wolves, dingoes and other wild dogs, and hyenas are also persistence predators. All species of the Homo genus were persistence predators but we're the only one still around.

E:Our level of hand eye coordination is unique to the Homo genus. We're the only living animals that can use thrown weapons effectively. Chimpanzees are the next best throwers and at a range of 6.5ft they hit their target with about 11% of their throws.

Ted Cruz is a natural born citizen. He was born in Canada but his mother was an American citizen who met residency requirements to pass citizenship to him so he was a US citizen at birth.

A Martha Stewart/Snoop Dogg ticket would be interesting. I kinda want to see Snoop in the debate though so maybe a Snoop Dogg/Martha Stewart ticket.

If you want to guarantee a win though Oprah is the answer. Just to maximize Trump's rage I say we need Oprah/RuPaul 2024.

I would assume "on the ropes" was a reference to Andre being a wrestler. Don't think it was meant to be about his death.

The first time I watched a true crime documentary it scared the crap out of me. I was eight, I think, and it was about Jack the Ripper. I watched it in a small dark smokey lounge in the back of a funeral home with some other kids of similar age and then had to run out to the car alone probably around 10:30pm or so.

The job application one should be pronounced with a long a as the second e. Despite the last e not being silent the u is still elongated. It's a recent adoption from French. Even though they are spelled the same the two words are unrelated.
