FTR, this was my idea, I posted it in the IRC and Snowstalker stole it

Oldiesfreak, here's the truth in a nutshell:

Democratic Solid South-LBJ does the Civil rights thing-AUH20 wins Deep South-Nixon appeals to the racists in the Democratic party-Racist democrats vote for him-Nixon resigns-Ford and Carter are not racist-Ronald Reagan elected-Black people hate Ronald Reagan-Racists mostly join GOP except for hacks and party loyalits.

It's not so much that Nixon appealed to the racists in the Democratic party as that Humphrey and McGovern did not.  In terms of their public rhetoric when it came to either support for civil rights or supposed racial code words, Nixon and Ford weren't that different.

How is Lenin losing?

My feelings exactly, especially considering how many people on here are big lovers of Eugene Debs.

Anyway, if it's a US election, Thatcher/Thatcher.  If it's a global one, Thatcher/Lenin.

the crazy thing is, Lenin's actually winning.

Probably the best part of that is the addition of SpongeBob. I mean WTF?

How can a show that's set underwater but yet has fire and a squirrel (Sandy) NOT be stupid?

The squirrel lives in a dome and has to wear an air helmet when not in her dome. The other aquatic creatures have to wear bowls containing water when they are in the tree dome. I figured this out at the age of three.

I get that, but the concept of a squirrel underwater is still REALLY stupid.  It also shows contempt for nautical folklore by portraying the Flying Dutchman as a pirate, when the actual Flying Dutchman of myth was a ship, not a person.

Preschoolers are typically not fluent in nautical folklore.

and now we know why not.
