rsometimes you laugh simply because the alternative is appalling.

For you Yankees, there’s a bit of old Southern wisdom on the subject:

“If’n I don’ laugh, I’s sure as shit stinks gwan cry.”

Most appreciated. Now please figure out a way to get her out of congress. Disturbing doesn’t even begin to describe that woman.

If I actually lived in Minn I don’t think I’d be laughing, I’d probably be bawling my eyes out while drowning out her voice with rotgut rye whiskey.

Hold on a second, got to wipe the tears out of my eyes. Right, what was I saying? Oh yeah, ha! That is hysterical.. yes yes yes. Too much credit indeed. Whooo…. is that funny. Oh crap, my side hurts.

Maybe I’m giving her too much credit.

2. I’ve written literally thousands of posts about the general issue since 2002. I’ve very familiar with the difference between those who support “enforcement” and those who actually support enforcement.

I can type almost anything in a Latin-1 language without having to switch keyboard layouts on a Mac, but no other platform seems to like dead keys.

In the same key without “Shift” you’ll find ¡The opening exclamation mark!

PS: Additionally, you will be able to type the marvelous “ñ” and the great “ç”.

Not for banning anyone, but just for the people to know.
