“If you don’t want to be “misrepresented,” represent yourself better. If you want to be better understood, write with more understanding. If you want to feel more loved, find a private chatroom where everyone shares your beliefs. But if you want to come to this page and cast aspersions, I suggest you stop with the excuses, put on your big-boy pants, and make a more persuasive argument.”
“Believe it or not though, this really isn’t about you; you’re just the latest guy to argue that a college degree is the only way to become an “educated non-racist.” I push back against guys like you all the time, because my foundation gives hard-working individuals the skills they need by training them for jobs that don’t require a college degree. These people are not “uneducated,” and there is absolutely no logical reason to assume they’re harboring “white nationalist tendencies.” So far, we’ve helped over 1,000 such people, and I hope to help many more before you and the rest of the Honey Badgers bring me down. As for mandatory civil service or mandatory college, no thanks. I’m more enamored of free will, free markets, hard work, and an educational system that equally values and promotes all forms of enlightenment.”
Good morning and thanks for passing on the good news re: Tex. Hope Rabbit and BW are OK.
Be careful this week, Fatwa.
Talked to my friends in Houston last night -- they are all OK. So far.
Good morning, Gerbil Nation!
Good morning, Sven!
Students return to school today -- let the fun begin!
RaBbiT and BW should be fine -- they’re far enough north, like Mac, that this storm shouldn’t be an issue.
Hi, Paddy! Good luck with the start of a new semester.
You just have to love Mike Rowe:

Gotta love Mike Rowe!
Drive-by:
All JimCo roofing personnel survived the day.
Hopefully, we’ll do teh same tomorrow. 😉
Time for a cold shower.
*poo-t*
Thanks for checking in, Fatwa. I’m glad everyone survived the heat. At least it’s a dry heat (insert inappropriate joke here).
