Ben Carson dropped out of the GOP race 4 or 5 days ago and, in keeping with how most people regard his general demeanor, I didn't even notice. So I guess we're kinda into the quarter-finals now.
Medicine Woman --Cheryl Savageau medicine woman they call me as if I should like it like the kids in school who called me little white dove from some stupid song about one more Indian woman jumping to her death how come you have an animal name? they asked me, how come? and I went home to ask my father how come, Dad, how come I have an animal name? now white women come into my shop and ask me to bless their houses (what's wrong with them, I want to ask) name their grandchildren (do I know your daughters?) blow some smoke around say some words, do whatever it is you do we want someone spiritual - you're Indian, right? right. my tongue is held by their grey hair they are grandmothers deserving of respect and so I speak as gently as I can you'd let me, a stranger come into your home, I ask let me touch your new grandchild let me name the baby anything that comes into my head? I am not believing this but they are smiling and tell me again we want someone spiritual to do it I write to my father how come you never told me who we are, where we came from? Women keep coming into my shop putting stones in my hands Can you feel that? they ask Of course I can feel it I'm not dead, but that is not the right answer My father writes back the garden is doing good the corn is up there's lots of butterflies all I know is we come from the stars
I like Trevor Noah and I want him to do well, and I want the suits to stay with him until he can get his feet under himself, but seriously, Comedy Central's got the wrong guy hosting The Daily Show.
I wanna stop being part of the problem, but I can't helping thinking that part of the solution is to make sure more and more people have to look at what a 3rd rate burlesque show the GOP has become. And to remind the Repub voters that this is what they've been asking for all along. Trump, Cruz, Rubio - these are their guys.

Gimme what we'll spend the next several years on a coupla fully-loaded Ford class aircraft carriers, and I'll turn every public school in this joint into a fucking palace. Not by painting the walls and landscaping the parking lots, but by helping the people who struggle sometimes just to survive in the neighborhoods where those schools are.
You can't fix the schools if you don't fix the neighborhoods. And you can't fix the neighborhoods without giving people solid reasons to believe we're not gonna turn our backs on them and allow their kids to be mangled and pulverized by the cycle of poverty ignorance and crime.
The Sedlec Ossuary located in the suburbs of the medieval town of Kutná Hora in Czech Republic is one of the most unusual chapels. Decorated with more than 40.000 human skeletons, the medieval gothic church is also known as the Church of Bones.
Not to be overly generalize-y, but you're not gonna convince me that most of this churchy shit isn't really just a death cult rebranded.
