Washington wasn't the only badass president.

— jimgeraghty (@jimgeraghty) February 17, 2014And some people think that Alexander Hamilton was a president. Groupon issued an advertisement honoring Hamilton for President's day, and when someone wrote to say Hamilton wasn't, in fact, ever a president (or even a candidate for the office), Groupon responded:
We respect everyone's beliefs. You're certainly entitled to your opinion.
A nice mantra to live by, except when... it makes no sense whatsoever.
Update: Groupon's kidding. Ah okay. It's still funny, but now it's deliberately funny.

It's academic postmodernism in a nutshell.
There are no actual facts. There is no objective external reality. EVERYTHING is illusory, fluid, socially constructed subjective opinion.
These are the people who proclaim that the speed of light cannot be a constant, because to declare such would mean that a particular speed was being "privileged" relative to other speeds. (Presumably underprivileged ethnic-minority gay and lesbian speeds.)
I'm not making up that argument, by the way. Lefty feminist pomo literary theorists really do say, and believe, such things.

If they were, it's arguably a tongue in cheek jab at relativistic thinking.
I have no idea why they originally did the Hamilton president thing though. Could have been a mistake or part of the joke.
In any event, I find their offerings lackluster and haven't purchased anything from them in a long time.

"Condiser the fall season of 1777, near Brandywine Creek, an American officer and his escort were investigating a position to stop British General Howe's forces... A British officer, Captain Patrick Ferguson, inventor of the first breech loading rifle, noticed two figures on horseback riding along the hillside"
Ferguson yelled a warning instead of shooting at the two officers, one of whom was General George Washington. Ferguson could have shot Washington in the back, but did not. Out of military etiquette.

It's after 100 comments, so it's allowed.
Am I the only one who is ready to throat punch the snot nosed little baby sitting punk girl in the Chevy commercial?
The one where she looks at the interior of the car, and then puts the bite on the mother to bump the cost up from $40.00 to $60.00.
Just because she thinks the parents are rich, and she deserves more.

Had to pay $61.00 for 500rds of CCI standard velocity at my range today.
Got home and found 1k rds of CCI at Cabela's for $67.00
They sold out about ten minutes after my order.
Drove to two Dick's, and three Walmarts first thing this morning.
Nothing,
Not at any price.

So, um, alternate history:
McGovern wins in 1972 on the "Come Home America" platform and disengages as rapidly as is reasonably possible from South Vietnam.
Compared to actual history, South Vietnam looks different at the end of 1975 how again exactly?
Either version ends up in a national puss-out. With a Communist flag over Saigon in the end.
Further: you have to figure on the extremely high odds of, in a 1972 McGovern victory scenario, that the guy is one and done, impossible to re-elect. At least for a white radical leftist facing the 1970s electoral demographics.
Do you then see a vicious primary fight between Spiro Agnew and Ronald Reagan for the GOP nomination in 1976? Talk about a fateful showdown.

Ammo that is sold out is a nickel a shot.
Ammo that is available is a dime a shot.
Sort of like unicorns.
You know they're out there.
Agghh!!!
There's that damn babysitter commercial again.

Would that be before or after Carter? The timeline gets a little blurry that far back.
Ok, ya, McGovern, Carter, Clinton, and Obama for the trifecta. Put Hillary in there somewhere for the power ball pick.

I think you are nitpicking here. After all, doesn't every TV series browbeat us over how intolerant we are?

No, not that one.
Or his dad.
Nor the most overrated top 5 pick running back since Troy Hambrick.
Nah, not the singer either.
No, this one.

Nothing says bad-ass president like gun, tight black blouse, and putting a big N in front of your name so people know you're too cool to be named after 2 presidents.
