Breaking - lingo, dialect, tribes, and Millennials may make a new kind of tribalism

Racism
AG Jeff - invited to a reefer retreat in Massachusetts where recreational ganja is newly-legal
You're Thinking - the distribution of hate groups in America may surprise you
What's Hot
Fluming - the sci fi about a nuke war was written in the Fifties and Sixties so what's a writer to do now (that title is one of my better efforts)
Fire the Troika! - anything which deports Steve Bannon will be regarded as good news
You Aren't - farm the Lamborghini way and it's authentic
Ronald Reagan - there is no attempt at a gag since "Storm Warning" presents the frame of reference of America in 1951 and there's information in that which it presents but also that which it doesn't. There's no racial aspect to it since black people still used separate water fountains and sat at the back of the bus. They had won the vote almost a century earlier but Heaven help them if they tried to use it and there's probably not any way anyone who is white can fully grasp what a horror it must have been. That was their frame of reference and black people really weren't truly significant in their eyes except in special cases.
The movie isn't particularly good but the portrait of that time is interesting and important. I can hypothesize regarding what they might have said within their frame of reference if I asked them why are black people not part of this. I won't speculate on the response, tho.
