We read the Federalist papers like a priest reciting the Agnus Dei, but we very rarely consider Federalist 14 and 15 in terms or what they are actually discussing: the perennial and structural problem of governing a large republic.

There is no way around the fact that if the "Southern Caucus" in Congress were formed today, it would instantly be the most powerful entity in the federal government, with the possible exception of the Israeli military.

It's easy to laugh about the Irish but the united states absorbed basically all of Ireland in the 19th century and the only real result was our women got cuter and we sprouted a sense of humor. Ten years of German immigration though got us a fully automated communist 5th…

Big difference is the Russian head of state has to be a tight wired strong man and the president of the US just kinda has to sign documents put in front of him & sit at the head of a table occasionally.

You all remember that crying woman from a few weeks ago? Well here it is again with less crying. Much harder to dismiss. The solution is much simpler than it appears though-- have to develop the neglected hinterland. It has to be a total infrastructure project that dwarfs the…

Still some things wrong with the formula, but wew not bad for a first shot. This probably needs some more population weighting.

This doesn't work, there aren't enough hunters. They tried this in Arkansas and on just ONE highway last week I stopped counting at over 100 deer. 🧵

@Sargon_of_Akkad Do what we do in Colorado, issue an additional hunting season or increase the bag limit for those who have a license. Over-crowded deer can develop diseases like Chronic Wasting Disease [mad-cow type prion disease].

The idea of "Cracker" being some kind of ethnic pejorative for white people is weird, and actually probably mostly a product of Hollywood/politics just feeling the *burning* desire to create an inverse set of slurs to corrspond with Tha Big One. It literally just means "people…

Historical range is wrong. Phrase is actually a British invention which makes it kinda dumb, but it has become a less impolite way to refer to the "cracker", which originally was anyone in this range (probably extending north to grab the cattle ecosystems spilling out of western…

Southerners with any amount of self consciousness are just terminally excluded from American mainline culture these days. Even the "hicklibs" reflect our fundamental out of syncness with the shit the rest of you are always banging on about.

In Russell County people like to get their work done before the sun comes over the mountain, knock off early and catch fish the rest of the day. They know they're never going to have neighbors with 200 dollar wine, and they mostly understand the tradeoff they've made.

In 400 years, maybe far less, the only thing people will say about Woodrow Wilson is "he was a great conqueror-- all of Europe prostrated themselves before him, he entered Paris to a triumphal parade like Caesar himself"
